Intended Use
This device is capable of displaying physiological parameters received from INFINITY monitors (SC 7000, SC 8000, SC 9000XL) and visually displaying alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system. The device is intended to be used in the environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals, i.e. physicians, nurses, and technicians, trained on the use of the device, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition. The device is intended for use with the adult, pediatric and neonatal populations.
Device Description
The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation that acts as a display for physiological parameters received from an INFINITY patient monitor (SC 7000/SC 8000/SC 9000XL). Parameters are displayed (audio alarming and flashing visual indications are provided on the INFINITY patient monitor screen). INFINITY EXPLORER utilizes the syngo (510k K010938) software platform and user interface common to other Siemens Medical modalities. INFINITY EXPLORER with syngo software is capable of displaying DICOM images retrieved from a syngo compatible image archive. A Task Card provides access to DICOM images.
More Information

No
The summary describes a critical care workstation that displays physiological parameters and DICOM images. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or other sections. The device appears to be a display and interface system, not one that performs analysis using AI/ML.

No
The device is a display for physiological parameters and DICOM images; it does not directly provide therapy or affect the patient's medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a critical care workstation that displays physiological parameters and DICOM images. While it presents data relevant to patient care, it does not interpret or analyze that data to provide a diagnosis itself. The Healthcare Professionals are stated to be the ones who "determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition." This indicates the device is a tool for data display, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device is described as a "critical care workstation" and mentions utilizing a software platform, but the description implies it is a hardware device that acts as a display and receives data, rather than being purely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device's primary function is to display physiological parameters received from patient monitors and display DICOM images. It acts as a display and workstation for data already acquired from the patient or from imaging systems.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on specimens taken from the patient.

The device is a critical care workstation that integrates and displays data from other medical devices (patient monitors and imaging systems) for use by healthcare professionals in patient care. This falls under the category of medical devices used for monitoring and information display, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Ms. Greco:

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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 such 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.

Page 2 - Ms. Penelope H. Greco

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
