Intended Use
The VISICU ARGUS System is intended for use in data collection, storage and clinical information management with independent bedside devices, and ancillary systems that are connected either directly or through networks. The VISICU ARGUS System is intended to provide patient information and surveillance of monitored patients at the point of care location and at a remote supplementary care location through wide area networking technology and dedicated telephone lines. The VISICU ARGUS System is solely intended for use in a hospital environment. It is not intended to be used in a home environment.

No
The summary describes a data collection, storage, and information management system, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as a system for data collection, storage, and clinical information management, along with patient information and surveillance. It does not perform any therapeutic intervention or treatment.

No
The device is described as a system for data collection, storage, and clinical information management, providing patient information and surveillance. It does not state that it performs diagnosis or provides diagnostic results.

No

The description focuses on data collection, storage, and clinical information management from independent bedside devices and ancillary systems, implying interaction with and reliance on hardware components beyond just software. The lack of a "Device Description" section prevents a definitive confirmation of software-only status.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes data collection, storage, and clinical information management from independent bedside devices and ancillary systems. It focuses on providing patient information and surveillance. This is characteristic of a clinical information system or patient monitoring system, not a device that performs tests on biological samples in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests, or providing diagnostic results based on such analysis.
  • Device Description (Not Found): While the description is missing, the intended use is the primary indicator for IVD classification.
  • Other Sections: The absence of information about image processing, AI/ML, imaging modality, anatomical site, patient age range, training/test sets, performance studies, and key metrics further supports that this is not an IVD. These sections are often relevant for devices that perform diagnostic analysis, especially those involving imaging or AI.

In summary, the VISICU ARGUS System's intended use clearly places it in the category of a clinical information and patient surveillance system, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Ms. Spurner:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulters to a

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affective your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food sod. Dreng Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with t ood and regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your announcements tontification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 522 of the
