The summary describes a telemedicine communication module that collects and forwards data from peripheral medical devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data processing beyond simple forwarding.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "monitoring device" and a "Telemedicine Communications Module" that collects and forwards data from peripheral medical devices. It does not exert any direct therapeutic action on the patient.
No
The device is described as a "monitoring device" and a "Telemedicine Communications Module" that collects data from peripheral devices and forwards it to healthcare professionals. It does not perform analysis or interpretation of the data to arrive at a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses a "custom PC platform for its patient station (NX Monitoring Station)" and connects to "stand-alone medical device peripherals" using wireless technology. This indicates the system includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the NX System 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.
- NX System Function: The NX System is described as a "Telemedicine Communications Module" and a "monitoring device." Its primary function is to collect data from peripheral medical devices (blood pressure, pulse, weight, oxygen saturation, glucose, PT/INR) and transmit that data to a healthcare professional.
- No Sample Analysis: The NX System itself does not perform any analysis on biological samples. It simply acts as a data aggregator and communication hub for other devices that may or may not be IVDs (e.g., a glucose meter is an IVD, but a blood pressure monitor is not).
- Intended Use: The intended use is for monitoring and data transmission, not for performing diagnostic tests on patient samples.
Therefore, the NX System falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NX System is intended to be used as a monitoring device when time-critical care is not required. The peripheral devices compatible with the NX System are blood pressure, pulse, weight, oxygen saturation, glucose and PT/INR. The NX System enables the home-bound patient to retrieve data taken by the peripheral devices and forward them to an off-site central location for access by a health care professional.

§ 870.2910 Radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver.
(a)
Identification. A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Substantial Equivalence
The NX System and the predicate device (Aviva 200 System) listed above have the same intended use and very similar principles of operation and technological characteristics. These systems are intended for use as monitoring devices, whereby results from medical devices can be obtained by the NX System and forwarded to the Data Server/Web Server over the Internet. The NX System has no internal medical devices. Communicating through its standard interface ports using radio waves, the NX System can wirelessly connect to devices for measuring blood pressure, pulse, weight, oxygen saturation, glucose and PT/INR. These devices function independently in accordance with their own individual specifications and operation. None of the systems are intended to be used for diagnostic purposes.
In general, basic operation for both systems consists of: (1) obtaining readings for medical device peripherals and (2) forwarding those data to the system's Server.
The only difference from the predicate Aviva 200 System is that the NX System uses a custom PC platform for its patient station (NX Monitoring Station) instead of an off-the-shelf PC and the NX System has more interface options to stand-alone medical device peripherals. Further, the NX system uses wireless technology to connect to the stand-alone medical devices.
These minor variations to the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Abbruscato:
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.
