Indications for Use

The Marquette Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor is a multi-parameter patient monitoring system that is cleared to market as part of Marquette's wired Unity network. The Marquette Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor is now indicated for use on Marquette's wireless LAN. Wireless LAN is a method of communicating to the Marquette Unity Network using a wireless connection. This capability: ~provides identical networking function to standard Ethernet; ~permits integration to the network without physical connection to the Ethernet wall plate. This device is viewed as a technology change and can be used with various other Marquette devices. Marquette has clearances for various patient monitors and its central station which are part of its wired Unity network. The intended patient population is limited to the same population as the device that the technology is being used with. This device should be used by people who are trained in the use of the equipment. This device is intended to be used within the hospital / facility environment.

Device Story

Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) technology for Marquette Unity Network; enables wireless communication for Marquette patient monitors (e.g., Eagle 4000) and central stations; replaces physical Ethernet wall plate connection with wireless link; provides identical networking functionality to standard wired Ethernet; used in hospital/facility environments by trained clinical staff; allows integration of patient monitoring data into existing network infrastructure without physical tethering; facilitates continuous patient monitoring and data transmission to central stations; benefits include increased mobility and flexible placement of monitoring equipment within clinical settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation testing compared wireless LAN performance to wired LAN performance on the Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor. Testing confirmed compliance with IEC 601-1-1 (safety), IEEE C95.1-1991 (RF exposure), CISPR 11 Class A (EMC), and IEC 1000-4 series/MIL-STD 462D (immunity). Results indicate equivalent performance to wired systems.

Technological Characteristics

Wireless Ethernet networking module; operates within hospital/facility environments; complies with IEEE C95.1-1991 for RF exposure; meets CISPR 11 Class A for emissions and IEC 1000-4/MIL-STD 462D for immunity; provides identical networking function to standard Ethernet; integrates with existing Marquette Unity Network infrastructure.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring multi-parameter monitoring in hospital or clinical facility environments, consistent with the population indicated for the specific Marquette patient monitor or central station device being used.

Regulatory Classification

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.

#### 2. General Information

## Trade/Proprietary Name

There is no trade/ proprietary name that will be associated with this technology change. Marquette will refer to it as wireless LAN (Local Area Network) - wireless Ethernet.

## Common/Usual Name

This device is commonly known as wireless networking.

## Device Classification

The wireless LAN technology change may be used with devices which are Class III, therefore, it will remain in Class III. The modified device that is the subject of this 510(k) submission is a Class III device.

## Performance Standards

Peformance standards (Section 514 of the Act) have not yet been established for the device that is the subject of this premarket notification submission.

### Legally Marketed Predicate Device(s) 3.

The device chosen to be used to demonstrate SE for the wireless LAN capability was the Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor. Support testing compared the Eagle 4000 using wired LAN to the Eagle 4000 using wireless LAN. Its 510(k) equivalency references include the following:

### 4. Device Description

The Marquette Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor is a multi-parameter patient monitoring system that is cleared to market as part of Marquette's wired Unity network. The Marquette Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor is now indicated for use on Marquette's wireless LAN.

Wireless LAN is a method of communicating to the Marquette Unity Network using a wireless connection. This capability:

~provides identical networking function to standard Ethernet; ~permits integration to the network without physical connection to the Ethernet wall plate.

### 5. Intended Use

This device is viewed as a technology change and can be used with various other Marquette devices. Marquette has clearances for various patient monitors and its central station which are part of its wired Unity network. The intended patient population is limited to the same population as the device that the technology is being used with.

This device is intended to be used within the hospital / facility environment.

### 6. Brief Description of Testing & Conclusion

The Wireless LAN device when used in conjunction with the patient monitor meets the safety requirements of IEC 601-1-1. It also meets the requirements of IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz (IEEE C95.1-1991) and has the appropriate FCC certification. Electromagnetic compatibility testing demonstrates that the device meets the reauirements of CISPR 1 1 Class A for both radiated and conducted emissions. Immunity testing demonstrates that the device meets the requirements of the IEC 1000-4 series and MIL-STD 462D.

Verification and validation testing was done on the wireless LAN in use with the Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor. Test results indicate that the Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor with wireless LAN provides an equivalent level in performance, when compared to the Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor with wired LAN, when tested to the accuracy requirements as specified in the contents of the premarket notification submission.

Marquette Medical Systems has demonstrated that use of the wireless LAN capability in its devices is as safe and effective, and performs substantially equivalent to use of the wired LAN in its devices.
