Intended Use

INSPIRE 6M is intended for use in adult and small adult surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. It provides gas exchange support and blood temperature control. INSPIRE 6M is intended to be used for 6 hours or less.

INSPIRE HVR is intended for use in adult and small adult surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. It collects, defoams and filters venous blood and suction blood. INSPIRE HVR can be used post-operatively for chest drainage. INSPIRE HVR is intended to be used for 6 hours or less.

Device Description

The INSPIRE 6 is consisting of an oxygenator (INSPIRE 6M) and a hardshell veo us/cardiotomy reservoir (INSPIRE HVR). The reservoir is connected to the gas exchange module by means of a molded fitting joint.

The INSPIRE 6 is a high efficiency microporous hollow fiber membrane oxygenator integrated with an heat exchanger and connected to an hardshell venous/cardiotomy reservoir.

The device can be operated at flow rates up to 6 liters per minute.

The hollow fiber membrane oxygenator provides oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal from venous blood. The integrated heat exchanger controls blood temperature and allows the use of hypothermia or aids in the maintenance of normothermia during surgery.

The integrated hardshell reservoir collects, defoams, filters venous and suction blood, and can be used post-operatively for chest drainage.

The INSPIRE 6 is a modified version of the currently marketed D905 EOS.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the INSPIRE 6 hollow fiber oxygenator with an integrated hardshell venous/cardiotomy reservoir. This document details the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and the non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

It's important to note that this document describes a medical device (an oxygenator and reservoir system) and not an AI/ML-enabled medical device. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study aspects requested for AI/ML devices (like sample size for test sets, data provenance, ground truth experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set information) are not applicable to this type of submission.

The "acceptance criteria" for this device are its performance in various in vitro tests to ensure its safety and effectiveness, and its substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

Here's a breakdown of the available information, tailored to what is provided in the document:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

For a medical device like an oxygenator, "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by recognized standards and guidance documents, which specify performance benchmarks. The document states that testing was performed in accordance with relevant FDA guidance and ISO standards (ISO 10993-1, "Guidance for Cardiopulmonary Bypass Oxygenators 510(k) Submissions," "Guidance for Extracorporeal Blood Circuit Defoamer 510(k) Submissions," and ISO 15674). The device's "performance" is reported as having successfully passed all these tests.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of devices or test samples used for each in vitro test. For medical device testing, sample sizes are typically determined by statistical methods to ensure robustness and acceptable confidence levels, often referencing ISO or ASTM standards, but these details are not present in this 510(k) summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data for AI/ML. The tests are in vitro (laboratory-based) performance and mechanical integrity tests conducted by the manufacturer, Sorin Group Italia S.r.l., located in Mirandola (MO) Italy. The data is prospective as it was generated specifically for this submission.

3. 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 applicable. This device is not an AI/ML system that requires expert-established ground truth from clinical cases. The "ground truth" for these tests is the objective measurement of the device's physical and functional properties against predefined engineering and performance specifications.


4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML system requiring human adjudication of clinical data.


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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML-enabled device. MRMC studies are used to evaluate the impact of AI on human reader performance, which is not relevant here.


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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.


7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the in vitro tests are the objective, measurable performance characteristics and physical properties of the device as defined by engineering specifications and recognized industry standards (e.g., specific thresholds for gas transfer rates, pressure drops, blood compatibility metrics, structural integrity limits, etc.).


8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML-enabled device that requires a training set.


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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML-enabled device.
