More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and describes standard physiological measurements and calculations without mentioning any AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as providing non-invasive measurements and information to the physician for assessment and decision-making, rather than directly treating or alleviating a condition.

Yes

The device aids in the physician's assessment of cardiovascular systems and peripheral arterial disease by providing measurements and calculations (e.g., HRV, ABI, ABPI), even though it explicitly states it "does not provide any direct diagnosis." The information it provides is intended to assist in the physician's decision-making process for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system comprises "USB plug and play device hardware and Software installed on a computer." This indicates the presence of dedicated hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • VitalScan ANS Function: The VitalScan ANS device measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (pulse waveforms, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) using non-invasive methods (PPG, ECG, NIBP, SpO2). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as providing information for physician assessment of the Cardiovascular Systems and assessing the risk of developing peripheral arterial disease. This is based on direct physiological measurements, not analysis of in vitro samples.

Therefore, the VitalScan ANS falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological measurements, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

development of peripheral arterial
disease (PAD).
The device is intended for use on
transitional adolescents and
adults, including those with
unilateral lower limb amputation,
in medical clinics, healthcare
practices and out-patient
departments of hospitals.

The system is intended for use
of patients in medical clinics,
healthcare practices and in
out-patient department of
hospitals. | The ABPI MD system is
indicated for use on adult
subjects at risk of having or
developing peripheral arterial
disease (PAD).
The ABPI MD system is
intended for the rapid
measurement of ankle-
brachial pressure index (ABPI),
or ankle-brachial index (ABI)
and pulse volume recording
(PVR) / volume
plethysmography in adults.
It is suitable for wound care
assessment, for assessing
symptomatic PAD, and as a
screening device for PAD. It
may also be used on patients
with venous or arterial ulcers
prior to application of
compression therapy.
The ABPI MD system can be
used on patients with
unilateral lower limb
amputation. The ABPI MD
system is intended to be used
to spot-check patients. The
ABPI MD system provided
information regarding patient
risk. The physician has the
responsibility of making
proper judgements based on
this information. | [Excerpt of IFU] The Tonoport
V is a compact, lightweight,
patient-borne, non-invasive
blood pressure (NIBP) bolter
using the oscillometric
method. The cuff is borne on
the upper arm and an
electrical pump inside the
device generates the pressure
in the cuff. Tonoport V is
intended to be used for
measuring the systolic,
diastolic, mean blood pressure
and the heart rate of human
beings for periods up to 30
hours. The intended patient
populations are adults and
children (but not neonates)
with a circumference of the
upper arm in the range of 17
cm to 42 cm. A measurement
with Tonoport V is combined
with other measurements and
medical examinations at the
patient, so that a diagnosis
about the patient's health
condition depends not alone
from the measurement of the
Tonoport V. | There are no differences in the
intended use of the devices.
The indications for use are
clarified, but not changed.
The measurements made by
the ANSHA-QHRV1 are used
for the same purposes as the
VitalScan ANS device - analysis
of HRV, PWV, and PVR. The
VitalScan ANS uses the same
algorithms as the ANSHA-
QHRV1 for PPG and ECG
acquisition and analysis.
The measurements made by
the ABPI-MD device are used
for assessing symptomatic PAD
or for screening for PAD. The
VitalScan ANS makes
measurements for the same
purposes.
The VitalScan ANS uses the
same algorithm as the
Tonoport V for NIBP
measurements.
The VitalScan ANS and
predicate/reference devices
are used for the adult
population in professional
settings and a medical
professional is responsible for
interpreting the data /
determining its significance
related to the patient's health. |
