Indications for Use
The eCareManager System is a software tool intended for use by trained medical staff providing supplemental remote support to bedside care teams in the management and care of in-hospital patients. The software collects, stores and displays clinical data obtained from the electronic medical record, patient monitoring systems and ancillary systems connected through networks. Using this data, clinical decision support notifications are generated that aid in understanding the patient's current condition and changes over time. The eCareManager System does not provide any alarms. It is not intended to replace bedside vital signs alarms or proactive patient care from clinicians. All information and notifications provided by the eCareManager System are intended to support the judgement of a medical professional and are not intended to be the sole source of information for decision making.
Device Story
eCareManager 4.0.1 is a telehealth software platform for enterprise-wide patient monitoring. It aggregates clinical data from electronic medical records (EMR), bedside monitors, and ancillary systems via network interfaces. The system provides a centralized dashboard for remote clinicians to view patient status, trends, and care plans. It includes a Sepsis Screening Prompt that automatically analyzes patient data against clinical criteria to identify potential sepsis risk. The device does not generate alarms or replace bedside monitoring; it serves as a clinical decision support tool to assist medical professionals in proactive care. It is operated by trained clinical staff in hospital or remote clinical settings. Output is displayed on a workstation, aiding clinicians in assessing patient condition and guiding clinical decision-making. The system benefits patients by facilitating early detection of clinical deterioration and supporting timely intervention by remote care teams.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation included model development and post-implementation studies evaluating the Sepsis Screening Prompt algorithm. Testing confirmed the algorithm's performance in identifying severe sepsis using 9 criteria based on the 2003 International Sepsis Definitions Conference. Results demonstrated that the eCareManager sepsis screening model yielded higher discrimination for identifying severe sepsis compared to traditional criteria used in the predicate IntelliVue SSC model. Verification and validation activities confirmed the system meets all specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only platform; interfaces with hospital systems via HL-7; utilizes audio/video for remote communication. Features include patient census, profile, stroke profile, care plans, task lists, flowsheets, order entry, and sepsis screening. Employs user authentication, role-based access, and audit logging. Operates as a networked clinical decision support system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in hospital environments or remote locations by clinical professionals for in-hospital patients. Not indicated for home use.
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.

#### VI.Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The eCareManager software is Telehealth software. which employs and further builds on the same fundamental scientific technology as the Argus System software (K012171). The Sepsis Screening Prompt included in eCareManager has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the sepsis screening feature (Protocol Watch SSC) marketed with several models of the Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitors (K113657).
A comparison matrix (Table 5-1) shows the similarities and differences. The eCareManager software with the listed enhancements is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Arqus System. The Intended Use has been modified to clarify and modernize the wording; however, the concept has not changed. Technological characteristics and principles of operation remain the same, Differences in the available features, as discussed below, do not present any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Table 5-2 presents a comparative summary of the sepsis screening features of eCareManager and the IntelliVue Patient Monitors with ProtocolWatch SSC.
