No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the device's function is limited to data transmission and does not involve measurement, interpretation, or decision-making. There is no mention of AI or ML in the document.
No
The device primarily acts as a data transmission accessory for other medical devices, allowing healthcare professionals to review historical data. It does not directly provide a therapeutic effect or intervene in the treatment of a condition.
No
The document explicitly states, "The APT does not measure, interpret, or make any decisions with respect to any of the data it transports." and "All patient medical diagnosis and treatment are to be performed under the supervision and oversight of appropriate healthcare professional." The device is a data transmission accessory for other compatible devices.
No
The device description explicitly states the Polytel® APT is contained in a "small plastic unit" with physical components like telephone jacks, a power input jack, and indicator lights, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software for data transmission.
Based on the provided information, the Polytel® APT is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed in vitro (outside the body).
- Polytel® APT Function: The Polytel® APT's primary function is to transmit data from other compatible medical devices (glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, weight scales, SpO2 devices) to a remote server. It acts as a communication gateway.
- No Specimen Testing: The APT itself does not perform any tests on human specimens. It receives pre-measured data from other devices.
- Data Transport, Not Measurement or Interpretation: The description explicitly states, "The APT does not measure, interpret, or make any decisions with respect to any of the data it transports." This is a key characteristic that differentiates it from an IVD device, which would be involved in the measurement and potentially interpretation of biological data.
Therefore, the Polytel® APT falls under the category of a data transmission or communication device for medical information, rather than an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Polytel® APT receives data wirelessly from compatible devices to transmit over the Internet or common telephone lines. The APT is an optional accessory to other Polytel® devices, including the various GMA (glucose meter accessory) models, blood pressure meter, weight scale and spot-check SpO2. The APT is intended to aid people at home and health care professionals to review and evaluate historical blood glucose, weight and blood pressure test results, to support effective health care management.
The APT does not measure, interpret, or make any decisions with respect to any of the data it transports. All patient medical diagnosis and treatment are to be performed under the supervision and oversight of appropriate healthcare professional. This device is not intended as a substitute for medical care.
Any device certified by Polymap Wireless as compatible can use the Polytel® APT to forward its data.
The device is not intended for emergency calls, and may not be used to send any real-time alarms or time-critical data. The device is not intended for use in systems set up for patients who need direct medical supervision or who might need emergency intervention.
The APT and its compatible devices must be used in conjunction with a subscription to a compatible monitoring service. The monitoring service may distribute the APT to the patient; alternatively, the patient may acquire the APT and other compatible devices and subscribe to a compatible service.
A list of compatible devices and services will be available on the Polymap Wireless website.

Device Description
The Polytel® APT device performs transmission of physiological patient information to and from wireless patient monitors and a remote data server healthcare facility over an encrypted dialup Internet connection. The APT, with its built-in telephone modem, transmits data over the public switched telephone network and the dial-up Internet.
The APT is contained in a small plastic unit, containing two standard telephone jacks for connection to standard phone outlets, a 5V power input jack for connection to an AC adapter, and four indicator lights. The indicator lights are used to show the reception of a measurement from a transmitting device, to show when the telephone line is in use, and to indicate if there has been an error (delay) in transmission.
Two server-side components are involved in the operation of the APT, the first providing a centralized configuration database, the second providing for data collection and translation to a standard protocol.
The APT device is not used directly on a patient, nor attached electrically to any device that is used directly on a patient, and poses no significant risk to the patient or other people within the patient's home.

(a)
Identification. A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.(b)
