Intended Use

The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) is a non-invasive, multi-parameter respiratory monitoring device that provides spot-check respiratory gas measurements of oxygen (PO2, ETO2) and carbon dioxide (PCO2, ETCO2) from breathing, respiration rate (RR), functional saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and a range of other calculated indices.

At-rest patient measurements are obtained in a spot-check measurement session lasting approximately two minutes, using specified accessories which include a single patient use breathing gas mouthpiece, a single patient use nose clip, and a reusable pulse oximeter finger sensor.

The device is indicated for use by qualified medical personnel in professional healthcare facilities on conscious and cooperative patients who are eighteen (18) years and older. The GEM is not to be utilized simultaneously with supplemental Oxygen nor with other respiratory gases or agents.

The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) is not intended to be used as the sole basis for making diagnosis or treatment decisions related to patient gas exchange; it is intended to be used in conjunction with additional methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms. It is not intended to replace arterial blood gas sampling for treatment purposes.

Device Description

The Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) is a non-invasive multi-parameter respiratory monitoring system that uses at-rest spot check breath samples to provide respiratory measurements of oxygen (PO₂, ETO₂) and carbon dioxide (PCO₂, ETCO₂) from breathing, respiration rate (RR), functional saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and a range of other calculated indices to assess a patient's respiratory status.

The device utilizes a single patient use disposable mouthpiece attached to the monitor via a tubing system and an attached pulse oximetry probe. A nose clip is used during the measurement session and real-time tracing of breath samples are displayed on the device screen and may be exported as PDF and image files.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM), based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document provides specific accuracy criteria for CO2 and O2 measurements, and SpO2/Pulse rate.

ParameterAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
CO2 Measurement± 2 mmHg from 0 - 38 mmHg (at ATPS) ± 5% of actual from 39 - 76 mmHg (at ATPS) ± 8% of actual from 77 - 99 mmHg (at ATPS)Met current gas monitoring standard accuracy requirements. This performance matches the acceptance criteria explicitly stated.
O2 Measurement< ± 1% (at ATPS)The text states "Subject device includes galvanic O2 measurement (as does reference Metaphor device)" and lists this as the performance, implying it met its specified accuracy.
SpO2 Accuracy± 3% Arms between 70 – 99% ( < 70% is undefined)Equivalent functionality. The clinical study results supported device accuracy claims for the specified saturation range. This matches the acceptance criteria explicitly stated.
Pulse Rate Accuracy± 3 BPMEquivalent functionality. "The device met acceptance criteria for pulse rate accuracy – effects of high respiration rate were noted in device labeling." This matches the acceptance criteria explicitly stated.

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

The document mentions "Controlled hypoxia test results were obtained in human adult volunteers" for SpO2 accuracy.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective, controlled clinical study in human adult volunteers. The country of origin is not specified.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated. However, the ground truth for SpO2 was determined by "arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry," which suggests a reliance on a gold-standard laboratory method rather than expert consensus on visual interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable as the ground truth for physiological parameters (like SaO2 via co-oximetry) is often established by a direct measurement method rather than expert interpretation needing adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a physiological monitor, and its accuracy is assessed against reference standards rather than human reader performance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • Standalone Performance: Yes, the described tests for CO2, O2, SpO2, and Pulse Rate accuracy are all standalone performance evaluations of the device's ability to measure these parameters against a reference/ground truth. The clinical studies were conducted to "assess the operation" and support "accuracy claims" of the device itself.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Ground Truth Type:
    • SpO2: Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry (considered a gold standard for blood gas measurement).
    • CO2, O2, Pulse Rate: Not explicitly stated, but typically these are validated against highly accurate reference gas analyzers or calibrated physiological simulators. The document refers to "test levels" for standards (ISO 80601-2-55 for respiratory gas monitors and ISO 80601-2-61 for pulse oximeters), implying a reliance on established reference methods and simulators.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. The document describes verification and validation for software (IEC 62304) and hardware performance testing. This is a medical device that makes direct measurements, not a machine learning or AI-driven diagnostic system that typically requires a 'training set' in the conventional sense.

