The WAVE Clinical Platform is a remote monitoring platform that displays physiologic data, waveforms, alarms, results and diagnostic information routed the WAVE Clinical Platform from supported devices and systems. The WAVE Clinical Platform is intended for use in hospital type environments. The WAVE Clinical Platform is intended to be used by healthcare professionals for the following purposes:

· To remotely consult regarding patients' statuses:

· To remotely review other standard or critical near real-time patient data, waveforms, and results in order to utilize this information to aid in clinical decisions.

Warning: The WAVE Clinical Platform is intended to supplement and not to replace any part of the hospital's device monitoring or electronic data management systems. Do not rely on the WAVE Clinical Platform product as the sole source of alarms.

Device Description

Excel Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform is a software platform that gathers and stores data from patient monitoring and other medical devices, hospital information systems, and clinical analytics data sources for near real-time and retrospective remote display for clinicians to use in clinical decision support. The WAVE Clinical Platform can also route and forward these data to third party systems.
The WAVE Clinical Platform can utilize the hospital's existing network and hardware for installation and display on any device that is web-enabled. The WAVE Clinical Platform does not control any of the medical devices or systems it is connected with.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Excel Medical Electronics WAVE Clinical Platform. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria with quantitative performance metrics.

Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing acceptance criteria and a study proving performance are not explicitly present in the given text. The document primarily outlines the device's functionality, intended use, and compares its technical characteristics to a predicate device to argue for substantial equivalence.

Based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted and what is not available:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

This information is not explicitly provided in the format of specific, measurable acceptance criteria and corresponding performance values for the WAVE Clinical Platform. The document states that "Safety, efficacy and substantial equivalence was shown through system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests and safety testing," and concludes that "The WAVE Clinical Platform test results on non-clinical testing demonstrate the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device - the Covidien Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform in terms of safety, features and performance." However, the exact criteria (e.g., latency thresholds, data accuracy percentages) and the numerical results are not detailed.

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

This information is not provided. The document mentions "system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests and safety testing" but does not specify the sample size of data, patients, or scenarios used in these tests, nor the origin (country, retrospective/prospective nature) of any data used.

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

This information is not provided. The concept of "ground truth" as typically used in AI/diagnostic device studies (e.g., expert consensus on medical images or diagnoses) is not discussed, as this 510(k) is for a data management and display platform, not a diagnostic AI.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not provided. Given that no specific "ground truth" or expert review process is detailed for performance evaluation, an adjudication method is also not mentioned.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size:

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted or described. The device is a "Clinical Platform" for routing, storing, and displaying data, not a diagnostic AI that would be evaluated for human reader improvement. The document explicitly states: "Clinical Performance: Not Applicable. Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence."

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:

The document describes "system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests and safety testing" (page 10). These non-clinical tests would represent a form of "standalone" evaluation of the system's technical functionality (e.g., data routing speed, display accuracy, alarm fidelity). However, specific metrics or a detailed account of these standalone performance evaluations are not provided. The focus is on demonstrating that its functions are similar to the predicate device rather than presenting quantitative performance data for these tests.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

For the purpose of this device (a data management and display platform), the "ground truth" for non-clinical performance testing would likely refer to the correctness of data transmission, storage, and display as compared to the original source data or expected outputs. For example, verifying that a heart rate value displayed on the platform matches the value from the connected monitor. However, the document does not explicitly state how this "ground truth" was established or verified in detail. It refers broadly to "system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests and safety testing."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not applicable/provided. The WAVE Clinical Platform is described as software for routing, storing, and displaying data, not an algorithm that learns from a training set (e.g., an AI/ML diagnostic algorithm).

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

This information is not applicable/provided. As above, the device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" with established ground truth.


Summary of available information regarding the "study" proving acceptance criteria (non-clinical performance):

  • Study Type: Non-clinical performance testing, including system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests, and safety testing.
  • Purpose: To demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device (Covidien Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform) in terms of safety, features, and performance.
  • Conclusion: "The WAVE Clinical Platform test results on non-clinical testing demonstrate the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device... in terms of safety, features and performance." "No new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised."
  • Lack of Detail: Specific acceptance criteria, quantitative performance results, sample sizes, methodology details for establishing ground truth, or expert involvement are not provided in this 510(k) summary document.

9. Substantial Equivalence Discussion on Comparison to Predicate Device:

Excel Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform and Covidien's Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform perform the same functions with no difference in how the devices are used. The WAVE Clinical Platform is a single medical device that performs the functions of (a) storing, (b) routing and (c) displaying data from patient monitors, EMR and CIS systems, and smart alarms. Covidien's two devices (Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform) perform these same functions. The WAVE Clinical Platform's data is displayed remotely to aid in clinical decisions and deliver patient care in a timely manner. The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform's data is displayed remotely to aid in clinical decisions and deliver patient care in a timely manner. Excel

{9}------------------------------------------------

Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform data are archived to and indefinitely stored on disk drives until deleted. Covidien's Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform Hour to days of data is buffered and then archived to tape for indefinite storage until deleted. The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform gathers ICU and ER patient data from Covidien physiological sensors. Excel Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform gathers data from in-hospital patients that have physiological sensors attached. These differences have no effect on how these devices are used. The patient's in-hospital location and the physiological sensors may be different, but Excel Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform and Covidien's Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform function and intended use are the same. Risk and Hazards are the determined to be the same for both devices.

10. Substantial Equivalence Discussion on Safety and Effectiveness:

There are three differences between Excel Medical's WAVE Clinical Platform and Covidien's Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform:

(1) The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform are essentially two products and the WAVE Clinical Platform is one product that perform the same functionality.

(2) The WAVE Clinical Platform gathers data from inhospital patients that have physiological sensors attached. The Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform gathers ICU and ER patient data from Covidien physiological sensors. This is based on a business decision to include other manufacturer's devices and systems and is no difference in functionality or intended use of the product.

(3) The WAVE Clinical Platform has the ability to store a larger volume of data and made available online. Whereas, the Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform requires long term storage of data to be archived offline.

These differences have no effect on safety and effectiveness or the intended use for the device.

11.Summary of Technology Characteristics

Technology characteristics of the WAVE Clinical Platform and the Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform are determined to be the same. Both devices are software devices with client server architecture and support web-

{10}------------------------------------------------

enabled displays of data. Both software devices acquire and distribute data across general purpose hospital networks, both wired and wireless. Both devices have server software that run on general purposes server computer hardware and use data storage technology mediums widely available in hospitals. Both devices allow users to access and display data from web-enabled devices over wired and wireless general purpose networks. All of these technologies are proven and any risks and their mitigations are widely understood in hospital environments. The platforms have identical indications for use and both display parameters and waveforms from connected medical devices to a remote, webenabled display.

12. Non-clinical Performance: Bench

Safety, efficacy and substantial equivalence was shown through system level tests, user interface verification, device compatibility verification, performance tests and safety testing. The WAVE Clinical Platform test results on non-clinical testing demonstrate the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device - the Covidien Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform in terms of safety, features and performance. No new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised.

13. Clinical Performance:

Not Applicable. Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence.

14. Conclusions from Non-clinical Performance Testing:

The WAVE Clinical Platform test results on non-clinical testing demonstrate the WAVE Clinical Platform is substantially equivalent to the predicate device - the Covidien Vital Sync™ Informatics Manager & Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform in terms of safety, features and performance.
