Intended Use

This device is capable of displaying physiological parameters received from INFINITY monitors (SC 7000, SC 8000, SC 9000XL) and visually displaying alarm data for those parameters. The device is capable of displaying DICOM images received over a hospital information system.

The device is intended to be used in the environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals, i.e. physicians, nurses, and technicians, trained on the use of the device, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition.

The device is intended for use with the adult, pediatric and neonatal populations.

Device Description

The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation that acts as a display for physiological parameters received from an INFINITY patient monitor (SC 7000/SC 8000/SC 9000XL). Parameters are displayed (audio alarming and flashing visual indications are provided on the INFINITY patient monitor screen).

INFINITY EXPLORER utilizes the syngo (510k K010938) software platform and user interface common to other Siemens Medical modalities. INFINITY EXPLORER with syngo software is capable of displaying DICOM images retrieved from a syngo compatible image archive. A Task Card provides access to DICOM images.

AI/ML Overview

The Siemens INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters from INFINITY patient monitors and visually display alarm data. It is also capable of displaying DICOM images.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance metrics in the format of a table. Instead, it relies on a comparison to predicate devices and general statements about safety and effectiveness.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Display physiological parameters and alarm data accurately from INFINITY patient monitors."The INFINITY EXPLORER is a critical care workstation intended to display physiological parameters received from INFINITY Modular Monitors (SC 7000/SC 9000XL / SC 8000) and to visually display alarm data for those parameters." (Page 2)

Intended Population: Adult, Pediatric, and Neonatal."The INFINITY EXPLORER is intended to be used with the same patient populations as the INFINITY Modular Monitors, Adult, Pediatric, and Neonatal." (Page 3)
Intended Environment: Healthcare environment where patient care is provided by healthcare professionals."In a healthcare environment where patient care is provided by healthcare professionals." (Page 3)
Visual Alarm functionality."Yes" (Page 3, comparison table)
No Audible Alarm functionality."No" (Page 3, comparison table)

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical performance data for the INFINITY EXPLORER. It mentions "Verification and validations tests have been performed," but details about these tests, including sample sizes and data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective), are not provided in this summary.

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

This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. The document focuses on technical equivalence and intended use rather than studies requiring expert-established ground truth for a diagnostic AI.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. As no specific clinical test set is detailed, an adjudication method is not described.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned for the INFINITY EXPLORER. This device is a display and workstation, not an AI diagnostic tool, so such a study would not be applicable in this context.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

This is not applicable as the INFINITY EXPLORER is a display and workstation, not an algorithm or AI product requiring standalone performance evaluation in the usual sense. Its performance is tied to its ability to accurately display data from other devices.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Given the nature of the device (a display and workstation for physiological parameters and DICOM images), the concept of "ground truth" as typically applied to diagnostic algorithms (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) does not directly apply. The performance evaluation would likely focus on the accuracy and fidelity of data display and system functionality when compared against the source data (e.g., patient monitor outputs, DICOM image files).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The INFINITY EXPLORER is a workstation/display device and does not inherently involve machine learning models that require a "training set."

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

This information is not applicable, as there is no mention of a "training set" for this device.

Dear Ms. Greco:

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.

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

Page 2 - Ms. Penelope H. Greco

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
