The Daylink 112 Monitor ("DLM112") is for use in non-clinical settings (such as the home), as an accessory device that is intended to be a communication tool to enable health care providers to receive historical patient information. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of external devices. The DLM112 serves as the remote communication link between compatible external devices, 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 collect and transmit selected medical information (such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) over a normal residential telephone line.
The DLM112 Monitor does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys.
The DLM112 telemedicine device performs transmission of physiological patient information to and from wireless, infrared and cabled patient monitors, and a remote data server healthcare facility using standard digital communication technologies and protocols. The DLM112, with its build-in modem, transmits data using the public switched telephone network.
The DLM112 screen, displays the information or questions about vital signs, symptoms and behaviors sent by the patient's healthcare provider, and allows the patient to respond via four large buttons
The DLM112 device is not used directly on a patient, and poses no significant risk to the patient or other people within the patient's home.
Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary regarding the DLM112 Daylink Monitor, focusing on acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for DLM112 Daylink Monitor
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Standards and Regulations) | Reported Device Performance/Compliance |
|---|---|
| IEC 60601-1 (Medical electrical equipment) | Tested to meet requirements |
| IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility) | Tested to meet requirements |

| ISO 14971:2000 (Risk Management for Medical Devices) | Risk management performed according to standard |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document explicitly states: "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."
Therefore, there was no "test set" in the context of a clinical study or a dataset of patient information as would be used for evaluating an AI/algorithm-driven device. The validation focused on engineering verification and internal functional testing of the device against established technical standards.
- Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of patient data. The "sample" would be the device itself and its components undergoing engineering and functional tests.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The validation was based on testing the hardware and software against technical standards, not on patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. As there was no clinical test set involving patient data for which "ground truth" (e.g., disease presence, measurement accuracy) needed to be established by experts, this information is not provided. The "ground truth" here is the adherence to technical specifications and regulatory standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication was used.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
No. This device is a communication hub, not an AI/algorithm that assists human readers in interpreting medical images or data. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant and was not performed.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, in a conceptual sense, the "performance" described is standalone algorithm/device performance against technical specifications. However, it's crucial to understand that the DLM112 is a data transmission device, not an AI or diagnostic algorithm. Its "standalone performance" refers to its ability to reliably transmit data according to its design and industry standards, entirely without human intervention in the transmission process itself. The document states: "The DLM112 Monitor does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys."
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the DLM112's performance is adherence to recognized engineering standards and regulatory requirements. This includes:
- IEC 60601-1 (general safety of medical electrical equipment)
- IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility)
- FCC Part 15 (radio frequency emissions)
- FCC Part 68 (telecom network connections)
- ISO 14971:2000 (risk management processes)
The device's functionality (data transmission) was verified against these established technical benchmarks.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. The DLM112 is a hardware communication device with embedded software, not an AI model that requires a "training set" of data in the machine learning sense. Its functionality is based on programmed logic and communication protocols, not learned patterns from a dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, there is no ground truth established for it.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison table:
{2}------------------------------------------------
{3}------------------------------------------------
Discussion on differences:
Item 1: The intended use / Indications for use for the predicate devices and the submission device are generally the same. The exact use are for all devices limited to be within the same intended use and with respect to the contra indications and warnings which are also generally the same for all three devices.
Item 2: The user of the predicate devices and the submission device is the same. The requirements to the user and skills that the users need to have are the same.
Item 3: Both the predicate devices and the submission device are for use in patient's home, The requirement specifications and the used performance standards for the submission device are defined based on using the device in a home environment.
Item 4: The predicate devices K023749 (Philips) and K042273 (Health Hero) are systems consisting of patient monitor devices, a hub/gateway device and a system server software. The Submission device and the Predicate device K041816 (RTX Healthcare) are a hub/gateway devices with a specified generic protocol interface to a list of compatible patient monitors, and with a specified generic protocol interface to any compatible system server. The protocols for the Submission device and the Predicate device K041816 (RTX Healthcare) are validated against existing compatible patient monitors and servers, and in the labeling it is stated that only compatible patient monitors and servers must be used with the hub/gateway.
Item 5: Two of the predicate devices and the submission device uses wireless communication between the patient monitors and the hub/gateway device. The third predicate device use cable connection which is also available on the submission device. Item 6: Both the predicate devices and the submission device use a residential telephone line for data communication.
Item 7: The predicate devices K023749 (Philips) and K042273 (Health Hero) are fitted with a display and a few push buttons for patient interaction. The purpose is to interact with the patient to collect additional information. The submission device is also fitted with a display and a few push buttons, and with the same purpose as on the predicate devices.
Item 8: For the predicate devices K023749 (Philips) and K042273 (Health Hero) the measurements taken are defined by the patient monitors that are a part of the system. For the submission device and the predicate device K041816 (RTX Healthcare), the
measurements taken are defined by the compatible patient monitors. Because of the similar intended use and indication for use for both the predicate devices and the submission device, the type of measurements will be the same.
Ifem 9a: Neither the predicate or submission devices may be used to send real time alarms.
Ifem 9b: Both the predicate and submission devices defines that all patient medical diagnosis and treatment are to be performed under the supervision and oversight of an appropriate healthcare professional.
Item 9c: Both the predicate and submission devices defines that it is not intended as a substitute for medical care or healthcare judgment.
Item 9d: Two of the predicate devices and the submission device state that it is not for use in systems set up for patients who need direct medical supervision.
Item 10: Two of the predicate devices use wireless connectivity like the submission device. One of the predicate devices and the submission device use the Bluetooth wireless technology that are known within medical devices, like the A&D Blood Pressure Meter
{4}------------------------------------------------
(FDA- K043217 ). The general radio signal safety requirements and FCC Part 15 rules are regulatory requirements that are equal for all devices containing radio transmitter. Item 11: Detailed environmental specifications are available for one of the predicate devices, but not for the two others since that is proprietary information not available for RTX Healthcare. This is evaluated not to add any additional risks to the patient since both the predicate devices 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 IEC/UL 60601-1 and specifications available for other medical devices for home use.
Performance data:
The DLM112 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and requlations 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.
Conclusion
The DLM112 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cleared by FDA.
