No
The document describes a system for routing, storing, and displaying medical device data, alarms, and alerts. It focuses on data management, visualization, and basic calculations, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, prediction, or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a software system for routing, storing, managing, and displaying medical device data, waveforms, and alarms, aimed at facilitating remote viewing and collaboration for patient monitoring. It explicitly states it is a "notification system" and "not replacements for direct patient observation, patient assessment or clinical judgment," which indicates it does not directly treat or diagnose conditions.

No

The device is a notification and display system for medical device data. It facilitates remote viewing of patient data, waveforms, alerts, and alarms from supported devices, but it does not perform diagnostic functions itself. It explicitly states it is "not replacements for direct patient observation, patient assessment or clinical judgment."

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The subject Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager (IM) & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform VPMP) is a software only device".

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform is described as software that routes, stores, and displays medical device data and device diagnostic information. It provides visual and audible renderings of physiologic data, waveforms, alarms, and alerts from supported devices.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to remotely view and review patient data from supported devices, facilitate remote collaboration, access processed parameters, and set/adjust alert thresholds on devices.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of the device analyzing or processing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is centered around managing and displaying data generated by other medical devices that are directly connected to the patient.

Therefore, the Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform falls under the category of medical device data management and display systems, not in vitro diagnostics.
