The FlexView™ Clinical Monitoring System is for use in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, or free standing surgical centers.
Device Story
FlexView™ Clinical Monitoring System is a PC-based central station; acquires data from primary medical devices (pulse oximeters, infusion pumps, ventilators); provides secondary annunciation of alarms. Used in hospitals and surgical centers by trained healthcare professionals. Device supplements primary monitoring; does not replace primary device procedures or physician care. Output displayed on central monitor; enables simultaneous remote monitoring of multiple devices. Benefits include centralized oversight of patient status and improved alarm awareness for clinicians.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness demonstrated through risk assessment, verification, and validation testing.
Technological Characteristics
PC-based central monitoring station; networked connectivity to primary medical devices (pulse oximeters, infusion pumps, ventilators). Functions as secondary alarm annunciator. Software-based system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patient populations monitored by healthcare professionals using compatible pulse oximeters, infusion pumps, and ventilators in clinical settings (hospitals, surgical centers). Used as secondary alarm annunciation; not for primary diagnostic use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits.
