Intended Use
The Quantitative Sentinel (QS) System is a software application that is intended for use as clinical data management system (also referred to as a clinical information system - CIS). The primary function of the system is the management of clinical data (whether manually or automatically acquired) for the purpose of providing integrated, ready and organized access to patient and/or clinical data that would normally be provided on paper records and/or separate clinical systems/devices. The QS System serves as a decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record. The device is intended for use in a hospital/clinical environment.

More Information

No
The summary describes a clinical data management system and electronic medical record with decision support capabilities, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text. The focus is on data organization and access.

No.
The system is described as a clinical data management system and decision support tool, not a device that directly treats or prevents disease.

No

The QS System is described as a "clinical data management system" and "clinical information system." Its primary function is the "management of clinical data" for "providing integrated, ready and organized access to patient and/or clinical data." It serves as a "decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record." It does not directly acquire or analyze data to diagnose a condition, but rather manages and presents existing clinical data.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that the Quantitative Sentinel (QS) System is a "software application" and operates on "off-the-shelf software and hardware," indicating that the device itself is the software component, not a dedicated hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Quantitative Sentinel (QS) System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is a "clinical data management system" and a "clinical information system." Its primary function is the management and organization of clinical data, serving as a decision support tool and electronic medical record.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role as a software application for managing clinical data.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The QS System does not perform any such analysis on biological specimens. It manages and presents data that may have been generated by IVD devices or other clinical sources, but it is not an IVD itself.
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices (K833395 and K931133) are described as a "Quantitative Sentinel System" and a "Clinical Information System (CIS) with Fetal Monitor Remote Display." These are consistent with clinical data management systems, not IVDs.

In summary, the QS System is a software tool for managing and presenting clinical data, not a device that performs diagnostic tests on biological samples.
