2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

The document describes non-clinical performance testing that was conducted.

  • Sample size: Not explicitly stated for each individual test. The statement "We have performed the following performance data and testing for the new models" implies that a sufficient number of devices were tested to evaluate each listed metric.
  • Data provenance: Bench testing results performed by Maxtec, LLC. The document does not specify a country of origin for the data beyond that. It is retrospective in the sense that the testing has already been completed and is being reported as part of the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

This information is not provided as the device is a colorimetric CO2 detector. The "ground truth" for the performance tests (e.g., CO2 concentration, flow rate, internal volume) would be measured by laboratory equipment and calibrated standards, not by human experts interpreting clinical cases.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This information is not applicable as the described studies are non-clinical performance bench tests, not studies involving human interpretation or clinical adjudication.

5. 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:

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical, colorimetric CO2 indicator, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical, colorimetric CO2 indicator, not an algorithm. The reported performance is based on the device's physical and chemical properties.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The ground truth for the non-clinical performance tests (e.g., color change accuracy, flow resistance, internal volume) was established using calibrated laboratory equipment and controlled gas mixtures to represent specific CO2 concentrations and flow rates. This is an objective measurement rather than expert consensus or pathology.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This information is not applicable. The device is a colorimetric indicator and does not involve machine learning or a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

Device Description

The proposed MaxCap Neo and MaxCap Ped are comprised of several components:

  • . Housing with standard 15 mm / 22 mm fittings to connect to the ventilator assist device and a face mask or endotracheal tube
  • . Colorimetric litmus media which has been treated with chemical to detect the presence of CO2 by a change in pH

Indications for Use

The Maxtec MaxCap Neo and MaxCap Ped are indicated to provide a semi-quantitative visualization of the CO2 in the patient airway. It is an adjunct in patient assessment to be used in conjunction with other methods to determine clinical signs and symptoms by or on the order of a physician.

Patient Population: MaxCap Neo is intended for use with neonates and infants 250g to 6kg. MaxCap Ped is intended for use with pediatric patients 1kg to 15kg

Environment of Use: Hospital, sub-acute, pre-hospital, transport.

{4}------------------------------------------------

Predicate Device Comparison:

The proposed Maxtec MaxCap Neo and MaxCap Ped CO2 detectors are similar except for their intended patient population. In order to make a substantial equivalence comparison, we have to use 2 predicates which match the proposed patient population.

These predicates are:

  • Mercury Medical Mini-Stat CO2 K031411 for pediatrics .
  • Mercury Medical Neo-Stat CO2 K083056 for neonates. ●

In addition, since the technological characteristics, construction, materials and CO2 detection performance is equivalent to the Maxtec FloCap (K133540) we have included it as a reference device.

The Maxtec MaxCap Neo and MaxCap Ped CO2 detectors are viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based upon the following:

Indications -

  • Indicated to provide semi-quantitative visualization of the CO2 in the patient airway and . as an adjunct in patient assessment for use in hospital, sub-acute and pre-hospital, and transport for patients between 250g and 6kg (MaxCap Neo) or 1kg and 15kg (MaxCap Ped) and up to 6 hours of use are similar to the predicates.
    Discussion - The indications for use are similar for the proposed and predicate devices, Mercury Medical - Mini Stat CO2 - K031411 and Mercury Medical - Neo-Stat CO2 -K083056.

Contraindications -

  • The contraindications are similar to the predicate. .
    Discussion - We added hypercarbia as part of the contraindications, but this does not alter the contraindications and they can be found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate -Mercury Medical - Mini Stat CO2 - K031411 and Mercury Medical - Neo-Stat CO2 -K083056, and reference Maxtec - FLOCAP - K133540.

Technology -

  • The technology of a colorimetric, pH sensitive, media to detect the presence and the ● amount of CO2 is identical to the reference K133540 and similar to the predicates. Discussion - There are no differences in technology between the proposed device and the predicates - Mercury Medical - Mini Stat CO2 - K031411 and Mercury Medical - Neo-Stat CO2 - K083056, and reference Maxtec - FLOCAP - K133540.

Environment of Use -

  • Hospital, sub-acute, Pre-hospital, and transport environments of use are similar to the ● predicate and reference devices.
    Discussion - The environments of use are similar between the proposed device and the predicates - Mercury Medical - Mini Stat CO2 - K031411 and Mercury Medical - Neo-Stat

{5}------------------------------------------------

510(k) SummaryPage 3 of 823-May-19
------------------------------------------------

CO2 - K083056, and reference Maxtec - FLOCAP - K133540. While the predicate Mercury Medical - Mini Stat CO2 - K031411 only specifies hospital and transport, sub-acute is a subset of hospitals and pre-hospital is a subset of transport (EMS). The proposed language is only to clarify the use environments.

Non-clinical Performance

We have performed the following performance data and testing for the new models:

  • Color change accuracy ●
  • . Color change response time
  • Drop test ●
  • Duration of Use
  • Flow Resistance / Back Pressure ●
  • Internal Volume (Dead space)
  • Device weight
  • Shelf-life (aging) ●

Tests applicable to the MaxCap Ped and MaxCapNeo that were performed on the reference Maxtec FloCap K133540 include:

  • . Packaging integrity per ISTA 2A
    • The packaging for the proposed devices is identical o
  • Operational environment
    • o The operating environment for the proposed devices is identical
  • ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility
    • o The materials for the proposed devices are identical, except they do not include the anti-fog coating

Therefore, the reference FloCap (K133540) can be used to represent the proposed models.

Biocompatibility of Patient Contacting Materials -

  • The materials utilized in the MaxCap Neo and MaxCap Ped are similar to the reference Maxtec FloCap K133540 except the removal of the anti-fog coating.
    Discussion - The devices have identical patient contact and the MaxCap has less duration of use, The materials were evaluated in K133540 tested in the final, finished form and found to meet ISO 10993-1 testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and Intracutaneous reactivity. In addition, we have performed gas emission VOC and PM2,5 testing. We note that the subject devices do not include the anti-fog material. The change in population does not raise different question of safety and effectiveness as less: maximum 6 hours vs. 24 hours.

Performance Testing

  • Full performance testing was completed on the Maxtec - FLOCAP - K133540, including testing such as shelf-life, color change response time, leakage, anti-fog, packaging integrity operational environment, usability, duration of use, burst pressure, and biocompatibility were previously performed and cleared in K133540. Much of the testing

{6}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary

is directly applicable to the MaxCap Ped and Neo, since only the form factor has changed.

Certain tests were performed on the reference FloCap (K133540) which were not repeated as the materials, assembly methods and packaging are identical. These tests included:

  • . Operational environment
    • o Only the litmus element is affected by the operational environment, and it is identical in materials and chemistry to the FloCap
  • . Packaging integrity
    • o The packaging is equivalent to FloCap so new testing is not required

Discussion - Through the bench testing as well as the comparative specifications we found the MaxCap Ped and Neo devices to be similar to the predicates.

510(k) Summary Page 8 of 8 23-May-19

Differences

The differences in the proposed device and the predicates relate to:

  • Small differences in internal volume ●
  • Lower resistance to flow ●
  • . Shorter shelf-life
    • o Shelf-life is not a clinical concern
  • . Shorter duration of use
    • o These devices are used in emergency situations and typically the duration of use is < 1 hour, so having a 6 hour duration of use is acceptable for the intended use

These differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicates.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

Testing and comparison to the predicates have demonstrated that the proposed devices can be found substantially equivalent and any differences do not raise different issues of safety and effectiveness.
