Device Description

The HERMES O.R. Control Center is a computer-driven system whose basic function is to offer the surgeon the additional option of voice control for ancillary devices. The intent of the HERMES O.R. Control Center is to allow for simplified and more direct control of medical device settings by the physician, thereby eliminating the necessity of using the various interfaces existing on ancillary devices, or relying on verbal communications between the surgeon and other personnel in the operating room in order to adjust the surgical equipment.

AI/ML Overview

The HERMES® O.R. Control Center is a device that allows for voice control of ancillary medical devices during surgical procedures. The 510(k) summary provides information on the device's adherence to various engineering and safety standards, but it does not include a study proving device performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria in terms of AI accuracy or effectiveness.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document lists various standards the device was tested against. These are primarily safety, electrical, and software validation standards, not performance metrics related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes often seen in AI/ML medical devices. Therefore, the "reported device performance" in relation to clinical acceptance criteria is not applicable or provided in this context.

Acceptance Criteria (Standards Met)Reported Device Performance
IEC 601-1 (and Amendment 1)Met the standard for Medical Electrical Equipment
IEC 601-2-18Met the standard for Medical Electrical Equipment
UL 2601-1Met the Underwriters Laboratory standard
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1Met the Canadian standard for Medical Electrical Equipment
EN55022/A1 (Conducted Emission)Met the standard for Conducted Emission
EN55022/A1 (Radiated Emission)Met the standard for Radiated Emission
EN61000-4-2 (Electrostatic Discharge)Met the standard for Electrostatic Discharge
EN61000-4-3 and EN50140 (RF Immunity)Met the standard for RF Immunity
EN61000-4-4 (EFT/Bursts Immunity)Met the standard for EFT/Bursts Immunity
EN61000-4-5 (Surge Immunity)Met the standard for Surge Immunity
EN61000-4-6 (Conducted Immunity)Met the standard for Conducted Immunity
EN60601-1 (International Standard)Met the standard for Medical Electrical Equipment
EN60601-1-1 (Collateral Standard)Met the General Requirements for Safety
EN60601-1-2 (Emissions and Immunity Test)Met the Emissions and Immunity Test Measurements
VA-24772 (CMI System Functional Testing)Met internal functional testing requirements
CP-15345 (CMI Software Verification and Validation)Met internal software verification and validation requirements
VA-19795 (CMI Environmental Testing)Met internal environmental testing requirements

Note: This submission primarily focuses on electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and software validation for a device that provides voice control functionality. It is not an AI/ML device in the modern sense that interprets data for diagnostic or predictive purposes, and therefore, typical AI acceptance criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC based on clinical data are not present.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not describe a clinical "test set" for performance evaluation in the context of diagnostic or predictive AI. The testing mentioned refers to technical standards compliance (functional, environmental, software). Therefore, information on sample size, data provenance, or retrospective/prospective nature of a clinical test set is not applicable here.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

As there is no clinical "test set" for evaluating diagnostic or predictive performance, there is no information on experts establishing ground truth. The device's function is voice control, and ground truth would relate to the accuracy of voice command recognition and execution, which would be covered under functional testing (VA-24772).

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical test set for diagnostic/predictive performance 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. The HERMES O.R. Control Center is a voice-controlled interface for surgical equipment, not an AI system designed to assist human "readers" (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). The purpose is to streamline control, not to improve diagnostic interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

The device itself is a "human-in-the-loop" device by its very nature, as it responds to voice commands from a surgeon. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance, in the context of interpretation, is not applicable. Its standalone performance would be its ability to accurately recognize and execute commanded actions, which would fall under functional testing.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the functional aspects of the device, the ground truth would likely be the correct understanding and execution of voice commands by the system, as verified during "CMI System Functional Testing" (VA-24772) and "CMI Software Verification and Validation" (CP-15345). This is not a clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data, but rather a technical ground truth related to functional correctness.

8. The sample size for the training set

This device, in this submission, is not described as an AI/ML device that undergoes "training" on a dataset in the modern sense (e.g., for image recognition or predictive analytics). It's a control system with voice recognition. The "training" for such a system typically involves developing and refining the voice recognition algorithms against a collection of voice commands, but the document does not specify a training set size or methodology.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Given the absence of a described "training set" as understood in current AI/ML contexts, there is no information on how ground truth for a training set was established. For voice recognition, ground truth would usually involve correctly transcribed speech paired with the associated intended action, but these details are not provided in the 510(k) summary.
