Cell-Guardian Receives FDA Class I Device Designation

[Elyria, OH] — Cell-Guardian™ has received FDA Class I classification for its zero-touch monitoring device that uses advanced sensor fusion technology to monitor an inmate’s temperature and movement while detecting falls without physical contact or wearable devices.

Class I devices are non-invasive, pose minimal harm to patients and don’t come into contact with internal organs or critical systems. This classification simplifies the regulatory process and enables a company to bring them to market more quickly.

“With FDA Class I classification, correctional facilities can be confident that Cell-Guardian meets required safety and regulatory standards,” said Vik Ramprakash, Founder and CEO of Rahm Sensor Development and Cell-Guardian. “Cell-Guardian is transforming inmate monitoring by supporting officers in supervising at-risk individuals, including those on suicide watch, detox, medical or mental health observation, disciplinary watch, and other special management needs.” 

Built for reliability, CellGuardian carries an IP41 rating, providing protection against small solid objects and vertical water drips, ensuring consistent performance.

The Cell-Guardian is setting out to revolutionize how incarcerated persons are monitored. By providing around-the-clock observation with time-stamped records of incidents, facilities minimize legal liabilities, ensure accountability and enable correctional staff to be more efficient, all while providing an added level of security.
