The BioSign™ Central Station provides the clinician with a status index (BioSign™ Index) based on a weighted average of five vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The BioSign™ index is a single measure of a patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. BioSign™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring. The BioSign™ Central Station displays BioSign indices for multiple patients. Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. ## Device Story Software accessory for standard multi-parameter patient monitors or clinical information systems; operates on standard PC. Inputs: heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation. Processing: advanced signal processing fuses vital signs into a single 'BioSign Index' representing deviation from normality based on a model derived from historic clinical data. Output: visual display of BioSign indices for multiple patients. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals; provides decision support for determining patient status. Does not include alarms or parameter thresholds; adjunct to standard monitoring; intended to assist clinicians in assessing patient condition. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Design verification confirmed device met specifications. Design validation confirmed the BioSign index model conformed to user needs and intended use. No clinical trial data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based analysis system running on standard off-the-shelf PC hardware. No direct patient contact. Uses signal processing to fuse five vital signs (HR, RR, Temp, SpO2, BP) into a single index. No alarms or parameter thresholds. Connectivity via integration with existing patient monitors or clinical information systems. ## Regulatory Identification A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits. ## Predicate Devices - BioSign™ ([K053112](/device/K053112.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

General Information Trade Name of Device: Common/Usual Name: Classification Name: Submitters Name and Address: OBS Medical Hamilton Crossing 4 12900 N. Meridian St Carmel, IN 46032 Tel 317-581-9236 Fax 317-581-8941 "BioSign™ Central Station" Accessory to multi-parameter patient monitor (bedside or ambulatory) Physiological Patient Monitor (without arrhythmia detection or alarms) Manufacturer: Oxford BioSignals Limited Brook House 174 Milton Park Abingdon Oxon OX14 4SE United Kingdom #### 2. Device Description BioSign™ Central Station is a software accessory to standard multiple parameter physiological patient monitors (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information systems. It operates on a standard PC, or personal computer. BioSign™ is a software device that through advanced signal processing can combine physiological signals in order to produce a single index (BioSign index) representation of patient condition. BioSign™ is a computerized analysis system that can accept multiple channels of physiological data (for example heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure and oxygen saturation as inputs). Through advanced signal processing, BioSign can identify changes in patient status. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 3. Indications for Use The BioSign ™ Central Station is an accessory to multi-parameter patient monitors (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information system and is indicated for use by health care professionals with those non-pediatric high dependency care patients for whom multi-parameter patient monitoring has been routine. The BioSign™ Central Station provides the clinician with a status index (BioSign™ Index) based on a weighted average of five vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The BioSign™ index is a single measure of a patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. BioSign™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring. The BioSign™ Central Station displays BioSign indices for multiple patients. Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. #### 4. Substantial Equivalence The BioSign™ Central Station device is substantially equivalent to the following devices: Predicate device: BioSign™ Company: OBS Medical 510(K) Number: K053112 The BioSign™ Central Station is a software accessory to multi-parameter physiological pattent monitors and as such is substantially equivalent to the BioSign™ bedside monitor. BioSign™ Central Station is substantially equivalent to BioSign in that its displayed graphical representation of the fused vital signs is created by computer analysis and provides decision support to a clinician in the determination of normality based on a model derived from historic clinical data. Both devices are adjuncts to vital sign monitoring. Both devices use the same algorithm to fuse the vital signs and display the BioSign index. Please note BioSign™ Central Station, does not include any alarms or parameter thresholds. BioSign is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital sign monitoring #### ડ. Performance Studies Design verification: Design verification testing of the BioSign™ Central Station hardware and software against the specified requirements has been conducted and the BioSign™ device has been found to meet the specifications. {2}------------------------------------------------ ### Prepared 13 August 2007 Design validation: Design validation testing of the BioSign™ index model has been conducted and concluded that device specifications conformed with user needs and intended use. Electrical Safety: The BioSign™ Central Station is composed of standard, off the shelf PC computer components. There is no contact with the patient and the user assumes no risk greater than that when using a standard desk-top personal computer. #### 6. Conclusion Based upon the indications for use and performance studies the BioSign™ Central Station has been shown to be substantially equivalent for its intended use. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
