The Unity Network ID is not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices (independent bedside devices/ information systems) it is connected to. ## Device Story Unity Network ID acts as a data gateway/bridge; acquires digital patient data from eight serial ports of independent bedside devices; converts data to Unity Network protocols; transmits data over monitoring network to clinical information systems, central stations, or GE patient monitors. Used in clinical environments; operated by healthcare staff. Device does not perform monitoring or control functions; serves solely as a communication interface to facilitate data integration and management. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only, including module verification, system integration testing, performance testing, safety testing, and environmental testing. ## Technological Characteristics Data gateway system; features eight serial ports for data acquisition; converts non-GE device data to Unity Network protocols for transmission over monitoring networks. No patient monitoring or device control capabilities. ## 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 - Unity Network ID ([K021524](/device/K021524.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

other than GE Medical Systems Information Technologies equipment to
a clinical information system, central station, and/or GE Medical
Systems Information Technologies patient monitors.
The Unity Network ID acquires digital data from eight serial ports,
converts the data to Unity Network protocols, and transmits the data
over the monitoring network to a Unity Network device such as a patient
monitor, clinical information system or central station. | | Intended Use: | The Unity Network ID is indicated for use in data collection and clinical
information management through networks with independent bedside
devices.
The Unity Network ID is not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the
Unity Network ID intended to control any of the clinical devices
(independent bedside devices/ information systems) it is connected to. | | Technology: | The Unity Network ID employs the same functional technology as the
predicate device. | : · {1}------------------------------------------------ Test Summary: The Unity Network ID complies with the voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9 of this submission. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system: - Risk Analysis . - Requirements Reviews . . - . Design Reviews - Testing on unit level (Module verification) . - . Integration testing (System verification) - . Final acceptance testing (Validation) - . Performance testing - Safety testing . - Environmental testing . - The results of these measurements demonstrated that the Unity Conclusion: Network ID is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.

Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 DEC 1 8 2003 GE Medical Systems Information Technology c/o Ms. Diana M. Thorson Regulatory Affairs Specialist 8200 West Tower Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53223 Re: K033672 Trade Name: Unity Network ID Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.2300 Regulation Name: Cardiac Monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: MWI Dated: November 21, 2003 Received: November 24, 2003 Dear Ms. Thorson: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Diana Thorson Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97) you may obtain.
