10. Conclusion

In conclusion, the FH Vitals SDK shares a similar intended use to that of the already cleared predicate device, with its function encapsulating a subset of the features provided by the Oxehealth systems. Moreover, the proposed device aligns closely in technological characteristics and operational principles with the predicate device. The distinctions that do exist between the two devices do not introduce additional concerns regarding safety or performance. Consequently, we posit that the FH Vitals SDK is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
