No
The description focuses on data exchange, connectivity, and interface capabilities using standard healthcare protocols (HL7, ASTM). There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or decision support.
No.
The device facilitates viewing and exchange of patient data and clinical information, but it does not directly provide therapy or treatment to a patient.
No
The device is described as software for viewing and exchanging patient data, not for making diagnoses. Its function is to facilitate information connectivity and clinical information exchange, not to analyze data for diagnostic purposes.
Yes
The device is described as a "suite of software applications" and its function is to facilitate data viewing and exchange. While it interacts with a "Windows server" and a "licensing dongle," these appear to be infrastructure or licensing mechanisms rather than integral hardware components of the medical device itself. The core functionality and intended use are purely software-based.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is focused on viewing patient data remotely and exchanging clinical and administrative information between networks. This is related to patient monitoring and information management, not the in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details software for data exchange, viewing patient information on workstations, and interfacing with hospital systems (HL7, ASTM, etc.). It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing specimens, performing tests on samples, or providing diagnostic results based on laboratory analysis. The data exchanged appears to be clinical and administrative information, potentially including lab reports, but the device itself is not performing the lab analysis.
The device is a software suite designed for data connectivity and information management within a hospital network, supporting clinical workflow and decision-making by making existing patient data accessible. This falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Infinity Gateway Suite is a suite of software applications that are intended to provide clinicians with the capability of viewing patient data remotely via the Infinity Network and for the data exchange of select clinical and administrative information between the Infinity Network and the hospital network.
Infinity Gateway Suite is designed to support the unique needs of hospitals, and provide a complete range of options for information connectivity, including:
- Server Software Health Level seven (HL7) Interface Software Options -
- -American society for testing and materials (ASTM) Stat Lab interface
- -Developer Tools
- Pager Interface -
- -Alarm history database
- -Time master functions
- -12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) export
Infinity Gateway Suite is designed as a client-server application that provides a way for users to view patient information on a hospital workstation that is connected via the hospital network. The server portion runs on a Windows server that is connected directly to the hospital Local Area Network (LAN) and to the Infinity Network. Data access methods are available as options that customers can purchase and enable independently once they install the basic Infinity Gateway application.
The Infinity Gateway Suite facilitates the exchange of important clinical information between the Infinity protocol and existing hospital and patient care systems. The Infinity Gateway Suite is designed to provide flexibility by using common healthcare protocols and data format standards for managing communications between multiple disparate systems. The user may select one or more Infinity Gateway Developer Tools and/or Interface Options to create a seamless flow of information tailored to support clinical workflow.
Infinity Gateway Developer Tools and Interface Options are licensed or unlocked by using option passwords associated with a dongle. An option password is the electronic proof of purchase for the Infinity Gateway software. During the at-hospital setup procedure, the user will be asked for an option or license password which is a unique number associated with the licensing dongle issued. The licenses are always associated with the physical dongle. The Infinity Gateway Developer Tools (such as WinAccess API) enable the development of custom applications to support customers' homegrown applications to support clinical research projects or downstream information systems. Finally, Infinity Gateway provides flexible deployment opportunities by leveraging the virtual machine technology, which facilitates software deployments.
Infinity Gateway also promotes patient safety with efficient workflows for timely decisionmaking by integrating patient data and providing continuity-of-care support. Furthermore, it makes comprehensive clinical data available at the point-of-care by facilitating the exchange of lab reports and admission information between the Infinity Network and other hospital systems.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The verification and validation testing conducted, confirms that the Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.1.1 product performs and functions according to its intended use with no adverse effects upon other medical devices in the Infinity system to which it is connected. Testing confirmed that identified product risk mitigations functions with the new code. All test cases were determined to meet their respective requirements.
Also, all known use-related hazards pertaining to usability have been reviewed, including those beyond the primary operating functions. As a result of this review, all risk control measures identified in the risk management process are deemed adequate to further mitigate and control the risks at an acceptable level under consideration of the intended use. The results of the Verification and Validation testing confirm that the modified software is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device.

IX. Performance Data
Verification and Validation Testing:
The verification and validation testing conducted, confirms that the Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.1.1 product performs and functions according to its intended use with no adverse effects upon other medical devices in the Infinity system to which it is connected. Testing confirmed that identified product risk mitigations functions with the new code. All test cases were determined to meet their respective requirements.
Also, all known use-related hazards pertaining to usability have been reviewed, including those beyond the primary operating functions. As a result of this review, all risk control measures identified in the risk management process are deemed adequate to further mitigate and control the risks at an acceptable level under consideration of the intended use. The results of the Verification and Validation testing confirm that the modified software is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device.
Biocompatibility: The proposed Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.1.1 is a software only device and has no physical form. Therefore, biocompatibility requirements are not applicable.
Sterilization: Sterilization and Shelf-Life: The proposed Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.1.1 is a software only device and has no physical form. Therefore, sterilization and shelf-life requirements are not applicable.
Standards/Compliance Testing:
The Infinity Gateway Suite software modifications have been tested and developed in compliance with the following standards:

X. Conclusion
The Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.1.1 modifications have been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Infinity Gateway Suite VF9.0, which was cleared under K203579 on June 7, 2022. The intended use of the Infinity Gateway Suite as described in the product labeling, although slightly modified, does not change the actual intended use of the device. The intended use statement has been modified for clarification purposes only, not as a result of the proposed device modifications. Verification and Validation results for the proposed modifications support substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
