Not all features are available with all patient populations.
The Engström Carestation is not a pulmonary function calculation device.
The system is designed for facility use, including within-facility transport, and should only be used under the orders of a clinician.
The Engström Ventilator (EV) is a flexible, adaptable, and intuitive critical care ventilator. A wide selection of performance options gives the user full control of the system configuration. The Engström Carestation is a complete system featuring patient monitoring, patient ventilation, and the capability of interfacing with central information management systems.

Options include integrated respiratory gas monitoring capabilities via various Datex-Ohmeda patient monitoring modules listed in the product labeling, an integrated air compressor, capabilities to measure SpiroDynamics via an intratracheal pressure sensor in patients using sized 6.5 tracheal tubes and larger, and calculation of functional residual capacity of mechanically ventilated patients using Nitrogen Wash In/Wash Out method.
The ventilator consists of three main components: a display, a ventilator unit, and an optional module bay. The display allows the user to interface with the system and control settings. The ventilator unit controls electrical power, nebulization, and pneumatic gas flow to and from the patient. The module bay allows the integration of various Datex-Ohmeda patient monitoring modules with the ventilator.
Additional optional accessories include a trolley/cart, compressor, airway modules, module bay, support arm, humidifier and water trap mounting brackets, and auxiliary electrical outlets. The user interface for control of nebulization is provided via the ventilator display unit. The Aerogen Aeroneb Pro Nebulizer (K021175) is provided standard with the unit.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the GE Datex-Ohmeda Engstrom Carestation, a continuous ventilator. The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way medical device effectiveness studies for AI/software devices typically do.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and compliance with voluntary standards for medical electrical equipment.
Therefore, many of the requested sections (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, ground truth type and training set details) are not applicable or not provided in this type of regulatory submission for a physical medical device like a ventilator.
Here's a breakdown based on the information provided in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This document does not present acceptance criteria in terms of specific performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or a comparative performance study against a defined benchmark. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for a traditional device like this ventilator are implicitly met by:
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary "acceptance" is that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
- Compliance with Voluntary Standards: The device's design and testing demonstrate compliance with recognized industry standards.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (as stated in the document) |
|---|---|
| Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices | The GE Datex-Ohmeda Engstrom Carestation is substantially equivalent to: |
- GE Datex-Ohmeda Engstrom Carestation (K051895, K060862)
- Drager Evita XL (K051623)
- Drager Babylog 8000 Plus (K974176)
- Siemens Servo-I (K041111223) |
| Compliance with Applicable Voluntary Standards | The device was designed to comply with applicable portions of: - UL 2601 (General requirements for Medical Electrical Equipment)
- ASTM F1100 (Particular Requirements for Critical Care Ventilators)
- EN/IEC 60601-1 (General requirements for Medical Electrical Equipment)
- EN/IEC 60601-1-2 (Medical Electrical Equipment Electromagnetic Compatibility)
- EN 475 (Electrically Generated Alarm Signals)
- CGA V-1 ad ISO 5145 (Medical Gas Cylinders Threaded Cylinders)
- EN 980 (Graphical Symbols)
- EN/IEC 60601-2-12 (Medical Electrical Equipment Critical Care Ventilators) |
| Safety and Effectiveness for Intended Use | Provides mechanical ventilation for adults and pediatrics (5kg and above, optionally 0.5kg for neonates) with varying degrees of pulmonary impairment. |
| Performance of Integrated Components and Optional Accessories | Includes integrated FiO2, airway pressure, spirometry, volume monitoring, Aerogen Aeroneb Pro nebulizer. Options for integrated respiratory gas monitoring (via Datex-Ohmeda M-Gas Module/Mini-CO2 Module), integrated air compressor, SpiroDynamics measurement, and FRC calculation. |
Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The document states: "The GE Datex-Ohmeda Engström Carestation has been validated through rigorous testing that, in part, supports the compliance of GE Datex-Ohmeda Engström Carestation to the standards listed above."
This "rigorous testing" would likely include:
- Bench testing: To verify technical specifications and performance against design requirements and standards (e.g., airflow accuracy, pressure control, alarm functionality).
- Electrical safety and EMC testing: To comply with UL 2601, EN/IEC 60601-1, and EN/IEC 60601-1-2.
- Software verification and validation: To ensure the microprocessor-based control system functions as intended.
- Materials compatibility testing: For components in contact with gases or patients.
However, the specific details regarding the methodology, results, or quantitative metrics of these internal validation tests are not disclosed in this 510(k) summary. These details would be contained within the full 510(k) submission, which is not publicly available.
Due to the nature of this submission (a 510(k) for a physical ventilator, not an AI/software device), the following items are largely not applicable or not provided in this public summary:
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of device performance claims made via standards compliance and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Testing would involve engineering validation and verification, not a clinical "test set" in the sense of patient data for an algorithm.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a ventilator's physical performance is primarily against engineering specifications and industry standards, not expert clinical interpretation of data.
4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
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. This is for a physical ventilator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is for a physical ventilator.
7. The type of ground truth used: For a physical device, the "ground truth" would be established by:
* Engineering specifications and design requirements: Ventilator output (pressure, volume, flow) measured against intended values.
* Reference standards and calibrated equipment: For measuring performance parameters.
* Physiological models: For testing performance under simulated patient conditions.
* Clinical consensus on safety parameters: Ensuring the device operates within safe physiological ranges.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
