AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Nuubo System, submitted to the FDA. It details the device's indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's an analysis based on the provided information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document explicitly states that "The results obtained validate the Nuubo Arrhythmia Algorithms and prove equivalence to Monebo Automated ECG Analysis And Interpretation Software Library, version 3.0 [manufacturer Monebo Technologies, 510(k) number K062282]." It further mentions that "All results are comparable to the results claimed by Monebo."

While specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum sensitivity/specificity for each arrhythmia) and the Nuubo System's reported performance for each criterion are not directly listed in the provided text, the document indicates that the device's arrhythmia detection performance was validated and found comparable to the Monebo device, which was referenced by the predicate ZioPatch. The table below lists the arrhythmia functionalities and their detection criteria, implying these are the targets for the algorithm:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The arrhythmia detection algorithms were tested using:

  • Public Databases: MIT-BIH, AHA, and MITAF. These are well-known, established retrospective ECG databases. The country of origin for these databases is primarily the United States.
  • Private Database: Comprised of 90 ECG registries from 58 patients. The provenance (country of origin) is not explicitly stated, but the context of the submission to the FDA suggests it aligns with U.S. medical practice. This data is described as "anonymized," potentially retrospective, selected to contain all arrhythmias detected by the algorithm.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

For the private database (90 ECG registries from 58 patients), the ground truth was established by "experienced medical professionals." The specific number of experts is not provided, nor are their detailed qualifications (e.g., specific sub-specialty or years of experience). For the public databases (MIT-BIH, AHA, MITAF), ground truth is typically established by consensus of multiple cardiologists or electrophysiologists based on established annotation guidelines, though the document doesn't detail this for these specific databases.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document states that the private database "was annotated using experienced medical professionals, using prospectively defined guidelines, consistent with US medical practice." This suggests an expert review process. However, the exact adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, or simple consensus from a single annotator if a single expert annotated) is not specified. For the public databases, adjudication methods are usually defined by the database creators, often involving multiple experts to establish consensus.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers' improvement with AI vs. without AI assistance is reported in this document. The study focuses on the standalone performance of the algorithm.

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

Yes, a standalone performance study of the algorithm was done. The document states: "The Nuubo Arrhythmia detection algorithm was tested per requirements of AAMI/IEC60601-2-47. To validate the arrhythmia detection algorithms were used three public databases and one private database." The results of this testing were compared to the performance claimed by the Monebo Automated ECG Analysis And Interpretation Software Library (K062282), indicating a standalone comparison. The caveat is that "The Nuubo Arrhythmia Detection Algorithm is not intended to replace the Clinician review of signals. The software menu prompts the Clinician or trained technician to review events prior to generating a report," which implies that the intended use is with a human-in-the-loop for final review, even if standalone performance was tested.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The type of ground truth used for the private database was expert annotation/consensus based on "experienced medical professionals, using prospectively defined guidelines." For the public databases (MIT-BIH, AHA, MITAF), the ground truth is also based on expert annotation (often expert consensus).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the training set for the Nuubo arrhythmia detection algorithm. It only mentions the databases used for validation/testing.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Since the training set size and specific databases are not mentioned, how the ground truth for any training set was established is also not described in this document. The description of ground truth establishment is specifically for the test/validation data.

Device Description:

The Nuubo System, developed by Smart Solutions Technologies (SST), is a wearable device designed for ambulatory recording electrocardiogram (ECG) up to 30 days. The system is composed of 3 main components:

  • . Nuubo30 – The Nuubo30 wearable is a single patient textile like a chest-belt that contains 4 textile electrodes in the inner side that are used for sensing patient 's ECG. The patient places the inner side of the textile in direct contact to the skin in

{4}------------------------------------------------

Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – Nuubo System

the chest region, and an electroconductive media is placed in between the electrodes and the skin to sense the patient's ECG. The textile has an electrical and mechanical snap connector to plug the Recorder.

  • NuuboREC - The Nuubo recorder is a small, lightweight device that records ECG continuously. The device records 2 Leads of ECG data up to 30 days. The device also records data from a 3-axis accelerometer located inside the device. The patient can activate the button while wearing the product to mark a symptom. To start and stop the recording the user will press the on/off button. The data is stored into a micro SD memory card.
  • . Nuubo Leonardo - The Leonardo Software is installed on a computer where the patient´s ECG data stored in the recorder will be downloaded for subsequent analysis and report. The Leonardo software also prepares the recorder for new patients, enabling the user to erase the data from previous patients and synchronizing time and data.

Indications for Use:

The Nuubo System is indicated for use on patients who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, light-headedness, presyncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety.

The Nuubo system continuously records and stores ECG and activity data for up to 30 days at a time. The Nuubo System detects arrhythmias at the end of the monitoring period upon download of the ECG data. The Nuubo System is Rx use device.

Rationale for Substantial Equivalence:

The table below is a comparison of the Indications for use of the Nuubo against the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison: Indications for use

Substantial Equivalence: Indications for use

The Indications for Use is the same as the predicate device.

