The Health Monitoring Kit (HMK) is a non-invasive, spot- measuring device used to measure blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation levels, pulse rate, and heart and lung sounds.
Device Description
The March Healthcare Health Monitoring Kit (HMK) is a portable medical device equipped with a built-in blood pressure monitor. pulse oximeter, and electronic stethoscope intended for spot-checking the basic vital signs of pediatric patients aged three and older and adult patients under the care of a physician in both clinical and home environments. The HMK can be used as a stand-alone unit or it can be connected to a host using a standard Bluetooth® wireless interface or wired universal serial bus (USB) interface to support remote control of the HMK and audio and data transmission in telehealth applications. In both stand-alone and remote telehealth applications. the user can spot-check the following vital signs with the blood pressure monitor and pulse oximeter: heart rate and svstolic and diastolic blood pressure. and functional blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. In remote telehealth applications when the HMK is interfaced with a host, the electronic stethoscope transmits heart and lung sounds via the host to a health care professional at a remote computer. The data from the HMK can be viewed in one of two wavs: on the built-in HMK liquid crystal display (LCD) or from a remote computer connected to a host. The HMK blood pressure monitor uses the non-invasive, oscillometric, step-wise deflation method to measure heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The noninvasive pulse oximeter measures functional blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate using a photodetector and a red and infrared light source to measure the absorption of red and infrared (IR) light passed through the tissuc and arterial hemoglobin. The electronic stethoscope uses a microphone within the chestpiece. bchind a diaphragm. The microphone converts the sound in the chestpiece to an clectronic signal for amplification and transmission to a health care professional at a remote computer via the host. The HMK does not store physiological data in memory. When using the HMK as a standalone unit. the user must manually record the results displayed on the LCD. However. when the HMK is interfaced with a host, the host may store the audio and physiological data in a database for remote access by authorized clinicians. The HMK is powered with either a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery or a Medical Grade IEC 60601-1 compliant AC adapter. The AC adapter is also used to charge the SLA battery. The HMK has only two external inputs: AC adapter input and universal serial bus (USB) input. The user connects the AC adapter to the DC power plug socket when the battery needs charging. In addition, the user can connect the HMK to the host using the Type B USB input as a wired alternative to the wireless Bluetooth interface. The HMK is for sale by or on the order of a physician.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard vital sign measurement technologies (oscillometric, pulse oximetry, microphone).

No.
The document states that the Health Monitoring Kit (HMK) is a "non-invasive, spot- measuring device used to measure blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation levels, pulse rate, and heart and lung sounds." It is described as a "portable medical device equipped with a built-in blood pressure monitor. pulse oximeter, and electronic stethoscope intended for spot-checking the basic vital signs." These functions are for measurement and monitoring, not for providing therapy or treatment.

No

Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition. The HMK is described as a "non-invasive, spot-measuring device used to measure blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation levels, pulse rate, and heart and lung sounds" and for "spot-checking the basic vital signs." It provides measurements of vital signs but does not interpret those measurements to make a diagnosis of a disease or condition. Its purpose is to monitor, not diagnose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable medical device equipped with a built-in blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, and electronic stethoscope," which are hardware components. While it can connect to a host for data transmission and remote control, the core functionality relies on integrated hardware.

Based on the provided text, the Health Monitoring Kit (HMK) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to obtain information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
  • HMK Functionality: The HMK is described as a "non-invasive, spot-measuring device" that measures vital signs directly from the patient's body (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, heart and lung sounds). It does not involve the collection or analysis of specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, the HMK falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device for monitoring physiological parameters, not an IVD.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

To highlight:

  • The Non-Invasive Blood Pressure measurement specifications and performance . are equivalent to the Welch Allyn 52000 Vital Signs Monitor (K951193). The HMK and the Welch Allyn 52000 Vital Signs Monitor use a CAS Medical OEM NIBP module that is similar in design.
  • The HMK SpO2 measurement and performance specifications are equivalent to . the Welch Allyn 52000 Vital Signs Monitor (K951193) because both units use Nonin OEM pulse oximetry technology.
  • The heart and lung sound specifications and performance are derived from the . Cardionics stethoscope (K961301). The networked clectronic stethoscope is an added feature on the HMK that is not available on the Welch Allyn 52000. However, the stethoscope has been approved for market by the FDA to be incorporated into systems like the HMK: consequently, the inclusion of the FDAapproved stethoscope technology raises no new issues of safety and effectiveness and does not affect a substantial equivalence determination.

Materials and Biocompatibility:

The blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter and electronic stethoscope modules are encased in an UL-approved acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrcne (ABS) injection molded carrying case.

The following components contact the patient:

  • A & D Medical LifeSource Pressure Cuffs: The pressure cuff is made from cloth . material (6-nylon) and the cuff hose is made from latex-free PVC plastic.
  • Nonin Pulse Oximeters: All oximeter sensors are constructed using materials that . have been previously validated by Nonin for biocompatibility per ISO 10993.
  • Cardionics Stethoscope: The stethoscope chest piece is made from steel. .

These patient contacting materials have a history of biocompatibility with respect to patient contact. These materials contact the patient in the same locations for less or the same amount of time. Moreover. March Healthcare Corporation has not modified these materials in any way. A&D Medical. Nonin. and Cardionics have tested all patient contacting equipment and accessories for biocompatibility. and these manufacturers have obtained adequate biocompatibility results. For these reasons. March Healthcare Corporation believes that no further biocompatibility testing is required.
