No
The summary explicitly states the device "does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys" and focuses on its function as a communication tool for transmitting data. There is no mention of AI/ML terms or related concepts like training/test sets for algorithms.
No
The device is described as an accessory device that serves as a communication tool to transmit historical patient information and does not measure, interpret, or make decisions on vital data. Its purpose is to collect and transmit selected medical information.
No
The device is described as a communication tool that collects and transmits medical information, but it explicitly states that it "does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys." This indicates it does not perform diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "build-in GSM/GPRS module" and a "screen" with "four large buttons," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the RTX3371 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the RTX3371 is a "communication tool" to enable healthcare providers to receive historical patient information. It collects and transmits selected medical information (like weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) from external devices.
- Function: The device description emphasizes that the RTX3371 "does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys." Its primary function is data transmission.
- IVD Definition: An IVD device is defined as a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The RTX3371 does not perform any such tests on biological samples.
The RTX3371 acts as a data relay and communication hub for information gathered by other devices, which may or may not be IVDs themselves (e.g., a blood glucose meter is an IVD). However, the RTX3371 itself does not fit the definition of an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The RTX3371 is for use in non-clinical settings (such as the home), as an accessory device that is intended to be a communication tool to enable health care providers to receive historical patient information. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of external devices. The RTX3371 serves as the remote communication link between compatible external devices, and the compatible healthcare facility at another location. The healthcare facility could be at a disease management centre or with the healthcare/wellness provider or other out of hospital caregivers. The purpose is to collect and transmit selected medical information (such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) using standard wireless technologies.
The RTX3371 does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The RTX3371 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and requlations used as acceptance criteria:
IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601-1-2. EN980 and FCC part 15+24.
Risk management is performed according to ISO14971:2000 using FMEA.
Based on the fact that the performance comparison of the predicate devices and the submission device show that the differences are minor and causes no harm to the user, and the fact that the intended use and indication are similar, it was early in the project decided to focus on verification and internal validation instead of large scale validation in form of clinical investigation.
Verification and validation testing activities are successfully conducted according to the company's design control processes to establish performance and reliability characteristics of the device.

Discussion of similarities and differences:
Item 1: The submission device and the predicate device K071953 have exactly the same intended use except the way of communication with the server. The products are identical seen from the user, with same functionalities and visual design except the color of the front cover. The way of communication is "Normal residential telephone line" for the predicate device K071953 but "standard wireless technologies" for the submission device and the predicate device K072698. The way of communication is discussed under Item 7. The overall intended use for the submission device and both predicate devices are the same. The minor differences are discussed in the items below.
Item 2: The submission device and the two predicate devices are all intended to be used by the same group of patients and health care providers.
Item 3: The submission device and the two predicate devices are all intended to be used by patients in their homes.
Item 4: The submission device and the two predicate devices are all collecting data from standard home monitoring devices and transmit the measurements to a database server.
Item 5: The submission device and the predicate device K071953 have identical appearance. The predicate device K072698 is a standard Mobile Phone platform, but seen from the user an almost identical appearance using a small display and a few buttons,

Item 6: The submission device and the predicate device K071953 use exactly the same way of communication technologies with the patient monitors. The predicate device K072698 does not support cable connections to patient monitors, but this does not change the intended use. It only limits the number of supported patient monitors.
Item 7: The predicate device K071953 use a standard residential telephone line as communication between the device and the database server, but both the submission device and the predicate device K072698 use standard wireless technologies. The submission device is based on GSM/GPRS wireless technology like the predicate device K072698.
Item 8: The submission device and the two predicate devices are all based on patient interactions using a relatively small color display and a few push buttons. The submission device and the predicate device K071953 are identical seen from user, and designed to be more user friendly than the predicate device K072698.
Item 9: The submission device and the two predicate devices are all interfacing the same type of home monitoring devices to collect measurements like blood pressure. blood glucose, weight etc.
Item 10: The contra indications and warnings are the same for the submission device and the predicate devices.
Performance data:
The RTX3371 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and requlations used as acceptance criteria:
IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601-1-2. EN980 and FCC part 15+24.
Risk management is performed according to ISO14971:2000 using FMEA.
Based on the fact that the performance comparison of the predicate devices and the submission device show that the differences are minor and causes no harm to the user, and the fact that the intended use and indication are similar, it was early in the project decided to focus on verification and internal validation instead of large scale validation in form of clinical investigation.
Verification and validation testing activities are successfully conducted according to the company's design control processes to establish performance and reliability characteristics of the device.
Conclusion
The RTX3371 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cleared by FDA. Verification and validation activities demonstrate that safety and effectiveness are acceptable and comparable to the performance of the predicate devices, justifying 510(k) clearance of the device RTX3371.
