The Telemedicine 2000 (TM2000) Transtelephonic Receiving Center is a software system designed and intended for supporting a remote (transtelephonic) monitoring ECG, Spirometric and Fetal/Maternal patient parameters. The enhanced TM2000 enables receiving, storing, displaying, measuring, updating, printing and re-transmitting of patient ECG, Spirometric and Fetal/Maternal parameters and other patient related data, (such as demographics, doctors, medical history and status, diagnoses, etc.), and business information (e.g. billing, inventory sales etc.).
Device Story
TM2000 is a software-based receiving center for remote patient monitoring. It receives, stores, displays, measures, and re-transmits ECG, spirometric, and fetal/maternal physiological signals transmitted via telephone or web. The system manages patient demographics, medical history, and administrative data (billing/inventory). Operated by clinical staff at a receiving facility, the software runs on MS Windows, utilizing a GUI for data visualization and report generation. It provides clinicians with a centralized platform to review transmitted data, facilitating clinical decision-making through remote monitoring. The system includes security features like discretionary access control to protect patient data. It benefits patients by enabling remote access to specialized monitoring services without requiring physical presence at a clinic.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The system underwent rigorous design evaluation, verification, and validation testing to ensure compliance with design specifications. System safety and risk analysis were performed to identify potential failures. No clinical trial data was required for this 510(k) submission.
Technological Characteristics
Software system running on MS Windows OS. Utilizes JVM and C/C++ native methods with Windows API functions. Features include database management (up to 2GB, 10-40k transmissions), GUI for signal/data display, web transmission capability, and report generation. Security includes discretionary access control. Moderate level of concern software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the remote (transtelephonic) monitoring of ECG, Spirometric, and Fetal/Maternal parameters in patients requiring such physiological data transmission.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A telephone electrocardiograph transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition an electrocardiograph signal so that it can be transmitted via a telephone line to another location. This device also includes a receiver that reconditions the received signal into its original format so that it can be displayed. The device includes devices used to transmit and receive pacemaker signals.
