Intended Use

The Mac-Lab System is intended for use in a catheterization and related cardiovascular specialty laboratories under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. It is intended to monitor, calculate and/or record cardiovascular data from adult and pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization procedures. The data may be manually entered or acquired via interfaced devices. Data includes: ECG, heart rate, pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiration rate, EtCO2, temperature, valve gradients and areas, cardiac output, hemodynamic measurements, invasive and noninvasive blood pressure and procedural information and optional intracardiac electrocardiogram (IECG). Physiological parameters such as diastolic, systolic, and mean blood pressure, heart rate, and cycle length may be derived from the signal data, displayed and recorded. The system allows the user to monitor the acquisition of data, review the data, and generate reports on the data. Additionally, the system may acquire, amplify, display and record data received from other interfaced medical devices typically used during these procedures, such as imaging devices. The Mac-Lab System does not control the delivery of energy, administer drugs, perform any life-supporting or life-sustaining functions, or analyze data acquired during procedure. The Mac-Lab System does not transmit alarms or arrhythmias and does not have arrhythmia detection capabilities.

Device Description

The Mac-Lab System is a microprocessor based data acquisition system used during cath procedures to monitor, calculate and record physiological data from pediatric or adult patients. Data may be entered manually or acquired via an interfaced GE Medical Systems Information Technologies acquisition device, such as: TRAM module (K011000), EtCO2 module (K904789), CardioLab Amplifier Module (K910307), DASH 3000/4000 Monitor (K001359), Solar 8000M Monitor (K993757), MUSE cardiovascular system (K992637) or other peripheral interface. Data includes: ECG, pressure, respiration intracardiac electrocardiograms (IECG), and SpO2 waveforms, heart rate, pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiration rate, valve gradients and areas, cardiac output, EtCO2, hemodynamic measurements, invasive and noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and procedural information. The Mac-Lab joins together the acquisition devices with computer processors, software, highresolution display monitors, power supply, printers, keyboard and mouse. Digital data is transmitted, via cable, from the acquisition devices to the computer for processing. Major functions of the software include data acquisition and display, data storage, reporting of data, and transmission of data to the CardioLink INW server and other networked hospital information systems.

The product will be available in three configurations: CardioLab EP application only, Mac-Lab application only, or a combination of both CardioLab EP and Mac-Lab applications. The 'CardioLab EP only's configuration only allows the user to run the CardioLab EP mode. The 'Mac-Lab only' configuration only allows the user to run the Mac-Lab mode. The ComboLab configuration is the combination of both CardioLab EP and Mac-Lab modes, though only one mode may be used at a time (CardioLab EP for electrophysiological lab cases and Mac-Lab for catheterization lab cases).

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Mac-Lab/CardioLab EP/ComboLab System, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
Safety and Effectiveness"The Mac-Lab/CardioLab EP/ComboLab System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device." (K032577)
Compliance with Voluntary Standards"The Mac-Lab/CardioLab EP/ComboLab System complies with the voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9 of this submission."
Quality Assurance MeasuresApplied: Risk Analysis, Requirements Reviews, Design Reviews, Unit-level Testing (Module verification), Clinical Use Validation, Integration Testing (System verification), Final acceptance testing (Validation), Performance testing, Safety testing, Environmental Testing. Outcomes: Demonstrated equivalence in safety, effectiveness, and performance to the predicate device.

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

The provided text does not explicitly state a specific sample size for a test set in the context of validating algorithm performance or diagnostic accuracy. The testing mentioned (Unit-level, Integration, Final Acceptance, Performance, Safety, Environmental) seems to focus on the system's functional and safety aspects, rather than a clinical accuracy study with a defined test set.

  • Sample Size: Not specified for performance validation of algorithms or diagnostic accuracy.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The mention of "Clinical Use Validation" suggests some form of clinical data was involved, but details like country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature are absent.

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

This information is not provided in the given text. The submission references "Clinical Use Validation" but does not detail how ground truth was established or if experts were involved in a diagnostic accuracy assessment for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the given text.

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

  • Was it done? No, there is no mention of a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study. The submission focuses on demonstrating equivalence to a predicate device via functional and safety testing.
  • Effect Size: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was reported.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

The device described is a data acquisition and display system for physiological data, not an AI or algorithm-driven diagnostic tool that would typically have a "standalone" performance assessment in the absence of a human. Its function is to "monitor, calculate and/or record" data. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study, as typically understood for AI devices, was not conducted or reported. The validation focused on the system's ability to accurately acquire, process, and display physiological data, which inherently involves human interpretation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The text does not specify a "ground truth" in the context of diagnostic accuracy. Given the nature of the device (data acquisition, monitoring, calculation, and recording of physiological parameters), the "ground truth" would likely be the accurate and verifiable physiological signals and measurements themselves, rather than a diagnostic outcome (like pathology or a physician's final diagnosis). The system derives physiological parameters (diastolic/systolic BP, heart rate, cycle length) from signal data but doesn't perform diagnostic analysis or have arrhythmia detection capabilities.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The text does not mention a training set size. This type of device, which is primarily a data acquisition and display system based on well-established physiological monitoring principles, would not typically involve "training" in the machine learning sense. Its functionality is based on predefined algorithms for processing signals, not learning from a dataset.

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

Not applicable, as no training set is mentioned or implied for this type of device.
