Device Description

The SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) is a device consisting of a stand-alone monitor, a digital sensor, a connecting cable, and accessories for sensor application and maintenance. The SDMS is designed for the continuous and non-invasive monitoring of carbon dloxide partial pressure (PCO2), functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR), using a single, digital sensor (V-Sign™ Sensor) applied to the ear lobe with the SenTec Ear Clip.

This new 510(k) adds two new Multi-Site Attachment Rings for PCQ2 monitoring only, applied to a conventional PCO2 measurement site:

  • MAR-A/P/N for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients .
  • MAR-A/P for adult and pediatric patients

The monitoring features of the SDMS are unchanged

The Multi-Site Attachment Rings consists of a round adhesive pad integrated with a snap ring. The adhesive pad attaches to the patient's skin at the measurement site and the snap ring captures the V-Sign™ Sensor while permitting rotation and removal/reinsertion of the ring is prepared for application by removing an adhesive liner film.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) and its 510(k) submission for new multi-site attachment rings. However, the document does not contain specific acceptance criteria or details of a clinical study that proves the device meets such criteria.

Instead, the submission relies on the concept of substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It states:

  • "In consideration of the Guidance Document for Cutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitors no additional Clinical studies were required and none were performed."
  • "The results of all laboratory and performance tests demonstrate that the SenTec Digital Monitoring System meets specified requirements." (However, these "specified requirements" are not detailed or quantified in the provided text).
  • "As described above, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System with Multi-Site Attachment Rings performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices. Device safety is substantiated by risk analyses and biocompatibility of patient contact materials."

Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot complete many of the requested sections as the information is not present. The device's "performance" is primarily described as being "equivalent" to predicate devices, and the document explicitly states that no additional clinical studies were performed.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what cannot:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

  • Cannot be created. The document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria or quantified performance metrics for the SenTec Digital Monitoring System with the new multi-site attachment rings. It only states that "laboratory and performance tests demonstrate that the SenTec Digital Monitoring System meets specified requirements" and performs "in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Not applicable for clinical studies. The document explicitly states: "In consideration of the Guidance Document for Cutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitors no additional Clinical studies were required and none were performed."
  • For non-clinical tests: "Application tests performed with the V-Sign Sensor and Multi-Site Attachment Rings confirmed that the sensor was properly positioned for measurement of PCO2." The sample size, data provenance, and specific results of these application tests are not provided.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set or ground truth established by experts is described, as no clinical studies were performed for this specific submission.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set is described.

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. This is a medical device for monitoring physiological parameters (PCO2, SpO2, PR), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool involving human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance is not relevant or mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable in the context of an AI algorithm. This device is a monitoring system and its performance is assessed based on its ability to accurately measure physiological parameters, not an algorithm's classification performance. The "clinical performance data" section states no additional clinical studies were required or performed.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Not explicitly stated for the "specified requirements" or equivalence claim. For the initial predicate device (K041548), one would infer that the ground truth for PCO2 and SpO2 measurements would have been established using reference methods (e.g., arterial blood gas analysis for PCO2/SpO2, and ECG for pulse rate). However, for this specific submission, no new ground truth is described as no new clinical studies were performed. The "equivalence" relies on the ground truth established for the predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

Summary of available information regarding performance:

  • Non-Clinical Performance:
    • Biocompatibility testing: "All materials met Biocompatibility requirements" per ISO 10993-1:2003.
    • Risk/Hazard Analysis: "All hazards were mitigated to ALARP levels... and residual risks were determined to be acceptable."
    • Application tests: "confirmed that the sensor was properly positioned for measurement of PCO2." (No further details on sample size or specific results provided).
  • Clinical Performance:
    • "no additional Clinical studies were required and none were performed."
    • The device is deemed to perform "in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices."

In essence, the 510(k) submission for the new multi-site attachment rings for the SenTec Digital Monitoring System relies on showing substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices, rather than presenting new clinical study data with specific acceptance criteria.

Comparison to predicate device [807.92(a)(6)]:

Confidential

{2}------------------------------------------------

The SenTec Digital Monitoring System has the same indications for use as well as the same indicated patient population as a combination of the predicate devices.

The new Multi-Site Attachment Rings are to be used only for PCO2 measurements. All relevant features of the SenTec Digital Monitoring System are equivalent to the TOSCA 500 as well as to the PCO2-part of the Microgas 7650. The key features are:

  • same principles of operation (2 wavelength SpO2 measurement, and PCO2 electrode technology) -
  • sensors heated to typically 42 °C (note SDMS uses 41°C for neonatal applications) ।
  • equivalent or similar means to control sensor temperature and application time at the site -
  • equivalent or similar sensor application means [adhesive Ear Clip and adhesive attachment rings]
  • equivalent or similar sensor calibration unit integrated in monitor -
  • equivalent or similar alarms, messages and menu structure as predicate devices -
  • equivalent or similar accessories for maintenance: membrane exchange tool, sensor contact gel, service gas

The method of operation is equivalent to that of the SenTec Digital Monitoring System listed under K041548, in particular for sensor preparation and monitoring.

Non-Clinical Performance data [807.92(b)(1)]:

Biocompatibility testing has been conducted for all patient contact materials in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2003. All materials met Biocompatibility requirements.

Detailed risk, hazard, and failure analyses were performed on the SDMS in consideration of the Multi-Site Attachment Rings. All hazards were mitigated to ALARP levels (as low as reasonably possible) and residual risks were determined to be acceptable.

Application tests performed with the V-Sign Sensor and Multi-Site Attachment Rings confirmed that the sensor was properly positioned for measurement of PCO2.

Clinical Performance data [807.92(b)(2)]:

In consideration of the Guidance Document for Cutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitors no additional Clinical studies were required and none were performed.

Conclusion [807.92(b)(3)]:

The results of all laboratory and performance tests demonstrate that the SenTec Digital Monitoring System meets specified requirements.

As described above, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System with Multi-Site Attachment Rings performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices. Device safety is substantiated by risk analyses and biocompatibility of patient contact materials.
