The provided text describes the TM2000 FetalTrace Transtelephonic Receiving Center, a software system for remote monitoring of fetal/maternal parameters. However, it does not contain a detailed study demonstrating device performance against specific acceptance criteria.
The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (TM2000 K013879 Receiving Center) and addressing regulatory requirements for a 510(k) Premarket Notification.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, highlighting what's present and absent regarding acceptance criteria and a detailed study:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as a table with specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or response times for data processing). The document mentions "testing was conducted to verify the system compliance with all its design specifications" (page 4), but these specifications themselves are not detailed.
- Reported Device Performance: No quantitative performance metrics are provided. The "Conclusion" states: "The system constitutes a safe and reliable means for receiving, storing, displaying, analyzing, updating, printing and re-transmitting of patient Fetal/Maternal parameters and other patient related data. Its operation present no adverse health effect or safety risks to patients when used as intended." (page 4). This is a qualitative statement of intended function and safety, not a quantified performance report.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not provided. The document does not mention any test dataset, its size, or its provenance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable / Not provided. Since there's no mention of a test set or specific performance evaluation, there's no information about experts establishing ground truth for such a set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable / Not provided. No test set or ground truth establishment process is described.
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
- Not applicable / Not provided. The device is a "Receiving Center" software for processing and displaying fetal/maternal parameters, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers in the typical MRMC study context. There's no mention of AI assistance or comparative effectiveness studies with human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not provided. While the device is software that performs tasks like receiving, storing, and displaying data automatically, the document doesn't detail a "standalone" performance study in the sense of evaluating an algorithm's diagnostic accuracy or automated interpretation without human intervention. The focus is on the functionality and safety of the system as a whole.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable / Not provided. As no specific performance study with a test set is detailed, the type of ground truth is not mentioned. The device deals with "Fetal/Maternal parameters," which implies objective physiological data, but how the correctness of the processing or display of this data was validated isn't specified in terms of ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable / Not provided. The document does not describe any machine learning or AI components that would require a "training set." The system's purpose outlined is data handling (receiving, storing, displaying, etc.).
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable / Not provided. No training set is mentioned.
Summary of what is present and relevant to "study" information:
The document describes the TM2000 FetalTrace Transtelephonic Receiving Center as a software system designed to handle remote fetal/maternal monitoring data. It states that "testing was conducted to verify the system compliance with all its design specifications" within the framework of "Design Controls and Hazard Analysis." The system was determined to be a "moderate level of concern system." The overall conclusion is that it is a "safe and reliable means" and "present no adverse health effect or safety risks."
However, this is presented at a high level and acts as a declaration of compliance rather than a detailed report of a performance study with specific acceptance criteria, methodologies, or quantitative results. The provided information is typical for a 510(k) submission seeking substantial equivalence, emphasizing functional characteristics and safety over a detailed, quantitative performance validation study against defined acceptance metrics.

5. User Interface
The TM2000 Graphic User Interface (GUI) features pull down menus and dialog boxes for representation and updating of data. Generation of GUI and implementation of the related DB connectivity mechanism utilizes the C/C++ native methods in conjunction with the Windows API functions.
6. Substantial Equivalence
The TM2000 FetalTrace is substantially equivalent to its predicate TM2000 K013879 Receiving Center, cleared on Nov 23, 2001.
The TM2000 FetalTrace has the Fetal/Maternal service, with the user interface forms totally identical to those of TM2000 K013879.
The TM2000 FetalTrace differs from the TM2000 K013879 in two aspects:
-
- Unlike the TM2000 K013879, the TM2000 FetalTrace has no ECG and Spiro services.
-
- The TM2000 FetalTrace uses the Access DB engine while the TM2000 K013879 uses the Oracle DB engine. This aspect will be discussed in further detail Substantial Equivalence 2 TM2000 FetalTrace vs. TM2000 EasyTrace since the latter also uses Access.
The proof of substantial equivalence in all that concerns the intended use, principles of operation, features and technological characteristics is provided in Chapter 7. Substantial Equivalence to Cleared Devices.
7. Design Controls and Hazard Analysis
The Card Guard's product design procedure, and QA and QC policy, formalize the design and production process and assure that all the respective requirements are met. In the framework of the Design Controls the testing was conducted to verify the system compliance with all its design specifications.
The device Level of Concern criteria were evaluated and the system was determined to be a moderate level of concern system.
The rigorous design evaluation and the System Safety and Risk analysis expose potential failures or possible system flaws which could directly or indirectly effect the patient.
8. Conclusions
The system constitutes a safe and reliable means for receiving, storing, displaying, analyzing, updating, printing and re-transmitting of patient Fetal/Maternal parameters and other patient related data.
Its operation present no adverse health effect or safety risks to patients when used as intended.
