Intended Use

The Ambio Remote Health Monitoring System ("System") consists of Ambio Wireless Connectors to send readings from off-the-shelf blood pressure and blood glucose meters; the Ambio Scale with built in wireless connectivity to send readings through the Ambio Gateway to the Ambio Care Portal. The Care Portal is used by patients and their caregivers ("Users") to view readings, set reminders to take meter readings and pills, set reading thresholds which will trigger alert messages and set who will get reminder and alert messages. Reading history can be printed or exported. Users can maintain an exercise log, food log and records of doctor visits and lab tests. Users can set goals and rewards for taking readings and for keeping readings in target ranges. A patient survey tool can be used to gather qualitative health information. The System also has a shared calendar and message board to coordinate among Users. General health information from accredited sources is also available. The Ambio Remote Health Monitoring System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care, and it is not intended to provide real time data. The data is made available to the patients when time-critical care is not required. The device is contraindicated for patients requiring direct medical supervision or emergency intervention. The System does not alter the indicated use of the described blood pressure or blood glucose monitors.

Device Story

System collects physiological data (blood glucose, blood pressure, weight) from off-the-shelf monitors via USB-connected Wireless Connectors or integrated scale; data encrypted and transmitted wirelessly (900 MHz) to Ambio Gateway; Gateway relays data via home broadband to secure web-based Ambio Care Portal. Used in home/clinic by patients and caregivers. Portal provides visualization of historical trends, goal setting, reminders, and alert thresholds. Healthcare providers/patients review data to manage chronic conditions; system does not provide real-time data or diagnostic capabilities. Benefits include improved patient compliance and remote monitoring of chronic health metrics.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. System underwent design control verification and validation, including testing of all executable code, functionality, and risk management. Testing confirmed compatibility between accessory medical devices (glucose, blood pressure, scale), Wireless Connectors, Gateway, and Care Portal software. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-4, and IEC/EN 60601-1-2 standards demonstrated.

Technological Characteristics

System components: Wireless Connectors (USB interface, coin cell battery), Ambio Scale (integrated wireless), Ambio Gateway (Ethernet connectivity), and Care Portal (web-based). Wireless communication via 900MHz (902-928 MHz) band. Power source: 120 VAC wall power for Gateway/Scale, coin cell for Connectors. Software-based data management and alert system. Compliant with IEC 60601-1 series safety and EMC standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for home users and healthcare providers to monitor and manage chronic conditions remotely by reviewing historical blood glucose, weight, and blood pressure data. Contraindicated 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.
