Software as a Medical Device
Intended Use
Care Orchestrator is intended to support clinicians by tracking data on patients who are prescribed compatible therapy devices in accordance with the intended use of those therapy devices. Care Orchestrator provides remote patient data collection & viewing and is intended to be used by healthcare representatives (e.g., Physicians, Clinicians, Durable Medical Equipment providers) in conjunction with compatible non-life support therapy devices to adjust prescription and/ or performance settings. Care Orchestrator allows read-only access to patients. Care Orchestrator is intended to be used in hospital, institutional, provider, and home care settings.
Device Story
Care Orchestrator is a web-based data management system for sleep and respiratory therapy. It collects patient data from compatible therapy devices via wireless transfer or SD card. Healthcare representatives (physicians, clinicians, DME providers) use the system in hospital, institutional, or home settings to manage patient referrals, monitor compliance, generate reports, and adjust prescription settings for non-life support devices. The system provides a centralized database for patient management, task tracking, and device health monitoring. By enabling remote access to therapy data and settings, the device aims to improve clinical workflow efficiency and patient compliance management. It does not support remote setting changes for life-support devices.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness were demonstrated through non-clinical software verification and validation testing, including system testing of data transfer (wireless and SD card), display of therapy/compliance reports, and prescription management functionality.
Technological Characteristics
Web-based software application; centralized database architecture. Supports wireless and SD card data transfer. Software level of concern: Moderate. Features include task management, configurable compliance/health rules, and reporting templates.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients prescribed compatible non-life support therapy devices (sleep therapy and respiratory devices). Used by healthcare representatives (physicians, clinicians, DME providers) for remote data collection, viewing, and adjustment of prescription/performance settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.

Dear Ankitha Rao:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to Mav 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you. however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.

# VII. Performance Data:
# Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." This software was considered to have a
{6}------------------------------------------------
Moderate Level of Concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could result in minor harm to the patient.
### Non-Clinical Tests
Software verification and validation testing was performed on Care Orchestrator based on the product requirements. This testing included complete system testing to verify data transfer from therapy devices to Care Orchestrator, through both wireless data transfer and SD card data transfer. Once data was transferred, all tests confirmed that Care Orchestrator can display patient and device information, display therapy data including compliance and therapy reports and allow for a user to create and/or edit a patients prescription for an applicable therapy device.
The testing of Care Orchestrator verified that all product requirements have been met with passing test results. The verification and validation testing demonstrated the overall substantial equivalence of the Care Orchestrator system.
### Clinical Tests
Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Care Orchestrator. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests.
## Summary of additional feature(s) from the Care Orchestrator (K152356)
- . Portable oxygen generator (Product Code CAW) Support
- Support of additional therapy device models (Product codes BZD, MNT, MNS, CBK/NOU) .
- . Therapy data download via removable media (SD card) for Product codes CBK/NOU
- . Task Management
- Configurable compliance and health rules .
- . Enhancements to user and organization management capability including external authorizations
- Enhancements to reporting capability including custom report templates .
- Patient management enhancements including search capability, activity log, notes, and document attachments
- . Display of device health information
- . Product support console
- . Legacy application data migration and synchronization
The inclusion of these features has been assessed within the risk analysis and no additional safety risks have been found as a result of the inclusion of these features.
# VIII. Conclusion
The modified Care Orchestrator is as safe and as effective as the predicate device, Care Orchestrator (K152356) and is deemed substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Care Orchestrator (K152356).
