Movano Health On Track to File First FDA Submission for its Smart Ring's SpO2 and Heart Rate Data Following Successful Pivotal Hypoxia Trial
Movano Health (NASDAQ: MOVE) announced promising preliminary results from its pivotal hypoxia trial, demonstrating a 2% margin of error for blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and a heart rate error of 2 BPM. Both metrics exceeded FDA standards, indicating high accuracy. The trial involved 11 subjects and followed an FDA-required protocol. Movano plans to file for FDA clearance in 2023. CEO John Mastrototaro emphasized the importance of developing wearable devices that empower consumers with reliable health data.

- Successful trial involved 11 subjects and demonstrated device accuracy across varying oxygen saturation levels.
- Plans to file for FDA clearance in 2023 for its smart ring metrics.
- None.
Preliminary results demonstrated high accuracy of SpO2 and heart rate data in its pivotal hypoxia trial, bringing the Company one step closer to developing a medical device
PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Movano Health (NASDAQ:MOVE), a purpose-driven healthcare solutions company at the intersection of medical and consumer devices, today announces successful preliminary results of its pivotal hypoxia trial, which was completed in conjunction with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to assess the accuracy of its smart ring's blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate data. In comparing the overall accuracy of the ring's data with data from the study's reference devices, Movano Health's ring resulted in an approximate
Following a successful pilot study in July 2022, the latest study used the same protocol required by the FDA for the submission and involved 11 subjects of mixed genders and ethnicities. The participants, the majority of whom were between IV-VI, the darker skin tones on the Fitzpatrick scale, each wore a ring prototype, a Movano Health fingertip device and two reference devices. Within a controlled environment, each participant's oxygen levels were driven down to as low as 70 percent and then back up to 100 percent to test the accuracy of Movano Health's devices over the entire range of oxygen saturation including normal, mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. Movano Health device data was compared and validated by arterial blood gas data.
"Our company is deeply committed to developing wearable devices that go beyond the status quo and give all consumers, regardless of gender and ethnicity, a higher level of confidence and trust in their health data. FDA approval remains one of the top priorities for our smart ring and the outstanding preliminary results we received from our pivotal study are extremely exciting," said John Mastrototaro, CEO of Movano Health. "Clearance of a wearable device requires extensive investment in research and development, and it has been a central goal of ours since the beginning. Providing medical-grade heart rate and SpO2 data in the future will position us to help users better predict, prevent and understand health issues."
