The Cadwell Apollo System is indicated for prescription use to acquire, record, transmit, and display physiological and environmental data for electroencephalographic (EEG) and polysomnographic (PSG) ambulatory and/or clinical studies of patients of all ages.
The Cadwell Apollo System (Apollo) is used to acquire, record, transmit, and display physiological and environmental data for ambulatory electroencephalograph (EEG) and polysomnography (PSG) and/or clinical studies of patients of all ages.
The Apollo system consists of a Recorder, a 64-channel and/or 32-channel Amplifier, a patient event button, a microphone, and various connecting cables. Optional accessories include the Arc photic stimulator, a video recording camera, and a cart for the equipment. Previously FDA cleared accessories used with the Apollo system consist of various electrodes, leads, and cables.
The Apollo system utilizes Cadwell Arc acquisition software (previously cleared in K133355) with support for Apollo hardware using single or combinations of amplifiers, and a photic stimulator.
Additional channels can be added with multiple amplifiers. Apollo is intended for use in both home healthcare and professional healthcare environments.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Cadwell Apollo System, an electroencephalograph (EEG) and polysomnograph (PSG) device. It describes the device's indications for use, technological characteristics compared to a predicate device, and nonclinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Study Details
Based on the provided text for K180269, this submission is for a medical device (Cadwell Apollo System) to acquire, record, transmit, and display physiological and environmental data for EEG and PSG studies. The provided document details nonclinical testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K133355 Cadwell Flex EEG/PSG), rather than a clinical study evaluating diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm.
Therefore, many of the requested details related to clinical studies, AI algorithms, human readers, and ground truth establishment are not applicable or not provided in this specific 510(k) summary.
Here's an assessment based on the available information:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document describes nonclinical testing (software verification/validation, electrical safety, EMC, and bench performance testing). These tests typically involve engineered test cases, simulations, and measurements on the device itself, rather than patient data test sets.
- Not applicable / Not provided in terms of patient data test sets. The tests are focused on hardware and software functionality and compliance with engineering standards.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Since this is nonclinical testing against engineering standards and predetermined specifications, the concept of "ground truth" derived from expert consensus on patient data (e.g., radiologist reads) does not apply.
- Expertise would be in engineering, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance for medical devices.
- Not applicable.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This relates to clinical interpretation of patient data, which is not the focus of the nonclinical tests described.
-
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, an MRMC study was not done. This 510(k) submission is for an EEG/PSG acquisition and display system, not a device with an AI-driven diagnostic component that assists human readers in interpreting clinical cases.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- No, a standalone AI algorithm performance study was not done. The Cadwell Apollo System, as described, is a hardware system with acquisition software, not a standalone diagnostic AI algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the nonclinical tests, the "ground truth" consists of the established engineering standards (IEC, ISO, FDA guidance) and the device's predetermined functional and performance specifications. The tests verify that the device's behavior matches these predefined requirements.
- Engineering standards and predetermined product specifications.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This question is only relevant for AI/ML-driven devices that require a training set of data. The Cadwell Apollo System is an acquisition and display system, and while its software was developed, the document does not describe it as an AI/ML device requiring a training set in the conventional sense for diagnostic performance.
- Not applicable.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no described AI/ML training set in the document.
