Device Description

The telemedical system "sensor mobile" comprises the patient activated Tele-ECG device SM100 / vitaphone 100IR and the REMOS Receiving Software. The SM100 / vitaphone 100IR records and stores one-channel ECG episodes and transmits these data by means of a telephone or a mobile phone to a receiving station equipped with the REMOS Receiving Software for further processing. The Tele ECG device "sensor mobile" SM 100 / vitaphone 100IR, manufactured by TMS, is capable of recording, storing and transmitting up to three ECG episodes of 3C seconds each. The "sensor mobile" SM 100 is placed on the chest for post-event recording. The device is patient activated by pressing the record button. The 30-second ECG is stored in the device memory for later acoustic transmission via telephone or mobile phone in form of digital data (FSK) or via infrared (IrDA) and IrDA-enabled mobile phone to a telemedical central station equipped with the "sensor mobile" Receiving Software REMOS. The transmission is activated by pressing the send button. The device does not impair internal pacemakers and implantable cardioverters / defibrillators. The "sensor mobile" Receiving Software REMOS receives the digital ECG data via telephone line and stores it into a database. The receiving software is designed for automatic operation 24 hours a day. The ECG data will be converted to a human readable output in PDF file format with anonymized patient / user information.

AI/ML Overview

Study Details

The provided document describes a clinical testing for the "sensor mobile" system.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: 80 patients. One hundred ECG examples from these patients were transmitted and interpreted.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin but implies it was conducted by "TMS" (Telemedizinische Systeme GmbH), a German company. It is a prospective study as it describes "clinical testing" performed by TMS, transmitting and interpreting ECGs.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • The document states that "98 percent of the received ECGs could be interpreted." It does not specify the number of experts, their qualifications, or how many were involved in establishing the ground truth or interpretation for the test set.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It only mentions that ECGs were "interpreted."
  4. 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:

    • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly described. The "sensor mobile" is a Tele-ECG device for recording and transmitting, with the "REMOS Receiving Software" for further processing and converting to a human-readable PDF. The study focuses on the interpretability of the transmitted ECGs, not on the improvement of human readers with AI assistance.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not conducted or described. The system involves human interpretation of the transmitted ECGs. The software converts data to a human-readable format, implying human evaluation is part of the process.
  6. The type of ground truth used:

    • The ground truth appears to be based on expert interpretation of the received ECGs. The document states that "98 percent of the received ECGs could be interpreted" and mentions detection of basic rhythms, pacemaker function, and QRS complexes. This implies clinical experts were involved in verifying the physiological information present in the ECGs.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • The document does not specify a training set sample size. This submission is for a medical device (Tele-ECG system) which involves a hardware device and receiving software to transmit and present ECG data. It doesn't describe a machine-learning algorithm that would typically require a training set for model development.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Since no training set is described for a machine-learning algorithm, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not applicable here. The focus is on the successful transmission and interpretability of real patient ECGs in the clinical testing phase.

digital data is also used in the predicate device PHD™. The method of obtaining the ECG signal via metal contacts is identical.

The usage of the SM100 / vitaphone 100IR is also identical to the predicate device. The operational details are identical with the exception of the possibility of infrared / IrDA data transmission of the SM100 / vitaphone 100IR.

The "sensor mobile" Receiving Software REMOS receives the digital ECG data via telephone line and stores it into a database. The receiving software is designed for automatic operation 24 hours a day. The ECG data will be converted to a human readable output in PDF file format with anonymized patient / user information.

In the whole sending and receiving procedure is no substantial differerence between the telemedical system "sensor mobile" and the predicate device. Both systems are designed for transtelephonic transmission and uses software on the receiving side for further processing of the ECG data.

10. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

The system "sensor mobile" meets or exceeds the applicable requirements of international standards for ambulatory electrocardiographs and the safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and its applicable follow-up standards.

Biocompatibility assessment was performed for any materials in contact with the skin of the user / patient.

11. Summary of Clinical Testing

TMS has performed clinical testing on the "sensor mobile" system. The system was tested with 80 patients suffering from different cardiac dysrhythmia or patients that are suspected of having cardiac dysrhythmia (patients subjectively feel palpitations or pauses). One hundred ECG examples of the eighty patients have been transmitted and interpreted.

98 percent of the received ECGs could be interpreted which can be rated as a very good achievement. Especially due to the technical recording, the basic rhythm (sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular (heart atrium) tachycardia, or nodal

rhythm) could be detected with all the ECGs.

Furthermore, the function of pacemakers could be checked. The pacemaker spikes imaging and the reply of these spikes in the atrium or in the ventricle is good. Another possibility was the determination of wide QRS complexes (in the sense of a bundle-branch block pattern) in ECG examples.

The device sensor mobile SM100 and the service meet clinical demands.

12. Conclusion

Through the data and information presented TMS Telemedizinische System GmbH considers the "sensor mobile" system as substantially equivalent to the previously discussed predicate device.

The operation of the "sensor mobile" system shows a safe and reliable means for recording, transmission, storing, forwarding and presentation of patient ECG parameters and no adverse health effect or safety risk to patients when used as intended.
