Intended Use

The RTX3370 is for use in non-clinical settings (such as the home), as an accessory device that is intended to be a communication tool to enable health care providers to receive historical patient information. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of external devices. The RTX3370 serves as the remote communication link between compatible external devices, and the compatible healthcare facility at another location. The healthcare facility could be at a disease management centre or with the healthcare/wellness provider or other out of hospital caregivers. The purpose is to collect and transmit selected medical information (such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose) over a normal residential telephone line. The RTX3370 does not measure, interpret or make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys.

Device Story

RTX3370 is a telemedicine hub/gateway for home use; collects physiological data (weight, BP, blood glucose, ECG) from external monitors via Bluetooth or cable; transmits data to remote healthcare servers via public switched telephone network (PSTN) using built-in modem. Device features color display and push buttons for patient interaction/data entry. Operated by patients in home settings; healthcare providers receive data at remote facilities for historical review. Device does not interpret data or provide clinical decisions; serves strictly as communication link. Benefits include remote monitoring of chronic conditions without requiring patient travel to clinical settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical investigation performed. Verification and validation activities conducted per ISO 14971:2000 (FMEA) and company design control processes. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, EN980, FCC Part 15, and FCC Part 68 established performance and reliability.

Technological Characteristics

Telemedicine hub/gateway; Bluetooth short-range radio for monitor connectivity; PSTN modem for data transmission. Materials: standard household electronic plastics. Dimensions: 145 x 125 x 75 mm; Weight: 295 g. Power: external adapter. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, EN980, FCC Part 15/68. Risk management: ISO 14971:2000.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in non-clinical settings (home) as a communication tool for patients to transmit historical physiological data (weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, ECG) to healthcare providers. Not for emergency calls, real-time alarms, or time-critical data. Not for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.

Item 7: The submission device is equipped with a colour display instead of the monochrome display on the predicate device. The size of the visible display area is almost the same and the use of the display in interaction with the user is based on the same principles. The push button layout is different on the submission device compared to the predicate device, but with the same functionality seen from the user. An extra Info key is added to support the user interaction. #### Item 8 to 10: No differences. Item 11: The submission device and the predicate device are different on the following specifications: | Specification | Submission device | Predicate device | |---------------|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------| | Dimensions | (W x L x H): 145 x 125 x 75 mm / 5.7 x 4.9 x 2.9 inches | (W x L x H): 156 x 145 x 70 mm / 6.2 x 5.7 x 2.8 inches | | Weight | 295 g / 11 oz including power supply adapter | 425 g / 15 oz including power supply adapter | The visual design on the submission device is different than the predicate device. Mechanics materials used in both the submission device and the predicate device are common materials used in house hold electronic, mobile phones etc. The mechanic parts in the submission device are addressed in the risk analysis, and does not bring additional or new risks compared to the predicate device. #### Performance data: The RTX3370 device has been tested to meet the requirements of the following standards and regulations used as acceptance criteria: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, EN980, FCC part 15 and FCC Part 68. Risk management is performed according to ISO14971:2000 using FMEA. Based on the fact that the performance comparison of the predicate device and the submission device show that the differences are minor and causes no harm to the user, and the fact that the intended use and indication for use is the same, it was early in the project decided to focus on verification and internal validation instead of large scale validation in form of clinical investigation. Verification and validation testing activities are successfully conducted according to the company's design control processes to establish performance and reliability characteristics of the device. {3}------------------------------------------------ ## Conclusion The RTX3370 is substantially equivalent in technology, features, labeling and indications for use compared to the predicate device cleared by FDA. Verification and validation activities demonstrate that safety and effectiveness are acceptable and comparable to the performance of the predicate device, justifying 510(k) clearance of the modified device RTX3370 {4}------------------------------------------------ Public Health Service Image /page/4/Picture/2 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
