The description focuses on data collection, storage, display, and transmission, along with basic features like reminders and communication. There is no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like pattern recognition, predictive analysis, or automated interpretation of data beyond simple threshold alerts. The emphasis is on the healthcare professional's judgment for interpreting the data.
No.
The device is described as a remote patient monitoring device that collects, stores, and transmits health data, but it explicitly states that it "is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care" and "is not intended to provide real time data."
No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The VoCare System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care..."
No
The device description explicitly states that the VoCare System consists of "VoCare 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 VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ Function: The VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ connects to and collects data from external medical devices (glucose meters, weight scales, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters). It stores, displays, and transmits this data. It does not directly analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for remote patient monitoring for chronic disease management, providing guidance, reminders, and connectivity. It explicitly states it is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care.
Therefore, the VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ is a remote patient monitoring device that utilizes data from other medical devices, but it does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing itself.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ is a remote patient monitor device available by prescription. The VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ is designed to be used in the home of a patient undergoing remote monitoring for maintenance of chronic disease. The VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ 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 VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ connects to commercially available wireless and tethered glucose meters, weight scales, blood pressure monitors and pulse oximeters. The VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ stores and displays the information on the LCD screen and transmits the information to the VoCare secure host server using FCC approved Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Healthcare professionals can review the transmitted information utilizing the VoCare Clinician Access System and set thresholds to trigger alerts based on specific thresholds being exceeded.
The VoCare 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 timecritical 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 VoCare MyHealth Tablet™ will be available in the user's manual and the VoCare website.
