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.