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

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for a machine-learning algorithm. The device's functionality is based on established physical principles of gas analysis (Non-dispersive Infrared for CO2, galvanic cell for O2) and pulse oximetry (two-wavelength pulse measurement).

Discussion of Differences in Indications to the Predicate Devices

The submitted device and referenced predicate device have the following differences in their indication statements:

  • The specified patient population for the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM), adults at least 18 years of age, is o within the scope of claims of the predicate device, which specify adult through neonatal.
  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) specifies use in spontaneously breathing patients not simultaneously using supplemental Oxygen nor with other respiratory gases or agents. The predicate device may be used for spontaneously breathing or ventilated patients receiving supplemental Oxygen or other respiratory gases or agents. The claims for the subject device are within the scope of the predicate device.
  • The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) intended uses for respiratory gas, SpO2, and pulse rate measurements are similar to the predicate device. The physiological parameters directly measured by the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) include Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen by side stream gas measurement including respiration rate (RR) and functional saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) by pulse oximetry.
    • The predicate Capnostream 20 measures side stream Carbon Dioxide with respiration rate (RR) plus Sp2 o and pulse rate (PR).
    • The reference Metaphor monitor device measures side stream Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide with respiration O rate (RR), and optionally Nitrous Oxide gas plus SpO2 and pulse rate (PR).
  • . The measurement sites for the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) are equivalent to the predicate device: use of side stream gas measurement and a digit (finger for GEM) for pulse oximetry. The side stream measurement of patient breathing gas is equivalent in the subject and predicate device.
  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) utilizes a single patient use disposable mouthpiece for side stream breathing gas measurement placed in the patient's mouth and the predicate device utilize a disposable airway

{5}------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 4
MediPines CorporationDocument TitleK180902/S001 510(k) Summary
OriginatorMediPinesChange Order-Document Number Rev Page3 of 8

adapter for side stream breathing gas measurement which is typically placed in the patient's breathing circuit. The breathing gases obtained are equivalent, including both inspired and expired breath.

  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) specifies a reusable SpO2 sensor type which is applied on the patient's digit (finger sensor). The predicate Capnostream and reference Metaphor monitors make available a range of reusable finger sensors and other sensors, including disposable SpO2 sensors. The function and intended use for pulse oximetry is equivalent.
  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) is defined for short duration measurement sessions. The predicate Capnostream 20 is specified for continuous operation, and the referenced Metaphor is specified for spot check or continuous operation. The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) provides no alarms, which is consistent with the use as a spot check device for short duration use.
  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) and referenced Metaphor are specified for use in professional healthcare facilities. The Capnostream 20 defines both hospital use environments.

The differences in the wording of the subject and predications for use are not critical to the intended use of the device as a pulse oximeter sensor and do not affectiveness of the device when used as labeled for the following reasons:

  • Slight differences in terminology for the measured parameters are equivalent, i.e. all claims are readily understandable as referring to the respective measurements (example: ETCO2 versus end tidal concentration).
  • . The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) and the predicate device provide additional calculated numerical indices of pulmonary status based upon mathematical relationships between measured parameters. The Capnostream 20 provides an integrated pulmonary index (IPI) which is a numerical value of overall ventilatory status. Differences in pulmonary indices reported for the devices are accounted for by labeling which describes the indices and the calculations. Both the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) and referenced Metaphor Monitor provide calculated respiratory quotient (RQ).

The differences in the wording of subject and predications for use are within the scope of the predicate device for the intended use of the subject device as a pulse oximeter and respiratory gas monitor when used as labeled. In summary, the MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) has equivalent intended use, or where different, claims which are within those of the predicate device and the reference device, the Capnostream 20 and Metaphor Monitor, respectively.

(6) Technological Characteristics

The MediPines Gas Exchange Monitor (GEM) is designed for the same application and intended use as the listed predicate device, using the same technological principles. Refer to the following comparison tables:
