More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard vital signs measurement technologies (oscillometric BP, temperature, SpO2) and manual data entry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts.

No
The device is a vital signs monitor used for measurement and monitoring, not for treating a disease or condition. It is a diagnostic/monitoring device.

Yes

The device measures vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, SpO2), which are crucial physiological indicators used by clinicians to assess a patient's health status, identify potential problems, and monitor the course of an illness. This data collection for clinical assessment falls under the definition of a diagnostic device, even if it doesn't provide a definitive diagnosis on its own.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like an Oscillometric BP Algorithm, temperature technology, a new temperature module (Braun 4000), and a new SpO2 OEM module (Masimo SET). These are physical components, not just software.

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 examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Spot Vital Signs Ultra measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, SpO2). It also allows for manual entry of other patient data.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It measures vital signs on the body.

Therefore, the function and intended use of the Spot Vital Signs Ultra align with a patient monitoring device rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Contraindication For Use of the Device:

SPOT VITAL SIGNS ULTRA IS NOT INTENDED TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE ON NEONATAL PATIENTS. Welch Allyn defines neonates as children 28 days or less of age if born at term (37 weeks gestation or more); otherwise up to 44 gestational weeks. This definition comes from the AAMI SP10:2002 standard.

Spot Vital Signs Ultra is designed for medical clinician use. Although this manual may illustrate medical spot check techniques, only a trained clinician who knows how to take and interpret a patient's vital signs should use this system. Spot Vital Signs Ultra is not intended for use in environments that are without health care practitioner supervision.

Spot Vital Signs Ultra is not intended for continuous monitoring and is therefore not defibrillator proof. Do not leave the device unattended while taking measurements on a patient.

Spot Ultra is not intended for use during the transport of a patient. WARNING: This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide. An explosion may result.

Blood Pressure Warnings

To ensure pediatric blood pressure accuracy and safety, the Small Child Durable One-Piece Cuff (5082-203-4) and the Small Child Disposable One-Piece Cuff (5083-93-4) are the smallest cuffs approved for use with young children and infants. The child's arm must fit within the range markings on the cuff.

You may experience inaccurate blood pressure measurements if cuffs and/or hoses other than those provided for Spot Vital Signs Ultra by Welch Allyn are used. To ensure patient safety, use only accessories and supplies (i.e., cuffs, hoses, temperature probes, SpO2 sensors, etc.) recommended for or supplied with Spot Vital Signs Ultra.

Avoid compression of the cuff tubing or pressure hose of Spot Vital Signs Ultra. Compression of the cuff tubing or pressure hose may cause system errors to occur in the device.

Take care to prevent water or other fluid from entering any connectors on the device. Should this occur, dry the connectors with warm air. Check all operating functions.

SpO2 Warnings

The operation of the SpO2 sensor in MRI environments is specifically not recommended.

Only use Spot Vital Signs Ultra with Nellcor or Masimo pulse oximetry option with Nellcor or Masimo brand sensors and accessories, respectively. Using the wrong or unapproved sensors or cables may cause improper performance.

The SpQ2 sensor and extension cables are intended for use only for pulse oximetry measurements. Do not attempt to connect these cables to a PC or any similar device.

Before using, carefully read the sensor Operator's Manual, including all warnings, cautions, and instructions.

Do not use a damaged sensor or pulse oximetry cable or a sensor with exposed optical components.

Incorrect application or a long duration of use of an SpO2 sensor may cause tissue damage. Inspect the sensor site periodically as directed in the sensors' direction for use.

SpO2 readings and pulse signal is affected by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions.

Do not immerse or wet the sensor.

Do not use the pulse oximetry cable or power cord to lift the pulse oximeter because the cable or cord may disconnect from the pulse oximeter, causing the pulse oximeter to drop on the patient.

The SpO2 is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.

Consider the pulse oximeter an early warning device. As a trend toward patient hypoxemia is indicated, use laboratory instruments to analyze blood samples to completely understand the patient's condition.

Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient enlargement or strangulation.

Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings.

Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the patient from the pulse oximeter before bathing the patient.

Temperature Warnings

SureTemp Plus™

Use single-use, disposable probe covers to limit patient cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover may produce temperature measurement errors or result in inaccurate readings.

Do not take a patient's temperature without using a disposable probe cover. Doing so can cause patient discomfort, patient cross-contamination, or erroneous temperature readings.

Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is not recommended in any mode.

Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in damage to the probe.

Oral/axillary probes (blue ejection button at top of probe) and blue oral/axillary removable probe wells are used for taking oral and axillary temperatures only. Rectal probes (red ejection button) and red rectal removable probe wells are used for taking rectal temperatures only. Use of the probe at the wrong site will result in temperature errors. Use of the incorrect removable probe well could result in patient cross-contamination.

The thermometer connectors and probe are not waterproof. Do not immerse or drip fluids on these items. Should this occur, dry the device with warm air. Check all functions for proper operation.

Do not take an axillary temperature through patient's clothing. Direct probe cover to skin contact is required.

The SureTemp Plus thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. Protect it from severe impact and shock. A qualified service technician must check any SureTemp Plus thermometer that is dropped or damaged to ensure proper operation prior to further use. Do not use the thermometer if you notice any signs of damage to the probe. Contact the Welch Allyn Customer Service Department for assistance.

Do not autoclave.

General Cautions

If the accuracy of any measurement is in question, check the patient's vital sign(s) with an alternate method, then check to make sure the device is functioning properly.

Place the device on a secure surface or use one of the optional mounting accessories.

5

KC4049C
Page 6 of 9

Do not place fluids on or near the device.

Blood Pressure Cautions

Minimize extremity and cuff motion during blood pressure determinations.

If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, note the difference in reading due to the hydrostatic effect. Add the value of 1.80 mmHg (.2 kPa) to the displayed reading for every inch (2.5 cm) above heart level. Subtract the value of 1.80 mmHg (.2 kPa) from the displayed reading for every inch (2.5 cm) below heart level.

Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement is essential to the accuracy of the blood pressure determination. See "Chart for Determining Cuff Size" on page 23 for cuff sizing information.

Pulse Oximetry Cautions

The pulse oximeter is calibrated to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin such as carboy hemoglobin or methmoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.

Some intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration, may affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement. Some sensors may not be appropriate for a particular patient. If at least 10 seconds of perfusion pulses cannot be observed for a given sensor, change sensor location or sensor type for perfusion to resume.

The sensor disconnect message indicates that the sensor is either disconnected or the wiring is faulty. Check the sensor connection and, if necessary, replace the sensor, pulse oximetry cable, or both.

NOTE: Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may interfere with the pulse oximeter's ability to detect and display measurements include dysfunctional hemoglobin, arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment, and externally applied coloring agents such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream.

When selecting a sensor, consider the patient's weight and activity level, the adequacy of perfusion, the available sensor sites, the need for sterility, and the anticipated duration of monitoring.
