Intended Use
The VSM series of monitors is intended to be used by clinicians and medically qualified personnel for monitoring of noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, noninvasive functional oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin (SpO2), and body temperature in normal and axillary modes of neonatal, pediatric and adult patients. The most likely locations for patients to be monitored are general medical and surgical floors, general hospital and alternate care environments. This device is available for sale only upon the order of a physician or licensed health care professional.
Device Description
The VSM, Vital Signs Monitor, Model 53000 Series, (VSM 300) provides real time monitoring and display of noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), pulse rate, body temperature and nominvasive oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin (SpO2). - NIBP - Noninvasive Blood Pressure is intended to noninvasively measure systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures (MAP). - Temperature -- Intermittent thermometer takes patient temperature in oral, axillary or rectal mode. - SpO2 - Pulse Oximetry channel is intended to noninvasively measure oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin at a peripheral measurement site. The subject device is a modified version of the Model 53000 Series vital signs monitor, which was cleared for marketing under 510(k) K031740. The Model 53000 Series vital signs monitor has been changed to incorporate a modified NIBP module. The modified and existing NIBP modules are similar in their basic functionality. The modified NIBP module contains an updated safety processor, which replaces a discontinued safety processor. Both safety processors belong to the same microcontroller family. The modified NIBP module also incorporates other minor software and hardware changes, including the addition of a Resistor-Capacitor network to reduce sensitivity to external vibration. The modified Vital Signs Monitor, Model 53000 Series (VSM 300) monitor communicates to the user the same basic information as the Model 53000 Series vital signs monitor, specifically: - Saturation, - Pulse rate, - Pleth waveform, - Trigger waveform for audible beep, and - Status information (e.g., sensor type, board integrity). In addition, the user display of the above information (e.g., saturation, pulse rate, error codes) remains unchanged.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard vital signs monitor with a modified NIBP module that incorporates an updated safety processor and minor hardware/software changes. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No

The device is a vital signs monitor used for monitoring physiological parameters, not for treating conditions or delivering therapy.

No

The device is described as a "Vital Signs Monitor" intended for "monitoring of noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, noninvasive functional oxygen saturation," which provides real-time display of these physiological parameters. Monitoring vital signs is used to track a patient's condition, but the text does not state that it is used to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Vital Signs Monitor, Model 53000 Series" and details hardware components like an NIBP module with a safety processor and a Resistor-Capacitor network. It also mentions testing using "production equivalent units," indicating a physical device.

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 VSM series of monitors measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, and SpO2). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states monitoring of vital signs in patients, not testing of samples from patients.

Therefore, the VSM series of monitors falls under the category of a vital signs monitor, which is a medical device used for patient monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Wagner:

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 may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act

comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labcling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
