Intended Use

The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector is intended to detect and record abnormal breath sounds (continuous adventitious breath sounds/CABS) at the windpipe (trachea), reported as WheezeRate™ in adults and children (2 years and older). WheezeRate™ represents the percentage of abnormal breath sound detected during the measurement time. A licensed health care professional's advice is required to understand the meaning and importance of the SonoSentry™ readings.

Device Description

The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector is a hand-held electronic measurement device that utilizes an acoustic contact sensor to acquire, amplify, filter, record and analyze breath sounds at the trachea for the presence of continuous adventitious breath sounds/CABS. The device calculates and outputs a WheezeRate™ based on the amount of abnormal breath sounds detected in a given time. The device is designed for use in adults and children (ages 2 years and older).

The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector consists of:

  • . An acoustic contact sensor
  • . An air-coupled electret microphone for ambient noise reiection module
  • LCD screen to display measurement results .
  • . 4 user buttons
  • . Signal conditioning and digitization PCB
  • Dedicated DSP .
  • . SDRAM memory
  • . Embedded software
AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a specific performance metric table with pass/fail thresholds. However, it does state the device's intended use and the outcome of the clinical study.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Ability to detect and record continuous adventitious breath sounds (CABS), including wheeze.Demonstrated an acceptable agreement with physician detection of CABS in a a clinical study

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of participants (pediatric and adult) in the clinical study that formed the test set. It mentions "pediatric and adult study subjects."
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The study subjects had "a previous diagnosis of moderate to severe asthma." The study appears to be prospective since it describes "Sound files... were analyzed by the SonoSentry and an Expert Panel."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

  • Number of Experts: An "Expert Panel" was used, but the exact number of experts is not specified.
  • Qualifications of Experts: The Expert Panel consisted of "Board Certified Pulmonologists."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document states that an "Expert Panel consisting of Board Certified Pulmonologists" analyzed the sound files. It doesn't explicitly detail a specific adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1." It implies a consensus or agreement by the panel.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • Was an MRMC study done? Yes, the document explicitly states, "The Multiple Reader/Multiple Case Study demonstrated an acceptable agreement between the output of the SonoSentry and physician detection of CABS."
  • Effect size of human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: The document does not provide any specific effect size or quantitative measure of how much human readers improved with AI assistance compared to without it. It only states that there was "acceptable agreement" between the device and physician detection. The study seemed to compare the device's performance against physician assessment, rather than human performance with the device versus without it.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

Yes, a standalone study was done. The clinical study describes the SonoSentry analyzing sound files and its output being compared to physician assessment. This indicates a standalone evaluation of the algorithm's performance without direct human-in-the-loop assistance for the physicians in the comparison.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was expert consensus / physician assessment. Specifically, it was established by an "Expert Panel consisting of Board Certified Pulmonologists" who analyzed the same breath sounds.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size used for the training set of the SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector or its underlying algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

The document does not provide any information on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only discusses the clinical study used for performance evaluation (test set).

functions. The SonoSentry™ is available over-the-counter (OTC) as a tool to detect and record continuous adventitious breath sounds/CABS and report them as a WheezeRate ™. While the SonoSentry™ is an OTC device, a licensed healthcare professional's advice is required to understand the meaning and importance of the SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ readings.

The technological characteristics for the SonoSentry WheezeRate™ Detector are identical to those of the predicate device. The SonoSentry™ is identical to the Personal Wheezometer™ in design, physical size, materials and function. The SonoSentry™ software is a revision of the Personal Wheezometer™ software. The revised software does not add any additional functionality for the user, and has been documented and validated in the same manner as the predicate device. There have been no other technological changes since the 510(k) clearance of the Personal Wheezometer™. The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector is substantially equivalent to the Personal Wheezometer™.

Performance Testing - Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety

The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector has been tested to the following standards:

    1. IEC 60601-1:1988, A1:1991, A2:1995 Medical electrical Equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety
    1. IEC 60601-1-2:2001, A1:2004 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety -2. Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility -Requirements and tests

Performance Testing - Bench Testing

Bench testing was conducted to ensure the performance and functionality of the SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector. Testing included the following:

    1. Ambient Microphone Validation Testing
    1. Pressure Switch Validation Testing
    1. Algorithm Validation Testing
    1. Accuracy Testing
    1. Sensitivity Testing
    1. Embedded Performance Testing

Performance Testing - Clinical Study

A clinical study was conducted to ensure that the SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector can detect and record continuous adventitious breath sounds (CABS), including wheeze, compared to physician assessment of those same breath sounds. Sound files of pediatric and adult study subjects with a previous diagnosis of moderate to severe asthma were analyzed by the SonoSentry and an Expert Panel consisting of Board Certified Pulmonologists. The Multiple Reader/Multiple Case Study demonstrated an acceptable agreement between the output of the SonoSentry and physician detection of CABS.

Summary of Performance Testing – Conclusion

The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector and the legally marketed predicate device have the same intended use and technological characteristics. SonoSentry™ was demonstrated to meet the requirements for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility as specified in the FDA recognized IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards. Bench testing involving the ambient microphone, pressure switch, algorithm, device accuracy, device sensitivity and embedded system demonstrate the performance and functionality of the device and a clinical study demonstrate that the device fulfills its intended use. The SonoSentry™ WheezeRate™ Detector is substantially equivalent to the Personal Wheezometer™, that is, SonoSentry™ is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate and does not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness.
