Device Description

The OxyHeal 2000 series is a Class A multiplace hyperbaric chamber system designed to treat up to 12 patients to a maximum operating pressure of 6 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) or 73.5 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The chamber uses compressed air as the pressurization gas and 100% oxygen as the hyperbaric treatment gas. The overall external length of the chamber can range from 12 feet to 20 feet. Its internal diameter can range from 72 inches to 180 inches. Large circular windows create a more open atmosphere and help reduce patient claustrophobia. Pressurization is provided by compressed air with 100% oxygen administered to the patient by using properly fitting oro-nasal masks or head tents. A low-voltage patient intercommunication system provides communications between the patients in the chamber and the outside chamber operator. Single operator chamber pressure control is achieved via a simple industrial adjustable controller with output and input feedback. A pneumatic and manually operated control system is provided for triple control redundancy. A penetrator plate is provided in the vessel wall to allow user supplied intravenous lines, medical monitoring leads, etc., to be used as required. The large rectangular door allows a normal size patient gurney or wheelchair to be used to transport nonambulatory patients without having to transfer the patient to a smaller transport device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text, a 510(k) Notification Summary for the OxyHeal 2000 Hyperbaric Chamber Series (K011866), describes a medical device rather than an AI algorithm or software. Therefore, the typical "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as requested for an AI/software device performance evaluation are not directly applicable in the same manner.

This document describes the device's technical specifications, intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which is the regulatory pathway for this type of medical device. The "study" here refers to the comparison of the device's design and performance against established standards and predicate devices, rather than a clinical trial validating an algorithm's diagnostic accuracy.

However, I can extract information relevant to the intent of your request by describing the device's compliance with established standards and its equivalence to predicate devices, which served as the basis for its market acceptance.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for OxyHeal 2000 Hyperbaric Chamber Series (K011866)

For this type of device (a hyperbaric chamber), the concept of "acceptance criteria" is largely defined by adherence to recognized engineering standards and clinical practice guidelines, and demonstration of substantial equivalence to already approved devices.

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The "study" in this context is the 510(k) Premarket Notification itself, which substantiates substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices and compliance with relevant standards. No separate, formal clinical trial or AI performance study is described in this document for the OxyHeal 2000.

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

Not applicable in the context of an AI/software device. This device is a physical hyperbaric chamber. The "test set" for its acceptance is primarily its design documents, manufacturing processes, and comparison to predicate devices, and adherence to engineering and safety standards.

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

Not directly applicable in the terms for AI/software. However, the ground truth for the medical indications for use is established by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS). The UHMS is a professional medical organization that produces a list of medical conditions for which hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate, based on scientific validation and extensive data collection. While specific numbers of individual experts are not named, the UHMS represents a consensus of medical professionals specializing in hyperbaric medicine.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable as an adjudication method for a "test set" as understood for AI/software. The regulatory assessment involves the FDA's review of the submitted documentation, including design specifications, manufacturing controls, and the comparison to predicate devices.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool for human readers.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (hyperbaric chamber), not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The primary ground truth for the clinical indications and safety standards for hyperbaric oxygen therapy is:

  • Expert Consensus / Clinical Guidelines: The listed medical conditions for hyperbaric oxygen therapy are based on the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee Report (1999). The UHMS scientifically validates and verifies these indications through extensive data collection.
  • Engineering and Safety Standards: Compliance with ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ANSI/ASME-PVHO-1, and NFPA 99 for the physical design and operation of the chamber serves as a "ground truth" for safe and effective device construction.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device. The "training" for this device would refer to its design and manufacturing informed by existing engineering principles and predicate devices.