Indications for Use Comparison:

Nuubo and the predicate device are both prescription devices, intended for use in recording ECG in the ambulatory environment. The Nuubo includes a proprietary algorithm (Leonardo) that can be used to download and analyze for arrhythmias following the recording. This application is similar to the ZioPatch (K143513), which has a similar post-recording ECG analysis feature. The workflow of the Nuubo intended use and system features is equivalent to that of the predicate, in that both systems include a sensor, a recorder that are used to record ECG signals in the ambulatory environment. At the end of the monitoring period, the recorded data is analyzed via a proprietary arrhythmia detection algorithm. In the case of the ZIO, a technician reviews it before it goes to a Clinician for review/editing/reporting. In the case of the Nuubo system, the recorded data is analyzed via the Leonardo in the Clinician's office by the QHP (there is no interim technician review service), then a Clinician or trained technician should review the events detected prior to generating a report. The two systems are substantially equivalent by indications for use, workflow/intended use and technology/components.

Comparison of Nuubo Features to Predicate Device

The Nuubo and the predicate device:

  • Include an ECG recording feature
  • Monitor multiple parameters
  • Include 1-2 leads
  • Allow patients to record events
  • Are used in the ambulatory environment for ECG recording
  • Store recorded parameters on the local hardware (recorder) ●
  • Include proprietary arrhythmia detection capability in a standalone software package

Differences:

The Nuubo has minor differences from the predicate.

The Nuubo System is intended for use up to 30 days, while the ZIO monitors for up to 14 days. Further the Nuubo monitors for motion (ZIO monitors for HR) and has 2 leads (versus one lead for ZIO). However, there are other cardiovascular ECG monitors that are used in the same intended use environment and include the same features as Nuubo system.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – Nuubo System

Reference device Preventice (K151188) includes features like monitoring up to 30 days, monitoring for motion, has two leads, requires that the patient charge the device every 12 hours and that electrodes be replaced every 3 days. Note that the intended use of the Preventice is also ECG monitoring with arrhythmia detection.

Another difference between the Nuubo and the predicate devices is the battery used to power the device. Nuubo uses a rechargeable Lithium ion polymer battery using a micro-USB plug to connect the power adapter, instead the predicate devices use a non rechargeable battery. Ziopatch uses a 2 connected disposable batteries of 3V 225 mAh. However there is another cardiac monitor reference device (my Patch sl, K163535) with similar feature of using a micro-USB to charge the battery.

Another difference between the Nuubo and the predicate devices is the form factor of the ECG electrodes/leads as worn on the body. However, there are other cardiac monitoring reference devices with similar features. Both the Cardiobelt (K063044) and Accuheart (K043361) have electrodes in a wearable belt.

Performance Data:

Preclinical software/algorithm testing, biocompatibility, shipping/packaging and usability study results validate Nuubo System towards its proposed intended use, and supports substantial equivalence to the predicate.

The Transport Simulation test according to ASTM D 4169 DC 13 of

  • Nuubo shipping box, containing products Nuubo30, NuuboREC and Nuubo (i) Leonardo
  • of a shipping bag containing the Nuubo Patient box (ii)

and subsequent visual inspection (ASTM F 1886/F 1886M: Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection; 2016) were successfully completed.

The Nuubo System was subject to, and successfully completed the EMI/EMC/Electrical safety test requirements per IEC60601. Although Nuubo System labeling contraindicates use during cardiac defibrillation. In a likely emergency situation, if a responder attempts to defibrillate a patient without removing the Nuubo System, the Nuubo System design mitigates potential thermal risk.

The Nuubo system was also subject to the following preclinical tests:

  • . System safety testing
    • 0 Software verification and validation
  • ECG Performance testing ●
  • Wireless transmission data quality and wireless coexistence testing ●

Summative usability testing was completed, demonstrating that 98.4% participants did not encounter any difficulties associated with a risk for potential of serious harm (critical tasks). The results show that the Nuubo System can be used by the patient, caregiver and healthcare professional per the labeled instructions for use.

The Nuubo Arrhythmia detection algorithm was tested per requirements of AAMI/IEC60601-2-47. To validate the arrhythmia detection algorithms were used three public databases and one private database. The public databases were MIT-BIH, AHA and MITAF. The Private Database comprised of 90 ECG registries of 58 patients.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – Nuubo System

Registries were selected to contain all the arrhythmias detected by our algorithm. All the data used from the study was anonymized, keeping only the ECG raw data recorded on the device, age and sex of the patient. The database was annotated using experienced medical professionals, using prospectively defined guidelines, consistent with US medical practice.

Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – Nuubo System

The results obtained validate the Nuubo Arrhythmia Algorithms and prove equivalence to Monebo Automated ECG Analysis And Interpretation Software Library, version 3.0 [manufacturer Monebo Technologies, 510(k) number K062282]. The predicate ZioPatch 510(k) K091075 referenced the Monebo for purposes of comparison, therefore, the Monebo was chosen for this arrhythmia performance. All results are comparable to the results claimed by Monebo.

The Nuubo Arrhythmia Detection Algorithm is not intended to replace the Clinician review of signals. The software menu prompts the Clinician or trained technician to review events prior to generating a report

Conclusion:

Nuubo System has similar indications statements as the predicate device. Both devices are used for ECG monitoring by patients in the ambulatory environment.

Preclinical software/algorithm testing, biocompatibility, shipping/packaging, usability, EMI/EMC/Electrical safety and ECG electrode test results validate Nuubo System towards its proposed intended use. These above-referenced study results, along with a comparison of the indications for use and technological features between the Nuubo and the predicate device, supports a finding of substantial equivalence. Based on arrhythmia validation testing and the AAMI/ IEC 60601-2-47 report, the arrhythmia detection algorithm used by the Nuubo Leonardo software application complies with the standard requirements as well as the performance requirements established for it.

Therefore, Nuubo System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
