EasyCare Tx provides real-time data and treatment settings display, and can also provide therapy device setting changes remotely. EasyCare Tx is intended to be used in a clinical environment. The Tx Link is intended to provide connectivity between ResMed EasyCare Tx software and ResMed compatible therapy devices. The Tx Link relays real-time signals measured by the ResMed compatible therapy device to a polysomnograph (PSG). The Tx Link is intended to be used in a clinical environment. ## Device Story EasyCare Tx System consists of EasyCare Tx software and Tx Link hardware. System enables clinicians in hospital/sleep lab settings to monitor real-time patient/flow generator data and remotely adjust therapy settings. Tx Link connects to flow generator; interfaces with PC via Ethernet; relays analog signals to third-party PSG systems (e.g., Embla). Clinicians view output on PC to inform therapy adjustments. System facilitates titration by allowing remote control of therapy devices, potentially improving clinical workflow and patient care. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only using End-to-End methodology to verify design input specifications and pass/fail criteria. ## Technological Characteristics System comprises software application (PC-based) and hardware connection module (Tx Link). Connectivity via Ethernet; provides analog signal output to PSG. Complies with FDA guidance for ventilators, software content, off-the-shelf software, and cybersecurity for networked medical devices. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - EasyCare Tx System ([K092026](/device/K092026.md)) ## Reference Devices - Embla ([K971813](/device/K971813.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The letters are slightly slanted to the right, giving the word a dynamic appearance. The font is sans-serif, and the overall impression is one of a clean and modern design. The EasyCare Tx System comprises of the titration software, EasyCare Tx, and the connection module accessory, Tx Link. #### Indication for Use EasyCare Tx is intended to be used with ResMed compatible therapy devices via the Tx Link. EasyCare Tx provides real-time data and treatment settings display, and can also provide therapy device setting changes remotely. EasyCare Tx is intended to be used in a clinical environment. The Tx Link is intended to provide connectivity between ResMed EasyCare Tx software and ResMed compatible therapy devices. The Tx Link relays real-time signals measured by the ResMed compatible therapy device to a polysomnograph (PSG). The Tx Link is intended to be used in a clinical environment. #### Device Description ResMed's EasyCare Tx System enables clinicians to monitor real-time patient and flow generator information and adjust flow generator settings as required from the control room within the hospital and sleep lab clinical setting. The EasyCare Tx System includes: - EasyCare Tx, a software application that executes on the end-user's PC and interfaces with A the accessory Tx Link to view and set various flow generator parameters and settings; and - Tx Link, a hardware accessory that connects to a flow generator and interfaces to a remote A PC via an Ethernet connection. The Tx Link elso provides analog flow generator signals to third party Polysomnograph (PSG) systems, such as Embla (K971813). #### Substantial Equivalence The modified EasyCare Tx System has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicate device. - A Similar intended use - Similar operating principle A - A Same technologies - Same manufacturing process A Design and Verification activities were performed on the EasyCare Tx System as a result of the risk analysis and design requirements. All tests confirmed the product met the predetermined acceptance criteria. ResMed has determined that the modified device is Substantially Equivalent to the predicate device (K092026). The new device complies with the applicable standards and requirements referenced in the FDA guidance documents: - FDA Draft Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators (July 1995) A - FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical A Devices (May 11, 2005) - FDA Off-the-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices (September 9,1999) A - FDA Guidance for Industry Cybersecurity for Networked Medical Devices Containing Off-A the-Shelf (OTS) Software (January 14, 2005) # Non-Clinical Testing: Performance testing of EasyCare Tx has been conducted using End-to-End bench testing methodology to demonstrate that the modified EasyCare Tx performs to design:input specifications. {2}------------------------------------------------ # RESMED EasyCare Tx met the predetermined pass/fail criteria as defined in the EasyCare Tx System Verification Report! # Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not deemed necessary as indentified in the Risk Analysis, as EasyCare Tx only Offical read not decined necessary as indentified in the Rincel Inc.alincal trials have already obtains patient and machine information from therapeutic aest results. Accordi testing is required! ## Conclusion The modified EasyCare Tx System is Substantially Equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device, EasyCare Tx System (K092026). {3}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
