The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or algorithms that typically fall under the AI/ML umbrella. The description focuses on standard vital signs monitoring and communication.
No.
The device is a monitor that measures physiological parameters. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
No.
The text describes the device as a "patient monitor" used to "monitor physiological parameters" and "transmit vital signs data." This indicates it is for monitoring, not diagnosing a specific condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "WVSM Patient Monitor" and utilizes "embedded firmware." It also mentions "Patient applied parts are needed for physiological measurement." These details indicate the device includes hardware components beyond just software.
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 device is a "patient monitor" for measuring physiological parameters (ECG, NIBP, SpO2, ETCO2, RR). These are measurements taken directly from the patient's body, not from a sample of the patient's body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it monitors "physiological parameters" and uses "patient applied parts" for measurement.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a vital signs monitor, which is a different category of medical device.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION [807.92(a)(4)]:
Device Identification
The WVSM Patient Monitor is a device that monitors physiological parameters associated with Electrocardiogram, Non-invasive Blood Pressure, pulse oximetry and carbon dioxide gas.
Device Characteristics
The WVSM Patient Monitor is a multi-patient use non-sterile device. It utilizes embedded firmware. Patient applied parts are needed for physiological measurement and are provided via FDA cleared OEM accessories to the WVSM monitor.
4
Environment of Use
WVSM is intended to be used in hospitals, healthcare facilities, emergency medical applications, during transport, and other healthcare applications.
Principle of Operation
The modification to the WVSM includes:
- . Adding an indication for capnography by interfacing with a FDA cleared accessory.
- Adding the capability to use the device while connected to the AC power adapter instead ● of only using the device on battery power.
Materials
The WVSM Patient Monitor enclosure is primarily plastic and does not contact the patient. The applied parts are OEM accessories that are FDA cleared and meet the biocompatibility requirements for intact skin contact. The Aux Battery enclosure is constructed of the same material as the WVSM and does not contact the patient.
Kev Performance Specification
Key performance specifications are listed in the table in section VI below.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE [807.92(a)(5)]:
The Wireless Vital Signs Monitor (WVSM) is intended to be used as an adult patient monitor. It is indicated as a single or multi-parameter vital signs monitor for ECG, noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) and SpO2, with an optional accessory for capnography (ETCO2, FiCO2, RR). It may be used in the following locations: Hospitals, healthcare facilities, emergency medical applications, during transport, and other healthcare applications. The monitor uses wireless communications to transmit vital signs data to a handheld or PC computer.
The monitor is intended to be used by trained healthcare providers.
The Indications for Use statement for the device modification is not identical to the predicate previously cleared device; however, the differences do not alter the general intended use of the WVSM as a multi-parameter monitor nor affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. The device modification to add an AC power mode does not affect the Indications for use. The modification to add an FDA cleared CO2 gas analyzer as an optional accessory added a capnography indication to the WVSM indications for use.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
This device modification includes the following:
- Adding capnography by interfacing with a FDA cleared accessory. .
- Adding the capability to use the device while connected to the AC power adapter instead . of only using the device on battery power.
The WVSM was originally designed to be a multi-parameter monitor and had the AUX port capability built in for future use. Since the capnography accessories are FDA cleared and specifically designed to be connected to a medical backboard (Medical Monitor), this device modification is largely an interface task to connect two cleared devices using a well-established
I-2
5
interface protocol. Therefore the addition of the capnography accessory does not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the WVSM device.
An AC power adapter was already used for charging the internal battery of the previously cleared device. The interface and specifications are the previously cleared device. This modification allows for the modified device to be used while the AC power adapter remains plugged into the monitor. An equivalent and updated AC adapter is used for the modified device. The previously cleared device was used only while on battery power. The addition of this AC power mode does not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the WVSM device.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device have . the same physical characteristics, cleaning, and cannot be used near flammable anesthetics.
- The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device have the same electrical characteristics including: protection circuits, battery power, and use of AC power adapters.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device have the same environmental specifications for: Temperature, humidity, altitude, water intrusion, vibration, shock, drop, and EMC.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device use the same ECG monitoring circuitry.
- The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device ● integrate the same PureSAT® pulse oximetry technology to compute functional arterial hemoglobin saturation and pulse rate.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device utilize the same SunTech Advantage OEM Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module for mean arterial pressure, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device integrate alarms functions in the monitors.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device utilize 802.11 wireless communications to connect with multiple patient vital signs monitoring devices for bi-directional data transfer.
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device utilize software, installed on a PC, to allow for data management and display, alert/alarm management, and patient data review.
- The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification and the previously cleared device utilize mobile platforms.
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . The Athena GTX WVSM™ device modification adds an optional capnography accessory not supported in the previously cleared device.
- . A different, but equivalent and improved AC power adapter is used with the modified device.
- . The AUX Port was modified to be capable of input and output (Same as the DATA port) to support the connection to the capnography accessory.
- Physiological and technical alarms for the capnography parameters (etCO2, FiCO2, RR) and sensor fault respectively were added.
