Intended Use
The Aviva SLX System is intended for use as a monitoring device, whereby a health care professional can, from a remote location, communicate with the patient between visits to gather blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as to listen to the patient's heart and lung sounds.
Device Description
The Aviva SLX System and the predicate device (Aviva System) listed above have the same intended use and very similar principles of operation and technological characteristics. Specifically, both devices consist primarily of a blood pressure meter, a telephonic stethoscope, and a communications circuit. These devices are intended for use as monitoring devices, whereby a health care professional can, from a remote location, communicate with the patient between visits to gather blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as to listen to the patient's heart and lung sounds. Neither device is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes. In general, basic operation of the devices consists of: (1) establishing voice/video communication; (2) establishing communication between the sending and receiving units of a telephonic stethoscope to obtain heart and lung sounds; and (3) obtaining blood pressure and pulse readings. The only difference from the predicate Aviva System is that the Aviva SLX System has the capability to 1) transmit the blood pressure/pulse readings from the Patient Station to the Central Station and clear the readings from the blood pressure/pulse meter; and 2) obtain glucose readings from an off-the-shelf glucose meter plugged into the data port of the Patient Station and transmit those readings to the Central Station, as well as to clear the readings from the glucose meter. The Aviva SLX Systems use the same blood pressure meter and the same telephonic stethoscope as the predicate device.

No
The description focuses on basic data transmission and communication functionalities, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities like analysis, interpretation, or learning from data.

No
The device is described as a "monitoring device" to gather data, not to provide therapy or treatment.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section and "Device Description" section explicitly state that "Neither device is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes." It is described as a monitoring device.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components: a blood pressure meter, a telephonic stethoscope, and a communications circuit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is a "monitoring device" for gathering blood pressure, pulse readings, and listening to heart and lung sounds. It also explicitly states, "Neither device is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes."
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a monitoring device for collecting physiological data (blood pressure, pulse, heart/lung sounds, and glucose readings).
  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The Aviva SLX System does not perform analysis on such specimens. While it can obtain glucose readings from an off-the-shelf glucose meter (which is an IVD), the Aviva SLX System itself is simply transmitting that data.

Therefore, the Aviva SLX System falls under the category of a remote patient monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Substantial Equivalence

The Aviva SLX System and the predicate device (Aviva System) listed above have the same intended use and very similar principles of operation and technological characteristics. Specifically, both devices consist primarily of a blood pressure meter, a telephonic stethoscope, and a communications circuit. These devices are intended for use as monitoring devices, whereby a health care professional can, from a remote location, communicate with the patient between visits to gather blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as to listen to the patient's heart and lung sounds. Neither device is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes.

In general, basic operation of the devices consists of: (1) establishing voice/video communication; (2) establishing communication between the sending and receiving units of a telephonic stethoscope to obtain heart and lung sounds; and (3) obtaining blood pressure and pulse readings.

The only difference from the predicate Aviva System is that the Aviva SLX System has the capability to 1) transmit the blood pressure/pulse readings from the Patient Station to the Central Station and clear the readings from the blood pressure/pulse meter; and 2) obtain glucose readings from an off-the-shelf glucose meter plugged into the data port of the Patient Station and transmit those readings to the Central Station, as well as to clear the readings from the glucose meter. The Aviva SLX Systems use the same blood pressure meter and the same telephonic stethoscope as the predicate device. These minor modifications to the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Abbruscato:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
