Intended Use

The Q-NRG & Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitors are indicated for the measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) for spontaneously breathing and (Q-NRG+ only) ventilated patients, within the following populations:

  • Spontaneously breathing subjects >15 kg (33 lb) when using a canopy;

  • Spontaneously breathing subjects age >6 and > 10 kg (22 lb) when using a face mask;

  • Ventilated subjects age >10 and >10 kg (22 1b).

The Q-NRG & Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitors are intended to be used in professional healthcare facilities only (Iimited to ICUs for ventilated patients).

Device Description

The Q-NRG and Q-NRG+ devices are Portable Metabolic Monitors, designed for the measurement of resting energy expenditure (REE) in both spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated patients.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Cosmed Q-NRG & Q-NRG+ Portable Metabolic Monitors, a medical device for measuring Resting Energy Expenditure (REE). The document highlights the device's technical specifications and comparisons to a predicate device (Quark RMR Metabolic Cart) to establish substantial equivalence.

However, the provided text does not contain the specific information required to answer your questions regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/human comparative effectiveness study. The document focuses on regulatory clearance and device performance and safety against general medical device standards.

Here's a breakdown of why the information you're looking for is not present:

  • No mention of AI/machine learning: The device is described as a "Portable Metabolic Monitor," suggesting direct measurement or calculation based on sensor data, not an AI or machine learning algorithm requiring human-in-the-loop performance studies.
  • No stated acceptance criteria for an AI algorithm: The "Accuracy Validation" section mentions internal validation protocols for mask, canopy, and ventilator measurement accuracy, with specific percentages for Ventilation, VO2, and VCO2 (e.g., Ventilation: <2% or 100 ml/min). These are likely the device's performance specifications, but not "acceptance criteria" in the context of an AI's performance against a specific clinical task.
  • No details on a "test set" for an AI model: The accuracy validation refers to internal protocols, but not a defined test set for evaluating an AI model.
  • No information on experts for ground truth, adjudication, or MRMC studies: These elements are specific to AI performance validation, which is not described for this device.
  • No mention of training set size or ground truth for training set: Again, these are AI-specific details that are not in the document.

Based on the provided text, I can only provide the device's stated performance specifications, not acceptance criteria for an AI model or details of an AI performance study.

Here's the closest information I can extract regarding performance:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

MetricQ-NRG & Q-NRG+ Performance
Measurement Accuracy
Ventilation<2% or 100 ml/min
VO2±3% or 5 ml/min
VCO2±3% or 5 ml/min

(Note: These are performance specifications, not explicitly "acceptance criteria" in the AI validation sense. The document states accuracy validation was done "according to internal validation protocol," implying these are the targets the device met.)

The following information cannot be found in the provided text:

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or the effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance.
  • If a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for an AI model.
  • The sample size for the training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

Dear Roger Gray:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

The subject device and the predicate device have many identical or similar properties or features. The differences that exist and are identified in the above table include:

  • Device description ●
  • . Indications for use
  • 02 sensor technology
  • . Sampling technology
  • User interface
  • . Dimensions and weight
  • . Power supply

None of the identified differences introduce new aspects of safety or effectiveness.

Conclusion

The subject and predicate devices have very similar intended uses and fundamental technological characteristics. Any differences in technological characteristics between subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
