AI/ML Overview

This document describes the marketing application for changes to the Maquet FLOW-i Anesthesia System, specifically versions C20, C30, and C40. The primary purpose of the document is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a previously cleared predicate device (FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 3.0, K133958), allowing the manufacturer to market the updated device without a new premarket approval application (PMA).

Based on the provided text, there is no information about a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way a clinical AI/ML device would be evaluated for accuracy or performance on a test set of data.

This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on device modifications and demonstration of substantial equivalence through non-clinical testing and comparison to a predicate device, rather than a clinical performance study with predefined acceptance criteria for diagnostic/therapeutic efficacy.

Therefore, it is not possible to fill out the requested table and details regarding acceptance criteria, test set sample size, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, or standalone performance, as these concepts are not applicable to the information provided in this 510(k) submission.

The acceptance criteria here pertain to meeting regulatory standards, ensuring safety, and demonstrating that the modifications do not introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness, meaning its performance is equivalent to the predicate device.

However, I can extract the following relevant information regarding the changes and how the manufacturer demonstrated the device's continued performance and safety:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document does not present acceptance criteria as quantitative performance metrics for a diagnostic or therapeutic function. Instead, it details that the modifications introduce new functionalities and updates for regulatory compliance, and that the device "performs within its specifications and within the limits of the applied performance standards."

The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred as successful completion of the listed non-clinical tests and demonstration that the modified device remains substantially equivalent to the predicate. The "performance" is the successful outcome of these tests and the comparison to the predicate.

Feature/CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (as demonstrated)
Compliance with 3rd edition 60601 standard package (IEC 60601-1, ISO 80601-2-13, ISO 80601-2-55)Meets the requirements of the updated standards.Design verification and validation demonstrated compliance. Changes like BTPS volume reporting implemented.
New function: Recommended ventilation values (PBW)Provides reasonable good ventilation setting start values.Software functionality implemented to suggest RR, TV, MV based on patient data.
Lower alarm limit for Airway pressure alarm: HighAllows setting a lower limit for enhanced flexibility/safety.Alarm limit can be set to 10 cmH2O (previously 16 cmH2O).
Display of Airway resistance measurementMeasures and displays airway resistance after hold.New measurement provided following Inspiratory and/or Expiratory Hold.
Software upgrades (Vaporizer, SCO, O2 measurement, FCI)Improved functionality as intended.Implemented and tested; concluded not to raise new safety/effectiveness questions.
Hardware/Accessories changes (US power outlets, CO2 absorber switch, patient cassette lid)Maintains safety and performance while providing convenience/usability.Implemented and tested; concluded not to change technology or performance.
Overall Safety and EffectivenessNo adverse effect on safety or effectiveness compared to predicate.Risk analysis performed, necessary verification and validation activities completed; concluded substantial equivalence.

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

  • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a "test set" for a diagnostic/therapeutic AI/ML algorithm. This submission focuses on engineering validation and verification.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The tests performed are laboratory/bench testing and engineering evaluations against design requirements and safety standards. There is no patient data involved in the "test set."

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

  • Not applicable. Ground truth in this context refers to engineering specifications and regulatory compliance, not expert clinical labels on patient data. Performance was verified against technical specifications and standard requirements.

4. Adjudication Method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set:

  • Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving human readers or interpretation of results that require adjudication.

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:

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This 510(k) is for modifications to a medical device (anesthesia system), not a diagnostic AI/ML algorithm that assists human readers.

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

  • Not applicable. The device is a physical anesthesia system with integrated software, not a standalone algorithm. Its "performance" is its ability to deliver and monitor anesthesia according to specifications and safety standards.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Ground Truth Type: Engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., IEC 60601, ISO 80601), and the performance characteristics of the predicate device.
  • Examples: Accuracy range for gas concentrations (e.g., Sevoflurane conc: Accuracy: ±0.15 vol% @ (0-1%)), pressure ranges, alarm thresholds, volume measurement accuracy.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm trained on a dataset. The software changes are programming implementations, not machine learning model training.

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

  • Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" in the context of this device's modifications. The software and hardware changes are based on design requirements, safety standards, and user needs, which were then verified and validated through non-clinical testing.

{6}------------------------------------------------

CHANGES AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION

Comparison of Intended Use

The Intended Use for the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 is identical to the predicate device. FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 3.0 (K133958).

Comparison of Technology Used

There are minor changes in the technological characteristics for the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 compared to the predicate device FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 3.0 (K133958). See below.

Similarities and differences

The main improvements introduced in the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 from the predicate device FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 3.0 (K133958) are:

Updates of the product for compliance with 3td edition of the 60601 standard package

The second edition Anesthesia standard, IEC 60601-2-13:2003, gave the manufacturer the option to choose between BTPS (Body Temperature and Pressure ambient, Saturated humidity) and ambient. The third edition Anesthesia standard, ISO 80601-2-13:2011, mandates BTPS.

The predicate version of FLOW-i presented volumes as AP21 (Ambient Pressure at 21%, dry).

The subject FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 presents volumes as appearing at the Ypiece by the patient interface as BTPS - volumes presented are compensated for normal body temperature (37°C), ambient pressure and relative humidity (100%).

A new function that provides recommended ventilation values (PBW)

A new function that provides reasonable good ventilation setting start values which are confirmed by the user. Based on entered patient category, gender, weight, and length start-up values for the Respiratory Rate (RR), the Tidal Volume (TV) or the Minute Volume (MV) are suggested.

In mechanical ventilation this function can be used to help reduce the risk that differences in body weight will affect the estimated ventilation needs for different patients. Once the user has started ventilating the patient, the user will fine tune the settings.

Possibility to lower the alarm limit for the Airway pressure alarm: High

The lower alarm limit for the Airway pressure alarm: High will be possible to set to 10 cmH2O, previously 16 cmH2O.

Display of Airway resistance measurement

Following an Inspiratory and/or Expiratory Hold, FLOW-i will in addition provide measurement of the airway resistance.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Other minor modifications to the FLOW-i Anesthesia System 4.2 consist of:

Software upgrades:

  • Vaporizer improvements
  • System Check Out (SCO) improvements
  • Improvement of O2 measurement
  • . Improvements to the FLOW-i Communication Interface (FCI)

None of the modifications above implemented in the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 raise any new type of questions of safety and effectiveness.

Labeling changes:

Updates of labelling for compliance with 3th edition of the 60601 standards package

None of the labeling changes implemented in the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 changes the technology or performance of the FLOW-i Anesthesia System.

Hardware/Accessories changes:

  • US power outlets have been added as an option for the power outlets. In the previous . FLOW-i version only IEC power outlets existed. The only change is the power outlets. No other change has been made to the isolation transformer.
  • . The CO2 absorber switch will be changed to a two position switch.
  • The two hand grip to open the patient cassette lid has been replaced with a one hand . grip. The window on the top of the lid will be enlarged for visibility of the inspiratory and expiratory valves.

None of the hardware/accessories changes above implemented in the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System version 4.2 change the technology or performance of the FLOW-i Anesthesia System.

Conclusion for Substantial Equivalence:

Maquet believes that these modifications do not affect the intended use of the device, the indications for use nor raise any new type of questions of safety and effectiveness. Maquet has conducted the risk analysis and performed the necessary verification and validation activities to demonstrate that the design outputs of the modified device meet the design input requirements. The proposed changes do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the FLOW-i Anesthesia System. Maquet has concluded that the modified FLOW-i Anesthesia System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, FLOW-i Anesthesia System (K133958).
