Intended Use
The SmartLink Wireless system's primary function is to transfer 12 lead and other vital signs data from a Welch Allyn PIC50 Defibrillator/Monitor at a remote location to a personal computer station, and to display the data on the computer's monitor. The data is intended to be used by Emergency Room staff for patient assessment prior to arrival of the patient at the Emergency Room, in order to reduce the delay in treating the patient upon arrival. The SmartLink Wireless system can be used to: - Provide users of Welch Allyn PIC 50 products in the field the capability of transmitting patient vitals using wireless technology to a remote location. At the remote location the information will be used for diagnostic purposes by trained medical personnel. Patient's vitals may include 12 lead data, IBP, NIBP, ETCO2, Respiratory rate, Heart rate, Temperature, SPO2, and optional single lead ECG snapshot. - Send automatic pager notification when a new patient record is received at the personal computer station. - Forward the patient data to any number of e-mail address at remote computers or personal digital assistants. The SmartLink Wireless system is not intended to be used as a primary alarm source. Patient information received by the SmartLink Wireless system should not be examined for the purpose of generating alarms.

No
The description focuses on data transfer and display, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device transmits and displays patient vital signs data for assessment, which is diagnostic, not therapeutic. It does not provide treatment or therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device transfers vital signs data, including 12 lead data, for "diagnostic purposes by trained medical personnel" prior to a patient's arrival at the Emergency Room. This indicates its use in aiding diagnosis.

No

The device description is not provided, but the intended use clearly describes a system that transfers data from a physical medical device (Welch Allyn PIC50 Defibrillator/Monitor) and displays it on a computer. This implies a system that includes both software and hardware components for data transfer and display, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the SmartLink Wireless 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 SmartLink Wireless system's intended use is to transfer and display patient vital signs data (ECG, blood pressure, etc.) collected directly from the patient by a medical device (the defibrillator/monitor). It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • The system's function is data transfer and display, not laboratory analysis. While the data is used for diagnostic purposes by medical personnel, the SmartLink system itself is a communication and display tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the SmartLink Wireless system falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SmartLink Wireless system's primary function is to transfer 12 Inaleations nd other vital signs data from a Welch Allyn PIC50 Defibrillator/Monitor at a remote location to a personal computer station, and to display the data on the computer's monitor. The data is intended to be used by Emergency Room staff for the bempater & matient assessment prior to arrival of the patient at the Emergency Room, in order to reduce the delay in treating the patient upon arrival.

The SmartLink Wireless system can be used to:

§ 870.5310 Automated external defibrillator system.

(a)
Identification. An automated external defibrillator (AED) system consists of an AED and those accessories necessary for the AED to detect and interpret an electrocardiogram and deliver an electrical shock (e.g., battery, pad electrode, adapter, and hardware key for pediatric use). An AED system analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram, interprets the cardiac rhythm, and automatically delivers an electrical shock (fully automated AED), or advises the user to deliver the shock (semi-automated or shock advisory AED) to treat ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.(b)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval)(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. A PMA will be required to be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration by April 29, 2015, for any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, by April 29, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any AED accessory described in paragraph (a) that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other AED and AED accessory described in paragraph (a), shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

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 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.
