Intended Use
The ENVOY Monitor is a physiological patient monitor intended to be used for monitoring vital signs of critically ill adult and pediatric patients in the hospital environment, such as: ECG/Heart Rate, Invasive Blood Pressure, Respiration, Temperature, Noninvasive Blood Pressure, and Pulse Oximetry. The ENVOY may be used to monitor a wide range of patient conditions in many different clinical specialties within the hospital. The device is intended for use by qualified health care providers, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition.
Device Description
ENVOY is hospital based, multiparameter patient monitor for monitoring physiological patient vital signs. The ENVOY patient monitor system consists of the following components: Main Processing Unit, Display Unit, Module Rack, Vital Signs Plug-in Modules. ENVOY vital signs modules acquire vital signs data from the patient, and display their waveforms and alarms indications on the ENVOY display unit. Vital signs and waveform information are displayed simultaneously on the ENVOY Display Unit. Up to 8 traces can be displayed at any one time. The vital signs modules interface with readily available physiologic transducers through electrically isolated patient input connections. After amplification, the signals are digitized, analyzed and displayed. All processing and alarm determination for ECG, Respiration and Invasive Blood Pressure is made using proprietary algorithms and software based on previously marketed Mennen Medical monitoring devices tested against well known and accepted data bases that present representative examples of waveform artifact to be encountered in real case conditions. SpO2 and Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Modules use sofware/hardware from vendors whose products already appearing on the USA market. Information from each vital sign is presented in a separate portion of the display. Each vital sign is labeled for identification and numeric value. Displayed Vital sign information can include: Primary Vital Sign Name, Waveform, Vital Sign Numeric Value, Alarm Status Message. Operation of the ENVOY is accomplished by interaction with front panel controls on the main processor unit. A quick-knob control allows direct interaction with displayed menus for direct parameter selection and setup. Where manual entry of alphanumeric information is required, a menu keyboard menu is display. ENVOY is a reusable, software driven, patient monitor, intended for use as part of a physiological monitoring system in a hospital environment. As such it is not a life supporting, or life sustaining device; nor is it implantable and therefore sterility is not a consideration.

The document explicitly states that processing and alarm determination are made using "proprietary algorithms and software based on previously marketed Mennen Medical monitoring devices tested against well known and accepted data bases". There is no mention of AI or ML.

No

The device is described as a "physiological patient monitor" intended for "monitoring vital signs." It processes and displays data, but does not provide therapy or treatment. The description explicitly states it is "not a life supporting, or life sustaining device."

No.
The ENVOY Monitor is described as a physiological patient monitor intended for monitoring vital signs (ECG/Heart Rate, Invasive Blood Pressure, Respiration, Temperature, Noninvasive Blood Pressure, and Pulse Oximetry) of critically ill adult and pediatric patients. While it provides vital signs data, it does not explicitly state that it diagnoses conditions or diseases based on this data. It monitors and displays physiological information for healthcare providers to assess.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a Main Processing Unit, Display Unit, Module Rack, and Vital Signs Plug-in Modules. While it mentions being "software driven," it is clearly a system that includes physical hardware for data acquisition, processing, and display.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "monitoring vital signs of critically ill adult and pediatric patients in the hospital environment." This involves directly monitoring physiological parameters from the patient's body (ECG, blood pressure, respiration, temperature, pulse oximetry).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device acquires vital signs data from the patient using transducers and displays waveforms and numerical values. It processes signals from the patient's body.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: An IVD device is designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ENVOY Monitor does not perform any analysis on such specimens. It directly measures physiological signals from the living patient.

Therefore, the ENVOY Monitor is a physiological patient monitor, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Alternative Practices and Procedures:

The information displayed by ENVOY is acquired by similar techniques used by other commercially available equipment within the same product category. Like the referenced predicate products, ENVOY provides vital signs information for a patient. This enables a single operator to monitor several parameters for significant clinical events. Whenever an alarm is detected the parameter and alarm type are identified. Viewing the patient's current physiological waveforms on ENVOY allows the user to qualify the severity of the alarm condition.

ENVOY integrates the measured vital signs information for a patients into a single display, and provides a uniform method for interaction and comparison.

Conclusions Drawn from Validation Studies:

The results of the validation studies indicate that ENVOY is safe, effective and poses no new risks when compared against the Mennen Medical Design Standards, and equipment already in clinical use.

Software Validation

Software validation verified the functionality of the Mennen Medical ENVOY from a "black box" approach. Validation was performed by a persons other than those involved in the design of the system. This independent audit confirmed that the system (both hardware and software) met the specified requirements.

Software Validation Plan:

The software validation plan tested the following areas:

Verified that the system performed according to specified requirements.

Verified the system by exercising user input and assuring correct output.

Checked for hidden functionality.

Verified that the system recovers from errors.

The SOFTWARE VALIDATION PLAN was reviewed and approved by Mennen Medical's Engineering and Quality Assurance Departments, insuring that the tests were both valid and thorough.

The SOFTWARE VALIDATION PLAN was executed and the results were analyzed by the Quality Assurance and Engineering Departments. The results met expectations and the software was approved for release, pending clearance of the 510(k) process.
