No
The summary describes a system for remotely viewing physiological data from bedside monitors. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies for data analysis, interpretation, or prediction. The focus is on data transmission and display.
No.
The device is a patient viewer that provides a remote view of physiological parameter data and is explicitly stated as "NOT intended for primary monitoring" and "NOT a patient monitoring device," indicating it does not provide therapy or directly monitor for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is a patient viewer that provides a remote view of physiological parameter data and graphical trends. It is explicitly stated that it is "NOT intended for primary monitoring" and "is NOT a patient monitoring device," and clinicians are instructed to reference the primary bedside monitor for patient care decisions. This indicates it is for secondary information display rather than for diagnosing conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system "consists of a 1U Rack Mountable Server with server and client software packages." This indicates the device includes dedicated hardware (the server) in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, the Unity® IS Patient Viewer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.
- Intended Use of the Unity® IS Patient Viewer: The intended use is to provide a remote view of physiological parameter data from bedside monitors. This data is collected in vivo (from the living patient), not from in vitro specimens.
- Device Description: The device description explicitly states that it provides remote access to waveform, parameter data, and trend data relayed from patient monitors. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples.
The Unity® IS Patient Viewer is a system for displaying and accessing patient monitoring data, which is a different category of medical device than an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Unity® IS Patient Viewer is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the Unity® IS Patient Viewer is to provide a remote view of physiological parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients within a hospital or facility providing patient care. The Unity® IS Patient Viewer is NOT intended for primary monitoring but is to be used in conjunction with the bedside monitor.
The Unity® IS Patient Viewer is intended to provide near-real-time physiological data and graphical trends for all monitors connected to the Unity Network to secure nurse and physician personal computers (local and remote).

Device Description
The Unity® IS Patient Viewer provides remote access to waveform, parameter data and trend data at a web browser on a standard personal computer. The server resides on the hospital's intranet and remote access is gained through secured access to the hospital intranet. The data relayed from the patient monitors over the Unity® MC network includes patient name, unit and bed name, parameter data, and waveform data monitored by the bedside monitors. The user can view up to nine waveforms from the Unity® MC network as well as the parameter information in near real-time. Neither alarm messages nor parameter status messages are displayed. The Unity® IS Patient Viewer system provides a secondary view of patient information, and is NOT a patient monitoring device. The clinician is instructed to always reference the primary bedside monitor before making any patient care decisions. In the event that data is not available via the Unity® IS Patient Viewer, the clinician is instructed to obtain the data from the primary bedside monitor.
The Unity® IS Patient Viewer system consists of a 1U Rack Mountable Server with server and client software packages.
The two software pieces reside on the 1U Rack Mountable Server, which is a standard hardware server platform for hosting network applications. The hardware server is connected to two networks: Unity® Network and the hospital's Intranet. The Unity® Network is a currently marketed proprietary network connecting patient monitors. The hospital's Intranet refers to the existing Local Area Network (LAN) within the hospital that connects a number of personal computers (PCs).

§ 870.2300 Cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm).
(a)
Identification. A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Webb:
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.
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.
