Complies with EN ISO 14971:2007 risk management standards. No clinical performance metrics (sensitivity/specificity) reported; device cleared based on substantial equivalence and established safety profile.
Technological Characteristics
Tabletop device with touchscreen; 12V DC medical-grade power supply. Connectivity via telephone modem or LAN. Supports tethered/wireless physiological measurement modules. Software manages data capture, storage, transmission, and user-defined limit alerts. Complies with international standards for electrical safety, ECG safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with chronic illness requiring remote health status management. Provides monitoring/display of vital signs, management/scheduling of clinical measurements and questionnaires, web-based patient health information access, and reporting to clinicians/allied health workers. Not for critical care or emergency support.
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.

{1}------------------------------------------------
The TeleMedCare Health Monitor is an ergonomic design table top device with a touch screen and associated measurement components that may be integral or connected to it wirelessly or by cable. After measurements are recorded, the data is viewed and stored on the device then automatically transmitted via telephone modem or local area network (LAN) to a secure remote server. This data is then able to be viewed remotely over the web by the user's health care professional to assist them with chronic care management. Access to information stored and processed by the device is by means of password protection, encryption and use of collocated secure servers.
The device also provides a means of messaging and video teleconferencing between the patient and carer to discuss their health and treatment. Questionnaires may also be configured by the carer to gauge other aspects of a patients well being.
TeleMedCare software, captures, stores and transmits health data and access controlled carer's may set upper and lower limits to allow notification to them when these limits are exceeded to review health care management. The device however does not offer critical care or emergency support and requires professional medical interpretation for treatment of prescribed users.
The System has functionality and devices to record, store and transmit data for body blood pressure, glucose and oximetry, heart rate (ECG), lung function (Spirometry), body temperature and weight.
Power to the device is supplied by a medical grade power supply delivering 12 volts D.C to the system via a cable plugged into the back of the unit along with connection to tethered external measurement modules and the internet. The TeleMedCare Health Monitor has been tested and complies with international standards for electrical and electrocardiograph safety, electromagnetic compatibility and telecommunication standards.
