The description focuses on data management, storage, display, and basic reporting functionalities. There is no mention of algorithms that learn from data or perform complex analysis beyond organizing and presenting information. The term "decision support tool" is used, but the context suggests it's based on presenting organized data, not on AI/ML-driven insights.
No.
This device is described as an Obstetrical Patient Data Management System that records, stores, and displays data from fetal and maternal monitors, and manages patient information. It functions as a decision support tool and electronic medical record. There is no indication that it directly treats or intervenes with a medical condition, which would make it a therapeutic device.
Yes
The device records, stores, and displays data from fetal monitors and maternal vital signs monitors, and manages patient information. It organizes clinical data and serves as a decision support tool, which are all functions of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly mentions interaction with the system utilizing a light pen or mouse, and storage using WORM technology, indicating hardware components are part of the system.
Based on the provided information, the WatchChild™ Obstetrical Patient Data Management System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- WatchChild™ Function: The WatchChild™ system primarily focuses on managing and displaying data from external medical devices (fetal monitors and maternal vital signs monitors) and organizing patient information. It acts as a data management system, electronic medical record, and decision support tool.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the WatchChild™ system analyzing any biological specimens. Its inputs are data streams from other devices and user input for patient information.
Therefore, the WatchChild™ system falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
