Device Description

NurseMate™ with Physio Module is a simple modification to EP-WorkMate® with NurseMate™ that allows data from an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) physiologic monitoring device (connected to NurseMate™) to be logged into the current EP-WorkMate® database. The benefit of this product is reduced manual data entry and improved data management. NurseMate™ with Physio Module PC workstation is connected to the EP-WorkMate® system; it may also be connected to an OEM physiologic monitor. Interconnection of NurseMate™ with Physio Module to a physiologic monitor is accomplished using a serial data cable. Use of an OEM physiologic monitoring device is not affected in any way by integration with NurseMate™; users follow the monitor's IFU and operate the device in accordance with its intended use.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the NurseMate™ with Physio Module based on the provided 510(k) summary:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a modification to an existing device (EP-WorkMate®) called NurseMate™ with Physio Module. A 510(k) summary primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting detailed clinical trial results with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way a PMA submission might.

Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly related to demonstrating that the modified device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and performs as intended without adverse effects on patient care or data integrity. The performance reported is primarily functional.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
1. Data Logging Functionality: Ability to accurately log data from OEM physiologic monitors into the EP-WorkMate® database."NurseMate™ with Physio Module is a simple modification to EP-WorkMate® with NurseMate™ that allows data from an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) physiologic monitoring device (connected to NurseMate™) to be logged into the current EP-WorkMate® database. The benefit of this product is reduced manual data entry and improved data management." "The NurseMate™ with Physio Module receives physiologic data from the OEM physiologic monitor for inclusion in the patient electronic charting log. Tabular data entries are stored as part of the patient file on the EP-WorkMate® as if the data were manually entered on the EP-WorkMate®." Demonstrated interface with the Advisor® Vital Signs Monitor [K010770] for TEMP, RESP, SpO2, NIBP, and EtCO2 data.
2. System Interoperability: Seamless and secure communication between NurseMate™ with Physio Module, EP-WorkMate®, and OEM physiologic monitors.Three basic interconnections are described: - EP-WorkMate® (PC) to NurseMate™ (PC) connection: client-server operation, CAT 5 networking cable, TCP/IP protocol. NurseMate™ can issue start/stop recording commands to WorkMate®. - NurseMate™ (PC) to EP-WorkMate® (Amp/SCU) connection: LAN connection hardware, Packet Driver protocol for viewing real-time EP waveforms. - NurseMate™ (PC) to OEM Physiologic Monitor: standard serial cable, DB-9 to USB connectors, basic serial data communications protocol. The system is designed to allow independent charting and monitoring by a nurse while the physician controls the EP study.
3. Safety & Control: NurseMate™ with Physio Module does not interfere with the control or primary functions of the EP-WorkMate® or the OEM physiologic monitor."NurseMate™ with Physio Module does not control the patient monitor and it does not control cardiac stimulation." "NurseMate™ with Physio Module controls only start/stop recording in the EP-WorkMate®; it does not control any aspect of other devices interconnected with the EP-WorkMate®." "NurseMate™ with Physio Module does not control the OEM physiologic monitor in any way. NurseMate™ with Physio Module has no alarms or real time physiologic data display; these functions remain separately resident on the physiologic monitor." "Use of an OEM physiologic monitoring device is not affected in any way by integration with NurseMate™; users follow the monitor's IFU and operate the device in accordance with its intended use."
4. Maintenance of Intended Use: The device retains the intended diagnostic use of the predicate EP-WorkMate®.The Indications for Use for NurseMate™ with Physio Module remains "indicated for use during clinical electrophysiology procedures," consistent with the original EP-WorkMate®. The modification is presented as an enhancement to workflow and data management rather than a change in diagnostic function.
5. Software and Hardware Equivalence: Software and hardware modifications are appropriately implemented and do not introduce new risks.Software: "modified version of the EP-WorkMate® with NurseMate™ application software," using the same Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Integrated Development Environment. Program code was added, indicating high similarity. Hardware: "identical to that of the original NurseMate™ system; these were designed and built using similar PC technology employed in the EP-WorkMate®." Comprises standard PC components.

