Intended Use
Browser is a software program that is used by a HCP (Healthcare Professional) to view, analyze, and edit patient data gathered with a SmartMonitor® Infant Apnea Monitor. Information that is collected includes patient information, equipment parameters, compliance logs, patient events, equipment events, and waveforms. The data is downloaded to a PC, either by direct connection to the monitor or by modem. The data can also be retrieved from a computer file or memory disk such as a floppy or card. The software allows the user to review and manipulate event information, produce reports, save changes, and forward data via e-mail.
Device Story
Browser is a Windows 95-based software application for reviewing physiological data recorded by the SmartMonitor Infant Apnea Monitor. Data inputs include patient information, equipment parameters, compliance logs, event logs (apnea, bradycardia, tachycardia, oxygen desaturation), and waveforms, transferred via direct cable, modem, or storage media (floppy/card). The software enables healthcare professionals to visualize, analyze, and edit these events and waveforms, generate reports, and transmit data via email. It serves as a clinical tool for reviewing recorded patient data to assist in monitoring infant respiratory status. The device does not perform real-time monitoring but processes stored data for clinical review.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical comparison performed by comparing reports generated by the predicate 9500E software and the Browser software using actual patient data. No further clinical trials reported.
Technological Characteristics
Software application running on Windows 95 platform. Interfaces with SmartMonitor via direct cable, modem, or storage media. Provides data visualization, report generation, and data editing capabilities.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare professionals to view, analyze, and edit patient data (including apnea, bradycardia, tachycardia, and oxygen desaturation events and associated waveforms) collected by the SmartMonitor Infant Apnea Monitor.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.

510(k) Summary. continued:
Browser is a software program which is used by Intended Use: Healthcare Professionals to view, analyze and edit patient data gathered with a SmartMonitor® Infant Apnea Monitor. Comparison of Technological Characteristics: The predecessor to Browser is the Healthdyne Technologies 9500SE software. Since both software packages interface to the SmartMonitor, they both have the same essential user features. Both allow the user to observe physiological events and equipment events and both allow the user to view waveforms associated with events. Browser runs on the Windows 95 platform whereas the 9500E ran on the DOS platform. However, Browser is not a port of the 9500E software to Windows. Browser is a completely new program that shares no source code with the 9500E. The Browser Software Test Plan consisted of system level and module/integration level testing to verify all the defined software requirements. The tests utilized actual patient data as well as simulated patient data. A clinical comparison of actual patient data was
performed by comparing reports generated by the predicate 9500E software and the Browser software.
The cumulative test results demonstrated the functionality and safety and effectiveness of the Browser software, as well as its substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
