System components include blood pressure meter, telephonic stethoscope, and data port for off-the-shelf glucose meter. Healthcare professional at Central Station communicates with patient at Patient Station via voice/video. Device captures blood pressure, pulse, heart/lung sounds, and glucose readings; transmits data from Patient Station to Central Station. System allows clearing of readings from connected meters. Used by clinicians to gather patient data; not for diagnostic purposes. Benefits include remote access to patient physiological data, enabling monitoring without in-person visits. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use comparisons to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics System comprises a blood pressure meter, telephonic stethoscope, and communications circuit. Includes a data port for integration with off-the-shelf glucose meters. Operates as a remote communication and data transmission system. No specific materials or software architecture details provided. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - American TeleCare's Personal Telemedicine Module - American TeleCare's Digital Personal Telemedicine Module - American TeleCare's Personal Telemedicine System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Richard Abbruscato American TeleCare, Inc. Telephone: (612) 897-0000 Facsimile: (612) 941-2247 Date Prepared: October 19, 1999 # Name of Device Aviva SLX Systems ## Common or Usual Name Telemedicine Communications Module #### Classification Name Powered Communication System ## Predicate Devices - (1) American TeleCare's Personal Telemedicine Module - (2) American TeleCare's Digital Personal Telemedicine Module - American TeleCare's Personal Telemedicine System (3) {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Substantial Equivalence The Aviva SLX System and the predicate device (Aviva System) listed above have the same intended use and very similar principles of operation and technological characteristics. Specifically, both devices consist primarily of a blood pressure meter, a telephonic stethoscope, and a communications circuit. These devices are intended for use as monitoring devices, whereby a health care professional can, from a remote location, communicate with the patient between visits to gather blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as to listen to the patient's heart and lung sounds. Neither device is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes. In general, basic operation of the devices consists of: (1) establishing voice/video communication; (2) establishing communication between the sending and receiving units of a telephonic stethoscope to obtain heart and lung sounds; and (3) obtaining blood pressure and pulse readings. The only difference from the predicate Aviva System is that the Aviva SLX System has the capability to 1) transmit the blood pressure/pulse readings from the Patient Station to the Central Station and clear the readings from the blood pressure/pulse meter; and 2) obtain glucose readings from an off-the-shelf glucose meter plugged into the data port of the Patient Station and transmit those readings to the Central Station, as well as to clear the readings from the glucose meter. The Aviva SLX Systems use the same blood pressure meter and the same telephonic stethoscope as the predicate device. These minor modifications to the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.

Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 JAN 1 3 2000 Mr. Charles Richard Abbruscato American Telecare, Inc. 7640 Golden Triangle Drive Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 Re: K993550 Aviva SLX System Model SL1010 Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DRG Dated: October 19, 1999 Received: October 20, 1999 Dear Mr. Abbruscato: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 May 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. Charles Richard Abbruscato This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
