Tempus Pro patient monitor (K133988)
No
The summary describes a telemedicine device for vital sign monitoring and data transmission, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for data analysis or interpretation. The medical expertise is provided by human professionals at a remote center.
No
The device is described as a "portable vital signs monitor" and its intended use is to "aid with the diagnosis" by transmitting vital signs data to medical professionals. It does not provide treatment or therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The Tempus IC2 is intended to aid with the diagnosis of a person presenting as unwell or sick when they are in a location remote from immediate medical assistance."
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a portable vital signs monitor, camera, Bluetooth headset, touchscreen, battery, and communication interfaces (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular). It also mentions external wireless modules for temperature and blood glucose.
Based on the provided information, the Tempus IC2 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
- Tempus IC2 Function: The Tempus IC2 is a vital signs monitor that measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, respiration rate, ETCO2, ECG, and temperature). While it does integrate with a blood glucose meter, the core function of the Tempus IC2 itself is not to perform the blood glucose test on a sample. It receives the data from an external, unmodified glucometer.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in diagnosis by providing vital signs data to medical professionals remotely. This is different from performing a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
Therefore, the Tempus IC2 falls under the category of a vital signs monitor and telemedicine device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
"The Tempus IC2 is intended to aid with the diagnosis of a person presenting as unwell or sick when they are in a location remote from immediate medical assistance. The device allows the User to take vital signs data from a patient and to transmit that data to medical professionals located at the response centre elsewhere. Typical examples are remote land, sea or air locations. The Tempus IC2 is intended primarily to be used by medically unqualified people who have received basic training in the use of the device. Medical expertise is provided through communication with the Response Centre which would be staffed by physicians who would advise the operator on the nature of the medical incident.
The Tempus IC2 is intended to be used where a physician or other medically trained staff may or may not be present but where remote physician support is required.

Comparison with Cleared Device
RDT are moving their existing Tempus IC user interface and feature set on to their Tempus Pro hardware platform. The result of which will be a new/enhanced iteration of the existing Tempus IC product. This is a multi-parameter vital signs patient monitor (VSM) that provides a telemedicine platform for remote diagnosis. It will be based on the experience gained in the development of the current products (the Tempus IC and Tempus Pro), and includes the proprietary communications technology developed for the Tempus Pro but with a reduced feature set compared to what is offered with the Tempus Pro.
The intended use and indications for use, as well as the fundamental technology used in the Tempus IC2 device, remain essentially unchanged from the cleared Tempus IC.

In addition, reference is made to the cleared Tempus Pro patient monitor (K133988) which provides the hardware design (and consequently the burden of product verification testing) which the Tempus IC2 utilizes. The Tempus IC2 uses the majority of the Tempus Pro's hardware but does not make all the same performance claims and does not have the same Indications for Use or Intended Use and consequently a claim of substantial equivalence is not being made to the Tempus Pro.
Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
The non-clinical testing carried out is summarized in the following table:
| Area | Testing Performed |
|---|---|
| Safety | Updated certification has been obtained to IEC 60601-1 3rd ed by a |
| qualified testing laboratory. | |
| Ingress Protection | Ingress protection testing has been repeated in a qualified testing |
| laboratory. | |
| Comparative testing to | |
| predicates | Comparative testing has been performed using calibrated patient |
| simulation equipment to demonstrate that the performance of the | |
| device is equivalent to the predicates. | |
| Software | The requirements of the FDA document Guidance for the Content |
| of Premarket Submissions for Software in Pre-Market Submissions | |
| has been applied. In addition, the requirements of IEC 62304 have | |
| been addressed. | |
| Bench testing | The product has been bench tested to confirm that all data is |
| transmitted reliably and accurately. |
In each case the results of this testing confirmed that acceptance criteria defined by the relevant standard, or other appropriate reference document had been met.
With respect to usability, no additional user validation was considered necessary, as the Tempus IC2 is almost identical to the predicate Tempus Pro in terms of physical and interface features, including size and weight, user interface data layouts, button styles, menus, and layout of connectors, resulting the physical interaction with the device being unchanged.
Conclusion
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this Premarket Notification, Remote Diagnostic Technologies Limited conclude that the Tempus IC2 Patient Monitor is substantially equivalent to the unmodified version of this device and other cleared devices used as predicates.
