Intended Use

The Altrix system is intended for circulating temperature controlled warm or cold water via patient contact thermal transfer devices for the application of regulating human body temperature in situations where a physician with prescription privileges determines that temperature therapy is necessary or desirable.

Indications for use for the Altrix system include:
a. Maintain pre-set body temperature as determined by the physician
b. Maintain normal body temperature during surgical procedures
c. For use in all clinical settings including coronary care units, operating, recovery and emergency departments, burn units, and medical/surgical units
d. Adult and pediatric patients
e. Monitoring and controlling patient temperature
f. Temperature reduction in patients where clinically indicated, e.g. in hyperthermic patients

Device Description

The Altrix Precision Temperature Management System components include the controller, reusable hose set(s), thermal transfer devices, patient temperature probes and reusable adaptor cable(s). The controller regulates water temperatures between 4.0° C (39.2° F) and 40.0° C (104.0° F) and circulates the heated or cooled water via hose set(s) through the thermal transfer device(s). A graphical display provides the user an interface for selecting desired water or patient temperature settings, operating modes, help menus and other key parameters. Visual indicators are displayed to inform the user of system status or when the user must confirm a setting selection. The system's water temperature and flow outputs are monitored to ensure optimal system operation.

The controller can supply water to an individual or multiple thermal transfer devices simultaneously with each of these circuits monitored separately. Three operating modes are available to facilitate patient care: Automatic, Manual and Monitor. The patient temperature probe is used with the controller to provide closed loop feedback for automatic patient temperature management and monitoring. The controller alarms activate visual and audible indications for when safety parameters are exceeded or it detects system function or performance irregularities. The Altrix system also includes the ability to provide a patient temperature output reference signal to be connected to a non-specific third party device/system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Altrix Precision Temperature Management System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Medi-Therm Hyper/Hypothermia System) through a comparison of technological characteristics and non-clinical bench testing.

Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study information requested typically associated with clinical performance studies (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, type of ground truth for training) are not fully available or directly applicable in the same way as they would be for a device that relies on clinical performance data for its clearance.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is available, and what is not:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the sense of predefined thresholds for clinical performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) using a clinical dataset. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for this premarket notification are demonstrated through:

  • Substantial Equivalence: The primary acceptance criterion is that the Altrix device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (Medi-Therm Hyper/Hypothermia System) in terms of indications for use, technological characteristics, safety, and performance.
  • Compliance with Standards: The device must comply with relevant recognized safety and performance standards.
  • Successful Bench Testing: Non-clinical bench testing must successfully verify the device's function and performance to specified engineering requirements.

Table of Performance (derived from "Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence Summary" and "Bench and Standards Testing"):

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not Applicable in a clinical sense. The device relies on non-clinical bench testing, not a clinical "test set" of patient data. The provenance of the bench testing data would be from Stryker Medical's internal labs.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not Applicable. No clinical test set with human-established ground truth was used for this 510(k) clearance, as clinical testing was deemed not required.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not Applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication 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 is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was conducted.

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

  • Not Applicable. This device is a temperature management system, not an algorithm, and its performance is evaluated through engineering and functional testing.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For the non-clinical bench testing, the "ground truth" refers to engineering specifications, physical measurements (e.g., temperature, flow rates), and compliance with recognized industry standards. These are objective, measurable criteria.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. There is no mention of a training set as this is not a machine learning/AI device.

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

  • Not Applicable. No training set was used.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence Summary

Both Altrix and Medi-Therm share the same basic principles of operation. Altrix and Medi-Therm are temperature management systems that circulate temperature controlled water via centrifugal pump through a configurable combination of hoses connected to single or multiple thermal transfer devices which can be applied around, placed over or under a patient. Both systems use a heater to increase water temperature and a refrigeration system to decrease water temperature. Delivery and removal of thermal energy to and from the patient occurs at the contact point of the patient skin and thermal transfer device to raise or lower patient temperature. A patient temperature probe can also be used with each device to provide closed-loop feedback for patient temperature control capability.

Table 5-1 – Altrix Predicate Comparison

The indications for use, basic design, operational and technical characteristics of the Altrix Precision Temperature Management System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Medi-Therm Hyper/Hypothermia System.

Bench and Standards Testing

Non-Clinical bench testing was successfully completed to verify Altrix's function and performance to specified requirements. Bench testing included warming and cooling performance, mechanical and thermal overload conditions, controller abuse, environmental, fluid intrusion, and packaging.

Disinfection of the Altrix internal water system was validated using M. Mucogenicum. Additionally, Altrix was designed and/or tested to be in compliance with the relevant sections of the following standards.

The results of the non-clinical bench and standards testing provides evidence of Altrix's substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate device.

Clinical testing was determined not to be required to prove Altrix's substantial equivalence when compared to the predicate device.

Conclusion

The Altrix Precision Temperature Management System has been designed, tested and confirmed to comply with recognized safety and performance standards applicable to medical devices.

Based on Altrix's technological characteristics, completed non-clinical bench testing and comparison with the predicate device, we conclude that Altrix performs as well or better and is substantially equivalent to the predicate Medi-Therm device.
