Intended Use

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System is intended to be used for the scavenging of waste anesthesia machines during the provision of general anesthesia to adults and children.

Device Description

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 (DGSS-2) is a waste anesthetic scavenging interface placed between the individual anesthetic workstation and the waste gas evacuation vacuum system in a surgical care facility. Through a sensor and solenoid combination, it allows waste gas exhaust flow to the waste gas vacuum line only in the presence of waste anesthetic gas, and interrupts all exhaust flow when no waste gas is present. The system effectively prevents both positive and negative pressure on the patient breathing circuit, and it is usable over a wide range of anesthetic gas flows. It is designed for use in conjunction with low-flow (<50 liters/min) waste gas disposal (WAGD) systems.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not describe a study involving an AI/software device that meets specific acceptance criteria related to accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity in a medical imaging context. Instead, it details a 510(k) submission for a medical device called the "Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 (DGSS-2)", which is used to scavenge waste anesthetic gases.

This device is not an AI/software product, nor does the document describe any performance study involving human readers, ground truth establishment by experts, or the use of training and test sets as would be typical for an AI/ML medical device. The "Non-Clinical Performance Data" section on page 9 refers to engineering and quality assurance measures and performance testing against standards, not clinical performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy or reader improvement.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance as outlined in your prompt, because the provided document relates to a physical medical device and its engineering validation, not an AI/software product with the types of performance metrics you specified.

Device Description

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 (DGSS-2) is a waste anesthetic scavenging interface placed between the individual anesthetic workstation and the waste gas evacuation vacuum system in a surgical care facility. Through a sensor and solenoid combination, it allows waste gas exhaust flow to the waste gas vacuum line only in the presence of waste anesthetic gas, and interrupts all exhaust flow when no waste gas is present. The system effectively prevents both positive and negative pressure on the patient breathing circuit, and it is usable over a wide range of anesthetic gas flows. It is designed for use in conjunction with low-flow (<50 liters/min) waste gas disposal (WAGD) systems.

Intended Use

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 (DGSS-2) is intended to be used for the scavenging of waste anesthetic gases from anesthesia machines during the provision of general anesthesia to adults and children.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 (DGSS-2) shares the same or similar indications for use, device operation, overall technical and functional capabilities, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Dynamic Gas Scavenging System (DGSS). The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 is similar in design and function to the predicate device for the modes of operation and use.

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 was created as an update to the predicate device, Dynamic Gas Scavenging System. The result is both an aesthetically more pleasing, as well as more efficient, scavenger interface.

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 differs from the predicate device, Dynamic Gas Scavenging System, in three ways:

    1. Electronic sensing of pressure and control of vacuum solenoid.
    1. Smaller, simpler design.
    1. Reduced power consumption and heat production.

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 has no different functionality or effect on the anesthesia workstation than any other anesthetic gas-scavenging accessory attached to any currently-marketed anesthetic workstation.

Differences in Technology:

Mode of Operation:

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 is identical to the predicate in its functional operation of sensing the accumulation of waste gas via a sensitive pressure transducer and translating this signal into a command to provide vacuum flow for a set period of time. Because the vacuum control solenoid is normally open, the single failure mode for both the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 and the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System is full-open flow. This full flow mode is identical to the current standard Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) mode of operation, providing a "reversion to safety" failure mode in case of power loss.

Engineering:

Like the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System, the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 uses an electrically-actuated solenoid to control gas flow. Because the solenoid is normally open and spends 90% of its time closed, it is energized more often than not and thus operates at above-ambient temperature. Unlike the predicate, though, the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 also has circuitry minimizing the "on" voltage to the solenoid, reducing heat accumulation and potential for any hazard. This feature actuates the solenoid with full 12 VDC and within 100 ms, drops the voltage holding the solenoid closed to 6 VDC (adequate to maintain displacement) to minimize electrical use and waste heat.

Materials:

There is no change in the housing and fittings of the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 from the predicate.

Control Circuitry:

Pressure sensing and flow control in the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 is digital rather than analog, as was the predicate device. The pressure sensor has increased sensitivity and predicted longevity, while the solid-state construction reduces electrical load, weight and bulk. This allows the complete system to be mounted directly onto the anesthesia machine without external hoses or connections. The circuit board is lead-free and manufactured from Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant components. It is also isolated from the gas pathway as an additional control against degradation from moisture or oxygen.

Lifespan/Shelf Life:

Shelf life for the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 is not applicable, since there is a very low likelihood of time-dependent product degradation.

The predicate, Dynamic Gas Scavenging System, after 9 years of service in some cases, has no established lifespan. The nitrile reservoir bag used in the predicate device was found to be subject to some environmental degradation over 6 - 12 months and the labelling now indicates that it was to be examined every 6 months and replaced as needed.

The sensors and electrical components had no determined life expectancy and, in our current experience of 2 million patient hours, have yet to fail. The only moving part, the solenoid, is rated at 1,000,000 cycles; but, we have yet to see a failure.

The Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 is estimated to have a lifespan of 10 years, calculated primarily to anticipate solenoid failure (> 1,000,000 cycles), but no definitive determination has been made. The reservoir bag is now composed of silicone rubber and resists environmental degradation. It should not be a factor although semi-annual inspection is recommended.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The following table compares the Dynamic Gas Scavenging System 2 to the predicate device with respect to intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation, providing more detailed information regarding the bases for the determination of substantial equivalence.
