Intended Use

The DynaPulse 5200A Pathway is indicated for trained medical professionals to operate on patients at clinical settings to collect and measure blood pressure and pulse rate information. In addition, the DynaPulse DPS200A Pathway is indicated for patients at home who are capable and willing to selfadministrate this device upon prescription of their healthcare provider. The DP5200A monitor must be connected to an IBM PC-compatible computer that is concurrently running DP5200A Pathway PC Software. The device does not send any real-time alarms. Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information delivered.

Device Description

Noninvasive blood pressure measurement system.

AI/ML Overview

This looks like an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the DynaPulse 5200A Pathway Blood Pressure Monitor System, rather than a detailed study report with acceptance criteria and performance metrics. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding detailed study results, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth establishment is not present in this document.

However, I can extract the following relevant information based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

This document does not contain a table of specific acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision) as would be found in a study report. The letter confirms substantial equivalence to a predicate device, implying that its performance is considered acceptable based on comparison to that predicate, but the specific metrics are not detailed here.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the FDA clearance letter.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not provided in the FDA clearance letter.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not provided in the FDA clearance letter.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This device is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for which an MRMC study or "human improvement with AI" would be relevant. Therefore, this question does not apply to the device described.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

The device is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor that requires a human to operate it and an IBM PC-compatible computer running specific software. It is not an "algorithm-only" device. The Indications for Use state, "Clinical judgment and experience are required to check and interpret the information delivered." This implies active human involvement.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The document does not explicitly state the "ground truth" used for testing the blood pressure monitor. For blood pressure devices, the typical ground truth in validation studies involves comparison against a reference standard (e.g., invasive arterial line measurements or a highly calibrated manual sphygmomanometer reading) performed by trained observers, following established protocols (e.g., AAMI, ISO standards).

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided in the FDA clearance letter. The device itself is a measurement device, not a machine learning model that typically relies on a "training set" in the same way.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not provided, and again, the concept of a "training set" and "ground truth establishment" in this context is generally for machine learning algorithms, which is not the primary nature of this blood pressure monitor.

Trade Name: DynaPulse 5200A Pathway Blood Pressure Monitor System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1130 Regulation Name: Noninvasive blood pressure measurement system. Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DXN Dated: December 23, 2001 Received: January 2, 2002

Dear Mr. Duffy:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Mr. Robert Duffy

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
