Biobeat BB-613WP (Chest-monitor)

Description:

The Biobeat BB-613WP (Chest-monitor) is a dual monitor for blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements and information regarding the accuracy of its oxygen saturation measurement technology does not appear to be available. Blood pressure measurements and oxygen saturation measurements are taken from the chest. It is intended for ambulatory monitoring.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Biobeat BB-613WP (Chest-monitor), to measure blood pressure, has been declared as being substantially equivalent to that used in another device, according to 510(k), but this is not compliant with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4. There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Biobeat BB-613WP (Chest-monitor) to measure peripheral oxygen saturation.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BP	Medaval	None	Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements.

Validation Publications for Equivalent Devices:

Note: This is a provisional list, as equivalence according to EU Regulation 2017/745 (e.g. MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4) is not proven. Accordingly, these publications are not used in the assessment of star-ratings.
