Intended Use
Indicated for use in data collection and clinical information management through networks with independent bedside devices. The Unity Network ID is not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices (independent bedside devices/ information systems) it is connected to.
Device Description
The Unity Network ID system communicates patient data from sources other than GE Medical Systems Information Technologies equipment to a clinical information system, central station, and/or GE Medical Systems Information Technologies patient monitors. The Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports, converts the data to Unity Network protocols, and transmits the data over the monitoring network to a Unity Network device such as a patient monitor, clinical information system or central station.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data communication and conversion, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like learning, prediction, or complex data analysis beyond simple protocol conversion.

No
The device is described as a system for data collection and clinical information management, specifically for transmitting patient data, and is explicitly stated as "not intended for monitoring purposes," "not intended to control any of the clinical devices." This indicates it does not directly treat, diagnose, or mitigate a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for data collection and clinical information management and is not intended for monitoring purposes. It acquires and transmits patient data but does not interpret or analyze it to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports, converts the data, and transmits it. This indicates the presence of hardware components (serial ports, data conversion hardware) beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "data collection and clinical information management through networks with independent bedside devices." This describes a system for managing and transmitting patient data, not for performing tests on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on acquiring digital data from other devices, converting it to a specific protocol, and transmitting it. It does not mention any interaction with biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing any analytical tests.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of typical IVD activities such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on biological sample analysis.

The device functions as a data communication and management system within a clinical network, which is distinct from the function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Neider:

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 cither 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.
