## Indications for Use

The M2376A DeviceLink System is indicated for use in data collection and clinical information management either directly or through networks with independent bedside devices. The M2376A is not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the M2376A intended to control any of the clinical devices (independent bedside devices / information systems) it is connected to.

## Device Story

M2376A Device Link System acts as a data gateway; receives digital data from external bedside medical devices via device-specific cables; converts data into HL7 format; transmits data to networked Clinical Information Systems. Device is not patient-connected; does not perform monitoring; does not control source devices. Used in clinical settings to facilitate data integration and management for healthcare providers.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Data gateway system; converts proprietary digital signals from bedside devices to HL7 format for network transmission. Standalone hardware unit; connects via device-specific cables. No patient-contacting components.

## 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.
