Indications for Use
The Heart Seat is a replacement for a standard toilet seat that is indicated for use in a home environment. The Heart Seat is intended to be used for measuring, displaying, reviewing and storing non-invasive functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) in adults of at least 22 years of age with weight ranging from 90 to 350 pounds. Data from the Heart Seat are collected whenever the seat is used and are automatically uploaded to the Casana Cloud where they can be viewed by the healthcare provider. The Heart Seat is not intended for continuous monitoring.
Device Story
The Heart Seat is a prescription-use toilet seat integrated with physiological sensors for home monitoring. It captures SpO2 via photoplethysmography (PPG) and heart rate via single-lead ECG from the user's thighs while seated. Data are automatically uploaded via WiFi to the Casana Cloud. A biometric identification (BioID) algorithm identifies the specific user. Clinical users access the cloud-based application to review measurements, supporting patient management. The device provides a non-invasive, passive method for routine physiological data collection, benefiting patients by enabling remote monitoring without active intervention. It is not intended for continuous monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Heart Rate validation (n=117, 349 pairs) showed 348/349 points met accuracy criteria (±5 bpm or 10%) vs 3-lead ECG. SpO2 validation (n=13) per ISO 80601-2-61 showed ARMS of 2.7% (70-100% range). BioID algorithm validation (n=125) showed mean False Match Rate (FMR) of 0.7% (95% CI: 0.89%) and mean False Negative Match Rate (FNMR) of 15.3% (95% CI: 20.47%).
Technological Characteristics
Toilet seat form factor; PPG for SpO2; single-lead ECG for HR; thigh measurement site. Connectivity: WiFi to cloud. Standards: ISO 80601-2-61, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-1-2, ANSI AAMI EC57, IEC 60601-2-27. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Software: Moderate level of concern.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults >= 22 years, 90-350 lbs, in home environments for non-invasive measurement, display, review, and storage of SpO2 and heart rate. Not for continuous monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

## Animal Testing
Not applicable. Animal studies are not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device.
# Clinical Data
Casana conducted a Heart Rate Validation study in 117 healthy subjects comparing Heart Rate measurements reported by the Heart Seat to those obtained from a 3-lead ECG device. A total of 349 heart rate measurement pairs were collected, and 348/349 data points over the range of 40 to 103 bpm meet the Pass/Fail criteria of an Absolute Accuracy < 5 bpm or 10% (whichever is greater) when compared to both the reference average and the reference median. Subgroup analyses based on subject sex and aged (the two variables that might impact the results) showed no meaningful difference in performance.
Casana conducted an SpO2 Clinical Validation study in accordance with the FDA Pulse Oximeter Guidance Document and the FDA recognized standard ISO 80601-2-61:2017 under steady state no-motion conditions. Thirteen subjects provided data for the final analysis, three of whom had Fitzpatrick VI skin tone. The study met the acceptance criteria with an ARMS of 2.7 over the range of 70-100%.
Casana conducted a BioID Validation study to demonstrate that the biometric identification algorithm used by the Heart Seat is capable of identifying someone using the seat as the desired/designated user with sufficiently high accuracy without missing too many of that desired/designated user's recordings. The study enrolled 125 subjects with a range of ages, BMI, and skin tone intended to represent the intended users. The study met both primary endpoints:
- The overall mean False Match Rate (FMR) was 0.7% with an upper 95% CI of 0.89%. ● The FMR is the % of total number of sit recordings (true nonmatches) where the nondesignated user is incorrectly IDed as the designated user.
- . The overall mean FNMR (False Negative Match Rate) was 15.3% with an upper 95% CI of 20.47%. The FNMR is the % of total number of sit recordings where the designated user is incorrectly IDed as a non-designated user.
#### CONCLUSION 8.
Based on the detailed comparison of the intended use, indications for use, and specifications for the predicate Vitals360® Multi-Vitals Mobile Monitor (K210086), the performance testing, conformance with applicable standards, clinical testing and software verification testing, the Heart Seat can be found substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
