No
The device description focuses on data transmission and conversion using standard communication protocols (fax, POTS, cellular networks). There is no mention of analysis, interpretation, or learning from the data, which are characteristic of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".
No
The device is described as a mechanism to transmit ECG data and does not directly provide therapy or affect a patient's health. It merely facilitates the communication of diagnostic information.
No
The device transmits existing 12-lead ECGs; it does not perform any analysis or interpretation to help diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the EMS-Enable component is a "self-contained, battery-powered device" and connects to a cell phone via a "standard data cable" and a "standard telephone adapter cable." This indicates the presence of physical hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the TelEnable EMS System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- TelEnable EMS System Function: The TelEnable EMS System's primary function is to transmit existing ECG data from a portable ECG monitor to a central location. It acts as a communication bridge for pre-acquired physiological data.
- No Specimen Analysis: The system does not analyze any biological specimens. It receives and transmits data that has already been generated by an ECG monitor, which is a device that measures electrical activity of the heart in vivo (within the body).
- Non-Invasive: The description explicitly states the system is non-invasive and not connected directly to a patient. This further supports that it's not involved in the in vitro analysis of patient samples.
In summary, the TelEnable EMS System is a data transmission and communication system for physiological data (ECGs), not a device that performs diagnostic testing on biological specimens.

Device Description
The TelEnable EMS System provides a means of transmitting snapshots of physiologic waveforms and data over standard communications means such as the public switched telephone, analog cellular, or digital cellular networks. Such information is transmitted from a remote location using the EMS-Enable component to a receiving EMS Hub component located in a hospital. The EMS-Enable component connects to portable ECG & standard monitor/defibrillator devices that can output their data via a standard fax modulator (modem). The EMS-Enable decodes the touch tone dialing digits output by the monitor to determine which hospital to call. This analog information is converted into encrypted data packets that are suitable for transmission over digital and analog networks. The EMS-Enable is a self-contained, battery-powered device that is connected to a cell phone via a standard data cable compatible with the phone and a standard telephone adapter cable. Standard fax output from the ECG monitor/defibrillator device is received by the EMS-Enable (as if was a standard telephone wall plug). The data is encrypted and converted into data packets to be transmitted over the digital cellular or other standard communication network. The EMS-Enable transmits the data packets over the communication network to the EMS Hub where the ECG fax can be printed out on a standard printer, saved in a data file, or printed out on a standard fax machine. The EMS Hub component is located in the hospital and provides the interface between the remote EMS-Enable devices and the hospital. It is connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN or standard telephone network) via standard telephone patch cables. It communicates with the EMS-Enable and depacketizes and decrypts the ECG fax into a format compatible with a printer, file, or standard fax machine. The transmission formats supported by the EMS-Enable and EMS Hub include standard group 3 fax modulation formats, touch-tone signaling (DTMF), and standard interface protocols and schemes utilized by cell phones and cell phone carriers to transmit data.

