Indications for Use

The EXTENSION Clinical Alert Notification solution is a closed loop communications system that interfaces with health care information systems and medical devices to provide a secondary means of annunciating and displaying patient alarm text and other information to mobile health care workers that is important to patient care, nursing vigilance and overall hospital operations. The EXTENSION Clinical Alert Notification solution alerts and informs the clinician about critical patient alarms by drawing an identified individual's attention to a defined patient in a timely manner without requiring them to be at or near the bedside medical devices or central station displays. The EXTENSION Clinical Alert Notification solution is not intended to replace any part of the patient monitoring system or procedures already existing for the medical devices interfaced with the EXTENSION Clinical on solution. The EXTENSION Clinical Alert Notification solution is limited to use by qualified medical professionals who have been trained on the use of the device. It is intended for use in hospital type acute care environments and is not for home use.

Device Story

The EXTENSION Clinical Alert Notification solution is a middleware communications system that interfaces with hospital information systems and medical devices (patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators) to relay alarm text and patient data to mobile healthcare workers. It functions as a secondary notification system, alerting clinicians to critical alarms via mobile devices (VoIP handsets, pagers, PDAs) without requiring proximity to bedside monitors or central stations. The system utilizes standard IT infrastructure, including servers, routers, switches, and wireless access points (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, DECT). By providing timely remote alerts, the device supports nursing vigilance and hospital operations. It is intended for use by trained medical professionals in acute care settings. The system does not replace primary monitoring procedures; it serves as a supplementary communication layer to improve clinician response times to patient conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. The manufacturer performed risk analysis, design reviews, component-level testing, system-level testing, performance testing, safety testing, and usability/validation testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Middleware system utilizing standard IT/telecommunications hardware: servers, routers, switches, wireless access points (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, DECT), and mobile endpoints (VoIP handsets, pagers, PDAs). Software runs on a virtual machine. Connectivity via wired/wireless network infrastructure. No specific material standards or proprietary sensing hardware; device acts as a data relay/communications interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualified medical professionals in hospital acute care environments to receive secondary notification of patient alarms from interfaced medical devices (e.g., patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators). Not for home use. Not intended to replace primary monitoring systems.

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.
