The document describes a vital signs monitor with standard measurement capabilities and data transmission features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced analytical techniques beyond custom calculations based on user-defined parameters.
No.
The device is described as a monitor intended for measuring and monitoring vital signs and does not describe any specific therapeutic action.
No
The device monitors vital signs and provides custom calculations and data management, but it does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "integrated, configurable monitor" and mentions "sensor/processing technology integrated into the base unit" for vital sign measurements (NIBP, SpO2, Thermometer). This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
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 detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Connex Spot Monitor measures vital signs directly from the patient's body (non-invasive blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, and temperature). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring vital signs in patients, not analyzing samples from patients.
- Device Description: The description details the sensors and technology used to measure vital signs directly from the patient.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on device safety, software validation, and non-clinical tests related to the device's function and standards compliance, not on the accuracy of analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the Connex Spot Monitor is a patient monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Connex Spot monitors are intended to be used by clinicians and medically qualified personnel for monitoring of noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, noninvasive functional oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin (SpO2), and body temperature in normal and axillary modes of neonatal, pediatric and adult patients. The most likely locations for patients to be monitored are general med/surg. floors, general hospital and alternate care environments.

Device Description
The Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor (CSM) is an integrated, configurable monitor designed to facilitate the workflows of its users.
The Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor is intended to be used by clinicians and medically qualified personnel for measuring or monitoring patient vital signs. The particular vital sign measurements available are determined by the sensor/processing technology integrated into the base unit including;
- . NIBP, provides measurements of noninvasive blood pressure and pulse rate,
- . SpO2 , provides pulse rate and noninvasive functional oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin,
- . Thermometer measures temperature, e.g., in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients.
- . The Custom Scores option provides custom calculations based on patient vital sign values and modifiers determined by the user.
The CSM can also display and transmit patient data that is electronically or manually entered from external and accessory devices, e.g., weight and height data, barcode scanner, and other patient or facility information. Data can be transmitted electronically via USB, wired Ethernet, or wireless communications including Bluetooth, for example, to electronic record systems and for remote display and alarming (e.g., central station).

This system is not intended to be used:
- · on patients connected to heart/lung machines
- · on patients being transported outside a healthcare facility
- near an MRI machine
- in a hyperbaric chamber
- near flammable anesthetics
- · near electro-cauterization devices
For contraindications of SpO2 sensors, consult the sensor manufacturer's directions for use.
Technological Characteristics:
The CSM is essentially the same device as the CVSM offering utilizing a subset of Spot check only sensors in a slightly different form factor. There are three main technological differences from the predicate CVSM. Instead of utilizing interchangeable modules, the CSM integrates many of the vital sign features into the device. In addition, the CSM and the CVSM utilize different operating systems. Finally, the CSM adds the option of having wireless Bluetooth capability in addition to wireless radio. CSM can be configured to have custom scoring that is determined by the customer.
Performance Data:
Biocompatibility testing
The CSM does not contact the patient. The accessories used with the CSM have been cleared under previous 510(k)'s and have been tested in accordance with ISO-10993.

Device Comparison
The Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor is substantially equivalent to the Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 6000 Series monitor (K132808) The indications for use of the indications for use of the indications for use of the CVSM. The CSM is able to capture the vital sign measurements of SpO2, blood pressure and temperature. The algorithms for these vital signs measurement are unchanged from CVSM. The CSM vital signs technologies are integrated into the device. The CSM can be configured with custom scores, wireless radio and Bluetooth. The CSM provides three SpO2 options compared to two in the CVSM.
Similarities between the subject device and the predicate device. The subject device and the predicate device have the same :
- . NIBP Technology
- . SpO2 Technology (Masimo, Covidien)
- . Temperature Technology
- Wireless radio communication
- . LCD touch screen
Differences between the subject device and the predicate device. The subject device has the following:
- Linux operating system
- Integrated technology

Conclusion
Based on the information presented in this 510(k) premarket notification the Connex® Spot Monitor (CSM) is considered substantially equivalent. The CSM is as safe and effective as the currently marketed CVSM predicate device (K132808). The differences between the hardware, software, and mechanical aspects of the CSM and the predicate CVSM device were successfully tested with the relevant standards and FDA guidance, and does not affect equivalent safety and effectiveness or raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
