Intended Use

The Rhythm View Workstation is a computerized system that assists in the diagnosis of complex cardiac arrhythmias. The Rhythm View Workstation is used to analyze electrogram and electrocardiogram signals and display them in a visual format.

Device Description

RhythmView uses electrical signals collected from the electrodes of one or more multi-polar electrophysiology (EP) catheters. It provides a dynamic, simplified representation of wave propagation. The RhythmView computes and displays electrical rotors or focal beat sources that may sustain human heart rhythm disorders including focal AT, AFL, other SVT, AF, VT and VF in a given patient. The product takes as input electrical signals recorded during the heart rhythm disorder under consideration, typically from multiple specified locations within the heart during an electrophysiological study. The RhythmView then uses proprietary patented algorithms and methods to compute spatial organization during the heart rhythm disorder. These computed elements are displayed graphically in interactive form for review to aid diagnosis by the physician during an electrophysiology study.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the RhythmView Workstation 6.1, derived from the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document primarily focuses on verifying the software updates for the RhythmView Workstation 6.1 and demonstrating that it performs at least as well as the prior versions, particularly concerning Rotational Activity Profile (RAP) detection. While specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds) are not explicitly stated in the provided text, the performance is described in terms of validation and verification against its intended functionality.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing objectives)Reported Device Performance
Stability Map and default Stability Filter setting validation (using clinical data sets)The Stability Map and default Stability Filter setting were validated using clinical data sets.
Summation Maps correct compilation of RAP profiles from individual segmentsVerification confirmed that the Summation Maps generated are correct compilations of the RAP profiles from individual segments.
RAP detection of known rotational targets (at least as well as prior versions)Validation confirmed that RAP detects known rotational targets at least as well as prior versions of RAP.
RAP functionality validation (through Physician reads)The RAP functionality in RhythmView was validated through Physician reads.
New UI features evaluation (through Simulated User testing)Simulated User testing was conducted to evaluate new features of the UI.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions "clinical data sets" for validating the Stability Map and default Stability Filter setting, but does not specify the exact number of cases or patients in these data sets.
  • Data Provenance: The data used for validation are described as "clinical data sets." The document does not specify the country of origin of this data or if it was retrospective or prospective. It uses "clinical data sets," implying real patient data.

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

  • Number of Experts: The document states that "Physician reads" were used to validate RAP functionality. It does not specify the number of physicians involved.
  • Qualifications of Experts: The qualifications of the "Physicians" are not explicitly stated (e.g., years of experience, subspecialty).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe a specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It only mentions "Physician reads" for validation.

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

The document does not indicate that a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was performed to assess the improvement of human readers with AI vs. without AI assistance. The testing described focuses on validating the device's functionality and its comparison to prior versions.

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

The document describes testing that evaluates the algorithm's performance (e.g., RAP detection, Stability Map validation) using "clinical data sets." While these tests indirectly assess the algorithm's capabilities, the validation of RAP functionality involved "Physician reads," suggesting a human-in-the-loop component for some aspects. Therefore, it's not strictly a standalone performance study without any human involvement for interpretation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the test sets (or validation sets) appears to be based on:

  • Known rotational targets: For validating RAP detection, the system was validated against "known rotational targets," implying a pre-established understanding of these targets. This could be based on prior clinical assessment, expert consensus, or established electrophysiology principles.
  • Physician reads: For RAP functionality validation, physician interpretations served as part of the ground truth or a reference point.
  • Clinical data sets: The term "clinical data sets" implies data derived from patient studies, where the outcomes or characteristics might be considered true based on clinical assessment, although explicit details are lacking.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size used for the training set.

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

The document does not provide any information on how the ground truth for the training set was established. In fact, training data details are entirely absent from the provided text, which focuses on validation and verification of software updates.
