Intended Use
The Bedside Paediatric Early Warning System (BedsidePEWS™) is an electronic documentation tool that is designed to be used in conjunction with multi-parameter patient monitoring. It is indicated for use by healthcare professionals with paediatric patients between the ages of term newborn (>37 weeks gestational age) and 18 years, who are hospitalized with any medical or surgical condition. BedsidePEWS™ allows input by the healthcare professional of commonly recorded vital sign data and provides clinician with a patient status index (the "BedsidePEWS™ score") based on a weighted average of seven vital signs when entered by the clinician, namely Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, Oxygen Saturation, Oxygen Therapy, Respiratory Effort, and Capillary Refill. The "BedsidePEWS™ score" is a single measure of a patient's condition and indicates the variation in the patient's vital signs with respect to normality. BedsidePEWS™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring. BedsidePEWS™ is intended for use in wards and the emergency rooms in hospitals that provide care for children between the ages of term newborn (>37 weeks gestational age) and 18 years. It is not intended for use in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Device Description
The product is a web-based clinical decision-support tool that can also be run as a standalone application for use on computers running Microsoft Software Operating features with a local network connection, which access medical data. It is also interfaces to other medical automation systems such as Hospital Information System (HIS), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), and Practice Management Software. The software device consists of a SQL compatible database that provides access to the patient specific information and allows clinicians to input patient data (i.e. heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, oxygen therapy, respiratory effort, and capillary refill time) to deliver actionable information, such as recommended follow-up and/or guideline for further and subsequent clinical assessments, and analytics of patients through real-time vital signs monitoring algorithm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and the scoring mechanism is described as a "weighted average" of vital signs, which is a deterministic algorithm, not AI/ML.

No
The device is a clinical decision-support tool that calculates a patient status index (BedsidePEWS™ score) based on vital signs; it is an adjunct tool and not intended to directly diagnose, treat, or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an "electronic documentation tool" and a "web-based clinical decision-support tool" that provides a patient status index ("BedsidePEWS™ score") based on entered vital sign data. While it helps identify patients at risk, it is explicitly stated that "BedsidePEWS™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring" and it provides "actionable information, such as recommended follow-up and/or guideline for further and subsequent clinical assessments", rather than providing a definitive diagnosis itself.

Yes

The device is described as a "web-based clinical decision-support tool" and a "standalone application" that runs on computers. It interfaces with existing medical automation systems and uses a database for patient information and data input. While it relies on input from multi-parameter patient monitoring and interfaces with other systems, the device itself is presented as software that processes and displays data, without including any hardware components as part of its defined scope. The mention of "Ability to display multimodality images: Yes" refers to a software capability, not a hardware component included in the device.

Based on the provided information, the Bedside Paediatric Early Warning System (BedsidePEWS™) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • BedsidePEWS™ Function: BedsidePEWS™ is a software tool that processes vital sign data (Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, etc.) which are obtained through patient monitoring, not from the examination of specimens in vitro. It uses this data to calculate a score and provide clinical decision support.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "electronic documentation tool" used "in conjunction with multi-parameter patient monitoring" and is an "adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring." This reinforces its role in processing in vivo data.

Therefore, BedsidePEWS™ falls under the category of a clinical decision support software or a medical device that processes physiological data, rather than an IVD.
