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

The provided document describes the technical specifications and adherence to recognized standards for the Collins GEM device. It does not contain information about a specific "test set" in the context of a clinical performance study with human subjects or a defined dataset. The performance metrics listed are technical specifications that would be verified through engineering and calibration tests, not typically a clinical test set with patient data.

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

Not applicable. The document does not describe a study involving expert-established ground truth for a test set. The validation appears to be based on adherence to engineering specifications and industry standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. The document does not describe a study involving adjudication of a test set.

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

No. The document does not mention a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it discuss human reader improvement with or without AI assistance. This device is a diagnostic instrument, not an AI-based interpretation tool.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:

Yes, in the sense that the device's technical specifications and performance are evaluated independently against established standards and calibration procedures. The description mentions "production, step responses, linearity, noise, and drift parameters are monitored, and the pass/fail criteria are identical to that of the CPL." This implies standalone testing of the device's components against predefined thresholds.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for the device's technical specifications is rooted in:

  • Industry Standards: Performance guidelines set by organizations like the American Thoracic Society (ATS) for spirometry and carbon monoxide diffusing capacity.
  • Calibration Standards: Use of known volume displacement devices (e.g., 3-liter syringe) and known gas concentrations for calibration.
  • Engineering Specifications: Internal design and performance thresholds for electrical, mechanical, and analytical components.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This document describes a medical device, not an AI model, so there is no concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning.

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

Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, this question is not relevant to the provided text.

Intended Use

The GEM is intended to be used for diagnostic use in the treatment of pulmonary illnesses with an intended use and indication for use as a configurable, non-invasive pulmonary function tester (PFT) testing system.. The GEM is indicated for use in: pulmonary function testing.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

Electrical: A medical grade switching power supply is used that operates on 115-240 VAC 50-60 Hz, at 3.15 Amps.

Weight: 18 lbs., 8.2 Kg

Spirometer: The pneumotach is a single-screen bi-directional device that is used in conjunction with commercially available pressure transducers. Resistance is < 1.4 cmH2O/L/Sec @ 14 L/Sec. Volume accuracy is +/- 3%, and it is calibrated by using a known volume displacement device 3-liter syringe as a standard.

GemTach

Type: Single screen pressure differential Linearity: 2% Resistance: < 0.5 cmH2O/L/Sec @ 14 L/Sec Accuracy: +/- 3% Flow Range: +/- 15 L/Sec

Gas Analyzers: The analyzers consist of a fast-response Infrared analyzer for the measurement of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4), and an electrochemical sensor for fast-response oxygen (O2) measurement. Calibration is accomplished by setting the span with known gas concentrations. In production, step responses, linearity, noise, and drift parameters are monitored, and the pass/fail criteria are identical to that of the CPL.

Multi-Gas Type: Infrared CO, CH4 Range: 0-3000 ppm CO2 Range: 0-15% Response: < 100 ms Sample Rate: 100 Hz Accuracy: 1% Linearity: < 1% Noise < 1% full scale

Dear Mr. Henton:

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.
