Intended Use
Care Pal (Model no. CPW-10X) is indicated for use in non-clinical settings to collect and transmit historical medical information to healthcare professionals to help support effective management of their patients. The product is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions nor for use as a substitute for a health care professional's judgement.
Device Description
The Care Pal ("CP") remote patient monitoring system is for use in non-clinical settings as an accessory device to collect and transmit historical patient information to healthcare providers. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of external devices. The CP remote patient monitoring system serves as the remote communication link between compatible external devices and the compatible healthcare facility at another location. The product is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions nor for use as a substitute for a health care professional's judgment. The CP appliance contains software that can be activated to function with specific medical devices (including blood glucose meter, blood pressure and weight scale). The CP appliance with device connectivity retrieves data from a specific medical device and transmits to a remote healthcare provider using standard digital communication technologies. The CP appliance is not used directly on the patient, and poses no significant risk to the patient or other people within the patient's home. Care Pal provides interfaces to the following connecting peripheral devices and back end server as well a. BT Selected device (Brand/Model): weight scale, A&D/UC-321PBT - b.

No
The description focuses on data collection and transmission, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a remote patient monitoring system that collects and transmits historical medical information. It is not intended to provide automated treatment decisions or directly treat a patient.

No.
The device is described as an accessory device that collects and transmits historical patient information to healthcare providers. It is not stated to perform any diagnostic analysis or interpretation of the data itself. Its function is data transfer, supporting, but not performing, diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the "CP appliance contains software" and "The CP appliance with device connectivity retrieves data from a specific medical device and transmits to a remote healthcare provider". This indicates the presence of a physical appliance (hardware) that houses the software and facilitates connectivity, making it a hardware and software system, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Care Pal (Model no. CPW-10X) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Care Pal's Function: The Care Pal's intended use and description clearly state that it is a remote patient monitoring system that collects and transmits historical medical information from external medical devices (blood glucose meter, blood pressure, weight scale) to healthcare professionals. It does not directly analyze or process biological specimens from the patient.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The device description explicitly states it is "not used directly on the patient" and acts as a communication link between compatible external devices and the healthcare facility.

Therefore, the Care Pal falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a remote patient monitoring system accessory, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Reich:

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.
