The summary describes a system for gathering and transmitting patient data for review and analysis by healthcare professionals. It does not mention any AI or ML capabilities for automated analysis or interpretation.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a communication link that gathers and transmits patient data for review and analysis by healthcare professionals, rather than directly providing therapy or treatment. It explicitly states it "may not be used as a substitute for direct medical intervention or emergency care."
No
The device is described as a communication link for gathering, transmitting, reviewing, and analyzing patient data from other monitoring devices, but not as interpreting, diagnosing, or screening conditions itself. The Intended Use explicitly states it "may not be used as a substitute for direct medical intervention or emergency care" and that "Interpretation of the information collected and transmitted requires clinical judgment by an appropriate healthcare professional."
No
The device description explicitly states it serves as a "communication link between FDA approved compatible devices and the server software". This implies the system interacts with external hardware devices (monitoring devices) to gather data, making it more than just software.
Based on the provided text, the FORA TeleHealth System 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 or tissue, to detect diseases or other conditions.
- FORA TeleHealth System's function: The description clearly states that the system's primary function is to gather and transmit patient data from compatible monitoring devices (like blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors) to healthcare professionals. It acts as a communication link and a platform for reviewing and analyzing historical test results.
- No mention of testing samples: There is no indication that the FORA TeleHealth System itself performs any tests on biological samples. The data it handles is generated by separate, compatible devices.
Therefore, the FORA TeleHealth System is a telehealth or remote patient monitoring system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Chen:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 16, 2009.
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 (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.
