Intended Use

The Spectros T-Stat™ 303 Microvascular The Tissue Oximeter is intended for use as an adjunct monitor of the localized hemoglobin oxygen saturation of blood in the microvascular tissue spaces (StO2%) in infants, children, or adults at risk for reduced-flow and no-flow ischemic states.

The prospective clinical value of measurements made with the T-Stat™ Oximeter has not been demonstrated in disease states. The T-Stat™ Oximeter should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or therapy.

Device Description

The Spectros T-Stat™ 303 Tissue Oximeter is a broadband, multiwavelength, Visible Light Spectroscopy (VLS) monitoring system for measuring the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen in the microvascular tissue spaces (StQ2%).

The complete system consists of a disposable sensor probe connected to a software-driven electronic monitor. Data collection, analysis, and display functions are provided by the monitor. Illumination of the tissue is provided by a visible light source in the sensor probe placed near, on, or into the target tissue to be studied. Reflected light is captured and returned to the monitor via a detachable connection at the monitor end of the patient probe. StO2% is estimated using differential optical diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and fitting for background scattering over a range of reflected visible wavelengths.

AI/ML Overview

The Spectros T-Stat™ 303 Microvascular Tissue Oximeter's acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided text as numerical thresholds for performance metrics. Instead, the document describes the device's performance in comparison to predicate devices and previously published studies to establish substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, structured around your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As specific acceptance criteria (e.g., "accuracy must be > 90%") are not detailed, this table will reflect the comparative performance statements provided in the submission.

Performance AspectAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Hemoglobin Spectra & Desaturation Binding CurvesAccurate measurementAccurately measured in peer-reviewed in vitro studies.
Bias against NIRS Predicates (StO2%)Unbiased-1% ± 5% (p=N.S.) when compared to NIRS predicates.
Range of Normal (StO2%)Tighter range than NIRS predicates62-75% for VLS vs. 48-88% for NIRS (p<0.001).
Sensitivity to Reduced-flow & No-flow Ischemic StatesDemonstrated sensitivityDemonstrated sensitivity in peer-reviewed animal and human studies (p<0.001).

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for human or animal studies that generated the performance data.

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document refers to "peer-reviewed animal and human studies."
  • Data Provenance: The studies are described as "peer-reviewed animal and human studies." No specific country of origin is mentioned. The studies appear to be prospective, as the device is being tested for its functional performance.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The studies are referred to as "peer-reviewed," which implies scientific scrutiny, but details on ground truth establishment are absent.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The adjudication method is not described in the provided text.

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

An MRMC study was not conducted as described. The focus is on the device's standalone performance and its comparison to other measurement methods (NIRS, pulse oximetry) and general "predicate devices," rather than on how human readers improve with AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Yes, standalone performance was done. The document focuses exclusively on the performance of the T-Stat™ device (alcohol only) in making measurements.

  • "T-Stat™ accurately measured hemoglobin spectra and desaturation binding curves in peer-reviewed in vitro studies."
  • "T-Stat™ StO2% determined using VLS was unbiased in comparison to StO2% determined using NIRS predicates..."
  • "T-Stat™ VLS tissue oximetry was demonstrated sensitive to reduced-flow and no-flow ischemic states..."

These statements describe the direct output and accuracy of the device's measurements.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The type of ground truth appears to be based on:

  • Comparison to established methods/predicates: For StO2% bias, it was compared to "StO2% determined using NIRS predicates."
  • Physiological gold standards: For sensitivity to ischemic states, it was
    demonstrated against "reduced-flow and no-flow ischemic states," which represent clear physiological conditions. For in vitro studies, it measured "hemoglobin spectra and desaturation binding curves," presumably against known chemical or spectroscopic standards.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information on a training set. The descriptions relate to evaluation studies rather than the development of a machine learning model with distinct training and test sets.

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

As no training set is described, this information is not applicable.

