Indications for Use
Tempus IC is intended to aid with the diagnosis of a person presenting as unwell or sick when they are in a location remote from immediate medical assistance. The device allows the User to take vital signs data from a patient and to transmit that data to medical professionals located at the response centre elsewhere. Typical examples are remote land, sea or air locations. Tempus IC is intended primarily to be used by medically unqualified people who have received basic training in the use of the device. Medical expertise is provided through communication with the Response Centre which would be staffed by physicians who would advise the operator on the nature of the medical incident. Tempus IC is intended to be used where a physician or other medically trained staff may or may not be present but where remote physician support is required. Tempus IC measures non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, respiration rate and ETCO2, 12 Lead ECG, tympanic temperature (via a wireless external module) and blood glucose (via a wireless external module). Tempus IC is suitable for use on adults or children (over 10 years old and over 20kg in weight).
Device Story
Tempus IC is a portable multi-parameter patient monitor for remote use by trained non-experts; inputs include non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse, respiration, ETCO2, 12-lead ECG, tympanic temperature (via wireless module), and blood glucose (via wireless glucometer). Device transmits voice, video, and vital signs data via satellite or terrestrial links to TempusNET software at a response center; remote physicians view data on a PC-based monitoring station to provide clinical guidance. System enables real-time assessment and stabilization advice for patients in remote environments. Benefits include rapid access to medical expertise for patients in isolated locations.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative testing demonstrated performance equivalence to predicates. Testing verified reliable and accurate data transmission from the tympanic thermometer and glucometer, including wireless range and co-existence testing per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Portable multi-parameter monitor; utilizes OEM sensing technology for ECG, SpO2, NIBP, ETCO2, pulse, and respiration. Connectivity via Bluetooth for external modules and satellite/terrestrial links for data transmission to TempusNET server. Software-based user interface and data management. Complies with IEC62366 (usability) and IEC60601-1-4.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults and children (>10 years, >20kg) presenting as unwell in remote locations (land, sea, air) lacking immediate medical assistance. Used by trained non-experts to collect vital signs and transmit data to remote physicians for diagnostic aid and clinical guidance.
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.

# Device Description
The TempusIC™ is an advanced multi-parameter vital signs monitor designed for use in remote locations by trained non-expert users. It provides a wide range of features in a highly robust package, including integrated voice link and video camera.
The device remains unchanged from its previous/existing clearance with the exception that the device is now capable of receiving (wirelessly over a Bluetooth™ link) both tympanic temperature readings from a tympanic thermometer (cleared under K101264) and blood glucose data from the Entra Health Systems MyGlucoHealth glucometer (cleared under K081703),
Voice and data connections are made automatically via existing satellite or terrestrial communications systems.
The TempusIC™ is used in conjunction with TempusNET™ software, which provides a system for receiving real-time voice and vital signs data. The system
{1}------------------------------------------------
ર્ત્વે વિવ
# RDT Tempus IC Patient Monitor 510k Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
enables users to receive voice, vital signs data, and still video pictures from TempusICTM devices located anywhere in the world.
The TempusNET™ system can be used by commercial response centre service providers or by individuals or organisations wishing to provide their own internal service
It also provides a synchronised user interface, and remote control of the TempusIC™.
TempusNET™ also supports a full patient records database.
# Intended Use
The TempusIC™ Patient Monitor is intended to be used when a medical situation arises at a location remote from readily available medical expertise. Situations demanding use of the TempusIC™ Patient Monitor can occur at remote land locations on private yachts while sailing at considerable distances from land, and during flight on commercial /private jets as well as in other situations.
The Tempus!C™ Patient Monitor is intended to be used by trained non-experts upon people presenting as unwell. It is designed with the most ease of use for the operator so that it can be used quickly, reliably, with minimum training and with little or no support from medical staff. This allows the TempusIC™ Patient Monitor ikle of he capper. Tomment or also connected to the TempusNET™ server system.
In the latter mode, the TempusIC™ Patient Monitor connects through TempusNET™ server system to a sister device, called the TempusNET™ monitoring station allowing the recorded data to be viewed, stored and manipulated by trained medical staff.
The TempusNETTM monitoring station comprises a normal, commercial grade PC which is dedicated to running the software that enables it to communicate with the TempusIC™ Patient Monitor. The TempusNET™ monitoring station is installed at a Response Centre (typically an emergency room within a hospital) and is operated by experts from the hospital staff.
The operator at the Response Centre is able to receive voice calls and data on the patient's condition for assessment and consequently advise on an appropriate course of action. Such action may include advice on treatments to stabilize the condition, or instructions to return to land or divert from the planned journey, if the patient is at sea or in the air.
# Indications for Use

The device allows the User to take vital signs data from a patient and to transmit that data to medical professionals located at the response centre elsewhere. Typical examples are remote land, sea or air locations.

Tempus IC is intended primarily to be used by medically unqualified people who have received basic training in the use of the device. Medical expertise is provided through communication with the Response Centre which would be staffed by physicians who would advise the operator on the nature of the medical incident.
Tempus IC is intended to be used where a physician or other medically trained staff may or may not be present but where remote physician support is required.
Tempus IC measures non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, respiration rate and ETCO2, 12 Lead ECG, tympanic temperature (via a wireless external module) and blood glucose (via a wireless external module).
Tempus IC is suitable for use on adults or children (over 10 years old and over 20ka in weight).
#### Predicate Devices
The Tempus IC Patient Monitor is predicated on itself (as cleared to market without the ability to receive data from the thermometer or the MyGlucoHealth device). The clearance for the Tempus IC was granted under K082718.
The use of the tympanic thermometer is predicated on the clearance of the same thermometer with the Tempus IC Professional (granted under K101264).
The use of the MyGlucoHealth glucometer is predicated on the clearance of the same glucometer when it was cleared in its own right under K081703.
Operation of the device remains the same except with the addition of the two wireless peripherals, both of which have been cleared to market in the same form in previous applications which are substantially equivalent to their use with the Tempus IC.
# Evidence of Conformity to Essential Principles
The device has been shown to conform to the essential principles for safety and performance defined in guidance prepared by the Global Harmonization Task Force Study Group1 (GHTF/SG1/N14R9:2005), with supporting evidence prepared in the summary technical documentation (STED) format recommended in final version of GHTF guidance (SG1/N011: 2008).
The design of this device utilises currently available (OEM) technology found in many legally marketed devices. In terms of measurement performance, the Tempus 2000 is effectively identical to the devices that incorporate the same OEM technology.
# Testing
The Tempus IC Professional uses currently available (OEM) technology found in many legally marketed devices.
