Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Heart Rate Resolution±1 bpm
Heart Rate Range30 - 220 bpm (vs. Predicate: 30 - 240 bpm)
Heart Rate AccuracyMeets IEC 60601-2-27 and IEC 60601-2-47
Operational Relative Humidity Range15% to 95% non-condensing
Wear DurationMaximum 48 hours
Shelf Life3 months
BiocompatibilityComplies with ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation)
Electrical Safety & EMCComplies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-27, and IEC 60601-1-2
Software Verification & ValidationComplies with FDA guidance for "moderate" level of concern software
Adhesive PerformanceComplies with ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000/(R) 2010

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

  • Wear Duration Study: 28 normal healthy volunteers.
  • Data Provenance: The text does not explicitly state the country of origin. The study appears to be prospective due to its nature of testing volunteers for wear duration.
  • Other Performance Testing: The text does not specify sample sizes for biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC, or general performance bench testing. These typically involve laboratory tests on devices rather than human subjects.

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

  • Wear Duration Study: The text does not specify the number or qualifications of experts for establishing ground truth regarding adhesive performance or wear duration. The assessment for adhesive performance was "calculated per the ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000/(R) 2010 Disposable ECG Electrodes," suggesting adherence to a recognized standard rather than expert consensus on individual cases.
  • Heart Rate Accuracy: For heart rate accuracy, the text refers to compliance with IEC standards (IEC 60601-2-27, IEC 60601-2-47), which imply a standardized testing methodology for accuracy rather than expert adjudication of ground truth for each measurement.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • The text does not mention an explicit adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) for any of the studies. This suggests that the performance metrics were determined through standardized testing protocols (e.g., against reference measurements for heart rate) or direct measurement against a defined standard (e.g., ANSI/AAMI EC12 for adhesive performance).

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

  • No, a "multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study" comparing human readers with and without AI assistance was not done. The device is a biosensor that measures heart rate, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation tool that would typically involve human readers.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance):

  • Yes, the performance data presented primarily reflects the standalone performance of the device.
    • The "Performance Testing bench testing" using voluntary standards like IEC 60601-2-27 and IEC 60601-2-47 directly assesses the algorithm's ability to accurately measure heart rate in a controlled setting.
    • The "Wear Duration Study" also assesses the physical performance of the biosensor itself.
    • The "Software Verification and Validation Testing" is also a standalone assessment of the software's functionality.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Heart Rate Accuracy: The ground truth for heart rate accuracy would likely be established by a highly accurate reference standard heart rate monitor or ECG system as specified by the IEC 60601-2-27 and IEC 60601-2-47 standards.
  • Adhesive Performance: The ground truth for adhesive performance was established through calculation "per the ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000/(R) 2010 Disposable ECG Electrodes," which is a recognized standard for evaluating such performance.
  • Biocompatibility: Ground truth is established by the outcomes of standardized biological tests (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) against defined acceptable limits.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • The document does not provide any information regarding a training set sample size. This suggests that the device's algorithms for heart rate detection might be based on established physiological principles and signal processing techniques rather than a machine learning model that requires explicit training on a large dataset mentioned in this summary.

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

  • As no training set is mentioned, this information is not provided. If the device uses algorithms that were developed and validated internally, the "ground truth" for their development would involve a similar process of comparing algorithm outputs against known, accurate physiological signals under controlled conditions, but the document does not elaborate on this developmental phase.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process"(2016), and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization .
  • Irritation ●

The Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution is considered skin contacting for a duration of more than 24 hours.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution. The system complies with the applicable requirements within IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-2-27 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Performance Testing

Performance testing bench testing was performed using voluntary standards IEC 60601-2-27, IEC 60601-2-47, EC57, and EC12. Testing to applicable requirements were conducted and the system was found to be compliant.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator.

Wear Duration Study

Testing of the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution included a feasibility wear study of 28 normal healthy volunteers. Data collected from this study was used to determine the adhesive performance (duration of use) as calculated per the ANSVAAMI EC12:2000/@2010 Disposable ECG Electrodes. The study established a 48 hour maximum duration of use for the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

The results of the verification and validation testing demonstrate that the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution is safe and effective and should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The non-clinical and clinical testing performed demonstrate that the Philips wearable biosensor-G5 Solution is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
