Intended Use
The Patient Status Engine is a wireless remote monitoring system intended for use by healthcare professionals for continuous collection of physiological data in home and healthcare settings. This includes heart rate, heart rate variability (R-R interval), ECG derived respiration rate data (EDR), skin temperature, activity, posture and optional SpO2 and non-invasive Blood Pressure (BP). Data is transmitted wirelessly from the sensors to the Patient Gateways and from the Patient Gateways to a central Server where it is stored for analysis. The Patient Status Engine can include the ability to notify healthcare professionals when physiological data fall outside selected parameters. The device is intended for use on general care patients who are 18 years of age or older as a general patient monitor, to provide physiological information. The data from the Patient Status Engine is intended for use by healthcare professionals as an aid to diagnosis and treatment. It is not intended for use on critical care patients nor replace standard monitoring and/or routine care.

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The system focuses on data collection, transmission, storage, and basic parameter-based notifications.

No.
The device is a monitoring system intended to aid in diagnosis and treatment by collecting physiological data, not to provide therapy itself.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The data from the Patient Status Engine is intended for use by healthcare professionals as an aid to diagnosis and treatment."

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the Lifetouch Blue Sensor, Lifetemp Sensor, and optional third-party accessories like a Pulse Oximeter and Blood Pressure Monitor, in addition to software.

Based on the provided information, 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 examine specimens outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Patient Status Engine is described as a system for the continuous collection of physiological data directly from the patient's body (heart rate, respiration, temperature, activity, posture, SpO2, BP). This is done in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for monitoring physiological data and providing information to healthcare professionals as an aid to diagnosis and treatment. This is consistent with a patient monitoring system, not an IVD.
  • Components: The components listed are sensors applied to the body, a gateway for data transmission, and server software for data storage and analysis. None of these are typical components of an IVD test kit or analyzer that processes biological samples.

Therefore, the Patient Status Engine falls under the category of a patient monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The Patient Status Engine passed all the testing in accordance with internal requirements, national standards, and international standards to support substantial equivalence of the subject device:

10. Clinical Performance Data

There was no human clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device. These types of devices, including the predicate devices, have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy for the device. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.

11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise additional questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

lt has been shown through the documents provided in this 510(k) submission that the minor differences between the Patient Status Engine and the predicate devices Vital Connect Platform/Healthpatch MD/VitalPatch do not raise any new questions regarding its safety and performance.

The Patient Status Engine has the same intended use and the same or similar indications for use and technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, Vital Connect Platform/Healthpatch MD/VitalPatch.

The Patient Status Engine as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
