The device is an accessory communication tool that transmits historical patient information; it does not measure, interpret, or make decisions on vital data, nor does it directly diagnose.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a built-in modem, screen, and buttons, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, the RTX3370 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the RTX3370 is a "communication tool" to transmit historical patient information. It is an "accessory device" used in combination with external devices that do measure physiological data.
- Function: The device description emphasizes its role in "transmission of physiological patient information" and acting as a "remote communication link." It explicitly states that the RTX3370 "does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys."
- IVD Definition: An IVD device is generally defined as a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes. The RTX3370 does not perform any such examination of specimens.
The RTX3370's function is solely to facilitate the communication of data collected by other devices. It does not perform any diagnostic testing or analysis itself.
