Intended Use
The device "RemoteNurse™ Patient Monitoring system" is a monitoring tool prescribed by a licensed physician when time-critical care is not required, and is intended for use to provide caregivers remote access to vital sign measurements of patients at home, as captured on commercially available medical devices designed for home use, and transmitted to a database retrieved from a secure website. It is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care, and it is not intended to provide real time data. The device is contraindicated for patients with uncompensated heart failure, patients at high risk of life threatening arrhythmias, patients with recent myocardial infarctions, or patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention. The device is intended for patients who are willing and capable to self-administrate it. Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information delivered. Typical devices that may be connected to RemoteNurse™ Patient Station are: Blood Pressure Monitor, Glucose Meter, Weight Scale, Pulse-oxidation, Peak Flow, ECG and PT/INR. Also, digital camera may be connected to RemoteNurse™ Patient Station. The unit supports up to 8 devices in the same time.
Device Description

The device is intended for patients who are willing and capable to self-administrate it. Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information delivered. The RemoteNurse™ Patient Monitoring system consists of - (1) RemoteNurse™ Patient Station –which is a computer with a touch sensitive screen- for capturing patient's vital signs from devices manufactured by others, The RemoteNurse™ Patient Station provides a user interface for displaying reminder information as well as prompting for patient responses to pre-defined questions. - (2) RemoteNurse™ software application for capturing, storing and forwarding patient's vital signs to a secure website via either a standard telephone lines or LAN/WAN. - (3) RemoteAccess™ software application to allow caregiver to review patient's vital signs on the secure website, RemoteAccess™ software application allows for pre-defining limits above or below which it emails and/or pages the caregiver. - (4) Processor software application to manage the interface between RemoteNurse™ software application and the website. Typical devices that may be connected to RemoteNurse™ Patient Station are: Blood Pressure Monitor, Glucose Meter, Weight Scale, Pulse-oxidation, Peak Flow, ECG and PT/INR. Also, digital camera may be connected to RemoteNurse™ Patient Station. The unit supports up to 8 devices in the same time.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data capture, storage, and remote access with pre-defined limits for alerts. There is no mention of AI/ML for analysis, interpretation, or prediction.

No

Explanation: The device is explicitly stated to be a "monitoring tool" and "not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care." It facilitates remote access to vital sign measurements but does not provide any direct therapeutic benefit or treatment.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "It is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care".

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes a "RemoteNurse™ Patient Station –which is a computer with a touch sensitive screen". This is a hardware component, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the RemoteNurse™ Patient Monitoring system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are defined as those intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • RemoteNurse™ Function: The RemoteNurse™ system's primary function is to collect and transmit vital sign measurements from commercially available medical devices designed for home use. These measurements are taken in vivo (on the living patient), not from specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is a "monitoring tool" and "is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care." While it uses data from devices that might be used in conjunction with IVDs (like a Glucose Meter or PT/INR), the RemoteNurse™ system itself is not performing the in vitro analysis. It's acting as a data aggregator and transmission system.

Therefore, the RemoteNurse™ Patient Monitoring system falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
