Indications for Use
The Sickbay Clinical Platform is software that is intended to route and store medical device data and device diagnostic information from supported devices to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information Systems. The Sickbay Clinical Platform is a remote monitoring platform that displays physiologic data, waveforms and alarms routed through the Sickbay Clinical Platform for supported devices. The Sickbay Clinical Platform is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in a hospital setting for the following purposes: - To remotely consult, regarding a patient's status . - To remotely review other standard or critical near real-time patient data, . waveforms and alarms in order to utilize this information to aid in clinical decisions and deliver patient care in a timely manner. WARNING: The Sickbay Clinical Platform is intended to supplement and not to re-place any part of the hospital's device monitoring. Do not rely on the Sickbay Clinical Platform product as the sole source of alarms.
Device Story
Sickbay Clinical Platform is a software-based remote monitoring system for hospital use. It ingests physiologic data, waveforms, and alarms from various bedside patient monitors via wired or wireless hospital networks. The platform routes this data to a central server, stores it in a proprietary database, and displays it on web-enabled devices for clinicians. It includes three applications: Patient Monitoring App, Patient Alarm Data Monitor, and Alarm Analytics Dashboard. Clinicians use the platform to remotely consult on patient status and review near real-time data to support clinical decisions. The device is intended to supplement, not replace, primary hospital monitoring systems. It provides a centralized view of patient data, potentially improving the timeliness of clinical care.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing was submitted. Substantial equivalence was established through non-clinical bench testing, including usability (IEC 62366), software life-cycle (IEC 62304, AAMI TIR 45), human factors (AAMI/ANSI HE75), health informatics (IEEE 11073-10406), risk management (ISO 14971), and electrical safety/alarm standards (IEC 60601-1-8, IEC 60601-2-27).
Technological Characteristics
Software-based platform utilizing general-purpose computers, wired/WIFI networks, and disk-based data storage. Operates as a networked system within hospital infrastructure. Complies with IEC 62304, IEC 60601-1-8, IEC 60601-2-27, and IEEE 11073-10406. Architecture supports data routing, storage, and display via web-enabled devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ICU and ER patients with physiological sensors attached, for use by healthcare professionals in hospital settings to remotely monitor, consult, and review near real-time physiologic data, waveforms, and alarms to aid clinical decision-making.
Regulatory Classification
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.

### WHY THE DIFFERENCES ARE NOT CRITICAL TO THE INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE
Covidien has two devices (Vital Sync Informatics Manager & the Vital Sync Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform) performing two functions (route and store medical device data AND re-display physiologic data, waveforms and alarms). MIC has one device (Sickbay Clinical Platform) that performs the same two functions (route and store medical device data AND re-display physiologic data, waveforms and alarms). This difference has no effect on how the devices are used. Indeed both Vital Sync and Sickbay perform the same two general functions.
The Vital Sync Informatics Manager routes and stores data from supported devices to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information System. The Sickbay Clinical Platform routes and stores data from supported devices and from the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information Systems. Covidien's Vital Sync is gathering data from Covidien bedside sensors and storing it in the Hospital's EMR. MIC's Sickbay gathers data from all sensors on the bedside from the hospital network (before they get to the EMR)

Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Medical Informatics. The logo consists of a blue square with a stylized "m" inside, followed by the words "Medical" in blue and "Informatics" in gray. The font is sans-serif and modern.
and stores data in its own Sickbay data base and Sickbay data repository or file set. This difference has no effect on how the devices are used; both devices gather and store medical data from other medical device sensors or monitors and re-display such data on supported devices. The set of medical sensors may differ, but the function and use of the two devices (Vital Sync and Sickbay) are the same.
# WHY THE DIFFERENCES DO NOT AFFECT THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DEVICE WHEN USED AS LABELED.
Covidien has two products performing two functions and MIC has one product performing the same two functions. This difference in structure or packaging has no effect on safety and effectiveness. The hazards are the same.
The difference in data storage (an EMR database versus Sickbay database) do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the product, because the reliability of data storage and retrieval technology is the same for both products. Sickbay's database does not replace or preclude use of an EMR.
### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The technological characteristics of the two devices are the same. Both rely on general purpose computers, wired and wireless computer networks, and data storage technology. This technology is several generations old, well established, and its risks and mitigations are well understood. The only technological difference between Vital Sync and Sickbay is one of volume not technology. Sickbay uses more data storage because the data can be analyzed offline as well as redisplayed.
### PERFORMANCE TESTING - (NON-CLINICAL) BENCH
Sickbay Clinical Platform has been determined through engineering bench testing to support substantial equivalence with this device and the predicates.

### PERFORMANCE TESTING - ANIMAL/CLINICAL
There has been no animal/clinical testing submitted with this Notification.
### CONCLUSION:
Based on the results of non-clinical testing, the Sickbay performs safely, as intended, and the comparative discussion of intended use, principle of operation, and technological characteristics, it is determined by MIC that the Sickbay is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
