Intended Use
The Picis Weight Based Dose Converter is designed for use by trained clinicians to calculate any individual patient's dose for a given agent based on a weight based determination by the clinician. Druq dosing for a patient must be made only after careful consideration of the full clinical status of the patient by the ordering clinician and the software provides no validation as to the appropriateness of the entered weight based dose. The Picis Weight Based Dose Converter is not a substitute for clinical reasoning. The Picis Weight Based Dose Converter is a convenience feature for trained clinicians based upon accurately entered data. No medical decision should be based solely upon the results provided by this software program.
Device Story
Software feature integrated into electronic medical record systems; calculates total drug dose based on patient weight and clinician-provided dosage units (e.g., mg/kg). Input: patient weight, numerical dose, units, agent form, route of administration. Operation: simple mathematical multiplication of weight by dose-per-weight factor. Output: total drug dose. Used in hospital settings by trained clinicians. Serves as a convenience tool to reduce manual calculation errors; does not validate clinical appropriateness of dose. Clinical decision-making remains the sole responsibility of the ordering clinician.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of software verification and validation testing to confirm functionality and reliability of the dose calculation feature.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based drug dose conversion feature. Operates as an integrated component of an electronic medical record system. Uses simple mathematical equations for unit conversion. No specific hardware, energy source, or materials of construction defined.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in-hospital patients requiring drug dose calculations based on body weight. Intended for use by trained healthcare professionals. Not for use as a substitute for clinical reasoning or medical decision-making.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A predictive pulmonary-function value calculator is a device used to calculate normal pulmonary-function values based on empirical equations.
