(6) MedApps IVR software application:
The software application calls the patient on any phone that is designated in their user profile, and executes an approved ("canned") script to gather information. ("Your nurse would like to talk to you, can I connect you now", "We haven't received a reading from you today, please send us your readings").
In addition, the MedApps IVR application will send out Email, SMS / Text Messages, Paging, IM and many other forms of communications in order to contact patients or caregivers. This will include reminders and alerts, based on parameters / thresholds set in the HealthCOM system.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the MedApps 2.0 - Remote Patient Monitoring System. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain acceptance criteria, nor does it describe a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness.
Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices based on technological characteristics and functional similarities. The "performance data" mentioned refers to non-clinical verification and validation testing, ensuring the system functions as designed and meets its requirements.
Therefore, for many of your requested points, the information is not available in the provided text.
Here's a breakdown based on the information that is available:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This information is not provided in the document. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics rather than specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) against a set of predefined acceptance criteria in a clinical context.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
This information is not provided in the document. The "Alpha validation testing" involved "testing of all executable code and functionality" and "exhaustive validation scripts of all Detail Design Specifications (DDS)." This refers to system and software testing, not a clinical test set with patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not provided. The testing described is non-clinical verification and validation of software functionality and system requirements.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not provided.
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
This information is not applicable/provided. The device is a remote patient monitoring system for collecting and transmitting physiological data, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring MRMC studies for human reader improvement. The document explicitly states: "The MedApps 2.0 - Remote Patient Monitoring System is not intended for diagnosis or as a substitute for medical care, and it is not intended to provide real time data."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
A standalone performance in the sense of diagnostic accuracy is not applicable. The "performance data" described refers to the non-clinical verification and validation of the system's ability to capture, store, transmit, and display data, and to execute functions as per its design specifications. It's a functional performance assessment, not a clinical performance assessment of an algorithm's diagnostic capability. The document states:
- "Alpha validation testing included testing of all executable code and functionality and confirmation that all identified hazards have been adequately addressed by software functionality, the user interface, documentation or user SOP."
- "Alpha validation activities included exhaustive validation scripts of all Detail Design Specifications (DDS)..."
- "The output of these two performance data records documents that MedApps 2.0 - Remote Patient Monitoring System met its required requirements and design specifications as intended."
7. The type of ground truth used
For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" was essentially the design specifications and requirements (Detail Design Specifications (DDS) and System Requirements Specifications (FDA-SRS-8009)). The testing confirmed that the device met these predefined functional and technical requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not provided and is not applicable, as this device does not describe an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense for diagnostic tasks.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not provided and is not applicable, as this device does not describe an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense for diagnostic tasks.
Summary of available information regarding claimed "study":
The "study" referenced in the document is a non-clinical verification and validation testing process, not a clinical trial or comparative effectiveness study.
- Acceptance Criteria (Implied): The device met its "required requirements and design specifications as intended" during specific Alpha validation activities. These requirements and specifications (detailed in Exhibit 08 - System Requirements Specifications (FDA-SRS-8009) which is not provided but referenced) served as the implicit acceptance criteria for functional performance.
- Reported Device Performance: The "output of these two performance data records documents that MedApps 2.0 - Remote Patient Monitoring System met its required requirements and design specifications as intended."
- Study Design/Methodology:
- Non-Clinical Testing: "significant verification and validation testing, Alpha validation testing included testing of all executable code and functionality and confirmation that all identified hazards have been adequately addressed by software functionality, the user interface, documentation or user SOP."
- Alpha Validation Activities: "exhaustive validation scripts of all Detail Design Specifications (DDS), which was summarized and discussed to provide a preliminary record of performance data. Additionally, the submitter duplicated the operational environment of a sophisticated user and provided the complete record of those executed scripts as operational performance data."
- Conclusion: The device "does not rely on an assessment of clinical performance data. The device conforms to FDA's recognized consensus standards and relies on its conformity to demonstrate its safety and efficacy. The device introduces no new questions concering the safety or efficacy and is, therefore, substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
The document clearly states that "The MedApps 2.0 - Remote Patient Monitoring System does not rely on an assessment of clinical performance data." This means it did not undergo studies focused on clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy against a ground truth from patient data. Its clearance was based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical comparisons and non-clinical functional testing.
