Intended Use
The LifeShirt Real-Time is intended for use during daily activities of living and sleep, for the purpose of recording physiological data for later analysis by a physician. Respiration, ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, and body position data may be collected. The system is intended to provide analysis of breathing patterns as an aid in classifying apneas as well as displaying heart rate changes from electrocardiographic waveforms in the wake and sleeping states as well as activities of daily living. The LifeShirt Real-Time is indicated for reuse by multiple adult patients in applications that may include pharmaceutical studies in which respiratory information is a useful indicator, or the general healthcare market where patients may be monitored at home and the data provided to their physicians as an aid to diagnosis and treatment.
Device Description
The LifeShirt Real-Time consists of the following components: the LifeShirt garment, LifeShirt Recorder/Transmitter, a wireless flash card, a data Flash Card, VivoMonitor™ real-time software and VivoLogic® analysis and reporting software. A cleared pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff, and a temperature sensor are optional accessories provided for use with the device.

No
The summary describes standard physiological data collection and analysis software, with no mention of AI or ML techniques. The analysis described is focused on classifying apneas and displaying heart rate changes, which can be achieved with traditional signal processing and rule-based algorithms.

No.
The device is intended for recording physiological data for later analysis by a physician as an aid to diagnosis and treatment, not for providing therapy.

Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device provides "analysis of breathing patterns as an aid in classifying apneas" and displays "heart rate changes," with data provided to physicians "as an aid to diagnosis and treatment." This indicates the device's role in assisting with medical diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the LifeShirt garment, Recorder/Transmitter, wireless flash card, and data Flash Card, in addition to the software.

Based on the provided information, the LifeShirt Real-Time is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The LifeShirt Real-Time collects physiological data from the body itself (respiration, ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, body position).
  • The intended use describes monitoring and recording physiological data for later analysis by a physician. This is typical of patient monitoring devices, not IVDs.
  • The device components are external sensors and recording equipment. There is no mention of reagents, test strips, or other components associated with analyzing biological samples.

The LifeShirt Real-Time falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device.
