The Central Monitoring System can be used for remote monitor management, printing, viewing or otherwise processing of information from VectraplexECG Systems including remote control. The device is intended to be used by qualified medical professionals. The Vectraplex CMS will audibly and visually alarm if the VectraplexECG System's CEB® (VectraplexAMI), Cardiac Electrical Biomarker, reaches an alarm condition. The Vectraplex CMS' intended use population consists of those patients with certain medical conditions in whom continuous cardiac monitoring is considered to be a medical necessity in the judgment of the ordering healthcare provider. The Vectraplex CMS is intended for centralized monitoring of patients through a network in hospitals, Emergency Departments and Surgical Centers, doctor's offices, and urgent care facilities. Not for home use. ## Device Story Vectraplex CMS is a software-based central monitoring system for remote management, viewing, and control of up to 16 networked VectraplexECG Systems. System architecture comprises three Java-based programs: Monitor Agent (remote display/control), Device Agent (bedside monitor interface), and Proxy Agent (server-side communication integrator). Operates over intranet or internet via TCP/IP. Provides real-time ECG waveform display, CEB (Cardiac Electrical Biomarker) monitoring, and remote alarm/silencing capabilities. Used by qualified medical professionals in clinical settings to facilitate centralized patient monitoring. Enables healthcare providers to view bedside data remotely, supporting clinical decision-making through continuous cardiac surveillance and alarm notification. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Validation included usability testing, regression testing, and latency analysis under maximum load (16 devices, 3 monitors). No clinical data presented. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based system; Java 1.7+ environment; Windows 7 OS (Proxy Agent). Connectivity via TCP/IP over LAN/WLAN. Supports up to 16 devices. Displays ECG waveforms, CEB, and vector loops. Power: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz external adapter. Operating temperature 0°C to 35°C. ## 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 - Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Network and Central '02 ([K022507](/device/K022507.md)) - Mindray North America DPM Central Station ([K080192](/device/K080192.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Description The Vectraplex CMS is a program that can allow a central monitoring system to view multiple VectraplexECG Systems through either an intranet or internet connection. There are three programs to the central monitoring system: the Monitor Agent, the Device Agent, and the Proxy Agent. The programs require Java version 1.7 or higher prior to installation. The Monitor Agent will remotely display and control another device's screen. The Device Agent (installed on the bedside monitoring device) will allow the Monitor Agent (remote central monitoring system) to access the Device Agent's system and control it on demand. The Proxy Agent is a "behind the scenes" program installed on a computer or server, running Windows 7 operating system, which integrates multiple systems (central monitoring system, bedside monitors) and allows them to communicate. The Monitor and Device Agents connect through the use of the Proxy Agent by utilizing a singular IP address, either through the internet or the intranet. Due to the separation of the Proxy Agent from the other systems, communication may occur over both intranet as well as internet connections. The maximum capacity of the Vectraplex CMS is a total of 16 devices. Each Proxy Agent can withstand a maximum load of 16 devices displayed on 3 different monitors. These 3 monitors are duplicates of the same 16 devices. - 5. Indications for Use: - .

Testing and Conclusions: Verification, validation and testing procedures were performed to assure that the new device works as was designed. Regression testing and latency supported the proposed label. The Vectraplex CMS is designed to meet the design specifications and was validated using multiple monitoring devices. VectraCor has performed usability testing outlined in the Vectraplex CMS Usability Test Plan document. All performed testing was successful with no critical errors to report. The maximum load test was done using 16 devices and 3 monitors over a single proxy agent. The average latency for this maximum load test was between 6 and 7 seconds. VectraCor has determined, based on the performance testing, that the Vectraplex CMS conforms to the design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/MSX/K140852](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/MSX/K140852) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
