The summary describes a standard vital signs monitoring system that collects and displays physiological parameters. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, performance studies, or any other section. The testing focuses on standard medical device performance and safety, not on the validation of an AI/ML algorithm.
No
This device is described as a "Patient Monitoring System" intended for "monitoring physiologic parameters." Its function is to measure and display vital signs, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The device monitors physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, and temperature) to provide information that can be used for diagnosis or to guide treatment.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a mobile medical application and externally integrated vital signs modules, a mobile platform, and a roll stand, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "monitoring physiologic parameters" such as blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, and temperature. These are measurements taken directly from the patient's body, not from samples of bodily fluids or tissues.
- Device Description: The device description details the components, which are all related to taking direct physiological measurements (NIBP module, SpO2 cable, thermometer).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SmartLinx Vitals Plus system directly measures vital signs from the patient, which falls under the category of patient monitoring devices, not IVDs.
