Intended Use

The Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability (AHI) software is intended for use by healthcare professionals managing in-hospital patients 18 years or older who are receiving continuous physiological monitoring with electrocardiography (ECG). AHI provides a frequently updated binary output over time based on pattern analysis of a lead-II ECG waveform indicating hemodynamic stability or instability.

Technology

AHI is a software as a medical device (SaMD) that analyzes 5-minute rolling windows of Lead-II ECG data to detect combinations of heart rate ≥ 100 bpm and systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure < 70 mmHg indicating hemodynamic instability. The system normalizes inputs, assesses signal quality, and outputs classification every 2 minutes.

Performance

Clinical validation showed a sensitivity of 95.6% and specificity of 84.9% for detecting hemodynamic instability using ECG and invasive arterial line blood pressure monitoring on 222 critical care patients. The device demonstrated a high negative predictive value and met pre-specified acceptance criteria. Usability studies confirmed safe interpretation, and software validation included unit, integration, and system testing. The device is intended as adjunctive monitoring and not to independently direct therapy.
