Intended Use
The KLOCK Blood Pressure Monitor is to be used by adults as a Home Health Care device to monitor Blood Pressure (systolic and diastolic) and the Pulse rate at home. The Blood Pressure Measurement is obtained by the use of the oscillometric method, meaning that the monitor detects the blood's movement through the artery in the wrist and converts the movements into digital readings. The KLOCK is not intended to be used by people who have circulatory problems, such as arrhythmia, or if pregnant.

No
The summary describes a standard oscillometric blood pressure monitor and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a blood pressure monitor used for monitoring, not for treating a disease or condition. Therefore, it is a diagnostic/monitoring device, not a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device is a "Blood Pressure Monitor" which measures blood pressure and pulse rate. While these measurements can be used by a healthcare professional for diagnosis, the device itself is for "Home Health Care" and "monitor[ing]" these vital signs, not for diagnosing conditions. It also explicitly states "The KLOCK is not intended to be used by people who have circulatory problems, such as arrhythmia," which suggests it's not designed to diagnose or manage such conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "Watch Style Wrist Digital Blood Pressure Monitor," indicating a hardware component (the watch/monitor itself) is integral to the device's function of obtaining blood pressure measurements via the oscillometric method.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The KLOCK Blood Pressure Monitor directly measures physiological parameters (blood pressure and pulse rate) from the body itself, not from a specimen. It uses the oscillometric method to detect blood movement within the artery.

Therefore, the KLOCK Blood Pressure Monitor falls under the category of a non-IVD medical device used for monitoring physiological signs.
