Intended Use
The N2000 Base Station is intended to be used in conjunction with the N2001 Nurse Station to provide two-way video, audio and data communications between the patient and the health care professional. The N2000 Base Station is intended to be used upon prescription of an authorized healthcare provider, by patients where regular monitoring of vital signs information is indicated. The N2000 Base Station is intended to be used as a means to collect and transmit patient vital signs information over standard telephone lines between the patient, typically at home, and a health care professional at the health care provider's site. The information includes: blood pressure, pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose level, temperature, weight, and heart, lung and bowel sounds. The information is collected upon request of the healthcare provider. The device is not indicated for diagnostic purposes. The device does not send any real-time alarms. Clinical judgement and experience are required to check and interpret the information transmitted. The device is not intended as a substitute for medical care. The device is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention.
Device Description
The HomeCare Information Network System (HINS) consists of two components: the N2000 Base Station installed typically in a patient's home; and the N2001 Nurse Station located in the provider or professional caregiver's office. The two components communicate with each other through modems over standard telephone lines and transmit real-time video, audio and data between them. The real-time video and audio communications allow the patient and the caregiver to view and speak with each other. With existing legally marketed vital signs measurement devices integrated with the N2000 Base Station, the N2000 Base Station is designed to monitor the patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose level, temperature, weight and/or heart, lung and bowel sounds, and transmit this data to the N2001 Nurse Station. The real-time data is displayed to the caregiver operating the N2001 Nurse Station and also automatically recorded in a patient information database. The heart, lung and bowel sounds are recorded from the electronic stethoscope supplied with the system. Vital signs measurement devices integrated in the HINS are FDA approved devices and have received 510(k) approval. The N2000 may be configured for use with one to five devices. The N2001 Nurse Station consists of two sub-components, the N2001 Nurse Station PC, which is a standard PC with supporting peripherals, and the N2001 Nurse Station Data Client, which provides the video and audio communications and monitoring functions for the Nurse Station. The N2001 Nurse Station PC can operate as a standalone device for patient data management and record keeping functions.
More Information

No
The description focuses on basic data transmission, communication, and display, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like automated analysis, prediction, or learning.

No.
The device only collects and transmits vital signs information; it is explicitly stated that the "device is not indicated for diagnostic purposes" and "is not intended as a substitute for medical care."

No
The document explicitly states, "The device is not indicated for diagnostic purposes." It is intended for collecting and transmitting vital signs information, not for making diagnoses.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of two components, the N2000 Base Station and the N2001 Nurse Station, which are described as hardware components (PC with peripherals, electronic stethoscope supplied with the system). The system also integrates with existing vital signs measurement devices.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for collecting and transmitting vital signs information and providing two-way communication. It explicitly states, "The device is not indicated for diagnostic purposes."
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the communication capabilities and the integration with existing, legally marketed vital signs measurement devices. It does not describe any components or processes that would involve testing samples from the human body in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices typically involve analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device does not perform such analysis. It collects data from external vital signs monitors and transmits it.

The device functions as a telemedicine system for remote patient monitoring and communication, not as an in vitro diagnostic device.

The Station, which provides the video operate as a standalone device for patient data management and record keeping functions.

Substantial Equivalence

The Neptec Homecare Information Network System (HINS) is substantially quivalent to The Nepleo I romoon over the Electronic HouseCall System (#K000237) by to following products of closens (#K981533) by American Telecare, Inc. In Oybercare, Inc., and the Are Sure Monitor (#K982481) by A & D Engineering, Inc. and the Stethos ™ Electronic Stethoscope (#K001306) by Andromed, Inc. may be used with the system to provide the vital signs monitoring functions.

The HINS and its predicate systems have the same general use to provide the capability for health care professionals to monitor the vitals signs of some of their patients from remote locations.

The main functional differences between the systems are that the predicate devices provide the capability to generate higher resolution images allowing heath care professionals to perform a range of assessment functions including wound care. This feature is not an indicated use for the HINS. The Electronic HouseCall System by Cybercare is also capable of communicating over ISDN, DSL or Internet links in addition to standard telephone lines. These differences, however, are not significant with regard to performance or safety of the vital signs data monitoring and collection functions.
