The document mentions "arrhythmia analysis algorithms" and "trending and data management techniques consistent with industry practice," but does not explicitly mention or describe the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on standards and verification/validation, not on training or testing of AI/ML models.
No
Explanation: This device is a central monitoring system that acquires and analyzes physiological data and provides alarms. It does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
The device is a central monitoring station that processes and displays data from other patient monitors. While it provides real-time monitoring and alarms for physiological data and can include modules for arrhythmia and ST analysis, the information explicitly states that clinicians are responsible for determining the clinical significance and that no clinical studies were used to obtain safety or effectiveness data in terms of diagnosis. It is a monitoring system, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Acuity System "consists of a central monitoring station, Acuity System software and a collection of other commercially available networking products." This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just the software.
Based on the provided information, the Acuity® Central Monitoring Station is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality.
- Acuity's Function: The Acuity® Central Monitoring Station is a system that receives and processes physiological data (waveforms, vital signs, etc.) from patient monitors that are directly connected to the patient. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the central monitoring of patients in healthcare facilities, providing clinicians with real-time and historical physiological data, alarms, and alerts. This is a form of patient monitoring, not in vitro testing.
Therefore, the Acuity® Central Monitoring Station falls under the category of patient monitoring devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Acuity® Central Monitoring Station is intended to be used by clinicians for the central monitoring of neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients in health care facilities.
In addition to the central monitoring of patient data, waveforms, alarms and alerts, the Acuity software can include operational modules to provide extended recording of patient data (Full Disclosure), arrhythmia monitoring and ST analysis.
- Full disclosure stores patient data for up to 96 hours.
- Arrhythmia monitoring module provides real-time monitoring and alarms for specific changes in cardiac rhythms. The clinician is responsible for determining the clinical significance of each detected arrhythmia event or alarm. The arrhythmia module is not intended for use with neonatal patients.
- ST analysis module provides real-time monitoring and alarms for ST segment deviations, from a reference beat, for patients with suspected heart disease and anomalies. The clinician is responsible for determining the clinical significance of each selected ST segment deviation or alarm. The ST analysis module is not intended for use with neonatal patients.

Device Description
The Acuity® Central Monitoring System (Acuity System) is Welch Allyn's central monitoring solution. It consists of a central monitoring station, Acuity System software and a collection of other commercially available networking products.
The Acuity System is intended for use by clinicians for the central monitoring of neonatal, pediatric and adult patients in health care facilities. The system connects to a network of patient monitors to record and analyze physiological data being acquired by the monitors. This solution leverages networking and connectivity to obtain and distribute patient information where and when needed. The overall performance of the networked system is based upon trending and data management techniques consistent with industry practice and applicable standards.
The Acuity System is available in multiple product configurations. Acuity Systems can be customized to meet a customer's unique needs based on hospital policy, health care facility size and patient census and floor layout. In all cases, the user must carefully review the features and functionality of the Acuity System to ensure that selected configurations meet specific clinical needs. The Acuity System supports patient information management, patient vital-sign alarm and equipment alert management, patient data and waveform monitoring and review, system administration and ongoing service. Acuity System software modules and devices support adult, pediatric and neonatal patients, except where indicated below. Acuity System software can include the following optional modules:
- · The Full Disclosure module stores patient data for up to 96 hours.
- · The Arrhythmia Analysis module provides real-time monitoring and alarms for specific changes in cardiac rhythms. The clinician is responsible for determining the clinical significance of each detected arrhythmia event or alarm. The Arrhythmia Analysis module is not intended for use with neonatal patients.
- · The ST Analysis module provides real-time monitoring and alarms for STsegment deviations for patients with suspected heart disease and anomalies. The clinician is responsible for determining the clinical significance of each selected ST-segment deviation or alarm. The ST Analysis option is not intended for use with neonatal patients.
- · The Welch Allyn Connectivity Server (WACS) module consists of a server platform on which one or more of the following software options are installed: Web Server (Acuity System patient printout files available on Web browsers), AcuityLink® (Acuity System patient information delivered to mobile devices) with Clinician Notifier Barcode Interface, HL7 Interface options, and Third Party Data Stream Interface.
Acuity System software further processes data acquired from patient monitors. Acuity Systems with the Arrhythmia Analysis module calculates heart rate using multiple ECG leads and arrhythmia analysis algorithms
The Acuity System is not directly connected to patients. It is designed to be used as a central monitoring system for a set of patient monitors that support both continuously and intermittently acquired data. Supported monitors include, but are not limited to, the following Welch Allyn devices: Propaq® Encore, Propaq CS, Propaq LT, Micropage, and the Welch Allyn 1500 Patient Monitor, as configured to interface with the Acuity System.
