Intended Use
The RTX3320 device is for use by patients at home. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of patient monitors upon the prescription of a licensed physician or other authorized healthcare provider. RTX3320 serves as the remote communication link between compatible patient monitors, and the compatible healthcare facility at another location. The healthcare facility could be at a disease management center, or with the healthcare/wellness provider or other out-of-hospital caregivers. The purpose is to transmit selected medical information (such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) over a normal residential telephone line. RTX3320 is a "black box" device – it is not connected to the patient and not operated by the patient. The installation must be performed by or under supervision of an authorized professional healthcare company. This device does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys.
Device Description
The RTX3320 telemedicine device perform transmission of physiological patient information to and from wireless patient monitors, and a remote data server healthcare facility using standard digital communication technologies and protocols. The RTX3320, with its build-in modem, transmits data using the public switched telephone network. It is designed not to interfere with the normal use of phones on the same telephone line. The RTX3320 device is not operated by, or used directly on a patient, and poses no significant risk to the patient or other people within the patient's home.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "This device does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys" and describes it as a "black box" for data transmission. There is no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is a communication link to transmit medical information and does not measure, interpret, or make decisions on vital data, nor is it connected to or operated by the patient to provide any form of therapy.

No

The device is described as a "remote communication link" that transmits medical information. It explicitly states, "This device does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys." This indicates it is a data transmission device, not one that performs diagnostic analysis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "black box" device with a "build-in modem" that transmits data using the "public switched telephone network," indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the RTX3320 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • RTX3320 Function: The RTX3320 device's intended use is to transmit selected medical information (like weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) from compatible patient monitors to a remote healthcare facility. It acts as a communication link.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The description explicitly states that the device "does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys." It is a "black box" that transmits data already collected by other devices (the patient monitors). It does not analyze any biological specimens.

Therefore, the RTX3320 falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a telemedicine communication device.

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

The RTX3200 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and regulations used as acceptance criteria:

IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, FCC part 15 and FCC Part 68.

Risk management is performed according to ISO14971:2000.

Based on the fact that the performance comparison of the predicate device and the submission device show that the differences are minor and causes no harm to the user, and the fact that the intended use and indication for use is the same, it was early in the project decided to focus on verification and internal validation instead of large scale validation in form of clinical investigation.

Verification and validation testing activities is conducted to establish performance and reliability characteristics of the device.

Discussion on differences:

ltem 1: The intended use / Indications for use for the predicate device and submission device is generally the same. The exact use is for both devices to be decided and supervised by a licensed physician or an authorized healthcare provider, but limited to be within the intended use and with respect to the contra indications and warnings which are also generally the same for both devices.

ltem 5 The predicate device is a system consisting of patient monitor devices, a hub/gateway device and a system server software. The Submission device is a hub/gateway device with a specified generic protocol interface to any compatible patient monitor, and with a specified generic protocol interface to any compatible system server. The protocols are validated against existing compatible patient monitors and servers, and in the labeling it is stated that only compatible and system validated patient monitors and servers must be used with the hub/gateway.

Verfication and validation done on the compatible patient monitors ensure that no extra safety or performance risks are added when using the submission device compared with the predicate device.

The server side and database management must always be validated by the responsible system operator or provider, and using the generic and properly documented protocol adds no extra safety or performance risks to a system using the submission device compared to the predicate device.

may be arrithe predicate device the measurements taken are defined by the patient momitors that are a part of the system. For the submission device the measurements taken mention and by the specific compatible patient monitors. Because of the similar intended use and indication for use for both the predicate device and the submission device, the measurements will typically be the same.

Inoded.omomonik thir typecifications about the wireless link between the patient monitors and the Gateway for the predicate device are proprietary and not available for RTX Healthcare. Based on the knowledge available as a leading company within wireless connectivity RTX Healthcare has evaluated that many different short range radio solutions are suitable for this type of devices without adding any additional risks to the patient. RTX Healthcare has chosen the Bluetooth wireless technology used in other medical devices like the Nonin Pulseoximeter (FDA-K041156 ) developed by RTX Healthcare. The general radio signal safety requirements and FCC Part 15 rules are regulatory requirements that are equal for both the predicate device and the submission device. Since the only purpose using a wireless radio link is to replace a cable, the wireless link in the submission device is evaluated not to add any additional risks within the intended use compared to the predicate device.

Item 12: Detailed environmental specifications for the predicate device are proprietary and not available for RTX Healthcare. This is evaluated not to add any additional risks to the patient since both the predicate device and the submission device, according to the intended use, are designed for use by patients at home. The environmental specifications for the submission device are defined according to IEC60601-1 and specifications available for other medical devices for home use.

Performance data:

The RTX3200 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and regulations used as acceptance criteria:

IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, FCC part 15 and FCC Part 68.

Risk management is performed according to ISO14971:2000.