Study Information:

This 510(k) summary describes a modification to an existing device, and the documentation provided does not detail a clinical study in the traditional sense (e.g., patient trials with statistically significant outcomes). Instead, it focuses on the design controls, verification, and validation processes used in integrating physiologic monitors with NurseMate™ with Physio Module to ensure the functional requirements outlined above are met and that the device remains substantially equivalent to its predicate.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • Not explicitly stated. The document refers to "design controls, verification and validation processes in the integration of physiologic monitors." This implies internal testing and validation of the software and hardware interfaces. No specific patient data test set or its provenance is mentioned as this device is an IT infrastructure modification for data handling, not a new diagnostic algorithm.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

    • Not applicable/not stated. As there isn't a specific diagnostic "ground truth" establishment in the context of a clinical study, this information is not provided. The "ground truth" for this type of submission would relate to the correct function and data integrity of the system during its operation.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable/not stated. Adjudication methods are typically used when there's a subjective assessment involved (e.g., image interpretation). This submission focuses on the functional performance and data integrity of a monitoring system interface, which would be verified through technical testing rather than expert adjudication of clinical outcomes.
  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. An MRMC study is not mentioned as this device is not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, but rather a system for data capture and display that integrates with existing diagnostic equipment.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • This is not an AI algorithm. The performance is assessed based on the correct functionality of the software and hardware interfaces within the broader clinical workflow. The device does not operate in a standalone diagnostic capacity.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" in this context would be the accurate and reliable transfer/logging of data from the OEM physiologic monitor to the EP-WorkMate® database, as well as the correct display of EP waveforms and the ability to initiate/stop recording. This would be established through technical verification and validation testing against specified functional requirements, likely involving engineering and clinical experts in system operation and data integrity, rather than a clinical ground truth like pathology.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. See above.

7.0 Device Description

  • of EP-WorkMate® with NurseMate™: Background description 7.1 Cardiac EP studies are diagnostic tests that enable physicians to look at electrical signals from within the heart in detail to determine if an abnormality (arrhythmia) exists. The cardiac EP laboratory is typically staffed with one or more physicians, nurses, and technologists thus making the lab a busy and sometimes crowded workspace. A physician directs the EP study and the operation of the EP-WorkMate® [K994011] system; some physicians operate the system, others direct a member of the clinical staff on the system operation. The EP-WorkMate® system is illustrated in Figure 1. Under the direction of a physician, the cardiac stimulator delivers diagnostic stimuli to the heart through the EP catheter(s). The heart's electrical response to the diagnostic signals is returned through the catheter(s) to the amplifier/signal conditioning unit (Amp/SCU). The amplified and conditioned signals are displayed as waveforms and tabular EP data on the EP-WorkMate® real-time display monitor for diagnosis by the physician. A physician may also choose to record/store the signals using the EP-WorkMate®
    Image /page/1/Figure/9 description: This image shows a diagram of a medical monitoring system. The diagram includes a patient connected to a junction box via catheters, pressure sensors, and a 12-lead ECG. The junction box is connected to an Amp/SCU, which is also connected to a stimulator. The Amp/SCU is connected to a WorkMate, which is connected to a real-time monitor, a review monitor, and a printer.

NurseMate with Physio Module 510(k) Summary

EPMedSystems

7.2

NurseMate™ [K063113] is a modification to the EP-WorkMate® computer that is offered as an option to customers under the name NurseMate™. NurseMate™ is a PC (Personal Computer) workstation that is connected to the EP-WorkMate® system for real-time patient charting, physiologic monitoring, and data analysis during electrophysiology (EP) studies. The interconnection of NurseMate™ to EP-WorkMate® is illustrated in Figure 2. Expanding the EP-WorkMate® system with the optional NurseMate TM creates an additional workstation for a member of the EP team such as a nurse. The additional workstation reduces crowding at the main EP-WorkMate® station and eases workflow congestion in the busy cardiac EP laboratory. Using NurseMate™ an EP lab staff member can perform patient charting (e.g., event titles, medications, and comments) and monitor physiologic data from the Amp/SCU including heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) on their own display separate from the physician who is controlling the EP study using EP-WorkMate® workstation. Figure 3 illustrates NurseMate's™ graphical user interface (GUI) displaying HR and BP.
