More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard physiological monitoring and arrhythmia detection based on established algorithms and testing standards (AAMI ECAR-1987, FDA 1990 guidelines), with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is described as a monitoring system that measures vital signs and detects arrhythmias; it does not mention directly treating or providing therapy to a patient.

Yes

The device detects ECG ectopic beat and arrhythmic rhythm, which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "enhanced version of the Siemens SC 6000 & SC 6000 P Portable Bedside Monitoring Systems" and refers to it as a "system," indicating it includes hardware components (the portable bedside monitor) in addition to the modified software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes measuring physiological parameters directly from the patient (heart rate, respiration rate, pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, ECG). This is in vivo monitoring, not in vitro testing of samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on a portable bedside monitoring system that connects to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or using reagents, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

The device is a patient monitoring system used for direct physiological measurement and arrhythmia detection.

Enhanced respiration rate tracking during periods of respiration rate slow downs: When breathing stops, the respiration rate algorithm now updates at a rate equal to the expected This provides an accurate indication of the respiration rate. respiration rate. For example a respiration rate of 15 breaths per minute(bpm) exists prior to the cessation of breathing. The respiration rate will change from 15 to 14 bpm after 4 seconds. Prior to this enhancement the respiration rate would stay at 15 bpm until a new breath was detected or if no breaths occurred drop to 0 bpm after 30 seconds.

Narrower respiration signal band width : The bandwidth of the processed and displayed respiration signal is 0.25 to 3.0 Hz. Prior to this enhancement the bandwidth was 0.05 to 7.0 Hz. The 0.05 to 7.0 Hz bandwidth has a slow recovery time for baseline offsets and passes cardiogenic artifact to the respiration rate algorithm. A slow recovery time to baseline offsets can result in missed breath detections and cardiogenic artifact can result in false breath detections.

All the Respiration Rate Algorithm Improvements are achieved with a software upgrade.

For details concerning the Respiration Algorithm Improvements validation testing consult Exhibit R.

ECG Baseline Recovery Improvement:

The performance of SC 6000 and SC 6000 P's ECG Baseline Recovery has been improved to center the ECG within 5 seconds after the ECG drifts out of the display range. Prior to this enhancement the ECG was not centered unless it drifted outside of the amplifiers range.

The ECG Baseline Recovery Improvement is achieved with a software upgrade.
