Intended Use

Indications for use are for pre-term, term newborns and small infants requiring a diagnostic MRI exam and need to be moved from their warm and controlled intensive care units to the MRI scanner. Indications for use are to maintain a warm and controlled environment during inter-departmental transport and during the MRI procedure.

The SREE MRI Transport Incubator provides a warm and controlled environment during inter-departmental transport and during the diagnostic exam on a scanner with either 1.5T or 3T magnet field strengths. The SREE MRI Transport Incubator accommodates pre- and term newborns and infants up to 1 month of age and 4.5Kg whole body weight or 55cm whole body length (21.7").

Device Description

The SREE MRI Transport Incubator system consists of a MRI incubator. MRI trolley and backup power supply.

The SREE MRI Transport Incubator is designed to accommodate infants up to 1 month of age. The patient is positioned head first onto the curved incubator patient table over a soft patient mattress is held in place with pads and straps. The SREE MRI Transport Incubator when transferred from the trolley to the MRI patient table allows diagnostic exams without removing the infant from its controlled incubator environment.

The MRI incubator is transported on a dedicated, MR-Conditional non-magnetic trolley with a custom top designed to accommodate the unique incubator base reproducibly. In addition to the incubator, the trolley is designed to accommodate non-magnetic (air, oxygen) tanks, storage bins, a transfer table and incubator electronics. In an extended position, the transfer table allows incubator movement between the trolley and MRI patient table gantry.

A backup power supply box used during transport is equipped with a dedicated uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and battery. This backup power supply box on wheels can be attached to or detached from the SREE MRI Transport Incubator system by sliding it between the trolley guide rails.

AI/ML Overview

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

The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the test set used in performance testing. It mentions "phantom and human testing" for MRI compatibility but does not provide details on the number of phantoms or human subjects.

The data provenance is from bench testing and, for MRI compatibility, involves "phantom and human testing." The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but the company is US-based (Cleveland, Ohio). The testing described is prospective in nature, as it was performed to demonstrate device compliance and performance for the premarket submission.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The testing described appears to be primarily technical and engineering-focused, relying on standardized test methods (ASTM, IEC, ISO) and internal SREE QA protocols, rather than expert-established ground truth in a clinical context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided or applicable as the testing described doesn't involve subjective assessments requiring expert adjudication. The compliance is determined against objective standards and technical protocols.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a transport incubator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance does not apply.

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

No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done in the context of an AI algorithm. The device is a physical medical device (an incubator) with integrated software for control, not an AI diagnostic algorithm. Software validation was performed according to FDA guidance, which focuses on the reliability and safety of the software controlling the device, not its diagnostic accuracy in a standalone AI capacity.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance testing is based on:

  • Standardized Test Methods: Adherence to established international and national standards (IEC, ISO, ASTM). These standards define objective criteria and measurement methods.
  • Engineering Specifications: Internal SREE QA protocols for incubator temperature stability and MRI QA, indicating comparison to predefined engineering targets.
  • Comparative Equivalence: The foundation of the 510(k) submission is demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices (LMT Nomag IC 1.5, 3.0). This implies that the device's performance is "ground-truthed" by its ability to perform comparably to devices already deemed safe and effective.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The SREE MRI Transport Incubator is a hardware device with controlling software, not an AI-driven system that requires a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The software validation refers to functional testing and adherence to software development lifecycle processes, not machine learning model training.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of this device.

Discussion of Differences

The indications for use statements are similar. The minor differences include the single incubator system for 1.5T and 3.0T magnetic field strengths and clarification of the intended patient population to be consistent with the labeling. These changes are supported by the performance testing provided and do not introduce any new or different risks.

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

The design used for providing incubator functions is similar to predicate devices. SREE MRI transport incubator provides a warm and controlled environment for infants dependent on warming therapy during interdepartmental transport and MRI procedure.

Incubator air temperature and humidity are continually monitored. Air temperature regulation is accomplished with continuous feedback from sensors whereas skin temperature is monitored continuously. Humidity regulation found in the predicate devices, is not present in the SREE MRI Transport Incubator. Supplying humidity regulation can lead to condensation of the incubator walls affecting the MRI diagnosis and possible contamination from algae growth in the humidifier supply chain affecting patient safety. Therefore, the benefit of providing low level humidity regulation during the 1 hour MRI exam is outweighed by the risks of obscuring MRI images and possibility of algae growth based contamination.

The incubator has a trolley that supports inter-departmental transport with backup power consisting of an UL/CE approved, medical grade uninterrupted power supply and batteries with flame rated enclosures. Incubator, trolley and backup power supply components and associated electronic circuitry are enclosed in housings made of aluminum or plastic. Polycarbonate, polyurethane plastic materials used are flame rated and have a high impact and tensile strength similar to, LMT's transport incubators (K033565, K062052).

The differences between the predicate devices and the SREE MRI Transport Incubator do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness.

Performance Testing

We have performed the following safety/essential performance bench testing as per to IEC 60601 and other applicable standards with respect to mechanical, software, biocompatibility, disinfection/cleaning validations and MRI testing.

Device Performance Validation

Additional bench validation testing was performed to demonstrate that the SREE MRI incubator system met the predetermined acceptance criteria not covered under the recognized IEC standards. Validation testing included the following:

{8}------------------------------------------------

  • Software validation according to the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices
  • Finite Element Analysis ●
  • Cleaning and Disinfection Validation

MRI Testing

MRI safety testing performed to rule out Bo displacement, Bo induced torque and RF induced heating per proven ASTM standards was successful. MRI compatibility was proven with phantom and human testing. Phantom and human testing accomplished with the MRI incubator showed no appreciable deviation of incubator behavior of MRI image quality. Phantom signal-noise-ratio and image uniformity with and without the incubator were within a few percent and deemed acceptable considering the benefits of continuous warming therapy throughout the MR exam. Compaibility with different field strengths (1.5T, 3.0T) and manufacturers (GE, Siemens etc) were verified on phantoms using established quality assurance protocols.

Incubator behavior within the MRI suite was verified to show no adverse effects in either direction. Incubator performance was unaffected during the MRI exam and the MRI image quality was preserved. Other MRI scanner functions were not influenced by the incubator presence.

Clinical Tests

Not Applicable

Conclusions

Testing of the SREE MRI Transport Incubator system did not raise new risks, questions or resulted in any new potential hazards. SREE MRI transport incubator system is therefore considered to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed transport incubators: LMT's Nomag IC 1.5T and 3.0T (K033565, K062052).
