Intended Use
Elcam Vital Signs Wireless System is indicated for use on patients requiring pressure monitoring. Elcam Vital Signs Wireless System is intended to perform wireless transmission of pressure information to remote patient monitors from disposable pressure transducers.
Device Description
Elcam Vital Signs Wireless System utilizes the Bluetooth® communications Protocol in order to eliminate the multi-conductor, fixed length and shielded reusable cables that typically acts as the interface between the patient's bedside monitor and disposable transducer. The disposable transducer will simply plugs into the system's remote transmitter unit, which sends its output signal to the system's receiver unit affixed to the bedside monitor. The wireless system is intended to operate at varying distances to accommodate typical layouts that exist within hospital operating rooms, critical care units, emergency rooms and catheterization lab suites.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a wireless pressure monitoring system that transmits data using Bluetooth. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data processing beyond transmission.

No
The device is described as a wireless system for transmitting pressure information from disposable transducers to remote patient monitors. Its purpose is to facilitate monitoring, not to directly treat or diagnose a condition.

Yes

The device is intended for "pressure monitoring" and performs "wireless transmission of pressure information". While it doesn't diagnose a disease itself, it provides physiological data (pressure) that can be used by healthcare professionals for diagnostic purposes or monitoring patient conditions, which falls under the broader definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "remote transmitter unit" and a "receiver unit," which are hardware components. The system is described as utilizing these hardware units for wireless transmission of pressure information.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "pressure monitoring" on patients and "wireless transmission of pressure information to remote patient monitors from disposable pressure transducers." This describes a system that measures a physiological parameter (pressure) directly from the patient's body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that interfaces with a "disposable pressure transducer" which plugs into a "remote transmitter unit." This further supports the idea of direct physiological measurement.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on the analysis of such samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

(a)
Identification. A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Safety & Effectiveness

The proposed and predicate devices are similar in design, materials of construction, components, intended use and labeling.

Based on the performance results provided (including test results and clinical data) and the analysis of similarities and differences presented above, Elcam Medical believes that the proposed device safe & effectiveness is substantially equivalent to the predicate device without raising new safety and/or effectiveness issues.

Rational for Substantial Equivalency

Elcam Vital Signs Wireless System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to the following characteristics:

  • I . Wireless transmission of physiological characteristics from the patient to the receiver monitor units.
    1. Replaces the existing cabling between disposable physiological transducers and bedside monitors in hospital settings.
    1. Utilization of the Bluetooth® Technology for wireless transmission of physiological signals.

The claim for substantial equivalence is supported by the information provided in the 510(k) submission

Substantial Equivalence Statement

Based on the above, it is Elcam Medical's opinion that the proposed Vital Signs Wireless System is substantially equivalent in terms design principles, performance features and of safety & effectiveness to the legally cleared predicate device (K090610) referred to in chapter 4 of this 510(K) submission.
