Tempus IC is intended to aid with the diagnosis of a person presenting as unwell or sick when they are in a location remote from immediate medical assistance. The device allows the User to take vital signs data from a patient and to transmit that data to medical professionals located at the response centre elsewhere. Typical examples are remote land, sea or air locations.

Tempus IC is intended primarily to be used by medically unqualified people who have received basic training in the use of the device. Medical expertise is provided through communication with the Response Centre which would be staffed by physicians who would advise the operator on the nature of the medical incident.

Tempus IC is intended to be used where a physician or other medically trained staff may or may not be present but where remote physician support is required.

Tempus IC is suitable for use on adults or children (over 10 years old and over 20kg in weight).

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
