No
The description focuses on data collection, translation, and display from existing medical devices using standard communication protocols. There is no mention of algorithms that learn or make predictions based on data.
No.
The device is a software development kit designed to collect and integrate data from diagnostic instruments into a Computerized Patient Record system; it does not provide any therapeutic function.
No
The device is a software development kit (SDK) that communicates with and collects data from diagnostic instruments. It is not a diagnostic device itself; rather, it facilitates the transfer and display of data from existing diagnostic instruments to a Computerized Patient Record (CPR) system.
Yes
The device description explicitly states, "The Welch Allyn Vitals Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is strictly a software product." While it interacts with hardware (diagnostic instruments and PCs), the SDK itself is presented as a software-only component.
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 taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Vitals Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is described as software that collects and displays data from diagnostic instruments (like the VSM 5200 and SPOT 4200 series medical devices). It then sends this data to a Computerized Patient Record (CPR) system.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The SDK itself does not perform any analysis on biological samples. It is a data collection, communication, and display tool for data generated by other diagnostic devices.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to integrate with CPR systems to manage data from diagnostic instruments, not to perform diagnostic tests on patient samples.
The SDK facilitates the use of diagnostic instruments and the management of the data they produce, but it is not a diagnostic test itself.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Vitals Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software product that will be licensed to Computerized Patient Record (CPR) manufacturers who will integrate it with and sell it as part of their CPR system. The SDK is designed to communicate with and collect data from diagnostic instruments using an instrument specific interface that is compatible with the instrument's existing communications capability. Existing instruments will not have to be changed. The data that is collected will be displayed for the user to verify before it is sent to the CPR where it is saved as part of the CPR's database.
For access by the CPR, the data is translated from its original form into industry standard software object form (XML, Active X, COM). The SDK also provides sample program software that demonstrates how to display the data in the appropriate form.
The SDK is required for both the collection and the retrieval/review of data. The SDK will also provide the necessary set-up or configuration guidelines and help files that will allow the user to designate which instruments are connected to a personal computer (PC) at a specific location.

Device Description
The Welch Allyn Vitals Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is strictly a software product. It is designed to work with Microsoft Window 98, NT, 2000 and XP. It communicates with the VSM 5200 series and the SPOT 4200 series medical devices via an RS232 cable in one configuration and an Infrared dongle in the other both are standard synchronous RS-232 serial interfaces.
Once integrated with a third-party computerized patient record, the SDK will provide the CPR the ability to request, receive and parse alphanumeric observational data, and error messages from these medical devices. It will provide the user with the ability to configure to a single device. It will also display information to the user, using and ActiveX display control, in a manner that is consistent with the medical device used to capture the data.

Safety
Due to the fact this is a software device, it is considered very safe for both practitioner and patient. The device is non-contact, its operational technique is low risk, and it only collects and displays data. The SDK is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device.
Therefore, typical safety areas are not applicable (e.g., electrical and mechanical, biocompatibility, corrosion, explosion, temperature, and fire). However, the software has undergone or will undergo the following reviews.

Dear Mr. Klementowski:
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 - Mr. David Klementowski
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
