Intended Use
The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The system is designed to acquire and monitor physiological data for ambulating patients within a defined coverage area. The system processes this physiological data to detect various ECG arrhythmia events and select physiological parameter limit violations. The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to be installed in the hospital or clinical environment in order to provide clinicians with patient physiological data, while allowing for patient mobility. These systems are typically deployed in sub acute care areas in hospitals or clinical sites where patient mobility can enhance the effectiveness of the medical procedures administered. The physiological parameters monitored include ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, noninvasive temperature and SpO2. The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to provide ECG data via Ethernet to the computer platform for processing. The ApexPro Telemetry System is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity Network to clinical information systems for display.
Device Description
The ApexPro Telemetry System provides clinicians with patient data while allowing for patient mobility. The system consists of the following main components: • The patient worn data acquisition transmitters • Receiver Infrastructures • Computer platforms hosting the ApexPro Software • Computer platforms hosting the central station application • Accessories to the patient-worn data acquisition transmitters Serviceability tools
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard physiological monitoring system with data acquisition, processing for arrhythmia detection and parameter limit violations, and display. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The processing described appears to be based on predefined algorithms and thresholds, not learned patterns.

No
The device is designed to monitor physiological data and detect arrhythmia events, but it does not claim to treat or cure any medical condition. It provides data for clinicians, but does not provide therapy itself.

No

The device is primarily described as a monitoring and data acquisition system, not explicitly for diagnosis. While it detects arrhythmia events and limit violations, its stated purpose is to "provide clinicians with patient physiological data" and process it, rather than rendering a medical diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as "patient worn data acquisition transmitters," "Receiver Infrastructures," and "Accessories to the patient-worn data acquisition transmitters," indicating it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the ApexPro Telemetry System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is designed to acquire and monitor physiological data from ambulating patients. This involves measuring parameters like ECG, blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 directly from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The components listed are patient-worn transmitters, receivers, and computer platforms for processing and displaying this physiological data.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body. IVD devices are specifically designed for testing these types of samples.

The ApexPro Telemetry System is a patient monitoring system that collects data in vivo (from within the living body).

Dear Mr. Sandler:

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.

Page 2 - Mr. Bernard Sandler

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence detcrmination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as sct 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). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