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

Not applicable as for an AI/machine learning algorithm. For a physical device, its "ground truth" or foundational knowledge comes from established engineering principles, material science, safety regulations, and the design and operational history of predicate devices. The substantial equivalence argument relies on demonstrating that the new device meets or exceeds the safety and efficacy profiles of these established products.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) defines hyperbaric oxygen therapy as breathing 100% oxygen at pressures higher than atmospheric in a hyperbaric chamber. Accordina to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), hyperbaric chambers are classified into two categories: Class A (multi-occupant) and Class B (single occupant). The OxyHeal 2000 series is a Class A multiplace hyperbaric chamber system designed to treat up to 12 patients to a maximum operating pressure of 6 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) or 73.5 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The chamber uses compressed air as the pressurization gas and 100% oxygen as the hyperbaric treatment gas.

The OxyHeal 2000 hyperbaric chamber series is intended to be procured and used by physicians to treat a variety of medical conditions that respond to hyperbaric oxygen. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) produces a list of medical conditions that have been identified for the appropriate primary or adjunctive use of hyperbaric oxygen. These approved conditions include: air or gas embolism; carbon monoxide poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning complicated by cyanide poisoning; clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene); crush injury, compartment syndrome and other acute traumatic ischemias; decompression sickness; enhanced healing of selected problem wounds; exceptional blood loss anemia; necrotizing soft tissue infections; osteomyelitis (refractory);

{2}------------------------------------------------

delaved radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis); compromised skin flaps and graffs; thermal burns; and, intracranial abscess. Aggressive research into the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen, when appropriately applied, will result in additional medical conditions being added to the list of indications by the UHMS.

The OxyHeal 2000 hyperbaric chamber series is designed and fabricated in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1. Pressure Vessels: ANSI/ASME-PVHO-1 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers-Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy); and, NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities, Chapter 19, Hyperbaric Facilities. The overall external length of the chamber can range from 12 feet to 20 feet. Its internal diameter can range from 72 inches to 180 inches. When combined, these features allow for the state of the art, hands on treatment of one (1) to 12 ambulatory patients in comfort. Large circular windows create a more open atmosphere and help reduce patient claustrophobia. Pressurization is provided by compressed air with 100% oxygen ( administered to the patient by using properly fitting oro-nasal masks or head tents.

A low-voltage patient intercommunication system designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 99. Chapter 19 and provides communications between the patients in the chamber and the outside chamber operator. It also provides patients with audio program content from external sources such as TV's, cassette players, radios, etc. The system consists of a master station mounted on the chamber operator's control console that contains all of the controls and connection points.

Single operator chamber pressure control is achieved via a simple industrial adjustable controller with output and input feedback. A pneumatic and manually operated control system is provided for triple control redundancy.

A penetrator plate is provided in the vessel wall to allow user supplied intravenous lines, medical monitoring leads, etc., to be used as required. The large rectangular door allows a normal size patient gurney or wheelchair to be used to transport nonambulatory patients without having to transfer the patient to a smaller transport device. This feature greatly improves patient handling safety. OxyHeal has concluded that the general design approach, method of pressure control, and intended use of the OxyHeal 2000 hyperbaric chamber series is substantially equivalent to the Tampa Hyperbaric Enterprises' Hyperbaric Chamber (K960389). the Perry Baromedical Services Sigma MP Multiplace Hyperbaric Chamber (K930748), the Gulf Coast Hyperbarics, Inc. Multiplace Hyperbaric Treatment System (K950957), the Reimers Engineering T Class Hyperbaric Facility (K954387) and is proposing them as predicate devices for the OxyHeal 2000.

Intended Use:

It is the expressed, intended use of the OxvHeal 2000 hyperbaric chamber series to provide therapy to those patients with selected medical conditions that have been determined to respond to the application of hyperbaric oxygen. As a Class II prescriptive device, it is further intended for physician involvement in its procurement and routine use.

The UHMS is the professional medical organization chartered with setting the standards of care defining the appropriate use of hyperbaric oxygen. More specifically, the UHMS publishes a listing of medical conditions that have been clearly established as appropriate primary or adjunctive use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The disorders on the list have been scientifically validated and verified through extensive data collection. It should be noted that the list is dynamic. Based on the strength of the scientific data, disorders are both added and removed from the list, depending on the outcomes of scientific pursuit.
