Intended Use
The Unity Network ID is 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

Not Found

No
The summary describes a data networking and conversion device. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on data transmission and protocol conversion.

No
The device is described as a system for data collection and clinical information management, specifically for communicating patient data among various medical devices and information systems. It is explicitly stated that it is "not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices," which indicates it does not directly treat or diagnose patients.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a data collection and management system that communicates patient data. It is explicitly stated that it is "not intended for monitoring purposes" and "not intended to control any of the clinical devices." This indicates it processes existing data rather than generating new diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports and converts it, indicating the presence of hardware components (serial ports and conversion circuitry) in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "data collection and clinical information management through networks with independent bedside devices." It explicitly states it's "not intended for monitoring purposes." IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not perform such examinations.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on acquiring and transmitting digital data from other devices. It doesn't mention analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The device appears to be a data networking and management system for clinical information, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Unity Network ID complies with the voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9 of this submission. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system:

  • Risk Analysis.
  • Requirements Reviews.
  • Design Reviews
  • Testing on unit level (Module verification).
  • Integration testing (System verification)
  • Final acceptance testing (Validation)
  • Performance testing
  • Safety testing.
  • Environmental testing.
    The results of these measurements demonstrated that the Unity Network ID is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.

§ 870.2300 Cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm).

(a)
Identification. A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Thorson:

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 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
