March 18, What about Health IT? There is an increasing interest in "Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems and Health IT CDRH has established an EHR System Working Group Issues and questions should be referred to Donna-Bea Tillman, Director ODE 3 Any product can become a medical device A magnet An IP phone A palm pilot An RFID chip All it takes is an intended use that meets the legal definition of a device 4 2
March 18, Good intended use definition Before you start deciding you have to have a good intended use definition To get this done you need to define what it does and why it is of value The idea here is to describe the functionality and output of the software and how it will be used to diagnose, treat or cure patients. To put it another way how can this product help the practitioner practice medicine. 5 It is really a 2 part question What does it do? (engineering view) And how can I use that? (clinical view) 6 3

March 18, The TMS Is a Microsoft Windows (v3.1) based software for an IBM PC AT or compatible with a CPU of 386SX or greater personal computer (PC) using MSDOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) 3.1 or later. The TMS manages critical timings presented by in vitro diagnostic laboratory assay processes so as to prevent scheduling problems (resource contention) between ELISA washer, dispenser, incubator, and reader. The TMS will perform final result calculation using curve fitting, threshold matrix (cutoff), ratio matrix, and differential matrix. The TMS is similar in function to the software which controls the MR7000, cleared via K904565. 11 Examples of Use Output can be used to formulate treatment plans Output can be used to recommend additional analysis and test Output can be used to diagnose the presence of tumors Output can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer s Output can be used to calculate insulin dose 12 6

March 18, Device Description is a communications product that connects to a telephone line. It is used by patients in conjunction with the Health Hero Online service to answer questions and furnish information to their healthcare professional (s) between office visits. The Health Buddy appliance contains software that can be activated to function with specific medical devices (including blood glucose meters, non-invasive blood pressure cuffs, patient weight scales and peak flow meters). The Health Buddy appliance retrieves data from a specific medical device and stores it for transmission to a healthcare provider. The physiologic patient parameters available for retrospective display and evaluation include blood pressure, blood glucose level, weight, and Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and FEWi (forced expiratory volume) measurements. The Health Buddy device has data ports that allow it to download readings from identified attached devices, activated only upon appropriate patient enrollment. is a simple, user-friendly device that connects to the patient's standard home telephone line. The device connects to a Data Center via a toll-free number to send patient responses from the previous day and to retrieve the current day's dialogue. The screen displays the information or questions about vital signs, symptoms and behaviors sent by the patient's healthcare provider, and allows the patient to respond via four large buttons. The Health Buddy will respond to the patient's answers with education, reinforcement and messages that prompt patient action. The patient information is sent to the patient's health care provider. 37 K083413 collects, processes, and records data directly from medical monitors which themselves are attached to the patients in the operating room environment. 38 19
