Intended Use
The Solar® 9500 Information Monitoring System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the system is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients, in high acuity areas such as operating room (OR), post anesthesia recovery (PARR), critical care, surgical intensive care, respiratory intensive care, coronary care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care. Physiologic data includes electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide, oxygen, anesthetic gas concentrations and mixed venous oxygen saturation, as summarized in the Solar® 9500 Operator's Manual. The Solar® 9500 Information Monitoring System is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity network to clinical information systems and allow the user to access hospital INTRAnet data via a Web Browser at the point-of-care. This information can be displayed, trended, stored, and printed.
Device Description
The Solar 9500 is a patient monitoring system that is designed to display patient physiological data that is received from the GE Medical Systems' Tram-net network and individual and multi-parameter data acquisition modules. The Solar 9500 Information Monitoring System is comprised of four basic components: the processing unit, color display, Tram modules(s), and Tram-rac housing. Optional components include a remote display. The Solar 9500 utilizes the GE Medical System's Unity Ethernet LAN allowing communication with monitoring, clinical information and cardiology products. An additional Ethernet connection is provided for connection to the hospital Enterprise Network. The Enterprise network connection allows the user access to the hospital INTRAnet, through an embedded Web Browser on the Solar 9500. This web browsing capability enables the user to log on to the hospital INTRAnet directly from the monitor allowing access to information such as patient history, up-to-the-minute lab results and cath reports. Data can also be accessed from non-GE platforms via the Enterprise network. The Solar 9500 system was developed to interface with third party peripheral devices that support serial and/or analog data outputs.
More Information

No
The document describes a patient monitoring system that displays, trends, stores, and prints physiological data. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on data acquisition, display, and networking.

No
The device is described as an "Information Monitoring System" intended to "monitor physiologic parameter data" and display, trend, store, and print this information. It explicitly states its purpose is "patient monitoring" and not to provide therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "Information Monitoring System" intended to "monitor physiologic parameter data" and "provide physiologic data." It collects and displays data but does not interpret or diagnose conditions based on that data. The emphasis is on data monitoring and display, not diagnostic conclusions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Solar 9500 Information Monitoring System is comprised of four basic components: the processing unit, color display, Tram modules(s), and Tram-rac housing, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, the Solar® 9500 Information Monitoring System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the Solar 9500 focuses on monitoring physiologic parameter data directly from the patient (ECG, blood pressure, temperature, etc.).
  • The intended use and device description clearly state that it monitors and displays real-time physiological data from the patient. It receives data from modules connected to the patient and displays it.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Solar® 9500 Information Monitoring System is a patient monitoring system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Kluessendorf:

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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act 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
