No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multi-parameter vital signs monitor" and lists various hardware components and functionalities (ECG monitoring, NIBP, SpO2, etc.), indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Tempus Pro is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Tempus Pro Function: The Tempus Pro is a vital signs monitor. It measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (ECG, blood pressure, SpO2, temperature, CO2, invasive pressure, respiration). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states monitoring of vital signs in clinical and pre-hospital care. This involves direct patient contact and measurement of physiological signals.

Therefore, the Tempus Pro falls under the category of a patient monitoring device, not an IVD.

5.5 Comparison with Cleared Device

The intended use and indications for use, plus the fundamental technology used in the Tempus Pro device, remain essentially unchanged by the addition of optional enhanced software feature to the ECG monitoring capability, which is specifically:

  • . Arrhythmia detection and alarms
  • ST Elevation and depression measurement and alarms 트
  • I QT Interval measurement and alarm

5.6 Substantial Equivalence

In adding these optional features, substantial equivalence to the previously cleared Tempus Pro (K130773) has been claimed as well as substantial equivalence to the following predicate devices:

  • . Arrhythmia detection - Mindray iPM Patient Monitor (K123074)
    • Schiller Welch Allyn 1500 Patient Monitor (K101619)
    • Mortara surveyor central system (K131929)
  • I QT and ST measurement - Philips Medical IntelliVue Patient Monitor MP2 (K120366)

With respect to arrhythmia analysis and alarms, ST elevation and QT interval measurements, the implementation of algorithms utilized in previously 510(k) cleared devices, plus the additional alarm feature, were evaluated in accordance with FDA guidance on arrhythmia detection and alarm.

This guidance calls for use of the FDA recognized consensus standard EC57 (FDA Rec No: 3-118), which defines methods of presenting results when testing against specified ECG databases. A summary report demonstrating compliance with the guidance and associated standard is presented as part of this 510(k) submission.
