The summary describes a data logger and software for collecting and displaying physiological and behavioral metrics. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis, interpretation, or prediction based on the collected data. The performance metrics relate to the accuracy of data detection and identification, not the performance of an AI/ML model.
No
The device is described as a data-logger for recording physiological and behavioral metrics for clinical and research applications, not for treating or preventing any condition.
No
The device collects physiological and behavioral metrics, but its intended use is for data collection in clinical and research applications, not specifically for diagnosing a disease or condition. It monitors heart rate, activity, body angle, and patient-logged events, which are quantitative analyses, not a diagnostic determination.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of three main subsystems: the ingestion event marker (IEM), the data recorder (Patch), and the Proteus software. The IEM and Patch are described as hardware components (wearable sensor, ingestible marker) that collect and transmit data, making this a hardware and software system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Proteus Personal Monitor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
- Proteus Personal Monitor Function: The Proteus Personal Monitor is a wearable device that collects physiological and behavioral data from the body (heart rate, activity, body angle) and receives a signal from an ingested marker within the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body in a laboratory setting.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "ambulatory recording of heart rate, activity, body angle relative to gravity, and time-stamped, patient-logged events, including events signaled by swallowing the Ingestion Event Marker (IEM) accessory." This describes data collection and monitoring in vivo, not in vitro analysis of samples.
- Device Description: The description details a body-worn sensor and an ingestible marker that communicates within the body. This aligns with in vivo data collection.
The device is a data logger and monitoring system that works on and within the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Proteus Personal Monitor is a miniaturized, wearable data-logger for ambulatory recording of heart rate, activity, body angle relative to gravity, and time-stamped, patientlogged events, including events signaled by swallowing the Ingestion Event Marker (IEM) accessory. The Proteus Personal Monitor enables unattended data collection for clinical and research applications. The Proteus Personal Monitor may be used in any instance where quantiffable analysis of event-associated heart rate, activity, and body position is desirable.

Device Description
The Proteus Personal Monitor, also called the "Patch", is a body-worn sensor that collects physiological and behavioral metrics including heart rate, activity, body angle and time-stamped user-logged events generated when a user marks an event by swallowing an Ingestion Event Marker (IEM) or by manually pressing an event marker button on the Patch. The Patch stores and wirelessly sends the IEM data to a general computing device.
The Proteus Personal Monitor Ingestion Event Marker system is comprised of three main subsystems; (1) the ingestion event marker (IEM), (2) the data recorder (Patch), and (3) the Proteus software.
-
Ingestion Event Marker (IEM)
The grain-of-sand sized IEM is designed to communicate the time-stamped confirmation of IEM device ingestion as a unique identifier to the Proteus Personal Monitor worn on the skin. The ingestion signal is communicated via volume conduction communication also known as intrabody communication. The IEM is attached to an inert pharmaceutical excipient tablet for ease of handling and swallowability. -
Proteus Personal Monitor (Patch)
The Proteus Personal Monitor (Patch) receives, stores, and wirelessly sends ingestion confirmation data to a general computing device. -
Software
The Proteus software is used to pair the Patch with a mobile computing device. The software organizes and displays ingestion events.

The PPM is a small, wearable sensor that is placed on the skin. The IEM is a small, ingestible sensor that is swallowed. The IEM sends a signal to the PPM when it is ingested. The PPM then records the time and date of ingestion.

SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL/BENCH STUDIES
BIOCOMPATIBILITY/MATERIALS (IEM)
The petitioner conducted a series of tests to demonstrate that the patient-contacting components of the Proteus Personal Monitor demonstrated acceptable performance for its intended purpose, which included the tests indicated below.

IN VIVO STUDIES
The petitioner also performed forty-two (42) in-vivo studies, including rodent, canine and porcine models, to characterize device performance and safety. Porcine and canine animal models are frequently used in gastrointestinal (GI) device testing, and were chosen because of the similarities of their GI anatomy to that of a human. Efforts were made to include a wide range of body size in the non-clinical experiments, with body weight ranging from 25 to 95 kg. The purpose of this inclusion criterion is to provide an opportunity to investigate the potential effects of body size on the performance of the system. Canine testing was also performed to validate that device egestion occurred as well as additional rodent testing and literature review to assess toxicology of materials. A summary of the studies conducted are provided in Table 2.

|---|---|---|
| Mechanical safety | Excretion and GI injury studies in canines | Ingested IEMs reliably excreted |

| (equivalent to 30,000 IEMs/day), based | ||

| serum chemistries and histopathology. | ||
| Canine oral toxicology study | No evidence of IEM toxicity, based upon | |
| clinical observations and GI tract | ||
| histopathology. No changes in blood | ||
| levels of IEM inorganic materials | ||
| following exposure. | ||
| Rodent oral toxicology study | No evidence of IEM toxicity—even in | |
| highest dosing group, which received the | ||
| weight-adjusted equivalent of 30,000 | ||
| IEMs/day—based upon clinical | ||

| simultaneously, daily) poses no risk of | ||
| systemic toxicity, but transient, non- | ||
| systemic gastric upset could result at this | ||
| dose. This concentration dependent effect |
