No
The summary describes a vital data acquisition unit that collects and transmits data. While it performs analysis (like ECG interpretation and arrhythmia detection), the description focuses on conventional signal processing and standard medical device functions, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets for algorithmic development.

No
The device is a vital data acquisition unit, which means it acquires and transmits patient physiological data. It is used for monitoring and diagnosis, not for providing therapy or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the ECG monitoring function "may be used for the diagnostic measurements, interpretation and arrhythmias detection." Additionally, the IBP section mentions it "may also be used to aid in medical diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "vital data acquisition unit" that "receives vital signals from the patient through external sensors". This indicates it includes hardware components for signal acquisition, not just software for processing.

Based on the provided information, the ARGUS PB-3000 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ARGUS PB-3000 Function: The ARGUS PB-3000 acquires vital data directly from the patient's body through external sensors (ECG electrodes, blood pressure cuffs, temperature probes, etc.). It measures physiological parameters in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens.

The ARGUS PB-3000 is a patient monitoring device that measures physiological parameters directly from the patient.

5. Comparison of Indications

Both the predicate device and the subject device are patient monitoring systems intended to be used in healthcare facilities under the direction of clinical professionals.

The PB-3000 is a vital signs data acquisition unit, lacking a display, and intended to be used within or connected to a medical device or a medical system (Host System); the PB-1000 was cleared with its own monitoring system as a complete patient monitoring system, and the parameter unit of PB-1000 could also be integrated in compatible Host Systems.

When the PB-3000 is integrated into compatible host systems, the host provides the visual display, can perform analysis on the PB-3000 acquired data, and perform alarm handling.

The predicate and subject are substantially equivalent because the PB-3000 must integrate with a Host System that then will manage the alarm system, and uses PB-3000 data further analyses (e.g., arrythmia or ST segments, trending) – which is equivalent to the function of the PB-1000 with both a parameter box and a visualization unit which is a system that includes both a parameter box and a visualization unit.

Rec.#Standard Year (ed.)Title
13-79IEC 62304:2006 +
A1:2015 (ed. 1.1)Medical device software Software life-cycle processes

Software Verification and Validation testing was performed at the unit, integration and system levels for the ARGUS PB-3000 software to ensure it meets all specifications. In all instances, ARGUS PB-3000 functioned as intended and the observed results demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate device.

8. Clinical Testing

No clinical testing was performed for ARGUS PB-3000.

9. Conclusion

The ARGUS PB-3000, the subject device of this submission, is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, the ARGUS PB-1000 System (K012226). ARGUS PB-3000 has the same intended use and substantially equivalent indications for use, design, and functions as the predicate device. Non-clinical performance testing demonstrates that PB-3000 meets its requirements and is as safe and effective as its predicate device. The technological differences between ARGUS PB-3000 and its predicate device raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, ARGUS PB-3000 is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.
