The MasterScope / MasterScope ECG is intended to be used for measurement and data collection of lung function parameters. The system performs cooperation-dependent flow volume measurements. Mostly it will be used for COPD and Asthma patients.
In addition it is intended for measuring a 3/6- or 12-channel surface electrocardiogram (ECG) of a patient. The acquired ECG can be recorded and displayed on the screen or printed on paper. 12-channel ECG's are analysed automatically and suggestions for the interpretation of the 12-channel ECG can be made by the software.
MasterScope / MasterScope ECG can be used for non interpretive applications for patients with an age of 4 years and older and a weight of 20 kg or higher. MasterScope / MasterScope ECG is intended for use in routine ECG recording by trained physicians in the office or hospital. MasterScope / MasterScope ECG is not intended for intracardial use. Automatic interpretation of the ECG is not possible for pediatric patients with an age below 16 years and for pacemaker patients.
MasterScope CT (Clinical Trial version) incorporates the identical measurements. In addition it offers workflow control elements to restrict the use of the equipment (e.g. individual access rights are defined for different user roles like investigator, doctor, study nurse, trainer and service personnel).
The interpretation software is intended to support the physician in evaluation the ECG in terms of morphology and rhythm.
A qualified physician has to reassess all MasterScope / MasterScope ECG measurements. An interpretation by MasterScope ECG is only significant if it is considered in connection with other clinical findings. ECG interpretation statements made by the MasterScope / MasterScope ECG represent partial qualitative and quantitative information on the patient's cardiovascular condition and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements.
The MasterScope / MasterScope ECG / MasterScope CT is powered from 100 - 240V / 50 - 60Hz wall outlets. No energy is transferred to the patient.

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the MasterScope, MasterScope ECG, and MasterScope CT devices. However, this document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and detailing the general safety and development practices. There is no information provided regarding specific acceptance criteria, a detailed study proving device performance against these criteria, or any of the detailed aspects of a clinical study (like sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies).
The text mentions "Safety test procedures demonstrate satisfaction of all safety requirements and mitigation of all identified hazards" and that "The software was developed according to the IEC 601-1-4 Standard" and "The EMC testing was performed according EN 60601-1-2." These are general statements about compliance with standards and safety testing, not a detailed performance study against specific acceptance criteria for the device's functional performance (e.g., accuracy of ECG interpretation or spirometry measurements).
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer many of the questions based on the provided input.
Here's what can be inferred and what is missing:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Specific performance acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for ECG interpretation or spirometry measurements) are not detailed in the provided document. | Specific device performance metrics against defined acceptance criteria are not reported in the provided document. |
| General safety and regulatory compliance (e.g., IEC 601-1-4, EN 60601-1-2, FMEA) | Developed in accordance with Cardinal Health development SOPs (000490-06 Design Control). Risk analysis performed via FMEA. Safety test procedures demonstrate satisfaction of all safety requirements and mitigation of identified hazards. Software developed to IEC 601-1-4. EMC testing performed to EN 60601-1-2. |
Study Information (Based on available information in the document)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not specified. The document does not describe a specific clinical test set or its characteristics. It mentions the "MasterScope CT (Clinical Trial version)" but does not provide details of any clinical trial or performance study.
-
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 specified. No information is provided about experts or ground truth establishment for a test set.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not specified. No information for a test set is provided.
-
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 such study is mentioned or described. The device includes "Interpretation modules" for spirometry and an "Interpretation program Hanover ECG System (HES)" for ECG. The ECG interpretation states: "A qualified physician has to reassess all MasterScope ECG measurements. An interpretation by MasterScope ECG is only significant if it is considered in connection with other clinical findings." This implies the AI provides suggestions that are meant to be reviewed by a human, but no MRMC study comparing performance with and without AI assistance is described.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not explicitly stated for performance metrics. While the device has automated interpretation features, the document emphasizes that a physician must reassess the measurements, suggesting it's not intended for standalone diagnostic use. No specific standalone performance study results are provided.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Not specified.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not specified. No information about a training set for any embedded algorithms (like the HES interpretation program) is provided.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not specified.
Summary of Missing Information:
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on the technical specifications of the MasterScope devices (pulmonary function and ECG), their intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence. It confirms adherence to general safety and design control standards. However, it does not include the detailed performance study information typically associated with establishing specific acceptance criteria and proving device performance through clinical or algorithmic validation tests for features like automated ECG interpretation or precise spirometry measurements.