1.1. Description of TelEnable EMS System
The TelEnable EMS System provides a means of transmitting snapshots of physiologic waveforms and data over standard communications means such as the public switched telephone, analog cellular, or digital cellular networks. Such information is transmitted from a remote location using the EMS-Enable component to a receiving EMS Hub component located in a hospital.
The EMS-Enable component connects to portable ECG & standard monitor/defibrillator devices that can output their data via a standard fax modulator (modem). The EMS-Enable decodes the touch tone dialing digits output by the monitor to determine which hospital to call. This analog information is converted into encrypted data packets that are suitable for transmission over digital and analog networks. The EMS-Enable is a self-contained, battery-powered device that is connected to a cell phone via a standard data cable compatible with the phone and a standard telephone adapter cable.
Standard fax output from the ECG monitor/defibrillator device is received by the EMS-Enable (as if was a standard telephone wall plug). The data is encrypted and converted into data packets to be transmitted over the digital cellular or other standard communication network. The EMS-Enable transmits the data packets over the communication network to the EMS Hub where the ECG fax can be printed out on a standard printer, saved in a data file, or printed out on a standard fax machine.
The EMS Hub component is located in the hospital and provides the interface between the remote EMS-Enable devices and the hospital. It is connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN or standard telephone network) via standard telephone patch cables. It communicates with the EMS-Enable and depacketizes and decrypts the ECG fax into a format compatible with a printer, file, or standard fax machine.
The transmission formats supported by the EMS-Enable and EMS Hub include standard group 3 fax modulation formats, touch-tone signaling (DTMF), and standard interface protocols and schemes utilized by cell phones and cell phone carriers to transmit data.
1.2. Intended use
The TelEnable EMS System is intended to provide reliable transmission of ECG faxes acquired from a standard monitor/defibrillator. The EMS-Enable is designed to work remotely from the hospital and transmit ECG faxes (captured and formatted by the monitor/defibrillator). The transmission mechanism can be via any standard communication such as a landline, analog cell phone, digital cell phone, Bluetooth device, 802.11 device, or satellite phone,
2
The communication devices are off-the-shelf devices which have received the necessary FCC certifications and/or approvals to operate as radio devices. Examples of such devices include: cell phone handsets, Bluetooth modules with a serial interface, or standard serial modems.
In addition, the EMS Hub component of the system is capable of receiving standard faxes from any device, including EOG monitors, which may be transmitting such images over a standard PSTN (landline) circuit. Such images will not meet the quality of images transmitted using the EMS-Enable component, but will meet the quality of most laser fax machines.
The EMS-Enable component is not designed to interface directly to a PSTN through its RJ11 jack. This interface is the principle interface mechanism to portable ECG monitors/ defibrillators.
1.3. Performance Comparison with Predicate Device(s)
Several devices, which are functionally similar, have previously been granted Class II, 510(k) approval from the FDA. While these predicate devices do not exactly match the functionally of the TelEnable EMS System, they are similar enough to be classified as legitimate predicate devices. These are listed in Table 1 and Table 2.

1.4. Summary of Differences
The primary difference between the predicate devices (system) and the TelEnable EMS System (TES) is that TES only transports ECG fax formatted snapshots from a remote location to a hospital. TES does not reformat the output (other than formatically performed by fax machines to fit the image onto a page). TES provides data encryption (above that provided by the communications network) so that a casual interceptor of the data will not be able to read the information. Other differences relate to the packaging, circuits, software, battery type, appearance, brand name, manufacturer, and interface cables.
1.5. Summary of Non-clinical Trials
The TelEnable EMS System and its components were subjected to non-clinical testing to insure proper operation and performance. These tests included the following:
- 트 Verification that the EMS-Enable could correctly and reliably received standard fax formatted information. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions and using standard fax machines as input devices.
- 보 Verification that the EMS-Enable can correctly and reliably connect to and communicate with the standard communication devices. The specific devices tested were digital cell phone and land line connection.
- Ventication that the EMS-Enable can correctly and reliably transmit the packetized and encrypted fax information. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions.

- . Verification that the EMS-Enable can reliably received, encrypt, packetize, and send the received fax information in the format compatible with the EMS Hub. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions.
- 발 Determined the efficacy of the EMS-Enable and EMS Hub under simulated wireless signal dropout and signal-corruption conditions. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions.
- 트 Verification that the EMS Hub can correctly receive the packetized and encrypted data. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions.
- . Verification that the EMS Hub can correctly and reliably decrypt and output the fax data transmitted from the EMS-Enable. The outputs were to standard printer, file, and fax machines. These tests were performed under simulated use conditions.
1.6. How Test Results Support Substantial Equivalency
The testing that was performed on the TelEnable EMS System demonstrates that the system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in that the physiologic information (snapshots are encoded by an external monitor and output as a standard fax) was reliably and correctly transmitted and faithfully reproduced on the output device.
1.7. Conclusion Drawn by Non-Clinical Testing
The conclusions drawn by the non-clinical testing indicate that the TellEnable EMS System can successfully perform the intended tasks under normal use conditions; that the system behaved as expected; that the application of standard communication technologies in this environment can achieve predictable results; and the absence of electrical risk factors to the patient.
