The GE Datex-Ohmeda Avance is intended to provide general inhalation anesthesia and ventilatory support to a wide range of patients (neonatal, pediatric, adult). It represents one of the systems in a long line of products based on the Datex-Ohmeda Excel, Aestiva, and Aespire Anesthesia Systems. It is to be used only by trained and qualified medical professionals in the administration of general anesthesia. The Datex-Ohmeda Avance Anesthesia System supplies set flows of medical gases to the breathing system using electronic gas mixing. Gas flows are selected by the user using the keypad and rotary controller on the main display unit and then displayed as electronic flow meters on the system display unit. The Avance is equipped with a pneumatic back-up O2 delivery system and traditional flow tube, as well. A large selection of frames options, gases, and vaporizers are available to give the user control of the system configuration. The Avance is also available in wall-mount and pendant models. It is available with two or three gases, up to two vaporizer positions and up to three cylinder connections. All models have O2. The Avance comes with up to two optional gases (air, N2O). The Avance systems accept Tec 4, Tec 5, Tec 6, and Tec 7 vaporizers on a Selectatec manifold. Safety features and devices within the Avance are designed to decrease the risk of hypoxic mixtures, agent mixtures and complete power or sudden gas supply failures. The Avance system is available with optional integrated respiratory gas monitoring. When supplied as an option, the integrated respiratory gas monitoring is provided via the Datex-Ohmeda M-Gas Module (M-CAiO and M-CAiOV software revision 3.2 and above cleared via K001814) and E-Gas Module (E-CAiOVX software revision 4.5 and above cleared via K051092) which can be physically integrated into the Avance, receive electronic power from the Avance and communicate measured values to the Avance for display on the system display unit. The Datex-Ohmeda 7900 Anesthesia Ventilator is used in the Avance Anesthesia System. It is a microprocessor based, electronically controlled, pneumatically driven ventilator that provides patient ventilation during surgical procedures. The 7900 ventilator is equipped with a built-in monitoring system for inspired oxygen, airway pressure and exhaled volume. Sensors in the breathing circuit are used to control and monitor patient ventilation as well as measure inspired oxygen concentration. This allows for the compensation of compression losses, fresh gas contribution and small leakage in the breathing absorber, bellows and system. User setting and microprocessor calculations control breathing patterns. The user interface keeps settings in memory. The user may change settings with a simple and secure setting sequence. A bellows contains breathing gasses to be delivered to the patient. Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is regulated electronically. Positive pressure is maintained in the breathing system so that any leakage that occurs is outward. An RS-232 serial digital communications port connects to and communicates with external devices. Ventilator modes for the device include Volume Control Ventilation (VCV), Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) (optional), Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation/Pressure, Support (SIMV/PSV) (optional), Pressure Support Ventilation (PSVPro) (optional), Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation-Pressure Control (SIMV-PC) (optional), Pressure Control Ventilation-Volume Guaranteed (PCV-VG) (optional), Constant Positive Airway Pressure/Pressure Support Ventilation (CPAP/PSV), and Volume Control Ventilation Mode for Cardiac Bypass Mode. Ventilator parameters and measurements are displayed on the system display unit. Several frame configurations are available, including one that allows for the physical integration of the GE Monitors (most recently cleared Carescape B850 via K092027 and B650 cleared on K102239). This configuration also provides cable management solutions such that the necessary connections from the monitor display unit to the monitor are hidden within the Avance frame. Additional configurations allow for the mounting of various patient monitors on the top shelf of the Avance.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for the GE Datex-Ohmeda Avance Anesthesia System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than establishing de novo acceptance criteria and performing a study to prove they are met.
Therefore, the requested information categories concerning acceptance criteria and study design are not directly applicable or present in this type of regulatory submission. The document explicitly states: "The modifications made to the GE Datex-Ohmeda Avance did not require clinical testing."
However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical testing that was performed to support the substantial equivalence claim, which serves as a form of acceptance in the context of a 510(k) submission.
Here's a breakdown of the available information, addressing as many of your points as possible:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a 510(k) submission for an updated device, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly tied to demonstrating that the updated device performs equivalently or better than the predicate devices and meets its own verified specifications. The document does not provide a table for specific performance metrics and their acceptance ranges. Instead, it describes a robust non-clinical testing approach.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance / Evaluation Method |
|---|---|
| Performance (General) | Thorough verification of specifications and validation, including software validation. |
| Safety | Compliance with applicable voluntary standards. |
| Software Functionality | Complete evaluation of modified software features (e.g., pediatric improvements, checkout improvements, new ventilation mode, lung mechanics procedures, display enhancements). |
| Risk Mitigation | Risk Analysis conducted. |
| Design Integrity | Requirements Reviews, Design Reviews conducted. |
| Unit Level Testing | Module verification. |
| Integration Testing | System verification. |
| Simulated Use Testing | Validation performed. |
Study Details (Non-Clinical)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified as a number of "samples" in the clinical sense. The testing involved various modules, integrated systems, and simulated use of the device.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). However, the testing was conducted internally by the manufacturer (Datex-Ohmeda Inc.) as part of their development process. It is by nature "prospective" in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to evaluate the new device's modifications.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: Not specified. This type of non-clinical engineering validation typically involves internal engineers, quality assurance personnel, and potentially subject matter experts who understand anesthesia systems.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified, but implied to be qualified technical and engineering personnel involved in the device's design, development, and testing at Datex-Ohmeda.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. This concept pertains to clinical studies where independent reviewers agree on ground truth. In non-clinical engineering testing, "adjudication" is managed through formal test protocols, defect tracking, and review processes by the development and quality teams.
-
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:
- MRMC Study: No. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, but an anesthesia system. Therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant. This document explicitly states: "The modifications made to the GE Datex-Ohmeda Avance did not require clinical testing."
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Standalone Performance: The non-clinical testing evaluates the device's inherent performance characteristics, including its software logic and hardware functionality, in a standalone manner (i.e., its ability to perform its functions as designed without direct human intervention in the moment of testing, though human users operate the system during its intended use). The testing verifies that the "algorithm only" (software) performs as specified.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Ground Truth: For non-clinical engineering validation, the "ground truth" is defined by the device's design specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements. The device is tested against these predefined criteria to ensure it performs as intended and safely.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model.
In summary: The GE Datex-Ohmeda Avance Anesthesia System underwent a non-clinical verification and validation process. The "acceptance criteria" were met through demonstrating compliance with design specifications, software validation, risk analysis, and adherence to voluntary standards. No clinical studies were deemed necessary due to the nature of the modifications and the substantial equivalence claim.
