Intended Use
Care Orchestrator Essence is intended for use by healthcare professionals (e.g., Physicians, Durable Medical Equipment providers) to gather, store, manage, and view compliance data for patients who are prescribed compatible therapy devices in accordance with the intended use of those therapy devices. The software also includes the ability to create new or updated prescriptions and/or performance settings, store them, and transmit them to compatible Respironics' non-life supporting therapy devices and Respironics Trilogy ventilator. Data and prescription settings are transferred between Care Orchestrator Essence and compatible devices via removable media. Care Orchestrator Essence is intended to be used in hospital, institutional, provider, and home care settings by healthcare representatives. The software does not perform automatic scoring or diagnosis. The data it provides are only one of several elements to consider when making decisions about patient therapy.
Device Description
Care Orchestrator Essence software is a desktop solution that allows healthcare representatives (e.g., physicians, clinicians, durable medical equipment providers) involved in a patient's therapy lifecycle the ability to manage patients and referrals; control access to patient information; view and interact with therapy and prescription data from Respironics devices; enhance the patient compliance management workflow; and gain efficiencies in the overall patient therapy workflow. Care Orchestrator Essence supports patient data management and prescription updates for sleep therapy devices (BZD, MNS, MNT) and Trilogy respiratory devices (CBK, NOU) through an SD card.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "The software does not perform automatic scoring or diagnosis" and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the description, intended use, or testing sections.

No
The device is described as software that manages and transmits data and prescriptions for compatible therapy devices, rather than performing therapy itself.

No

The software states "The software does not perform automatic scoring or diagnosis." and its purpose is to "gather, store, manage, and view compliance data" and "create new or updated prescriptions and/or performance settings."

Yes

The device is described as "Care Orchestrator Essence software" and its function is to manage, store, and view data, as well as create and transmit prescriptions. While it interacts with compatible therapy devices, the description focuses solely on the software's capabilities and verification/validation testing is described as "Software verification and validation testing". The data transfer method via SD card is a mechanism for the software to receive and send information, not an indication that the device itself includes hardware beyond the computing platform it runs on.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software is for gathering, storing, managing, and viewing compliance data from therapy devices. It also allows for creating and transmitting prescriptions and performance settings to these devices. This is related to managing patient therapy and device settings, not performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that the software is a desktop solution for managing patients, referrals, accessing patient information, viewing therapy and prescription data, and managing workflow. It focuses on data management and prescription updates for therapy devices.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Functionality: The intended use explicitly states, "The software does not perform automatic scoring or diagnosis." This is a key indicator that it is not an IVD.
  • Focus on Therapy Devices: The software interacts with and manages data from therapy devices (sleep therapy and respiratory devices), not devices used for in vitro diagnostic testing of biological samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software does not perform any such function.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Software Verification and Validation Testing:
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

Non-Clinical Tests:
Software verification and validation testing was performed on Care Orchestrator Essence based on the product requirements. This testing included complete system testing to verify data transfer through an SD card from therapy devices to Care Orchestrator Essence. Once data was transferred, all tests confirmed that Care Orchestrator Essence can display patient and device information, display therapy data including summary and therapy reports and allow for a user to create and/or edit a patient's prescription for the supported therapy devices. Verification of cybersecurity requirements implemented within the software and system architecture were also confirmed for user authentication and encryption of data at rest. Labeling controls as identified in the risk and cybersecurity risk analysis were also verified. Unit verification and low level tests of prescription integrity checks were also completed.
The testing of Care Orchestrator Essence verified that all product requirements have been met with acceptable test results. The verification and validation testing demonstrated comparable safety and effectiveness of the Care Orchestrator Essence software in comparison to the predicate software, Care Orchestrator and DirectView.

Clinical Tests:
Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Care Orchestrator Essence. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests.

Conclusion:
Care Orchestrator Essence has demonstrated acceptable test results for all of the aforementioned nonclinical tests and required no clinical tests in order to demonstrate safety or effectiveness. It is therefore concluded that Care Orchestrator Essence is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Care Orchestrator (K152356) and DirectView (K083526).

Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

Non-Clinical Tests

Software verification and validation testing was performed on Care Orchestrator Essence based on the product requirements. This testing included complete system testing to verify data transfer through an SD card from therapy devices to Care Orchestrator Essence. Once data was transferred, all tests confirmed that Care Orchestrator Essence can display patient and device information, display therapy data including summary and therapy reports and allow for a user to create and/or edit a patient's prescription for the supported therapy devices. Verification of cybersecurity requirements implemented within the software and system architecture were also confirmed for user authentication and encryption of data at rest. Labeling controls as identified in the risk and cybersecurity risk analysis were also verified. Unit verification and low level tests of prescription integrity checks were also completed.

The testing of Care Orchestrator Essence verified that all product requirements have been met with acceptable test results. The verification and validation testing demonstrated comparable safety and effectiveness of the Care Orchestrator Essence software in comparison to the predicate software, Care Orchestrator and DirectView.

Clinical Tests

Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Care Orchestrator Essence. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests.

Conclusion VIII.

Care Orchestrator Essence has demonstrated acceptable test results for all of the aforementioned nonclinical tests and required no clinical tests in order to demonstrate safety or effectiveness. It is therefore concluded that Care Orchestrator Essence is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Care Orchestrator (K152356) and DirectView (K083526).
