Intended Use

The Multi-Link™ X2 ECG Adapter and Lead Wire System are used in telemetry to transmit ECG and/or SpO2-signals from the electrodes and sensors to the transmitters on ambulatory patients within a defined coverage area for monitoring purposes. The Multi-Link Adapters are reusable, nonsterile and can be reprocessed. The Multi-Link X2 ECG Adapter and Lead Wire System are used with any patient population requiring ambulatory monitoring, and are compatible with the Philips MX40 electrocardiograph monitor.

Device Description

The Multi-Link™ X2 ECG AND SpO2 ADAPTERS is a reusable telemetry Adapter that connects the Philips IntelliVue MX40 (cleared under telemetry transmitter K172226), on one end to Vyaire-owned lead wires (cleared under K980582 and K101660) and market available SpO2 sensors (cleared under K172226 and K111888) on the other end. The Adapter functions to transmit signals from patient ECG electrodes and SpO2 sensors to ambulatory monitoring equipment, providing ambulatory patients with continuous ECG (electrocardiogram) and SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) monitoring.

This device is common to both industry and medical establishments. The Multi-Link X2 ECG and SpO2 Adapter is not a stand-alone device but is used with the host monitoring device and functions as conductors on the system to carry the electrical signals.

AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) summary, which typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a standalone study of the device's performance against specific acceptance criteria for aspects like diagnostic accuracy.

Based on the provided document, here's an analysis of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document lists various performance characteristics and standards to which the device was tested, with all tests reported as "Pass."

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

The document does not specify the sample size (number of units or test cycles) used for each test. The tests are general performance and safety tests for a medical device adapter, not clinical studies involving patient data. Therefore, concepts like data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not applicable in this context.

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

This information is not applicable. The device is a cable/adapter for transmitting ECG and SpO2 signals. The "ground truth" for the test set is established by recognized engineering and medical standards (e.g., AAMI, IEC, ISO) for electrical safety, performance durability, and compatibility. It does not involve expert interpretation of medical images or data that would require a panel of clinical experts for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As noted above, the tests are technical compliance tests against engineering standards, not diagnostic assessments requiring human adjudication.

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

No. This type of study assesses the impact of AI on diagnostic accuracy or reader performance in clinical scenarios, often involving interpretation of medical images. The Multi-Link X2 ECG and SpO2 Adapter is a signal transmission device, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so an MRMC study is not relevant or included in this submission.

6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study

Not applicable. The device is a hardware component (adapter/cable), not an algorithm or AI system. Its function is to transmit signals, which is assessed through technical performance tests.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance tests in this submission is the established technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the referenced international and national standards (AAMI, ANSI, IEC, ISO). Compliance with these standards indicates the device meets the accepted safety and performance criteria for its intended function.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is a hardware accessory and does not involve AI or machine learning, therefore, there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.
