Intended Use
The NxStage Connected Health System is for use by chronic hemodialysis patients remotely in combination with the NxStage System One and a variety of devices such as blood pressure monitor and weight scale upon the prescription of a licensed physician or healthcare practitioner. The Connected Health System serves as the data repository and communication link to the server software which is utilized by the healthcare facility. The healthcare facility may include the physician or licensed healthcare practitioner, other clinicians, or a disease management center. The purpose of the system is to collect, accumulate, store and transmit medical information such as flowsheet data, vital signs, blood pressure, weight and dialysis data from the patient on the completion of their dialysis treatment and transmit these results to their healthcare practitioner at another facility. The system also provides online labeling, treatment status, trending and supports education and messaging. The device is not intended to provide time sensitive data or alarms and does not control the System One Cycler. This system may not be used as a substitute for direct medical intervention or emergency care. Interpretation of the information collected and transmitted requires clinical judgment by an experienced medical professional.
Device Description
The NxStage Connected Health system collects, stores, and transmits medical information such as flowsheet data, vital signs, blood pressure, weight, and dialysis data from the patients on the completion of their dialysis treatment and transmits these results to their healthcare practitioner at another facility. The system also provides online labeling, treatment status, trending and supports education and messaging. The internet server receives the patient data from the home setting or remote location where it is made available to the healthcare facility to track, graph, trend, note variances, set alert criteria, and receive alerts when parameters are outside the criteria set.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data collection, storage, transmission, and basic trending/alerting based on pre-set criteria. There is no mention of algorithms that learn or adapt from data to perform tasks like diagnosis, prediction, or automated interpretation. The summary explicitly states that interpretation requires clinical judgment.

No.
The device collects, stores, and transmits medical information but does not provide direct therapy or intervention; it is for data management and communication to support healthcare practitioners.

No.
The device collects, stores, and transmits medical information for monitoring purposes and does not interpret or diagnose medical conditions itself. It explicitly states that "Interpretation of the information collected and transmitted requires clinical judgment by an experienced medical professional." and "This system may not be used as a substitute for direct medical intervention or emergency care."

No

The device description explicitly states it is used "in combination with the NxStage System One and a variety of devices such as blood pressure monitor and weight scale". While the Connected Health System itself might be primarily software, its function and intended use are intrinsically linked to and dependent on these external hardware devices for data collection. Therefore, it is not a standalone software-only medical device.

Based on the provided text, the NxStage Connected Health System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • NxStage Connected Health System Function: The description clearly states that the system collects, stores, and transmits medical information such as flowsheet data, vital signs, blood pressure, weight, and dialysis data. It does not perform any analysis or examination of biological specimens. Its purpose is data management and communication.

Therefore, the NxStage Connected Health System falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
