The device description explicitly states it conducts "rule-based calculations for conventional early warning scores" and "screens patients who meet predefined criteria based on single values of physiological parameters and early warning scores." There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms.
No.
The device is described as "clinical decision support software" that helps clinicians understand a patient's current condition by analyzing existing data (EHR, vital signs, blood tests, early warning scores). It explicitly states it is "not intended to replace bedside patient monitors or clinical decision-making" and is "not indicated for use in high-acuity environments ... for acutely or critically ill patients." This indicates it provides information to aid decisions rather than directly treating or preventing a disease, which is the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The AITRICS-VC is a clinical decision support software that analyzes patient data to aid clinicians in understanding a patient's current condition; it is not described as directly identifying the presence or absence of a disease or condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is "clinical decision support software" that receives data from an EHR and performs calculations and displays information via a web browser. There is no mention of any associated hardware component being part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, the AITRICS-VC is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a physiological or pathological state, or to determine susceptibility to a disease or infection.
- AITRICS-VC's Function: The AITRICS-VC analyzes patient data sourced from an EHR system. This data includes vital signs and blood test results, but the device itself is not performing the tests on the biological specimens. It's processing pre-existing data.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to analyze and display patient data to aid clinicians in understanding a patient's condition and changes over time. This is a clinical decision support function, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that the AITRICS-VC is a software tool that processes existing patient data, not a device that performs tests on biological samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AITRICS-VC is stand-alone software intended to analyze patient data sourced from an EHR (Electronic Health Record) system and display data of in-hospital patient data whose vital signs, blood test results, or conventional early warning scores such as MEWS, and qSOFA exceed predefined thresholds. It is not intended to replace bedside patient monitors or clinical decision-making. It is not indicated for use in high-acuity environments like the ICU or operating rooms for acutely or critically ill patients. It may be used by clinicians to aid in understanding a patient's current condition and changes over time. The AITRICS-VC is solely indicated for use in the general ward of a hospital environment.

Dear Dongyeop Kim:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

[Comparison of Intended Use with Predicate Device]
Operational and technological characteristics for the determination of substantial equivalence of the subject device with the predicate device. The difference of technological characteristics does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and both devices have same intended use.
VI. Comparison of Technology Characteristics
The subject device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent in most technical characteristics. Both devices are used by clinicians and are utilized for analyzing and displaying patient data from EHR system in hospital settings. While there is a different technical characteristic for the output, the output of the subject device aligns with methods commonly used by clinicians, being encompassed by the methods of the predicate device, which are described as "clinical practices, protocols, and policies." Therefore, this difference raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
