Device Description

Like the predicate WARATAH® and Cardinal® Digital EEG and Sleep Acquisition Devices (WARATAH® Devices), the PANBUS® Digital EEG and Sleep Acquisition Devices (PANBUS® Devices) are provided to Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) for creation of an electroencephalography (EEG) recording system. Significant PANBUS® Devices are:
I ) Personal computer (PC) interface board;
2) Electrode interface connection (Jackbox);
3) Communication protocol and port (PANBUS);
4) Amplifier(s);
5) Electrode lead wire sets.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the PANBUS® Digital EEG and Sleep Acquisition Devices. It's important to note that a 510(k) application focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving the safety and effectiveness from scratch through extensive clinical trials. Therefore, the information typically found in such a document regarding detailed acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance against those criteria is limited.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Functional Equivalence to Predicate Device"The fundamental technical characteristics of the PANBUS Devices are the same as those of the predicate WARATAH Devices. Both apply analog to digital conversion technology to record EEG and polysomnography signals. These signals are transmitted over cables to a computer. The computer contains an interface card to interface the received signals to the computer."
Similar Intended Use"The intended uses of the modified devices are the same as the predicate system: For long term unattended EEG or other electrophysiological signal monitoring and recording. ... This device is intended for use by physicians skilled in electroencephalography."
Compliance with Recognized Consensus Standards"Testing to recognized consensus standards" was performed. (Specific standards are not listed in the provided text.)
Software Verification and Validation"Software verification and validation" was performed.
Hardware Verification (Design Output meets Design Input)"Hardware verification of design output meeting design input requirements" was performed.
Safety and Effectiveness (Implied by 510(k) conclusion)"The safety and effectiveness of use of the PANBUS Devices as a modification of the WARATAH Devices was demonstrated by testing in compliance with the Design Control process. ... No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised."
No Safety or Effectiveness Concerns Remain (Post-testing)"Testing is completed. No safety or effectiveness concerns remain."

Study Details and Ground Truth Establishment

Given that this is a 510(k) summary for an EEG and sleep acquisition device (hardware and interface components, not an AI diagnostic algorithm), the typical elements for evaluating AI-based diagnostic devices (like sample size for test sets, experts for ground truth, MRMC studies) are not applicable or not explicitly detailed in this type of submission.

Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred or is explicitly absent:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: This document describes a medical device's technical equivalence, not an AI algorithm's performance on a specific dataset. There is no mention of a "test set" in the context of clinical data for performance evaluation of an AI algorithm. The "testing" mentioned refers to engineering verification and validation of the device components.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: Ground truth in the context of medical image interpretation or AI model training/testing is not relevant here, as this is a hardware device for signal acquisition.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: See explanation above.
  4. 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:

    • No: This is a hardware device for acquiring physiological signals (EEG, PSG). It does not involve human readers interpreting data with or without AI assistance. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant to this device.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not Applicable/No: This device is a system for acquiring biological signals. It's not an "algorithm only" device in the sense of an AI diagnostic tool. Its function is to facilitate the recording of physiological data for human interpretation.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: The "ground truth" for this type of device would relate to the accuracy and fidelity of its signal acquisition and processing capabilities, typically verified against known electrical signals or established measurement standards, rather than clinical outcomes or expert consensus on a diagnosis. The document mentions "Hardware verification of design output meeting design input requirements," which implies that the device was tested against its technical specifications.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: There is no mention of a "training set" as this is not an AI/ML algorithm that learns from data.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not Applicable/Not Provided: See explanation above.

In summary, the provided document describes a 510(k) submission for a hardware device (EEG and sleep acquisition components) that aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The "study" referenced is primarily the design control process, including engineering verification and validation against technical specifications and consensus standards, rather than a clinical performance study with human readers or AI algorithms with defined test sets and ground truths.

1.0 Description of Device

Like the predicate WARATAH® and Cardinal® Digital EEG and Sleep Acquisition Devices (WARATAH® Devices), the PANBUS® Digital EEG and Sleep Acquisition Devices (PANBUS® Devices) are provided to Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) for creation of an electroencephalography (EEG) recording system. Significant PANBUS® Devices are:

1.2 Clinical Application

The PANBUS® Devices are used in hospital and clinical environments where recording of EEG patterns and sleep (polysomnography) are of clinical interest. The user applies commercially available EEG electrodes to the patient in an internationally recognized pattern ( 10-20) recommended by the PANBUS® Devices labeling and their clinical standards.

Other sensors may be applied to the patient. These sensors support Polysomnography (PSG) recording. Typical PSG signals include:

  • I. Air flow,
    1. Respiration effort,
    1. Limb movement.

These signals can be interfaced to the PANBUS® amplifiers.

2.0 Intended use of Device

The intended uses of the modified devices are the same as the predicate system:

  • For long term unattended EEG or other electrophysiological signal monitoring and recording.
  • This device is intended for use by physicians skilled in electroencephalography. These individuals are typically Board Certified Neurologists or Neurologists or the equivalent or Ph.D. level Electroencephalographers.
  • Wc recommend placement of electrodes in accordance with the 10.20 International System.

3.0 Technological Characteristics

The fundamental technical characteristics of the PANBUS Devices are the same as those of the predicate WARATAH Devices. Both apply analog to digital conversion technology to record EEG and polysomnography signals. These signals are transmitted over cables to a computer. The computer contains an interface card to interface the received signals to the computer.

Both are OEM device components supporting the creation of EEG Recording Systems. Application Programmer Interface software is available to support the creation of an EEG recording system.
