Intended Use
The intended use of the HA System is for the collection, transmission, and persistence of medical measurement data and patient care data for the sole purpose of encouraging and tracking a patient's progress against the goals set between the Healthcare Professional and the patient. The goals would be established independent of the HA System in the pursuit of providing care for a chronic or post acute condition and/or to promote patient wellness. The HA System would enable Healthcare Professionals to make use of the persisted information as a guide in delivering ongoing feedback to their patients, to set periodic reminders for patients to act on scheduled activities such as taking a vital measurement, and to receive notifications for events they configure such as ar out of range vital measurement. The HA System can record physiological information such as: - Blood pressure measurements - Pulse rate measurements - Body weight measurements - Blood glucose levels - Body temperature measurements - Blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2) levels The HA System can be used by Healthcare Professionals to create health related questionnaires, exercise plans and nutrition plans; to forward these items to the patients; and to receive the patient responses for the related questionnaires, exercise activities, and nutrition activities. The HA System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care; it is also not intended to provide real-time data. The data is not used for time-critical care. The device is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention.

No
The document describes a system for collecting, transmitting, and displaying patient data and facilitating communication between patients and healthcare professionals. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for data analysis, interpretation, or decision support. The system's functions are based on pre-configured parameters set by healthcare professionals.

No
The device is described as a software system for collecting, transmitting, and persisting medical measurement data and patient care data to track progress and provide feedback. It explicitly states it is "not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care" and that it "is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention." This indicates it is not designed to directly treat or alleviate a condition, which is the primary function of a therapeutic device.

No

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The HA System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care".

Yes

The device is described as a "user-friendly software system" comprised of a client application, server, and portal. While it interacts with external, off-the-shelf medical peripherals for data collection, the core regulated component appears to be the software itself, responsible for collection, transmission, persistence, and presentation of data. The description focuses on the software components and their functionalities.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes.
  • HA System's Intended Use: The HA System's intended use is focused on the collection, transmission, and persistence of medical measurement data and patient care data for the purpose of encouraging and tracking patient progress against goals set with a Healthcare Professional. It explicitly states it is not intended for diagnosis.
  • Data Sources: The data collected by the HA System comes from noninvasive, commercially available, off-the-shelf, wireless medical peripherals (like blood pressure monitors, scales, etc.) and patient care updates. It does not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Handling/Analysis: The description does not mention any capabilities for collecting, preparing, or analyzing biological specimens.

In summary, the HA System functions as a remote patient monitoring and data management system, not a device that performs diagnostic tests on biological samples.

The HA System can record physiological information such as:

  • Blood pressure measurements .
  • Pulse rate measurements
  • Body weight measurements .
  • . Blood glucose levels
  • Body temperature measurements .
  • � Blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2) levels

The HA System can be used by Healthcare Professionals to create health related questionnaires, exercise plans and nutrition plans; to forward these items to the patients; and to receive/review patient responses to the related questionnaires, exercise activities, and nutrition activities.

The HA System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care; it is alsonot intended to provide real-time data. The data is not used for time-critical care. The device is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention.

Summary of technological characteristics:

There are two distinct subsystems in the HA System – the client software runs on a Microsoft Windows and BlackBerry platforms; and the server components run on a LINUX platform hosted in a secure data centre.

The HA Client Application is distributed on the following hardware platforms: BlackBerry (models: 8100, 8120, 8130, 8300, 8320, 8330, 8820, 8830); PC (models: Samsung NP-Q1U Tablet PC, Dell Inspirion Mini 10 Notebook, Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC, Dell Optiplex SX280, ELO TouchSystems 17A2 Touchcomputer

The HA Client Application is a standalone software application which collects information from off-the-shel Bluetooth-enabled medical peripherals, such as a Blood Pressure monitor, using a Bluetooth wireless connection. To transmit data from the medical peripherals to the Healthanywhere Client Application, the HA Client Application makes use of the enibedded Bluetooth software on all of the hardware platforms listed above except for the Dell Optiplex SX280 and ELO TouchSystems 17A2 which require an external D-Link DBT-122 Bluetooth Adaptor. The following wireless, commercially-available medical peripherals are supported by the HA Client Application:

  • AND UA-767PBT Blood Pressure Monitor .
  • . AND UC-321PBT Weight Scale
  • Nonin 9560 Pulse Oximeter .
  • Polymap PWR-08-03 Bluetooth Adaptor ●

Note: The application supports manually entered thermometer measurements; the choice of a thermomet is based on user preference and is independent from the HA Client Application

The HA Client Application uses the internet to route information to the HA Server via HTTPS or SSL over HTTP protocols and maintains the data stack until an acknowledgement is transmitted from the server indicating that the information is successfully persisted in the server-side database. Periodically, the client application connects to the server to resynchronize with the updates set by the Healthcare Professional including patient care settings, reminders, and notifications via a secure connection over HTTPS. All platforms noted above connect to the internet via a customer preferred option and carrier or internet service provider using off-the-shelf, FCC approved wireless/cellular/wired connectivity (including but not limited to

GPRS, CDMA, WiFi, or Wired Ethernet) which is provided through the FCC-approved host hardware platform or through an external FCC approved wireless adapter.

The HCPP web application runs in any standard web browser. HCPP enables Healthcare Professionals to perform program administration and vital signs monitoring. HCPP uses role-based controls and patient group to limit access to the patient care data; only an authorized Healthcare Professional can access patient data within a specific group of patients. HCPP users can configure patient care based on individual patient assessments.

Substantial equivalence:

The Healthanywhere System is substantially equivalent to The Hermes System (K050929) in that it allows patients to record data from equivalent devices using equivalent methods.
