Intended Use
The intended use of the Spacelabs Medical Clinical Event Interface is to interface with the Spacelabs monitoring network in order to provide a secondary means of annunciating and displaying patient alarm information to mobile healthcare providers. The device is indicated for use in real-time monitoring of routine patient status and alarm events. The pager is intended to serve as a parallel, redundant mechanism to inform the clinical staff of patient events. The Clinical Event Interface System is intended for use as a secondary alarm in any hospital environment currently using or intending to use a Spacelabs patient monitoring network. The Clinical Event Interface supplements the primary patient-monitoring system by providing a forwarding mechanism for annunciating and displaying patient alarm events and the critical information associated with the events - including parameter values and waveforms, typically within 4 - 8 seconds of an alarm event on the patient monitor. The pager provides an audio or vibrating alert along with a series of displays showing patient identification, alarm parameters, and up to a 12-second waveform snapshot. The Spacelabs Medical Clinical Event Interface is a secondary alarm. It does not replace the primary alarm function on the monitor.
Device Description
The Spacelabs Medical Clinical Event Interface (CEI), model 91847, is a software module intended to be installed on an Off-The-Shelf (OTS) computer system utilizing a Microsoft operating system. The primarv purpose of the CEI is to forward patient monitor alarm event information, originating from a Spacelabs Patient Monitoring network, to a messaging and notification system for delivery to the healthcare provider via wireless pagers. The system is also capable of providing vital signs updates at regular intervals. CEI allows nurses to be aware of their patients' alarm conditions when they are away from the patient and the monitoring system. CEI is an open design utilizing an OTS messaging system that is compatible with the Motorola CP1250 paging systems. The Clinical Event Interface includes a software module, created by Spacelabs Medical, that accesses patient data acquired from a Spacelabs Medical Patient Monitoring System. The monitoring system forwards the data to a database. The Spacelabs Medical software module recognizes when new information has become available. It accesses and formats that data for delivery to the Emergin Integrated Messaging System, an OTS software package. The Emergin software accepts input from the Spacelabs program, reformats it and passes it on to the paging encoder, an OTS component of the system. The paging encoder formats the data for the Motorola CP1250 pager and forwards it to the pager base station for transmission to the pager. The Spacelabs Medical CEI provides a complete, end-to-end solution for paging and incorporates all of these components in a single offering. The CEI messaging system provides for the sending patient information in a text only or text and graphic format to the Motorola CP1250 pager. The CEI system is designed to forward alarm information as the alarms are recognized by the patient monitoring network. The system is also cable of being set up to periodically forward a patient's physiological data at predetermined intervals. The Spacelabs Medical ICS Clinical Event Interface (CEI), model 91847, system is a secondary alarm notification system. It does not replace the primary alarm function of the bedside monitor.

No
The description focuses on data forwarding and formatting, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or decision-making.

No.
The device is a secondary alarm and notification system for patient events, not a device that directly treats or diagnoses a medical condition.

No

The device is an interface system that forwards patient alarm and status information from a primary monitoring system to mobile healthcare providers. It is explicitly stated that it is a "secondary alarm" and "does not replace the primary alarm function on the monitor," indicating its role is to disseminate existing alarms, not to generate diagnoses itself.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Spacelabs Medical Clinical Event Interface (CEI) "provides a complete, end-to-end solution for paging and incorporates all of these components in a single offering," which includes the software module, an OTS messaging system, a paging encoder (an OTS component), and a pager base station. While the core Spacelabs contribution is a software module, the overall system, as described and offered, includes hardware components necessary for its function (paging encoder, pager base station, and the pagers themselves).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to interface with a patient monitoring network to provide secondary alarm and patient information to healthcare providers via pagers. This is focused on real-time patient status and alarm events, not on analyzing biological samples to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a software module that processes and forwards patient data from a monitoring system to a messaging system for delivery to pagers. It does not involve the analysis of in vitro samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or any function related to determining the presence or absence of a disease or condition through in vitro means.

The device is clearly described as a secondary alarm notification system that supplements a primary patient monitoring system. This falls under the category of patient monitoring and communication devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
