Intended Use
The intended use of the Philips NM3 Respiratory Profile Monitor, Model 7900, is to provide: - cardiac output monitoring via the method of partial rebreathing in adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU). - spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED). Separate combination CO2/flow sensors are provided for adult, pediatric and neonatal use. - continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are well or poorly perfused during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED). The intended use of the VentAssist software option is to provide: - non-invasive monitoring of work of breathing per minute in adult patients receiving pressure support mechanical ventilation. - on-demand advice in mechanically ventilated adult patients as prescribed by the caregiver regarding (a) modifications to the current pressure support settings in order to assess the work of breathing and breathing pattern and (b) modifications to ventilation in order to maintain end-tidal CO2 in a range determined by the physician. The patients should be hemodynamically stable and must be breathing spontaneously.
Device Description
The NM3 monitor with VentAssist is intended for non-invasive monitoring of the inspired and expired airflow and airway pressure of intensive care unit (ICU), anesthesia and emergency room (ER) patients, as well as capnography and pulse oximetry in all of these clinical settings. It is intended to serve all of the same purposes as the flow, carbon dioxide, pulse oximetry, and cardiac output monitoring components of the predicate NM3 monitor with the addition of the optional VentAssist software. Combination CO2 adapter/flow sensors (neonatal, pediatric, adult), combination adult CO2 adapter/flow sensors with a partial rebreathing valve and flow sensors (infant/neonatal, pediatric/adult) are connected with a male pneumatic connector to the NM3 monitor. Sidestream airway adapters and nasal cannulas are available which are connected with a sample cell connector to a receptacle on the LoFlo Module which can be interfaced to the NM3 monitor. All of these sensors are already legally marketed as accessories of 510(k) cleared Respironics-Novametrix NM3 monitor. The pulse oximetry sensors are connected to the NM3 monitor via a connector on the front panel of the monitor. All of the pulse oximetry sensors are already legally marketed as accessories of the 510(k) cleared NM3 monitor and Masimo predicate devices. The principal function of the flow portion of combination sensors and flow sensors is to provide a differential pressure signal related to flow and airway pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. These sensors are often placed in the breathing circuit between the endotracheal tube and the ventilator circuit Y piece and may also be used in conjunction with a face mask or mouthpiece. The flow measurement portion of the NM3 monitor consists of a microprocessor-based data acquisition system that measures flow, and pressure and interfaces with a Capnostat 5 CO2 sensor. The CO2 airway adapter portion of the combination sensors, allow the Respironics-Novametrix CO2 mainstream gas sensor, the Capnostal® 5, to attach to it and measure the concentration of CO2 in the airway using infrared technology. When CO2 measurements are combined with airway flow and volume measurements, other parameters such as CO2 production and dead space can be calculated in all patient populations. The Capnostat 5 sensor as a mainstream gas analyzer includes a sample cell positioned in the breathing circuit through which a patient's inspiratory and expiratory gases flow. The LoFlo module, a sidestream type of gas analyzer, samples gases at 50 ml/min from a sampling port in an adapter placed in a breathing circuit or from a nasal or oral cannula. The gas then passes through a sampling tube to the sample cell, where the gas components are measured. The combination adult CO2 adapter/flow sensors with a partial rebreathing valve with periodic activation of the rebreathing valve allow pulmonary capillary blood flow and cardiac output to be calculated using the differential Fick method. The VentAssist software option comprises a new screen with a soft key that provides ondemand ventilator-independent open-loop advice with respect to the level of pressure support and ventilation. As an advisory system, the clinician can choose to accept or reject the advice, alleviating any issues of safety and effectiveness. Additionally, an improved method for the calculation of plateau pressure has been included, as well as a new calculated parameter for work of breathing (WOB). The WOB parameter facilitates the goal of reducing excessive work of breathing per minute, or power of breathing (WOB/min), for mechanical ventilatory support in patients with respiratory failure. The WOB/min parameter is implemented using an Artificial Neural Net (ANN) and is used by the PSV Advisor software. The VentAssist PS/V Advisor is a rule based system which provides on-demand advice for the setting of the PSV level and ventilator support levels, based upon WOB/min, breathing frequency, tidal volume, ideal body weight, and end-tidal CO2. The advice is based upon a set of logic rules developed and refined in conjunction with experienced critical care clinicians at teaching University hospitals. Decision support advice offered by the VentAssist software is available during monitoring of adult patients. The monitor uses the sensor-type (adult, pediatric, or neonate), as well as patient data entered into the monitor, to enable appropriate features.
More Information

Not Found

Yes
The document explicitly states that the Work of Breathing per minute (WOB/min) parameter is implemented using an Artificial Neural Net (ANN), which is a type of artificial intelligence/machine learning.

No
The device is primarily a monitoring device, providing various measurements and advising on ventilation settings, but it does not directly administer therapy.

Yes

The device is intended for "cardiac output monitoring," "spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring," and "continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate." It also performs "non-invasive monitoring of work of breathing per minute." These functions involve acquiring and analyzing physiological data to assess a patient's medical condition, which is a key characteristic of a diagnostic device. While it also provides "on-demand advice" for ventilator settings, its primary role includes monitoring and assessment.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as sensors (combination CO2 adapter/flow sensors, pulse oximetry sensors), a LoFlo Module, and the NM3 monitor itself, which are integral to the device's function. While it includes a software option (VentAssist), the overall system is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Philips NM3 Respiratory Profile Monitor, Model 7900, is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Philips NM3 monitor measures physiological parameters directly from the patient's body or breathing circuit (cardiac output via partial rebreathing, spirometry, CO2 monitoring, pulse oximetry). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring physiological functions and providing advice based on these measurements, not analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Philips NM3 Respiratory Profile Monitor falls under the category of a medical device but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The intended use of the Philips NM3 Respiratory Profile Monitor, Model 7900, is to provide:

  • cardiac output monitoring via the method of partial rebreathing in adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU).

  • spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED). Separate combination CO2/flow sensors are provided for adult, pediatric and neonatal use.

  • continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are well or poorly perfused during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED).
    The intended use of the VentAssist software option is to provide:

  • non-invasive monitoring of work of breathing per minute in adult patients receiving pressure support mechanical ventilation.

  • on-demand advice in mechanically ventilated adult patients as prescribed by the caregiver regarding (a) modifications to the current pressure support settings in order to assess the work of breathing and breathing pattern and (b) modifications to ventilation in order to maintain end-tidal CO2 in a range determined by the physician.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The rule set as implemented in the PS/V Advisor was tested in two separate clinical studies. One study tested if clinicians agreed with the PS Advisor recommendations, and the second study was similar but done blinded so the clinician was unable to see the recommendations of the PS Advisor.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The validation of the noninvasive work of breathing per minute parameter consisted of (a) validating the front end for esophageal pressure measurement with a cleared device, Bicore CP-100 Cardiopulmonary Monitor, (b) comparing invasive measurements of WOB/min using the esophageal balloon to noninvasive measures of WOB/min derived from proximal flow and airway pressure data collected from ventilated adults in the ICU (MICU, CICU, SICU, burn unit, step-down unit) who were breathing spontaneously on pressure support ventilation (bias and precision of 0.84 ±2.2 J/min) and (c) validating that the WOB/min algorithm was properly implemented in the embedded system, the Philips NM3 Monitor.

The rule set as implemented in the PS/V Advisor was tested in two separate clinical studies.

The intended use of the Philips NM3 Respiratory Profile Monitor, Model 7900, is to provide:

  • cardiac output monitoring via the method of partial rebreathing in adult patients . receiving mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU).
  • spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients . during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency

2

department (ED). Separate combination CO2/flow sensors are provided for adult, pediatric and neonatal use.

  • continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxvgen saturation and pulse . rate in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are well or poorly perfused during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED).
    The intended use of the VentAssist software option is to provide:

  • non-invasive monitoring of work of breathing per minute in adult patients receiving . pressure support mechanical ventilation.

  • on-demand advice in mechanically ventilated adult patients as prescribed by the . caregiver regarding (a) modifications to the current pressure support settings in order to assess the work of breathing and breathing pattern and (b) modifications to ventilation in order to maintain end-tidal CO2 in a range determined by the physician. The patients should be hemodynamically stable and must be breathing spontaneously.

g. Technological Characteristics

The previously cleared NM3 monitor contains a flow and carbon dioxide monitoring component consisting of the previously 510(k) cleared Mercury module with Capnostat 5, a pulse oximetry component consisting of the previously 510(k) cleared Masimo Rainbow Set OEM module, and a cardiac output monitoring component. The Mercury module with Capnostat 5 provides continuous monitoring of respiratory flow and pressure, and CO2. Additionally, besides the Capnostat 5 sensor, the previously cleared LoFlo C5 sidestream module may be interfaced to the Mercury Module. The Masimo Rainbow Set OEM module provides continuous monitoring of SpO2 and pulse rate. The cardiac output monitoring component provides cardiac output measurement capabilities using the partial CO2 rebreathing method. The VentAssist software option provides additional screens to display parameters in the predicate Philips NM3 Monitor in a bar chart format, and adds a new work of breathing (WOB/min) parameter computed with a fixed Artificial Neural Net (ANN). A new user-selectable soft key is available to receive on-demand advice. The advice is determined using a fuzzy-logic rule based system which provides on-demand advice for the setting of the PSV level and ventilator support levels based upon WOB/min, breathing frequency, tidal volume, ideal body weight, and end-tidal CO2. The advice is based upon a set of fuzzy logic rules developed and refined in conjunction with experienced critical care clinicians. The rule set is based upon commonly used measures of the patient's respiratory condition including patient effort and ventilation. The predicated Dräger Medical SmartCare™/PS software with the exception of work of breathing/min uses the same measures (i.e. breathing rate, tidal volume and end tidal CO2)

h. Validation

.

The validation of the noninvasive work of breathing per minute parameter consisted of (a) validating the front end for esophageal pressure measurement with a cleared device, Bicore CP-100 Cardiopulmonary Monitor, (b) comparing invasive measurements of WOB/min using the esophageal balloon to noninvasive measures of WOB/min derived from proximal flow and airway pressure data collected from ventilated adults in the ICU

(MICU, CICU, SICU, burn unit, step-down unit) who were breathing spontaneously on pressure support ventilation (bias and precision of 0.84 ±2.2 J/min) and (c) validating that the WOB/min algorithm was properly implemented in the embedded system, the Philips NM3 Monitor.

The rule set as implemented in the PS/V Advisor was tested in two separate clinical studies. One study tested if clinicians agreed with the PS Advisor recommendations, and the second study was similar but done blinded so the clinician was unable to see the recommendations of the PS Advisor. A peer-reviewed paper (Banner et al, Chest, 133(3):697-703, 2008) summarizing the results of the first study was published in 2008.

We believe the bench and clinical testing (discussed above) has demonstrated that the VentAssist PS/V advisor is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cited in section d.
