## Indications for Use

The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters received from INFINITY Modular Monitors and to visually display alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system. The device is intended to be used in an environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals, i.e. physicians, nurses, and technicians, trained on the use of the device, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition. The device is intended for use with the adult, pediatric and neonatal populations.

## Device Story

INFINITY Explorer is a software-driven critical care workstation; functions as a central display for physiological parameters and alarm data received from Infinity Modular Monitors; integrates DICOM images from hospital information systems. Operated by trained healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) in clinical environments. Provides real-time data visualization and remote control capabilities for bedside monitors. Enhances clinical decision-making by consolidating patient data on a single interface; facilitates efficient monitoring of patient status across diverse populations (adult, pediatric, neonatal).

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing performed in accordance with internal design control procedures to verify safety and efficacy of software version VF4 and MDS II hardware.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-driven workstation; integrates with Infinity Modular Monitors and hospital information systems. Connectivity via network for physiological data and DICOM image retrieval. Complies with IEC 60601-1-1. Not MRI compatible.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Infinity Explorer with MDSII ([K030615](/device/K030615.md))
- Infinity Explorer ([K013515](/device/K013515.md))
