Intended Use

Operio is a portable device for use in a surgical operating environment that produces a directed, non-turbulent flow of air to the surgical site during ophthalmic, orthopedic and neuro surgery and to the sterile instruments used during surgery. The air flow from the device is HEPA-filtered to reduce the presence of particulate matter to reduce the microorganisms to a level of < 5 CFU per m3 at the surgical site and instruments.

The air flow is intended to be directed parallel to the surgical site and/or instruments within: 20" (50 cm) in width, 47" (120 cm) in length and 15" (40 cm) in height. Device effectiveness may not be reliably detectable at a distance of 47 inches (120 cm) from the air flow outlet, and effectiveness depreciates beyond this specified area.

Device Description

The air zone unit Operio is used in a surgical operating room for cleaning the air in a given area by re-circulating the ambient air and cleaning it from airborne particles. The air is filtered through a HEPA filter and the air is generated over the areas where the demands of clean air are especially high. The air zone unit Operio is equipped with a control panel for adjustments and for positioning of the unit.

The air zone unit Operio is a mobile unit that with the help of castors easily can be moved around the patient to an optimal position or, when needed, transported inside the hospital between wards. It is also equipped with an optional instrument tray.

By using a unique sterile shield as a protective barrier the air zone unit can be placed close to the OR table and deliver HEPA filtered air to the surgical site and instruments to reduce the presence of airborne particulate and microorganisms.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Operio device, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

CriteriaAcceptance Criteria (from Indications for Use)Reported Device Performance (Operational, from Summary of Testing)
Microorganism ReductionReduce microorganisms to a level of < 5 CFU per m³ at the surgical site and instruments.Ophthalmic Surgery (Predicate Device K153498): Mean CFU value is 0.4 CFU/m².Orthopedic Surgery (Subject Device): Mean CFU value is 0.52 CFU/m³.Neurosurgery (Subject Device): Mean CFU value is 2 CFU/m³.All reported CFU levels are < 5 CFU, meeting the criteria.
Particulate Matter Reduction (HEPA Filter)HEPA-filtered to reduce the presence of particulate matter. (Implicitly, the stated efficiency below covers this.)HEPA filtration efficiency > 99.995% against 0.3 µm particles.
Particulate Density at Surgical IncisionNot explicitly stated as a numerical acceptance criterion, but the predicate device has a measured average particulate density of 1.1 particulate of 0.5 µm/f³. The subject device has the same reported value.1.1 particulate of 0.5 µm/f³ (This matches the predicate device and implies equivalence).
Directed Airflow CoverageAir flow intended to be directed parallel to the surgical site and/or instruments within: 20" (50 cm) in width, 47" (120 cm) in length and 15" (40 cm) in height. Device effectiveness may not be reliably detectable at a distance of 47 inches (120 cm) from the air flow outlet, and effectiveness depreciates beyond this specified area.Smoke test and turbulence tests were conducted to demonstrate airflow patterns, but specific numerical data on coverage within the specified dimensions is not explicitly detailed in the provided text. However, the CFU reduction results within the clinical tests imply effective coverage.

Note: The primary acceptance criterion highlighted in the document for the expanded indications (Orthopedic and Neurosurgery) is the microorganism reduction to < 5 CFU/m³.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • Clinical tests (CFU measurements): 302 CFU measurements.
    • Patients: 82 patients.
  • Data Provenance: The clinical tests were conducted in "Swedish Hospitals." The text does not specify if the data was retrospective or prospective, but clinical measurements for the purpose of regulatory submission are typically prospective.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications for the clinical studies. Instead, the ground truth for microorganism levels (CFU) and particulate levels appears to be established through direct laboratory and clinical measurements conducted by the manufacturer.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document does not mention an adjudication method for the test set. The reported CFU values appear to be direct measurements rather than interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done using human readers with and without AI assistance. The device is an air-handling unit, not an imaging or diagnostic AI device that would typically involve human reader performance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was done in a functional sense, as the device's performance was evaluated based on its ability to reduce particulate matter and microorganisms independently. The "Summary of testing" details non-clinical tests (particulate counting, CFU counting, air velocity, air leakage, smoke, turbulence tests) and clinical tests where the device's effect on CFU levels was measured. The device functions as an algorithm/machine for air purification.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Microorganism levels: Direct microbiological measurements (Colony Forming Units - CFU) at the surgical site and over instruments.
  • Particulate matter levels: Direct particulate counting measurements.
  • Airflow characteristics: Measured through air velocity tests, smoke tests, and turbulence tests.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not mention a training set in the context of an AI/machine learning model. The Operio device is an air-handling apparatus, not a software algorithm that undergoes a "training" phase. Its design and performance are based on engineering principles and physical testing.

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

  • As there is no mention of a "training set" for an AI/ML model, this question is not applicable to the Operio device. The device's performance is driven by its physical design, HEPA filtration, and airflow mechanics, validated through physical and microbiological measurements.

Summary of testing

The performance characteristics of the air zone unit Operio have been obtained through both a series of tests, clinical and non-clinical, and performance specifications. Particulate test and CFU test results clearly meet the criteria for achieving reduction of airborne contamination at the intended surgical site and over instruments. The efficiency of HEPA filtration has been tested and is found to have an efficiency > 99.995% efficiency against 0.3 um particles.

In testing, the subject device has demonstrated a level of particulates by 1.1 particles of 0.5 um/f³.

The following non-clinical tests has been conducted: Simulated use test. Particulate counting test, Colony Forming Units counting test, Air velocity test, Air leakage test, Smoke test and Turbulence tests to demonstrate air flow patterns.

The following standards have been used for performance testing:

  • IEC/EN 60601-1:2006 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements ● for basic safety and essential performance
  • . IEC/EN 60601-1-2:2007 Medical electrical equipment - Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests
  • . IEC 61010-1:2010 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements

Summary of clinical testing

Clinical tests have been carried out for surgical procedures such as ophthalmology, orthopedics and neurosurgery. Measurements where made near the surgical site and over the instruments where the results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CFU levels.

The clinical tests include 302 CFU measurements from 82 patients in Swedish Hospitals. For the predicate device Operio for ophthalmic surgery the mean CFU value is 0.4 CFU/m² and the subject device Operio with additional claims show for orthopaedic surgery a mean CFU value of 0.52 CFU/m3 and for neurosurgery a mean CFU value of 2 CFU/m².

Since CFU level doesn't exceed the predicate device of < 5 CFU it is concluded that substantial equivalence is achieved as clinical validation.

Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device (K153498).
