Intended Use

To perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on adult patients and only adult patients in cases of clinical death as defined by a lack of spontaneous breathing and pulse.

Device Description

The RMCC is an automated, portable chest compressor, which provides continuous chest compressions as an adjunct to performing manual CPR. It is powered by a battery powered Control Unit. The RMCC provides consistent CPR support for cardiac arrest patients under conditions which might otherwise hinder the effectiveness of manual techniques.

    1. Compressor Assembly: contains a motor that drives the compressor pad to depress a patient's chest.
    1. Control Unit: contains the battery, power ON/OFF switch, Function Control Panel and umbilical power cord connecting it to the compressor assembly. Note: The battery charger is a separate unit.
    1. Torso Restraint: is placed underneath and around the back of the patient to firmly secure the compressor assembly to the patient.
    1. Stabilizer: serves a dual purpose; providing a head support and also attaches to the torso restraint to provide stability during continuous operation of the RMCC especially during patient transport.
AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the ROSC-U Mini Chest Compressor (RMCC), a mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitator, and makes claims of substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria for a device's performance, nor does it describe a study that explicitly proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria in the manner requested.

The document summarizes the device's technological characteristics and lists non-clinical performance tests. These tests are about fundamental safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, not specific performance metrics like compression depth accuracy, rate stability, or physiological outcomes, which would typically be included in acceptance criteria for a device like this.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance.
  2. Sample size and data provenance for a test set.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method for the test set.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study results.
  6. Standalone performance results.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document only mentions the following non-clinical performance tests:

Functional verificationPASS
IEC 60601-1 (2012)PASS
IEC 60601-1-2 (2007)PASS

It concludes that "After performing non-clinical performance studies, the data shows that the RMCC is substantially equivalent to the predicates as an external cardiac compressor." This suggests that the studies primarily aimed to show equivalence based on safety and general functional standards rather than defined performance acceptance criteria related to its CPR efficacy.

§ 870.5200 External cardiac compressor.

(a)
Identification. An external cardiac compressor is an externally applied prescription device that is electrically, pneumatically, or manually powered and is used to compress the chest periodically in the region of the heart to provide blood flow during cardiac arrest. External cardiac compressor devices are used as an adjunct to manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when effective manual CPR is not possible (e.g., during patient transport or extended CPR when fatigue may prohibit the delivery of effective/consistent compressions to the victim, or when insufficient EMS personnel are available to provide effective CPR).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Nonclinical performance testing under simulated physiological conditions must demonstrate the reliability of the delivery of specific compression depth and rate over the intended duration of use.
(2) Labeling must include the following:
(i) The clinical training necessary for the safe use of this device;
(ii) Adjunctive use only indication prominently displayed on labels physically placed on the device and in any device manuals or other labeling;
(iii) Information on the patient population for which the device has been demonstrated to be effective (including patient size and/or age limitations,
e.g., adult, pediatric and/or infant); and(iv) Information on the time necessary to deploy the device as demonstrated in the performance testing.
(3) For devices that incorporate electrical components, appropriate analysis and testing must demonstrate that the device is electrically safe and electromagnetically compatible in its intended use environment.
(4) Human factors testing and analysis must validate that the device design and labeling are sufficient for effective use by the intended user, including an evaluation for the time necessary to deploy the device.
(5) For devices containing software, software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(6) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
