Intended Use
CIMVA Universal is indicated for analyzing patterns of variation of physiological parameters (heart rate and respiratory rate) derived from the output of third party monitoring systems. CIMVA Universal is not designed for vital signs monitoring or self-monitoring of patients.
Device Story
CIMVA Universal is a software-based analysis tool residing on hospital servers or computers; it imports retrospective physiological data (heart rate, respiratory rate) from third-party monitoring systems. The software allows clinicians to select and apply public-domain multi-organ variability analysis algorithms to the imported data (up to 96 hours). It generates configurable reports for research purposes, enabling clinicians to assess how variability measures change in response to user-inputted clinical events. The device is intended for use by clinicians in a hospital setting as an adjunct to existing monitoring systems. It does not perform real-time monitoring, provides no alarms, and does not replace vital signs monitoring. By quantifying physiological variability, it assists physicians in conducting research on the clinical utility of these measurements.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Software validation was performed to demonstrate compliance with FDA guidance for software in medical devices and Class II Special Controls for Arrhythmia Detectors and Alarms. Testing confirmed the software operates according to its labeling claims.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device; operates on hospital servers or computers. Implements public-domain algorithms for multi-organ variability analysis. Connectivity via periodic import of recorded data from third-party physiological monitors. No hardware components, sensors, or energy sources integral to the device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for analyzing patterns of variation in heart rate and respiratory rate derived from third-party monitoring systems. Not for vital signs monitoring or patient self-monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
The arrhythmia detector and alarm device monitors an electrocardiogram and is designed to produce a visible or audible signal or alarm when atrial or ventricular arrhythmia, such as premature contraction or ventricular fibrillation, occurs.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm” will serve as the special control. See § 870.1 for the availability of this guidance document.

#### b. Date Summary Prepared 1 March 2013
#### c. Description of Device
The CIMVA Universal software is resident in a hospital server or other computer that is periodically connected to a repository of recorded data from third party physiological monitors. The current version of the software has four functions:
1. Allows the user to import a specified amount of recorded monitor data (e.g. up to 96 hours) stored in external repositories.
2. Allows the physician to choose the type of multi-organ variability analysis that he/she desires.
3. Calculates the selected measures of Variability.
4. Provides a physician-configurable report of the calculations
CIMVA Universal also allows the clinician to measure the degree to which multi-organ variability measures are altered in response to clinical events that are input by the user.
The calculations performed by CIMVA Universal are algorithms available in the public domain (as described in journal articles, etc.). None of the variability measures are proprietary to TMS. The results of these analyses could help physicians conduct research on the potential clinical utility of one or more of these variability measurements.
#### d. Indications for Use
CIMVA Universal is indicated for analyzing patterns of variation of physiological parameters (heart rate and respiratory rate) derived from the output of third party monitoring systems. CIMVA Universal is not designed for vital signs monitoring or self-monitoring of patients.
#### e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The CIMVA Universal is not a stand-alone analysis device, rather it is intended to be an adjunct to third party physiological monitors. As a result, substantial equivalence is justified by comparing a third party physiological monitor (in this case the Philips IntelliVue; K 103646) versus the same IntelliVue device with the CIMVA Universal attached.
The use of the CIMVA Universal does not change the intended use of the predicate device. The CIMVA Universal does not raise new or additional questions of safety or effectiveness because all analyses are retrospective and none of them constitute a vital sign. The CIMVA Universal has no alarms associated with its analysis.

### K123472 p3/3
The testing described below establishes that CIMVA Universal is in compliance with the Special Controls for Physiological Monitors with the product code MHX.
The company concludes that the Philips IntelliVue with the CIMVA Universal is substantially equivalent to the predicate Philips IntelliVue.
## f. Summary of Supporting Data
Software validation has demonstrated that the CIMVA Universal is in compliance with the FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, and the applicable sections of the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Arrhythmia Detector and Alarm.
Testing has demonstrated that the software device operates in accordance with its labeling claims.
