The focus of this study is to demonstrate that DINAMAP® SuperSTATTM NIBP algorithm has been implemented correctly without performance losses to the B40 monitor

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalency of the GE Healthcare B40 Patient Monitor noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) parameter compared to the reference device.

Detailed description

Automated non-invasive blood pressure devices have a long history. These devices first made their appearance in the mid-1970's. Since that time, there have been many improvements in the performance of these devices. Specifically, when making changes to the algorithms that control these devices, the goals are: to improve accuracy and precision in the blood pressure (BP) estimates, to reduce the time needed to determine the BP estimates, to increase comfort for the patient, and to work through artifacts and arrhythmias that are often present in the clinical environment. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalency of the GE Healthcare B40 Patient Monitor noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) parameter compared to the reference device.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Difference Between the B40 Monitor and Reference Device DINAMAP PRO1000 on NIBP MeasurementsEnd of each blood pressure readingThe primary endpoints are the difference in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values between the B40 Monitor and PRO1000. The mean of the difference should be no more than 5mmHg and the standard deviation of the difference should be no more than 8mmHg per the AAMI SP-10 standard.

Outcome results

Primary

Difference Between the B40 Monitor and Reference Device DINAMAP PRO1000 on NIBP Measurements

The primary endpoints are the difference in systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values between the B40 Monitor and PRO1000. The mean of the difference should be no more than 5mmHg and the standard deviation of the difference should be no more than 8mmHg per the AAMI SP-10 standard.

Time frame: End of each blood pressure reading

Population: 66 subjects were enrolled. 64 subjects contributed data to the study. Subject 058 had a lateral difference of the reference diastolic blood pressure more than 10mmHg, and NIBP data was excluded from final analysis as specified in AAMI SP-10 standard. And Subject 046 had circulation issues and no data was collected.

Comparison: A total of no less than 65 subjects are needed for this study. Assuming a mean of no more than 4 mmHg and a standard deviation of no more than 5 mmHg for the difference, this sample size ensures that the percent of subjects with equivalent NIBP is at least 80% with 90% confidence. The difference between the B40 and PRO1000 patient monitors in systolic, diastolic, and mean BP determinations will be compared. A difference of within 10 mmHg is considered equivalent in NIBP.95% CI: [-2.58, -0.22]Compare the mean difference with 5mmHg
