The description focuses on data forwarding and messaging based on pre-configured rules, with no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML.
No
The device is described as an on-site messaging integration solution that forwards patient monitor status and alarm information to users. Its intended use is to serve as a parallel, redundant, forwarding mechanism for medical alarms and it does not alter the behavior of primary medical devices. This indicates it is a communication and notification system, not a device that directly treats or mitigates a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an on-site messaging integration solution that forwards patient monitor status and alarm information. It serves as a secondary alarm and does not alter the behavior of primary medical devices, nor does it replace their primary alarm function. Its purpose is to inform healthcare professionals, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Ascom Cardiomax hardware consists of "small, embedded network appliances, and application-specific software." It also mentions electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, which are typically performed on hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Ascom ClinicalConneX Cardiomax is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device provides an interface to forward information and serves as a parallel, redundant forwarding mechanism for alarms. It does not perform any tests on biological samples (in vitro).
- Device Description: The description details how the device acquires data from patient monitoring devices and forwards it to display devices. It does not mention any interaction with biological samples or the analysis of such samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests
The Ascom Cardiomax is a medical device, specifically a communication and alarm management system, but it operates by processing and forwarding data from other medical devices, not by performing in vitro diagnostic tests.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the Ascom ClinicalConneX Cardiomax (Cardiomax) is to provide an interface with clinical systems to forward information associated to the particular event to the designated display device(s). For medical, near real time alarms, the Ascom Cardiomax is intended to serve as a parallel, redundant, forwarding mechanism to inform healthcare professionals of particular medical related events. Ascom Cardiomax does not alter the behavior of the primary medical devices and associated alarm annunciations. The display device provides a visual, and/or audio and/or vibrating mechanism upon receipt of the alert. The Ascom Cardiomax is intended for use as a secondary alarm. It does not replace the primary alarm function on the monitor.

Device Description
The Ascom (US), Inc. (Ascom) ClinicalConneX | Cardiomax (Cardiomax) is an on-site messaging integration solution which forwards patient monitor status and alarm information to the user via display devices provided by Ascom or third-party mobile device companies. Users receive interactive, time-critical information from patient monitoring devices directly via their display devices as voice, text, alarms or data. The Ascom Cardiomax allows users to be aware of their patients' status and alarm conditions when they are away from the patient and patient monitoring system. The Ascom Cardiomax connects to the information sources through wired ethernet connections which are part of the customer's infrastructure. The Ascom Cardiomax software acquires patient data from patient monitoring devices. The user configures the Ascom Cardiomax to determine which information, including alarm notifications, is delivered to which users. The Ascom Cardiomax then formats the data for wireless delivery to the display devices. All messaging activities are recorded in the Ascom Communications Server providing real-time activity logging for audit trail records and reporting. The Ascom Cardiomax hardware consists of small, embedded network appliances, and application-specific software. The Ascom Cardiomax delivers near real-time text messaging alerts and information to text-capable display devices. Ascom provides a wireless communications system platform on which the Ascom Cardiomax may operate: DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology. The Ascom Cardiomax, combined with an Ascom wireless communication system, is part of an Ascom end-to-end solution designed to provide all the components necessary to optimize work flow, including display devices, gateways and device management.

Dear Mr. Kroenke:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 23, 2011.
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.

Page 2 - Mr. Thomas Kroenke
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
