Intended Use
MiPal allows the user to collect vital signs data (including noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, weight and other data from optional add-on devices). The user can then transmit the data to a central database via a communication network. Use of the system allows retrospective review of certain physiological functions by qualified health care professionals. It is not intended for real-time, emergency, or critical care monitoring of patient vital signs. The MiPal is intended for use with adult and pediatric patients over twelve years of age. SpO2 is to be used under the direction of licensed health care professionals, and is available only by or on the order of a physician.
Device Description
The MiPal is a communication hub intended to receive and transmit patient information on a retrospective basis. The device is not intended for real-time monitoring or emergency use by patients or caregivers. The MiPal is designed to optionally collect NiBP, pulse, and SpO2. It may also collect other vitals through the vitals acquisition process via Bluetooth medical peripherals. Peripherals will include: - Scale - o Glucose meter
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on data collection and transmission, not analysis or interpretation using AI/ML.

No
The primary function of the device is to collect and transmit vital signs data retrospectively for review by healthcare professionals, not to directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition. While it aids in patient monitoring, it explicitly states it is "not intended for real-time, emergency, or critical care monitoring."

No

The device collects vital signs data and transmits it for retrospective review by healthcare professionals. It explicitly states it is "not intended for real-time, emergency, or critical care monitoring," and its function as a "communication hub" for transmitting data for later review does not classify it as a device that diagnoses conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is designed to optionally collect data via "Bluetooth medical peripherals," including a scale and glucose meter. These are hardware components, indicating the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, the MiPal 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.
  • MiPal's function: The MiPal collects vital signs data (blood pressure, pulse rate, weight, SpO2, glucose) from the patient's body using non-invasive methods and external peripherals. It then transmits this data.
  • No sample analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples taken from the patient. The device is focused on collecting and transmitting physiological measurements.

Therefore, the MiPal falls under the category of a medical device that collects and transmits physiological data, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

(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).
