Intended Use
The Wireless Monitoring System is intended for use by health care professionals for routine surveillance of patient physiological parameters to include, pulse rate, respiratory rate and axillary temperature, in a hospital setting. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a central location. Notifications can be prospectively set to notify healthcare professionals to excursions outside of selected parameters. The device is not intended to be used on critical care patients and is intended to supplement vital signs monitoring by healthcare professionals, not to replace current standards of care. The device is intended for use on general care patients and on patients who are 18 years of age or older.
Device Description
The proposed device consists of a patient patch with integrated temperature sensor, an electronic bridge and server software. The patch is attached to the patient and connected to existing monitoring leads to capture heart rate, respiration and body temperature. This data is wirelessly transmitted to a bridge. Multiple bridges can be installed in a hospital setting to capture signals in case the patient is moved or becomes ambulatory. Data from the patch is transmitted through a hard-wire connection to the nurses' station for surveillance. The healthcare practitioner can set limits on the patient data which in turn may trigger an alert.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard wireless monitoring system with data transmission and user-defined alerts. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any algorithms that learn or adapt.

No
The device is a monitoring system that collects physiological parameters for surveillance, not to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No

The device is intended for "routine surveillance of patient physiological parameters" and "to supplement vital signs monitoring," not to diagnose conditions. Notifications are for "excursions outside of selected parameters," which is monitoring, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "patient patch with integrated temperature sensor, an electronic bridge and server software," indicating the presence of hardware components in addition to software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The described device is a Wireless Monitoring System that measures physiological parameters (pulse rate, respiratory rate, axillary temperature) directly from the patient's body using a patch and existing monitoring leads. It transmits this data wirelessly for surveillance.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the collection or analysis of any biological samples from the patient. It directly measures vital signs from the body surface.

Therefore, because the device operates by directly monitoring physiological parameters from the patient's body rather than analyzing samples taken from the body, it falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Pokrop:

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 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. 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
