Intended Use
EasyCare Online transfers and displays to clinicians, usage and therapeutic information that has been transmitted remotely from the patient's flow generator located in the home. EasyCare Online also provides remote settings capabilities. EasyCare Online is intended to support the standard follow-up care of patients that have been prescribed a compatible ResMed flow generator for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency.
Device Description
EasyCare Online is a web application that can transfer, store, manage and display usage and therapy data from ResMed flow generators. The data is transferred from the flow generators either wirelessly through a communications module or with the aid of an SD card, to a central database and then displayed in a clinician computer, through a web application. EasyCare Online is used to monitor and optimize the therapy of patients diagnosed with sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency, who are using a ResMed therapy device. The application enables patient usage data to be shared across several different user groups for the primary purpose of monitoring patient compliance. Clinical users, Home Medical Equipment (HME) providers and other healthcare specialists can access data to monitor patient compliance. Also, clinical users and HMEs are able to address any noncompliance issues in a timely manner and provide the necessary patient support, including the modification of device settings.

No
The description focuses on data transfer, storage, management, and display for monitoring patient compliance and adjusting device settings, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or decision-making.

No.
EasyCare Online is a web application that monitors and manages data from therapy devices, but it does not directly provide therapeutic intervention itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a web application that displays usage and therapeutic information from a remote device to clinicians. It is used to monitor and optimize therapy and patient compliance, as well as to remotely adjust device settings. It does not perform a diagnostic function but rather assists in the management of therapy after a diagnosis has already been made.

Yes

The device is described as a "web application" that transfers, stores, manages, and displays data. While it interacts with hardware (flow generators and communication modules), the device itself is the software application. The description focuses on the software's functionality and data handling, not on any hardware components of the device itself.

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: EasyCare Online is a web application that transfers, stores, manages, and displays usage and therapy data from a patient's flow generator (a medical device used for treating sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency). It also allows for remote adjustment of device settings.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description clearly states that the data is transferred from the flow generator, either wirelessly or via SD card. There is no mention of analyzing any biological samples from the patient.
  • Focus on Device Data: The primary function is to monitor and optimize the therapy provided by the flow generator, based on the device's usage and performance data.

Therefore, EasyCare Online falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring and managing therapy, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

5.1 Intended Use

EasyCare Online transfers and displays to clinicians, usage and therapeutic information that has been transmitted remotely from the patient's flow generator located in the home. EasyCare Online also provides remote settings capabilities.

EasyCare Online is intended to support the standard follow-up care of patients that have been prescribed a compatible ResMed flow generator for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency.

5.2 Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence

This modified EasyCare Online has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicated devices:

  • . Same intended use
  • Same operating principle .
  • Same technology .
  • Same manufacturing (deployment) process .

The modified EasyCare Online implemented changes to provide compatibility with the VPAP ST-A (K113288) flow generator, a device indicated for patients with respiratory insufficiency, with FDA product code 73 MNS. This addition modified the Intended Use Statement, as the condition of respiratory insufficiency was added. This change does not affect the safety and efficacy of the device, as the interface with the VPAP ST-A uses the existing data types and communications mechanisms that are utilised to interface with the flow generators already supported by the predicate devices. The modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices EasyCare Online (K093684) and ResScan (K113815) which includes compatibility with S9 AutoSet, cleared under K091947; VPAP III ST-A, cleared under K033276; and Stellar, cleared under K103167.

Design and non-clinical verification activities were performed on EasyCare Online as a result of the risk analysis and design process. Verification testing included end-to-end testing to verify data transfer integrity between the flow generator and EasyCare Online. All tests confirmed the product met the predetermined acceptance criteria. ResMed has determined that new version of EasyCare Online is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The new version of EasyCare Online has not altered safety or effectiveness.

5.3 Device Description

EasyCare Online is a web application that can transfer, store, manage and display usage and therapy data from ResMed flow generators. The data is transferred from the flow generators either wirelessly through a communications module or with the aid of an SD card, to a central database and then displayed in a clinician computer, through a web application.

EasyCare Online is used to monitor and optimize the therapy of patients diagnosed with sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency, who are using a ResMed therapy device. The application enables patient usage data to be shared across several different user groups for the primary purpose of monitoring patient compliance. Clinical users, Home Medical Equipment (HME) providers and other healthcare specialists can access data to monitor patient compliance. Also, clinical users and HMEs are able to address any noncompliance issues in a timely manner and provide the necessary patient support, including the modification of device settings.

5.4 Conclusion

The modified version of EasyCare Online is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, EasyCare Online (K093684) and ResScan (K113815).
