Intended Use
The EarlySense™ ES-16 system is intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate and heart rate, in an automatic contact-less manner, at home, hospital or clinic setting. The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents and adults. The operation of the ES-16 System has been studied in children (weight ≥ 10 Kg) and adults (weight ≤111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition.
Device Description
The EarlySense™ ES-16 System consists of the following main components: - . A Sensing Unit placed under the mattress pad. - . A Control Unit (Bedside Unit). - Proprietary recording and data analysis software operating under 트 Microsoft® Windows™ CE. The under mattress Sensing Unit includes a piezoelectric sensor, which converts the detected respiration- and heart beat-related mechanical movements into an electric signal. The Control Unit receives the electric signals, processes them and finally calculates, logs and displays the patient's respiration rate and hear rate. The EarlySense™ System is designed for continuous and contact-less monitoring of respiration and heart rates during sleep or resting condition, and it automatically starts measuring whenever the patient is in bed under resting or sleeping conditions. The data acquired by the System should be analyzed by a health care practitioner either in realtime (e.g. when monitoring is performed in the clinic), or off-line, after the monitoring session (e.g. when monitoring is performed at home).

No
The summary describes standard signal processing and calculation of physiological parameters without mentioning AI or ML techniques.

No.
The device is intended for continuous measurement and monitoring of patient parameters (respiration rate and heart rate), not for treating any condition.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate and heart rate, which is monitoring, not diagnosis. The data is to be analyzed by a healthcare practitioner, implying the device provides data for diagnosis rather than performing the diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a Sensing Unit (containing a piezoelectric sensor) and a Control Unit (Bedside Unit), in addition to the software.

Based on the provided information, the EarlySense™ ES-16 system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • EarlySense™ ES-16 Function: The EarlySense™ ES-16 system measures physiological parameters (respiration rate and heart rate) directly from the patient's body in a contact-less manner. It does not analyze biological specimens.

The device is a physiological monitoring system, not an IVD.
