No
The summary describes a remote patient monitoring system that collects, stores, and transmits physiological data. It mentions data transmission, storage, display, and setting limits for notifications, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis, interpretation, or prediction.
No.
The device facilitates monitoring and transmission of data for remote management of health status and chronic diseases, and provides information to assist with treatment programs, but itself does not actively treat or directly provide therapy.
Yes
The device monitors and displays vital signs/health parameters, records and transmits data for various physiological parameters (blood pressure, glucose, oximetry, heart rate, lung function, body temperature, and weight). While it does not offer critical care or emergency support and requires professional medical interpretation, it provides information to assist with an appropriate treatment program or further investigation, which are characteristics of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "ergonomic design table top device with a touch screen and associated measurement components that may be integral or connected to it wirelessly or by cable." It also mentions a "medical grade power supply" and connections for "tethered external measurement modules." This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The TeleMedCare Health Monitor focuses on monitoring and transmitting physiological parameters measured directly from the patient's body (blood pressure, glucose, oximetry, heart rate, lung function, temperature, weight). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate monitoring and transmission to a remote server of certain physiological parameters relevant to the remote management of health status and chronic disease conditions." This aligns with remote patient monitoring, not in vitro analysis.
- Device Description: The description details the device's components for direct measurement (touch screen, associated measurement components) and data transmission, not for handling or analyzing biological specimens.
The device is clearly designed for remote patient monitoring of vital signs and health parameters measured directly from the patient, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
The TeleMedCare Health Monitor is designed to be used in the home or community setting to enable remote care management of patients with chronic illness.
The TeleMedCare Health Monitor is an ergonomic design table top device with a touch screen and associated measurement components that may be integral or connected to it wirelessly or by cable. After measurements are recorded, the data is viewed and stored on the device then automatically transmitted via telephone modem or local area network (LAN) to a secure remote server. This data is then able to be viewed remotely over the web by the user's health care professional to assist them with chronic care management. Access to information stored and processed by the device is by means of password protection, encryption and use of collocated secure servers.
The device also provides a means of messaging and video teleconferencing between the patient and carer to discuss their health and treatment. Questionnaires may also be configured by the carer to gauge other aspects of a patients well being.
TeleMedCare software, captures, stores and transmits health data and access controlled carer's may set upper and lower limits to allow notification to them when these limits are exceeded to review health care management. The device however does not offer critical care or emergency support and requires professional medical interpretation for treatment of prescribed users.
The System has functionality and devices to record, store and transmit data for body blood pressure, glucose and oximetry, heart rate (ECG), lung function (Spirometry), body temperature and weight.
Power to the device is supplied by a medical grade power supply delivering 12 volts D.C to the system via a cable plugged into the back of the unit along with connection to tethered external measurement modules and the internet. The TeleMedCare Health Monitor has been tested and complies with international standards for electrical and electrocardiograph safety, electromagnetic compatibility and telecommunication standards.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The TeleMedCare Health Monitor has undergone extensive internal bench testing, independent clinical trials and product evaluations by various health institutions and government and nongovernment organizations since it the first version of it was introduced in Australia in 2001. Since then hundreds of thousands of measurements have reliably been accumulated and reported to professional health providers without a single device recall. The device is currently CE marked and cleared for use in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
