Intended Use
The Unity Network ID is indicated for use in data collection and clinical information management through networks with independent bedside devices. The Unity Network ID is not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices (independent bedside devices/ information systems) it is connected to.
Device Description
The Unity Network ID system communicates patient data from sources other than GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, Inc. equipment to a clinical information system, central station, and/or GE Medical Systems Information Technologies Inc. patient monitors. The Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports, converts the data to Unity Network protocols, and transmits the data over the monitoring network to a Unity Network device such as a patient monitor, clinical information system or central station.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data communication and conversion, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like learning, prediction, or complex data analysis beyond simple protocol conversion. The performance studies also focus on standard software and hardware testing, not AI/ML model validation.

No.
The document clearly states that the device is for "data collection and clinical information management" and is "not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices". It acts as a communication hub for patient data, not a direct therapeutic intervention device.

No

The device is described as collecting and transmitting patient data from independent bedside devices to clinical information systems or patient monitors. It does not perform any analysis or interpretation of the data to arrive at a diagnosis. Its function is data management and communication, not diagnostic evaluation.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports and converts it, indicating the presence of hardware components (serial ports and conversion circuitry) beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Unity Network ID is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "data collection and clinical information management through networks with independent bedside devices." This describes a system for managing and transmitting patient data, not for performing tests on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on acquiring digital data from serial ports, converting it to a specific protocol, and transmitting it. This is a data communication and management function, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Providing diagnostic or monitoring information based on the analysis of biological samples

The Unity Network ID appears to be a data networking and integration device used within a clinical setting to facilitate the flow of information from various bedside devices to other systems. This falls outside the scope of an IVD.

Dear Robert Casarsa.

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.
