The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not present a formal table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results in the classical sense of an AI/ML device showing specific metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity against predefined thresholds for a task like disease detection.

Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (MEB-2200A Neuropack). The key performance aspects are the technical specifications and the device's ability to perform the same medical functions as the predicate.

The following table summarizes the comparison between the new device (MEB-2300A) and the predicate (MEB-2200A) at a technical specification level, which serves as the "reported device performance" in this context.

Key Differences and Rationale for Changes (Improved Performance/Functionality):

  • Number of Channels: Increased (e.g., 4 to 6, 8 to 12). Rationale: Increased channel capacity.
  • Active Electrode jack: 4 ports added. Rationale: Noise is highly reduced by active electrode system.
  • A/D Converter: Improved from 16 bits to 18 bits. Rationale: Higher resolution.
  • Conversion Speed: Improved from 10 µs/channel max. to 5 µs/channel max. Rationale: Higher sampling speed.
  • Stimulus Modes: "Train series" added. Rationale: New functional mode.
  • Trigger Modes: External trigger input increased (EXT1/2/3/4/5/6) for complex waveform acquisition. Rationale: Increased connectivity and functionality.
  • Stimulus Intensity (Electric): Increased from 0 to 100 mA to 0 to 200 mA. Rationale: More stimulus intensity, comparable to other devices (e.g., Medtronic NIM-Spine).
  • EMG: "EMG2" added (Measuring mode with up to 4 measurement settings). Rationale: More flexible measurement settings.
  • Nerve Conduction: MCS, SCS, and T-WAVE integrated into one program (NCS) for efficient routine examination. Rationale: Improved workflow efficiency.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document explicitly states: "No clinical testing performed for this submission."

Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of clinical data for performance evaluation against human experts or ground truth. The evaluation is primarily based on non-clinical engineering and bench testing to demonstrate compliance with standards and equivalence in specifications to the predicate device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

As no clinical testing was performed and no test set was used to evaluate a clinical performance claim (e.g., diagnostic accuracy), there were no experts used to establish ground truth in this context. The "ground truth" for non-clinical testing typically refers to engineering specifications and measurements.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used.

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 device is an EMG/EP measuring system, not an AI-powered diagnostic algorithm that assists human readers in interpreting cases. No clinical MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.

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

Not applicable. This is a medical device for acquiring and displaying bioelectric signals, not an algorithm with standalone diagnostic performance. The device provides data for clinicians to interpret.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to the device's technical specifications as measured on a bench, and verification against established engineering and safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, CAN/CSA-C22.2 series). The design control process itself dictates verification against requirements and specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. It is a hardware and software system for physiological signal acquisition.

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

Not applicable, as no training set was used.

The device may also be placed in the intensive care unit or operating room for continuous recording.

The device is available for use on any patient as determined by the medical professional including adults and children.

3.0 Technical Characteristics

Setup for the device is performed by a medical professional in the graphical user interface environment of Windows XP or Windows 7. The operator enters patient identification data and specifies the testing protocol. The testing protocol specifies amplifier, acquisition, stimulation, and special parameters for recording data. Recording electrodes and/or sensors are attached to the patient and connected to the corresponding jacks on the junction box. Stimulation electrodes and/or accessories may also be connected. Skin-electrode impedance check is performed from the electrode junction box or the computer software to verify electrode connection and confirm impedance levels for non-invasive recording electrodes. Stimulation is activated to the patient if specified in the protocol.

The device provides 6 or 12 differential channels. Each channel has a pre-amplifier, post-amplifier, low pass filter, and high pass filter. Analog signals from the electrodes and/or sensors are transmitted to a preamplifier for conditioning. The signal output is then fed to the analog to digital converter (ADC).

{2}------------------------------------------------

The digitized electrophysiologic signals may be displayed on the monitor, printed, and/or stored to hard disk drives or other storage media. After completion of the study, the patient is disconnected from the device and medical professional prints and/or stores the data. The data can then be reviewed by a medical professional on the MEB-2300A/K system or another computer containing MEB-2300A/K review software.
