Intended Use

The Tablet Commander device is for use by patients to collect and transmit general health information, physiological measurements and other data between themselves and a caregiver. The Tablet Commander makes no diagnosis. Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information transmitted. The Tablet Commander is not intended as a substitute for medical care.

Device Story

Tablet Commander is a software application installed on commercially available Android tablets. It functions as a remote patient monitoring interface; it collects physiological data from external FDA-cleared medical devices via standard wired/wireless protocols and transmits this data to a remote database for caregiver review. The system includes a user interface for patient-caregiver communication, including surveys/questionnaires. It is intended for home use by patients capable of managing the device. It does not perform diagnosis, interpretation, or real-time monitoring; it provides no alarms. Caregivers access the transmitted data via a back-end database application to support clinical decision-making. The device benefits patients by facilitating remote health data transmission and communication with healthcare providers.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data was conducted. Verification and validation testing were performed according to FDA guidance for software in medical devices to ensure requirements and specifications were met.

Technological Characteristics

Software application running on Android-based commercial tablets. Interfaces with FDA-cleared medical devices via standard wired/wireless protocols. Data transmission via public telecommunications network. Uses checksums, re-transmit, and purge loops for data validation. Software development followed IEC 62304 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients to collect and transmit general health information, physiological measurements, and other data to a caregiver. Not for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention. Not for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care.

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.

Cardiocom used the voluntary standard IEC 62304 as a model for the software development environment to maintain quality throughout the software lifecycle. The Tablet Commander is identical to the tablet-based predicate devices in that the basic design principle is an application running on a commercial tablet. The data structuring and network communication design principles are identical to the predicate Commander III device. No new hazards to safety or effectiveness are presented by Tablet Commander, therefore, no clinical tests were conducted. Cardiocom considers the Tablet Commander to be equivalent to the Conclusion: predicate devices listed above. This conclusion is based upon the devices' similarities in principles of operation, technology, materials and indications for use.
