The summary describes a device that collects and transmits physiological data and derives basic metrics (heart rate, respiration rate, activity level) based on direct sensor readings and predefined thresholds. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any complex algorithms that would typically be associated with these technologies.
No
The device is described as a "Vital Signs Physiological Monitor" intended for "monitoring" and to "provide physiological information." It collects and transmits data like ECG and respiration but does not explicitly state that it provides therapy or treatment.
No
The device is described as a "Physiological Monitor" intended for "monitoring of adults" and to "provide physiological information". It collects and transmits data like ECG, respiration, temperature, and orientation, and derives heart rate and breathing effort rate. While it measures physiological data, it is not explicitly stated to be used for diagnosing diseases or conditions, but rather for "general patient monitor", "occupational welfare monitoring system", and "general research and performance measurement purposes". It provides "indications and alerts if physiology exceeds predefined boundaries" but does not interpret this data for diagnostic purposes itself.
No
The device description explicitly states it comprises a chest belt harness and a body worn electronics module (SEM), which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Equivital™ Vital Signs Physiological Monitor is a device that directly measures physiological parameters from the body (ECG, respiration, skin temperature, orientation, motion) using sensors attached to the skin. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring of vital signs and physiological information, not the analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a physiological monitor, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Equivital™ Vital Signs Physiological Monitor comprises two components:
i) A chest belt containing skin electrodes and an expansion sensor
ii) A battery powered electronics module which connects directly to the chest belt and which acts to record, digitise and transmit the physiological information wirelessly to a receiving display device.
The device offers continuous monitoring of two views of the user's heart electrical activity (ECG) and respiratory breathing frequency inferred from thoracic cavity movement and uses this data to derive a Heart Rate and a Breathing Effort Rate. The sensor also provides the following information: ECG and Respiration physiological waveforms, an indication of the user's activity level (none, low or high) derived from a movement detection sensor, Body orientation, Chest skin surface temperature, alternate secondary measurement of heart rate based on the detection of the user's R wave using a separate hardware processing function, indications and alerts if physiology exceeds predefined boundaries.
The device offers two variants for the wireless interface: a low power radio interface designed for military applications and a general purpose interface using Bluetooth™ technology. The device offers two battery power options for the user, rechargeable or primary disposable cells. The wireless data provided by the sensor may be viewed using a standalone PC based viewing application, or integrated into third party monitoring applications.

Dear Mr. Pisani:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA max publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
