Intended Use

This device is intended for monitoring PEF (Peak Expired Flow Rate) and FEV 1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second) for patient home use. The device is designed for pediatic to adult patients. The device is intended for monitoring respiratory conditions such as asthma.

Device Description

The MSA100 Peak Flow Meter is a medical device that measures patient's maximum possible exhalation which is called "peak flow" (referred to in medical terms as PEF-Peak Expiratory Flow) and "forced expiratory volume" (commonly known as FEV1) in one second. Regular monitoring of the peak flow is useful for monitoring diseases of the airways such as asthma, C.O.P.D, or chronic bronchitis, is usually used for patient home use.

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). It only mentions that "The sponsor has performed bench tests to demonstrate the MSA100 Peak Flow Meter performs within specifications." This suggests the testing was laboratory-based rather than involving human subjects for performance evaluation.

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

This information is not provided. The testing appears to be based on engineering and laboratory standards, not clinical ground truth established by medical experts for individual cases.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. The testing described involves bench tests against specified performance metrics and adherence to international standards, not subjective expert adjudication of results.

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 a measurement instrument (Peak Flow Meter) and does not involve AI or human "readers" interpreting data in a typical MRMC study context.

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

The device is a standalone instrument for measuring PEF and FEV1. The "algorithm only" concept doesn't directly apply as it's a physical device with embedded measurement technology (turbine transducer, photoelectric conversion). The performance described is its standalone measurement accuracy.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The ground truth used for specific performance metrics (like accuracy for PEF and FEV1) would be established by reference standards or calibrated equipment used in the bench testing. For biocompatibility and electrical safety, the ground truth is adherence to the specified ISO and IEC standards.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This device is a hardware measurement instrument tested against established engineering and performance standards, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
