The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The device is not intended for use on critical care patients, and is not a real time or remote diagnostic device." While it can be an "aid to diagnosis" in clinical research, its primary purpose is data collection for research applications, and it's explicitly stated not to be a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "body-worn Wearable Sensor Patches (WSPs)", a "Tablet with Investigator Application", a "Mobile Phone Link Application", and a "Link Hub". These components include hardware elements beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, the BioStamp nPoint device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
- BioStamp nPoint's function: The BioStamp nPoint system collects physiological data directly from the body surface (heart rate, respiration rate, activity, posture, surface electromyography). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "continuous collection of physiological data" and "measurement of surface electromyography," not for analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the BioStamp nPoint falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The software contained in the device is determined to be a moderate level of concern, and software V&V testing demonstrated safety and effectiveness of the device.
A human clinical investigation was performed on 30 healthy volunteers to evaluate the performance of the device at measuring heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, activity (including step count and activity classification), and posture (body position relative to gravity). No adverse events related to the device were encountered, and the results of the clinical investigation demonstrate an effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate devices.
Conclusions
The BioStamp nPoint has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor differences in indications do not alter the intended diagnostic use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the BioStamp nPoint and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the BioStamp nPoint is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
