Intended Use
The Waldo Patient Monitor is a remote patient monitor device available by prescription. The Waldo Patient Monitor is designed to be used in the home of a patient undergoing remote monitoring for maintenance of chronic disease. The Waldo Patient Monitor provides guidance in operating medical sensor devices, reminders for medication compliance and connectivity to healthcare professionals through text messaging and real-time video conferencing technology. The Waldo Patient Monitor connects to commercially available wireless and tethered glucose meters, weight scales, blood pressure monitors and pulse oximeters. The Waldo Patient Monitor stores and displays the information on the LCD screen and transmits the information to the Waldo Health secure host server using connectivity including, but not limited to, FCC approved Wi-Fi, Cellular Wireless Internet or Ethernet. Healthcare professionals can review the transmitted information utilizing the Waldo Health Clinician Access System and set thresholds to trigger alerts based on specific thresholds being exceeded. The Waldo Health System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care, and it is not intended to provide real time data. The data is made available to the patients when time-critical care is not required. The device is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention. The system is intended for patients who are willing and capable of managing its use. Judgment and experience by a caregiver or by a family member are required to check and interpret the information delivered. A list of devices that are compatible with the Waldo Patient Monitor will be available in the user's manual and the Waldo Health website.

No
The description focuses on data collection, storage, display, and transmission, along with basic threshold-based alerts. There is no mention of algorithms that learn or adapt from data, which are characteristic of AI/ML. The emphasis is on providing data for human interpretation and clinical judgment.

No
The device is a remote patient monitor that collects and transmits data and provides communication tools, but it explicitly states that it is "not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care".

No
The "Intended Use" section explicitly states, "The Waldo Health System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care..."

No

The device description explicitly states that the Waldo Health System consists of "Waldo Health System Hardware," which is a physical electronic device with a touch screen, camera, microphone, speaker, and various connectors. This indicates it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided text, the Waldo Patient Monitor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Waldo Patient Monitor Function: The Waldo Patient Monitor connects to and collects data from other medical devices (glucose meters, weight scales, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters). It stores, displays, and transmits this data. It also provides guidance, reminders, and communication tools.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The Waldo Patient Monitor itself does not perform any tests on biological samples. It relies on the connected devices to generate the data.

Therefore, the Waldo Patient Monitor falls under the category of a remote patient monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
