Intended Use
The TM2000 EasyTrace Plus Transtelephonic Receiving Center system is intended to support a remote monitoring, i.e. receiving, storing, displaying, measuring, updating, printing and re-transmitting of patient ECG and Spirometric parameters and other relevant data. The TM2000 EasyTrace Plus Telemedicine Receiving Center is intended for supporting transtelephonic monitoring of Electrocardiography (ECG) and Spirometric parameters of patients.
Device Description
The TM2000 EasyTrace Plus Transtelephonic Receiving Center system comprises a receiver, a PC with associated equipment, and a package of software tools.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for receiving, storing, and displaying patient data, without mentioning any analytical or interpretive functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as a "Receiving Center system" intended for remote monitoring, receiving, storing, displaying, measuring, updating, printing, and re-transmitting patient parameters. This functionality is for monitoring and data management, and does not directly provide therapy to a patient.

No
The device is intended for "receiving, storing, displaying, measuring, updating, printing and re-transmitting of patient ECG and Spirometric parameters and other relevant data." It does not state that it analyzes this data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system comprises a receiver, a PC with associated equipment, and a package of software tools, indicating hardware components are included.

Based on the provided information, the TM2000 EasyTrace Plus Transtelephonic Receiving Center system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for receiving, storing, displaying, measuring, updating, printing, and re-transmitting patient ECG and Spirometric parameters. These are physiological measurements taken directly from the patient, not tests performed on samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device description mentions a receiver, PC, and software, which are consistent with a system for handling and processing physiological data.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples or detecting substances within those samples, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The TM2000 system deals with electrical signals (ECG) and airflow measurements (Spirometry) directly from the patient.

Dear Mr. Gonorovsky:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 30, 2001, regarding the indications for use statement.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
