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 OS System serves as a decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record.

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 technologies. The description focuses on data organization and access.

No
The device is described as a "software application" and "clinical data management system" that serves as a "decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record." Its function is to manage and organize clinical data, not to directly treat or provide therapy.

No
The device is described as a clinical data management system that organizes and provides access to patient data, serving as a decision support tool and electronic medical record. It does not perform diagnostic functions but manages data that might be used for diagnosis.

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 IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "clinical data management system" and "clinical information system." Its primary function is managing and organizing clinical data, not performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role as a software application for data management and access, not a device that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on software testing and meeting requirements, not on the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.

While it serves as a "decision support tool," this is based on the organization and presentation of existing clinical data, not on the results of a diagnostic test performed by the device itself.
