CardioNavigator Plus, a software product, is a computer program intended to organize and manage the databases for compatible Del Mar Reynolds Medical monitoring products and also to act as a "control panel" for these products. It is indicated when a user wishes to consolidate the databases of his Del Mar Reynolds Medical products.
CardioNavigator Plus, a software product, is a computer program intended to organize and manage the databases for compatible Del Mar Reynolds monitoring products and also to act as a "control panel" for these products. The software that formerly was used with these devices has been transferred to sections of CardioNavigator Plus. The program itself is supplied with all products.
The individual products are all data-gathering devices used to collect cardiology patient data (ECG or blood pressure). These devices were previously sold with dedicated software programs that allow the devices to be set-up or configured both to program the devices, and to receive downloaded data from the devices and produce reports. In general, the dedicated programs also have a database uniquely for data from that device. As noted before, these dedicated databases are replaced by the Cardio Navigator Plus database.
CardioNavigator Plus maintains a common cardiology database for the data collected by the compatible devices, and also permits the user to operate the various devices in a manner identical to the way they were operated as individual products. As a common database, CardioNavigator Plus stores data collected from each patient in the section of the database dedicated to that patient. When used as a method for operating the device, the user selects the icon associated with the device. The user then sees the opening screen for the operation of that device, and all succeeding screens, as they were seen when the device was used with its dedicated program.
CardioNavigator Plus has no capacity for analyzing electrocardiograms. When CardioNavigator Plus is uses with the Pathfinder Holter analysis program, the Pathfinder program is loaded into the same computer, and CardioNavigator can call Pathfinder, but there are no other links.
CardioNavigator Plus can be used on a personal computer (PC) that meets specifications established by Del Mar Reynolds Medical. CardioNavigator Plus will work with products already owned by the user, or with new products (included in the list of compatible products) that the user may purchase later.
CardioNavigator Plus will work on a single computer, but it has also been reconfigured to use as a server-workstation system (where the server and the workstation are still personal computers). If a single CardioNavigator Plus will still work on a single computer, but it has been re-configured to use a server-workstation system (where the server and the workstation are still personal computers). If a single computer is used, the server and workstation are combined in that computer
Based on the provided 510(k) summary for CardioNavigator Plus, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:
It's important to note that the CardioNavigator Plus is a software product for organizing and managing databases for compatible cardiology monitoring devices and acts as a "control panel." It does not analyze electrocardiograms or other medical data. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study design are focused on software functionality and equivalence, not diagnostic accuracy.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "extensively validated," but no specific number of test cases, patient data sets, or usage scenarios is provided for the non-clinical validation.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for the validation data. The product itself manages data from "Del Mar Reynolds monitoring products," which collect "cardiology patient data (ECG or blood pressure)." Whether the validation used synthetic data, existing patient data, or a mix is not specified. The study is prospective in the sense that the new software was developed and then "validated," rather than analyzing existing outcomes.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- This information is not provided. Given that this is a software utility product for data management and control, rather than a diagnostic device, the concept of "expert ground truth" in the typical clinical sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) is not directly applicable. The validation would likely be against functional requirements and software specifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- This information is not provided. As above, for a software utility, formal adjudication by clinical experts is unlikely to be the primary validation method. Validation would likely involve software testing methodologies, functional verification, and integration testing.
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
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
- The CardioNavigator Plus does not involve AI or analysis of medical data. It is a data management and control application. Therefore, there is no concept of human readers improving with or without AI assistance in the context of this device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Yes, a standalone validation was done, but it's not an "algorithm" in the diagnostic sense. The document states: "CardioNavigator Plus has been extensively validated by itself and in conjunction with the associated Del Mar Reynolds Medical devices." This indicates that the software was tested independently for its functional requirements (standalone) and its interaction with other devices (without human-in-the-loop diagnostic performance being the metric).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- The type of "ground truth" used would be based on software specifications and functional requirements. For example, ground truth for database management would be correct storage, retrieval, and organization of data according to predefined rules. Ground truth for control panel functionality would be successful execution of commands to compatible devices. It is not clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data, as the device is not diagnostic.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- This information is not applicable and not provided.
- CardioNavigator Plus is a rule-based software product for data management and control, not a machine learning or AI algorithm. Therefore, it does not have a "training set" in the context of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- This information is not applicable and not provided, as there is no training set for this type of software.
