Indications for Use

The EasyCare Tx 2 software is indicated for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical environment with compatible Resmed therapy devices via TxLink 2 to display real-time therapy data and treatment settings, and to provide therapy device setting changes.

Device Story

EasyCare Tx 2 is a PC-based software application for clinicians in sleep labs; it connects to compatible Resmed therapy devices via TxLink 2. The software receives real-time data packets from the therapy device, displaying parameters such as pressure, flow, respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, pulse rate, and SpO2. Clinicians use the interface to monitor patient therapy and remotely adjust device settings. The device does not perform diagnostic analysis; it acts as a conduit for data visualization and clinician-controlled configuration. By enabling real-time adjustments in a clinical environment, it facilitates optimized titration of respiratory therapy. The software architecture is scalable to support a wider range of parameters compared to previous versions, ensuring compatibility with newer Resmed therapy devices.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness were demonstrated through non-clinical verification and validation testing, including software V&V and cybersecurity testing, using methodologies based on the reference device (K241939).
