The description focuses on monitoring patient orientation and activity based on pre-set thresholds and providing alerts. There is no mention of learning from data, adapting algorithms, or using complex pattern recognition beyond simple threshold comparisons, which are characteristic of AI/ML. The "Not Found" entries for mentions of AI/ML, training/test sets, and key metrics further support this conclusion.
No.
The device monitors patient orientation and activity to aid in preventing pressure ulcers, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition. Its function is primarily diagnostic and preventative in nature, not therapeutic.
No
The device monitors patient orientation and activity to aid in turn management and pressure ulcer prevention. It does not diagnose any medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of hardware components including "Patient Sensors, Leaf Antennas, and USB RF Transceivers," in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, the Leaf Patient Monitoring System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Leaf System Function: The Leaf Patient Monitoring System monitors the physical orientation and activity of a patient by adhering to their skin. It does not analyze any biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor patient position and activity to aid in pressure ulcer prevention, not to diagnose or monitor a disease through analysis of biological specimens.
Therefore, the Leaf Patient Monitoring System falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System is a medical device designed for use in hospitals, nursing homes, or other patient care facilities to monitor and report body orientation and activity, as well as to provide visual alerts for orientations and activity levels that fall outside of thresholds set by healthcare providers. The use of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System provides for continuous monitoring of patient position and allows caregivers to easily identify patients that are in need of caregiver-assisted turns according to the institution's guidelines or protocols. The use of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System can increase compliance with the care facility's prescribed patient tuning schedule and thereby may aid in the prevention of pressure ulcers.
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System is comprised of Patient Sensors, Leaf Antennas, and USB RF Transceivers, Turn Management Software, and a User Interface that can be viewed on a monitoring station. Each Leaf Patient Sensor is associated with a single patient, such that the patient's orientation, movements, and other care parameters can be monitored.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System monitors the orientation and activity of patients susceptible to pressure ulcers. It allows healthcare providers to implement individualized turn management plans and continuously monitor each patient. The Leaf Patient Monitoring System provides alerts when patient orientation or activity deviates from parameters set by healthcare providers. The device is intended for use in medical, nursing and long-term care facilities, including independent living, assisted-living and rehabilitation facilities.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System is a medical device designed for use in hospitals, nursing homes, or other patient care facilities to monitor and report body orientation and activity, as well as to provide visual alerts for orientations and activity levels that fall outside of thresholds set by healthcare providers. The use of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System provides for continuous monitoring of patient position and allows caregivers to easily identify patients that are in need of caregiver-assisted turns according to the institution's guidelines or protocols. The use of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System can increase compliance with the care facility's prescribed patient tuning schedule and thereby may aid in the prevention of pressure ulcers.
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System is comprised of Patient Sensors, Leaf Antennas, and USB RF Transceivers, Turn Management Software, and a User Interface that can be viewed on a monitoring station. Each Leaf Patient Sensor is associated with a single patient, such that the patient's orientation, movements, and other care parameters can be monitored.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Leaf Patient Sensor is a small, disposable sensor that adheres to a patient's skin, much like a standard electrocardiogram (EKG) lead. Once the Leaf Patient Sensor is applied to a particular patient, it continuously monitors the patient's orientation and movements and communicates this data wirelessly (via the Leaf Antennas) to a monitoring station that is equipped with a USB RF Transceiver and the Leaf Turn Management Software. The Leaf Turn Management Software collects and records all data for the Patient Sensors. Data for all monitored patients is ultimately displayed on the Leaf User Interface. Through the Leaf User Interface, caregivers can associate Patient Sensors with specific patients and also set individualized care parameters.
Multiple Leaf Antennas are installed throughout a monitoring environment to ensure adequate wireless coverage for a given area, such as a hospital ward or nursing unit.
Compared to the predecessor Centauri DynaSense device, the Leaf Patient Monitoring System has been updated with several minor modifications. These include updated aesthetics of the user interface, minor changes to the display features for user convenience and related software updates. The adhesive used to apply the device to the patient is unchanged, but a non-adhesive frame has been added around the adhesive to facilitate device removal from the patient's skin.

LABELING
One contraindication from the predicate IFU pertaining to the use of the system's sensor in patients who have a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), has been removed. Leaf Healthcare determined the system's sensor may be safely used in this subpopulation of patients, when an appropriate warning statement is provided to the user. A warning statement has been added to the IFU in order to safely enable the use of the device in this subpopulation of patients.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Aside from minor semantic differences such as the product name change, the indications for use for the Leaf Patient Monitoring System are identical to the indications for use for the predicate DynaSense System. The Leaf Patient Monitoring System and the predicate DynaSense System have the same intended use. The minor differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy. Leaf Healthcare analyzed the removal of the contraindication and addition of the warning statement to enable use of the device in patients with a pacemaker/ICD, and determined that these modifications raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Leaf Patient Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION
All necessary bench testing was conducted on the Leaf Patient Monitoring System to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Nonclinical Testing Summary:
The nonclinical, bench testing included:
- . System performance testing;
- Software verification; ●
- 0 Electrical Safety and EMC.
The collective results of the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the collective nonclinical testing results demonstrate that the Leaf Patient Monitoring System does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness for monitoring patient activity when compared to the predicate device.
CONCLUSION
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System and the predicate DynaSense System have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics. The minor differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy. Device safety and performance testing have demonstrated that the Leaf Patient Monitoring System performs as intended in its intended use environment, and support the device performs at least as safely and effectively as the predicate DynaSense System.

SUMMARY
The Leaf Patient Monitoring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
