Intended Use
The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters received from INFINITY Modular Monitors (SC 7000/SC 9000XL / SC 8000) and to visually display alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system. The device is intended to be used in the environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals, i.e. physicians, nurses, and technicians, trained on the use of the device, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition. The device is intended for use with the adult, pediatric and neonatal populations.
Device Story
INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation; functions as a remote display for physiological parameters and alarm data from connected INFINITY patient monitors (SC 7000, SC 8000, SC 9000XL). Device also displays DICOM images retrieved via hospital information system. Operates within clinical environments; used by trained healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) to monitor patient status. Utilizes syngo software platform for user interface and image management. Provides visual alarm indications; does not provide audible alarms. Healthcare providers use the workstation to view real-time patient data and diagnostic images to support clinical decision-making. Benefits include centralized monitoring and improved access to patient information at the point of care.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including verification and validation of software and display performance.
Technological Characteristics
Critical care workstation; syngo software platform; DICOM-compatible; networked connectivity for physiological data and image retrieval. Not MRI compatible. No patient-contacting materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in clinical environments. Used by trained healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) to display physiological parameters and alarm data from INFINITY monitors and to view DICOM images. Not MRI compatible.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Ms. Greco:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
