Indications for Use
The TMC Health Monitor is intended to facilitate monitoring and transmission to a remote server of certain physiological parameters relevant to the remote management of health status and chronic disease conditions.
Device Story
Tabletop device with touchscreen for home/community use; records physiological data (blood pressure, glucose, oximetry, ECG, spirometry, temperature, weight) via tethered or wireless modules. Data stored locally, then transmitted via modem/LAN to secure remote server. Enables messaging and video teleconferencing between patient and clinician. Clinicians configure questionnaires and set upper/lower parameter limits for automated notifications. Output viewed by healthcare professionals via web interface to assist in chronic care management. Does not provide critical care/emergency support; requires professional interpretation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and clinical evaluations conducted since 2001. Hundreds of thousands of measurements accumulated and reported to health providers. Complies with EN ISO 14971:2007 risk management standards. No clinical performance metrics (sensitivity/specificity) reported; device cleared based on substantial equivalence and established safety profile.
Technological Characteristics
Tabletop device with touchscreen; 12V DC medical-grade power supply. Connectivity via telephone modem or LAN. Supports tethered/wireless physiological measurement modules. Software manages data capture, storage, transmission, and user-defined limit alerts. Complies with international standards for electrical safety, ECG safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with chronic illness requiring remote health status management. Provides monitoring/display of vital signs, management/scheduling of clinical measurements and questionnaires, web-based patient health information access, and reporting to clinicians/allied health workers. Not for critical care or emergency support.
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.
