2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The provided document does not detail specific sample sizes for test sets in clinical studies. The performance testing primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical specifications and compliance with standards.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly mentioned in terms of patient data. The evaluation appears to be based on engineering and performance testing against established standards and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a clinical trial with a specific patient test set.
- Data Provenance: The document does not mention data provenance in terms of country of origin or whether studies were retrospective or prospective, as the device's approval is based on substantial equivalence and technical performance, not new clinical data generation.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
No information regarding experts establishing ground truth for a test set is provided. The submission relies on technical comparisons to predicate devices and adherence to regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 60601) to support its claims of safety and effectiveness.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as no dedicated test set requiring clinical adjudication is described in the provided information.
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. The device is a bio-potential signal acquisition system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically be evaluated with an MRMC study for human reader performance improvement. It does not provide automatic analysis or diagnostic judgments.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The device is a hardware and software system for acquiring and displaying bio-potential signals; it does not contain an AI algorithm that operates standalone for diagnostic purposes. The software is explicitly stated "not intended to do automatic analysis of the recorded signals" and "not intended for use as an automated apnea monitor."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by its adherence to internationally recognized electrical safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series) and by demonstrating that its technical specifications and intended use are equivalent to existing, legally marketed predicate devices. This is a regulatory "ground truth" rather than a clinical one derived from patient outcomes or expert consensus on a specific diagnostic task.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. The device is not a machine learning or AI model, so there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. Its design and validation are based on engineering principles and regulatory compliance.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model. The evaluation of this device is based on comparing its specified performance characteristics and safety profiles to those of legally marketed predicate devices.
