Intended Use
The VitalConnect Platform is a wireless monitoring system intended for use by healthcare professionals for unattended surveillance of physiological data within healthcare settings. This includes heart rate, electrocardiography (ECG), heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, activity (including step count), and posture (body position relative to gravity including fall). Data is transmitted wirelessly to a central location where it is stored for analysis. The VitalConnect Platform can be configured by Authorized Persons to notify healthcare professionals when physiological data falls outside selected parameters. The device is not intended to be used on critical care patients and is intended to supplement vital signs monitoring by healthcare professionals, not to replace current standards of care. The device is intended for use on general care patients and on patients who are 18 years of age or older. It is not intended for home use.
Device Description
The VitalConnect Platform is a wireless data collection system that monitors physiological data and consists of the following sub systems: • VitalConnect Sensor (includes adhesive Patch and Sensor Module) • Relay Software Library • Server Software Library VitalConnect Platform sub-system includes: VitalConnect Sensor . a) Patch The Patch is designed as a disposable self-adhesive interface to the body. b) Sensor Module Residing within the patch, the sensor module performs processing functions related to capture of physiological data and also performs bi-directional communication with the relay device. VitalConnect Relay Software Library ● The Relay Software Library manages bi-directional communication between the Sensor Module and the Server Software Library and is installed on a relay device. VitalConnect Secure Server Software Library . The Server Software Library is installed on a central server, manages the upload, processing and storage of sensor data, as well as real-time configuration of and notifications from the VitalConnect Platform. The VitalConnect Sensor continuously gathers physiological data from the person being monitored and then transmits encrypted data via a bi-directional relay to the central server. The VitalConnect Sensor is a battery-operated adhesive patch with integrated sensors and wireless transceiver module, worn on the torso to record heart rate, electrocardiography (ECG), heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, activity (including step count), and posture (body position relative to gravity including fall) for in-patient use.
More Information

No
The document describes a system for collecting, transmitting, and storing physiological data and providing notifications based on pre-selected parameters. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making beyond simple parameter thresholds. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a "wireless monitoring system intended for use by healthcare professionals for unattended surveillance of physiological data." Its primary function is data collection and notification, not treatment or therapy. It explicitly states it is not intended for treatment.

No
The device is a monitoring system that collects physiological data for surveillance, not to diagnose a condition. It can notify healthcare professionals when data falls outside selected parameters, which supports monitoring but does not provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the VitalConnect Platform consists of a "VitalConnect Sensor (includes adhesive Patch and Sensor Module)" which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided text, the VitalConnect Platform 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.
  • VitalConnect Platform's Function: The VitalConnect Platform directly monitors physiological data from the human body (heart rate, ECG, respiratory rate, temperature, activity, posture) using sensors applied to the skin. It does not analyze specimens derived from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "unattended surveillance of physiological data within healthcare settings" and "to supplement vital signs monitoring." This aligns with a patient monitoring system, not an IVD.

Therefore, the VitalConnect Platform falls under the category of a patient monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Sam Mostafavi:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 3, 2014.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply
