There are three major components: Circuit, Controller, and Stand.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria, structured according to your request:

Device Name: MetaNeb® 4 System


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, particularly the MetaNeb® (K124032), rather than establishing new, specific performance acceptance criteria for the MetaNeb® 4 System itself. The acceptance criteria are implicitly met by showing the MetaNeb® 4 System performs equivalently or better than the identified predicates in key performance parameters.

The key performance comparisons are related to peak pressure in different therapy modes.

Acceptance Criteria (Implicitly, equivalence to predicate performance)Reported Device Performance (MetaNeb® 4 System)Predicate Performance (MetaNeb® K124032)
CPEP Mode @ High Flow Peak Pressure (cmH2O): Equivalent to predicate.10.7 to 29.910.7 to 29.9
CPEP Mode @ Medium Flow Peak Pressure (cmH2O): Equivalent to predicate.7.7 to 14.67.7 to 14.6
CPEP Mode @ Low Flow Peak Pressure (cmH2O): Equivalent to predicate.0.2 to 2.00.2 to 2.0
CHFO Mode @ High Flow Peak Pressure (cmH2O): Equivalent to predicate.11.2 to 25.411.2 to 25.4
CHFO Mode @ Low Flow Peak Pressure (cmH2O): Equivalent to predicate, specifically referencing K124032 data.8.7 to 20.38.7 to 20.3
Usability (Home Environment): All critical tasks completed successfully without use errors leading to unacceptable harm.100% of participants (caregivers and lay users) completed all tasks successfully without use errors that could lead to unacceptable risk of harm.Not directly comparable, as the predicate did not include home use.

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

  • Performance Comparison (Peak Pressure): The sample size for the bench tests is not explicitly stated as a numerical value (i.e., 'n'). The testing involved comparing the MetaNeb® 4 System to the MetaNeb® (K124032), PowerNeb (K051964), and IPV (K895485). The data provenance is generally "bench testing" performed by the manufacturer (Hill-Rom Services Pte Ltd). It's a prospective study of the device's physical performance characteristics.
  • Usability Study: The sample size is referred to as "2 user groups: caregivers and lay users." The specific number of participants within each group is not provided in this summary. The data provenance is a usability study conducted to evaluate the device's use in the home environment, likely a prospective study. The country of origin of the data is not specified.

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

This type of information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" for the performance tests (peak pressure) is the physical measurement of the device's output, compared against its own specifications and the previously cleared predicate devices' performance. For the usability study, the "ground truth" is the observation of user performance, not expert consensus on medical images or diagnoses.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as it typically refers to methods for resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations (e.g., in medical image analysis). For bench testing, direct measurement and data collection are used. For the usability study, observations of user performance were recorded, often with predefined criteria for success/failure, but an adjudication method for conflicting expert opinions is not mentioned because experts (in the sense of adjudicators) are not setting the "ground truth."


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

This information is not applicable. The MetaNeb® 4 System is a therapeutic medical device (non-continuous ventilator), not an AI/CAD (Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis) system. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI-assisted improvements for human readers are not relevant.


6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

This information is not applicable. The MetaNeb® 4 System is a physical device, not an algorithm.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Performance Comparison (Peak Pressure): The ground truth is established through physical measurements and engineering specifications of the device's output in various modes, compared to the previously established performance of predicate devices. This falls under bench testing data.
  • Usability Study: The ground truth is established through direct observation of user performance in conducting critical tasks with the device in a simulated environment. This is a form of empirical user performance data.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. Since this is a physical medical device (MetaNeb® 4 System) and its development involved engineering design and validation against performance specifications and predicate devices, there isn't a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.


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

This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above (not an AI/ML device). Engineering validation and design controls are used during device development, which are different from establishing ground truth for a "training set" in AI.

Device Description:

The MetaNeb® 4 System is a therapeutic device that uses a systematic approach to enhance normal mucus clearance and resolve or prevent patchy atelectasis.

The system has three modes:

  • Aerosol for the delivery of aerosol only. In this mode CHFO and CPEP are not available. .
  • . CHFO (Continuous High Frequency Oscillation) - a pneumatic form of chest physiotherapy that delivers medicated aerosol while oscillating the airways with continuous pulses of positive pressure.
  • . CPEP (Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure) - supplies medicated aerosol combined with continuous positive pressure to help hold open and expand the airways.

There are three major components to The MetaNeb® 4 System:

  • Circuit includes a mouthpiece, handset, nebulizer, tubing, and filter/tri-connector. It is a ● single patient use, assembly that is intended for multiple treatment sessions.
  • . Controller - contains the controls to select the three different modes. It also has a manometer to monitor pressure. Power is supplied by a hose connected to a 50 psi air or oxygen source, e.g., wall source, cylinder or portable medical air compressor.
  • . Stand - to move the MetaNeb® 4 System from room to room.

The MetaNeb® 4 System incorporates 2 changes vs. the predicate MetaNeb®, K124032. The changes are listed in Table 1.

Table 1 - Differences / Modifications between proposed MetaNeb® 4 System and Predicate MetaNeb® (K124032)

Indications for Use:

The MetaNeb® 4 System is indicated for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and also has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with compressed oxygen.

Patient Population - 5 years old and above whom can follow verbal instructions

Environment of Use - Hospitals, sub-acute and nursing facilities, physician offices, clinics, and home settings

Predicate Device Comparison:

The MetaNeb® 4 System is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because:

Indications -

The proposed indications for use for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and also has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with compressed oxygen are identical to the predicates.

Discussion: The indications for use are identical to the predicate Hill-Rom MetaNeb® system (K124032).

Patient Population -

The patient population is similar to the predicate MetaNeb®, K124032 but the lower age has changed to 5 years and above who can follow verbal instructions.

Discussion: The difference in patient population relates to the ability to use a mouthpiece in a home setting.

Environment of Use -

The addition of the environments of use to include nursing care facilities and home care settings is identical to the predicate Bird IPV (K895485).

{5}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary Page 3 of 9 15-Mar-16

Discussion: The expansion in the intended environments of use is substantially equivalent to the predicate Bird IPV (K895485). We have evaluated the risks associated with home use and performed a usability study that supports that the device may be used within this environment.

Technology -

The design of the MetaNeb® 4 System as a pneumatically operated system with different modes of operation: CPEP, CHFO, and aerosol only are identical to the predicate in design and basic function and performance.

Discussion: The design of MetaNeb® is identical to the predicate MetaNeb® (K124032).

Performance -

The basic performance features and parameters are identical to the predicate MetaNeb® (K124032). Discussion: The proposed changes do not alter the performance specifications of the proposed MetaNeb® 4 System and the predicate MetaNeb® (K124032).

Non-clinical Comparative Performance

Materials -

The materials in the gas and fluid pathway are considered as having 2 types of patient contact:

  • External communicating, tissue contacting, permanent duration and ●
  • Surface contact, mucosal contact, permanent duration for the mouthpiece ●

The materials are unchanged and identical to the predicate submission MetaNeb®, K124032. Discussion: All associated materials in the gas or fluid pathway are identical to the predicate Hill-Rom MetaNeb® (K124032). We did perform additional PM23 testing even though the controller is identical to the predicate MetaNeb® (K124032).

Bench Testing -

We performed a series of non-clinical bench tests to demonstrate that the modified MetaNeb® 4 System is equivalent to the predicates. These tests included:

  • Compatibility testing of portable air compressors to performance specifications
  • Performance comparison of air source, portable compressor vs. wall source ●
  • Biocompatibility Controller ●
    • o Material Certification
    • 0 PM2.5 testing for the controller reconfirmation only
  • . Usability - home environment

The comparative testing demonstrates that the proposed modifications are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
