Intended Use
CareAware Event Management™ is a software application intended to provide healthcare professionals with supplemental information about events and alarms originating from medical devices, or other event or alarm producing systems within a clinical setting. This device can route notifications including all or a subset of the event or alarm information along with related contextual information to selected end points such as but not limited to mobile phones, or other computing or communications end points. Receipt of notifications by the end point is not confirmed, and delivery to the end point is not guaranteed. The primary alarm notification is the device or system producing the alarm or event. This device is not intended to provide real-time information, nor is it a source of patient alarms, nor is it a replacement for alarming devices. CareAware Event Management™ is not intended to directly monitor, diagnose or treat patients or to be used in the prevention of a disease or condition, nor does CareAware Event Management™ come into direct contact with patients.

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on routing and notification, not analysis or learning.

No
The "Intended Use" section clearly states, "CareAware Event Management™ is not intended to directly monitor, diagnose or treat patients or to be used in the prevention of a disease or condition." This indicates it is not a therapeutic device.

No
Justification: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "CareAware Event Management™ is not intended to directly monitor, diagnose or treat patients or to be used in the prevention of a disease or condition." This directly negates its function as a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "CareAware Event Management™ is a software application". The intended use and device description focus solely on the software's function of routing notifications and do not mention any accompanying hardware components developed or included as part of this specific device submission. While it interacts with other devices and endpoints, the submitted device itself is described as software.

Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that CareAware Event Management™ is a software application that routes notifications about events and alarms from medical devices and other systems. It does not interact with or analyze human specimens.
  • IVDs are used to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. While this device provides supplemental information to healthcare professionals, it explicitly states it is "not intended to directly monitor, diagnose or treat patients or to be used in the prevention of a disease or condition."
  • The device does not come into direct contact with patients. While not a definitive characteristic of all IVDs, it further supports that this device is not involved in the direct analysis of patient samples.

The function of CareAware Event Management™ is to facilitate communication and information flow within a clinical setting, not to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Dear Shelley Looby:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

1

the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