VI. In Vitro and In Vivo Test Data

In studies of T-StatTM:

  • T-Stat™ accurately measured hemoglobin spectra and desaturation binding curves in peer-reviewed in vitro studies.
  • T-Stat™ StO2% determined using VLS was unbiased in comparison to StO2% determined using NIRS predicates (StO2% Bias = - 1% ± 5%, p=N.S.), but VLS demonstrated significantly tighter ranges of normal in peer-reviewed animal and human studies (VLS normal range 62-75% vs. NIRS reported at 48-88%, p<0.001).
  • T-Stat™ VLS tissue oximetry was demonstrated sensitive to reduced-flow and no-flow ischemic states in peer-reviewed animal and human studies (p<0.001).
  • T-Stat™ VLS tissue oximetry provides readings in low and no flow -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ischemic states in human clinical studies.

VI. Comparison to Predicate Devices

A. Similarities

Both T-Stat™ and the predicate tissue oximeters:

  • Use the same fundamental optical operating principle, called diffuse । reflectance spectroscopy.
  • Use light from an LED to probe a cross-section of the microvasculature of tissue (arterioles, capillaries, and venuole).
  • -Analyze light returning from tissue, after having passed through the tissue, for hemoglobin in its oxygenated and deoxygenated forms in the optically sampled region.
  • -Calculate StO2%, a value reflecting the percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen in the microvascular capillary spaces

Both T-Stat™ and the predicate pulse oximeters:

{3}------------------------------------------------

Use the same fundamental optical operating principle, called diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

4 / 5

  • -Analyze light returning from tissue, after having passed through the tissue. for hemoglobin in its oxygenated and deoxygenated forms in the optically sampled region.
  • | Calculate and display a relative hemoglobin value used for assessment of device functionality, proper probe placement, and system operation.

Both the T-Stat™ and the endoscope predicates:

  • Emit visible light into the tissues and detect a portion of the light backscattered from tissues in the oral cavity, colon, endoscopic procedures.
  • । Use low power light that does not adversely influence the physiology of the target tissue.

B. Differences

T-Stat™ and the predicate Tissue Oximeters differ in the following nonsignificant ways:

  • 2048 vs. 4 Wavelengths: T-Stat™ measures light at 2,048 wavelengths; the । predicate devices use 4 or fewer wavelengths. An increase in the number of wavelengths used increases the robustness of the matrix solutions by which StO2% is calculated. This is because the solution becomes statistically overdetermined at such large wavelength counts (number of measurements is very much greater than the number of unknowns in the equation).
  • VLS US NIRS: T-Stat™ uses only visible light (VLS); the predicates use ו both visible and near-infrared light (NIRS). Both methods involve diffuse reflectance spectroscopy; only the wavelength range has changed. Laboratory and clinical values are not changed by the adoption of VLS in favor of NIRS; In vivo, mean VLS StO2% was unbiased compared to NIRS.
  • -Laser us, Non-Laser LED: T-Stat™ uses a non-laser LED; the predicates use laser LED's. LED choice does not affect the underlying technology of the measurement. The energies emitted by the T-Stat™ non-laser LED and the predicate laser LED's are comparable.

T-Stat™ and the predicate pulse oximeter differ in the following non-significant ways:

  • Tissue Oximetry: Pulse oximeters estimate arterial saturation, rather than | tissue hemoglobin saturation; however, the predicate for tissue oximetry is

{4}------------------------------------------------

other tissue oximeters, not pulse oximetry, and therefore this difference is not significant.

T-Stat™ and the predicate endoscopes differ in the following non-significant ways:

  • -Analysis: Endoscopes typically do not provide spectral analysis; however, the predicate for spectroscopic analysis for hemoglobin saturation is tissue and pulse oximetry, not endoscopy, and therefore this difference is not significant.
  • C. Result of Comparison

The Spectros T-Stat™ 303 Microvascular Tissue Oximeter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
