What is Respiratory Rate Monitor Clinical Validation Testing at Element?

Clinical validation testing verifies respiratory monitoring device accuracy in human subjects under controlled conditions. Testing evaluates performance across breathing rates from 5-50 breaths per minute, providing medical device manufacturers and technology companies with the precise data needed for regulatory compliance. Simulators may not be used to evaluate accuracy in respiratory rate monitoring devices, as human testing is essential for accurate validation.

What Can Element Offer You For Respiratory Rate Monitor Clinical Validation Testing?

Products we test

At Element, we monitor validation spans critical care equipment, medical-grade monitors, wearable sensors, and smart devices integrated into healthcare settings. Each device undergoes rigorous testing across varied demographics and conditions, from routine health physicals to surgery and critical care environments. Our testing validates both standalone monitors and integrated respiratory monitoring systems.

Key tests offered

We evaluate respiratory rate accuracy in controlled conditions across breathing rates typically from 5-50 breaths per minute, significantly outside the normal resting respiratory rate of around 12-16 breaths per minute. Respiratory rates will be measured simultaneously with an EtCO2 reference device and the sponsor device being tested. Our approach tests for accuracy in both healthy populations and patients with various comorbidities.

Methods and solutions offered

Element handles the entire validation process, including protocol design, IRB submission, participant recruitment and payment, study execution, data analysis, and regulatory-ready data packages. 

We evaluate respiratory rate accuracy in controlled conditions across a range of rates (typically 5-50 breaths per minute) and diverse demographics, including individuals with COPD, asthma, and healthy volunteers of various ages, body types, and pigmentation. Data is collected at 100Hz, with scored waveforms and raw data provided upon request.

Cutting edge equipment

Our facilities utilize advanced respiratory monitoring reference equipment including precision EtCO2 monitors as validation references. We employ high-resolution data acquisition systems that collect data at 100Hz, ensuring the detailed waveform analysis required for regulatory submissions. Our equipment allows for simultaneous measurement with both reference and test devices across variable respiratory rates and conditions.
