Intended Use
The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters received from INFINITY Modular Monitors and to visually display alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system.
Device Story
Infinity Explorer is a software-driven critical care workstation; displays real-time physiological parameters and alarm data from Infinity modular monitors (SC 7000, 8000, 9000XL); integrates DICOM images from hospital information systems. Originally designed for Siemens Medside Data Station (MDS); modification enables operation on commercially available patient vicinity computers (MDS II). Used by clinicians in hospital settings to centralize patient data; provides control back to bedside monitors. Facilitates clinical decision-making by consolidating patient information on a single display.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Software-driven application; runs on patient vicinity computer hardware (MDS II). Connectivity via hospital information system for DICOM image retrieval and network integration with Infinity modular monitors. Not MRI compatible.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patient populations in clinical environments where care is provided by trained healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) who determine use based on professional assessment of the patient's medical condition.
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.

## Description of Modification:
The INFINITY EXPLORER is a software-driven application that allows the user to extend the viewing capability of the Infinity modular monitors (SC 7000, 8000 9000XL) and integrate additional patient information on a single display. INFINITY EXPLORER is capable of displaying real-time patient data, providing control back to the bedside and integrating other applications with patient data on the PC. In the initial release of the Infinity EXPLORER, the software was run on Siemens' own dedicated Medside Data Station (MDS), a patient vicinity computer based on Low Power Intel Pentium-III embedded processor.
The subject of this submission is a modification implemented that enables the INFINITY EXPLORER to run on a commercially available patient vicinity computer. With the release of software version VF2.1 the INFINITY EXPLORER has been tested for use with the Medside Data Station II (MDS II).
### Intended Use:
The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters received from INFINITY Modular Monitors and to visually display alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system.

Dear Ms. Greco:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device feferenced 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
