The Packet Decoder Process (PDP) is indicated for use as a prescription software device to receive MDDS digital data packets and decode, collate and deliver data to a Class I, MDDS, Enterprise Service Bus according to a proprietary scheme defined by Zephyr Technology.
Device Story
The Packet Decoder Process (PDP) is a software-based device that functions as a data interface. It receives proprietary digital data packets transmitted by the BioHarness 3.0 (K113045). The device operates within an MDDS (Medical Device Data System) computer environment. Using a proprietary decoding scheme (Zephyr's General Comms Link Specification), the PDP unpacks the complex data array, collates the information, and delivers the decoded data into registers on an Enterprise Service Bus for access by other MDDS devices. The device is intended for use in clinical or professional settings where MDDS infrastructure is present. By facilitating the translation of proprietary signals into accessible data registers, the PDP enables the integration of physiological data into broader clinical information systems, supporting healthcare providers in accessing and managing patient data.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent factory testing to verify signal accuracy, calibration maintenance, and functional performance of the decoding process. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based device; operates on MDDS computer systems. Implements proprietary decoding scheme (Zephyr's General Comms Link Specification). Written in Java. Functions as a data interface between proprietary transmission systems and MDDS Enterprise Service Bus registers. Factory-calibrated.
Indications for Use
Indicated for prescription use to receive, decode, and collate MDDS digital data packets for delivery to a Class I MDDS Enterprise Service Bus.
Regulatory Classification
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.

(per 21 CFR 807.92)
### INTENDED USE
The BioHarness 3-M1 Packet Decoder Process (PDP) is intended for decoding digital data packets that were coded in the BioHarness 3.0 Packet Encoder Processor (PEP). The decoding process receives data from an MDDS data transmission system then decodes, collates and drives MDDS registers on the Enterprise Service Bus. This process is defined by the proprietary scheme: Zephyr's General Comms Link Specification, version 1.44 dated 11 June 2009 Part Number #9700.0028 (and subsequent revisions).
The scientific concept on which this device is based is the principle that complexity and precise structure of packet data give rise to a repeatable mechanism to "pack up" digital data and transmit it using a qualified communication system. At the receive side, a scheme decodes or "un-pack" this data and delivers it to MDDS registers. This device functions by executing programmed commands written in the Java language. The calibration is established by the factory and yields accurate and calibrated signals that can maintain calibration over its useful life.
#### Substantial Equivalence
Zephyr Technology Corporation has determined that the Packet Decoder Process (PDP) is substantially equivalent to the performance to the predicate device. The differences between these systems are incidental and not significant. Both this device and the predicates use a similar technological characteristics and principles.
#### Safety and Effectiveness
This device is safe and effective for the application for which it is intended and has been tested to confirm safety and efficacy. A series of factory tests are conducted to verify the intended signals are accurate and can maintain calibration over its useful life. The Packet Decoder Process (PDP) has benefited from design, development, testing and production procedures that conform to Quality Systems.
Zephyr Technology Corporation continues to search all appropriate sources for information relating to safety and effectiveness and maintains an in-house reporting device to identify adverse safety and effectiveness information and as such, applicable data is recorded for this product.
