More Information

No
The document describes a monitoring system for physiological parameters (PCO2, SpO2, PR) and a software for data analysis and reporting. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the device's operation, data processing, or analysis. The software performs "trend reporting and statistical analysis," which are standard data processing functions, not indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The documentation states that the device is for "continuous, non-invasive patient monitoring" of parameters like carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate. Monitoring devices provide data for diagnosis and treatment decisions but do not, by themselves, provide treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The device is indicated for "continuous, non-invasive patient monitoring" and for measuring parameters like "carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate." Monitoring these physiological parameters helps clinicians diagnose a patient's condition. While the V-STATS™ software is explicitly stated not to provide diagnosis, the overall system provides data that is used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states that the system consists of a standalone monitor (SDM), digital sensors, connecting cables, and accessories, in addition to the optional V-STATS™ software. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components.

Based on the provided text, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The SenTec Digital Monitoring System is described as a system for continuous, non-invasive patient monitoring. It measures physiological parameters like carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate directly from the patient's body (ear lobe, forehead, cheek, digit) without requiring a sample to be taken and analyzed externally.

The text clearly indicates that the device is used for direct patient monitoring, not for testing samples in a laboratory setting.

Dear Mr. Gorski:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known):

DEC: - 3 2010

SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) Device Name:

Indications for use:

The SenTec Digital Monitoring System - consisting of the SenTec Digital Monitor (SDM), Sensors and Accessories - is indicated for continuous, non-invasive patient monitoring. The SenTec Digital Monitoring System is indicated for use in hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport environments, and - if under clinical supervision - home environments. The SenTec Digital Monitoring System is for prescription use only.

V-Sign™ Sensor, model VS-A/P, and V-Sign™ Sensor 2, model VS-A/P/N, are indicated for use with the SenTec Digital Monitor when continuous non-invasive monitoring of carbon dioxide tension, and pulse rate are required for adult and pediatric patients. In neonatal patients the use of V-Sign™ Sersor and of V-Sign™ Sensor 2 is indicated for carbon dioxide tension monitoring only.

SenTec's Ear Clip, model EC-MI, is intended for use with V-Sign™ Sensor or V-Sign™ Sensor 2 when continuous, non-invasive carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required. The Ear Clip is for single-patient use and is indicated to attach V-Sign™ Sensor or V-Sign™ Sensor 2 to the ear lobe of the patient. The use of the Ear Clip is contraindicated for patients whose ear-lobes are too small to ensure adequate sensor application.

SenTec's Multi-Site Attachment Rings, model MAR-MI, are intended to attach V-Sign™ Sensor or V-Sign™ Sensor 2 to conventional measurement sites for carbon dioxide tension monitoring when continuous, non-invasive carbon dioxide tension monitoring is required for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. They are intended to attach the V-Sign™ Sensor 2 to the forehead or the cheek when continuous, non-invasive carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate monitoring is required for adult and pediatric patients. The Multi-Site Attachment Rings, model MAR-SF and model MAR-MI, are for single use.

SenTec's multi-compatible and reusable SpO2 Soft Sensors, models RSS-L, RSS-M and RSS-S, are indicated for use with the monitoring devices indicated in the respective sensor directions for use when continuous noninvasive monitoring of oxygen saturation, and pulse rate are required for patients weighing more than 20 kg.

V-STATS™'Is an optional PC-based software which is indicated for use with the SenTec Digital Monitor (SDM) when remote monitoring and/or trend reporting and statistical analysis of the data measured by the SDM is required. V-STATS™ is not intended to provide diagnosis, it is intended to supplement and not to replace any part of the SDM monitoring procedures.

Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
