Vigilant Master Med is part of a Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) for use with Adults, Pediatrics, and Neonates. It is intended to create, customize, and manage drug library data and device configurations to be uploaded to compatible Fresenius Kabi infusion devices which may reduce the risk of drug administration errors. It enhances safety by preventing infusion errors with the use of Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) in combination with the infusion devices.
Vigilant Master Med is a drug library software that is used by pharmacists to create and identify limits according to policy and procedure of the institution. The infusion devices will notify and clearly indicate to a clinician if the dose for the medication is beyond the limits entered by the pharmacist and provided by Vigilant Master Med in the drug library.
Vigilant Master Med is one component of Vigilant Software Suite (VSS) a multifunction device product. VSS Vigilant Master Med the subject of this submission, is also referred to as Drug Library Software. VSS Vigilant Master Med is drug library software that creates, customizes and manages drug lists, therapies, drug libraries, device configurations, profiles and data sets which are uploaded into compatible infusion pumps.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the "Vigilant Software Suite - Vigilant Master Med" and its comparison to a predicate device, "Vigilant Drug' Lib Agilia." However, the document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on non-clinical testing and technological comparison. It explicitly states that "Clinical evaluation is not required for this submission to support substantial equivalence." and "no further clinical investigation or testing is needed."
Therefore, I cannot provide details on the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria in a clinical context, as such data is not included in the provided text. The submission relies on verification and validation of product requirements, human factors engineering testing, interoperability testing, performance testing at maximum capacity, and cybersecurity testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, and thus substantial equivalence.

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify exact "sample sizes" in terms of number of cases or data points for the non-clinical tests (verification, human factors, interoperability, performance, cybersecurity testing). It refers to the sufficiency of these tests to conclude safety and effectiveness.
- Data Provenance: Not specified in terms of country of origin. The data is generated from non-clinical (laboratory/engineering) testing rather than patient data. The studies are prospective in the sense that they are specifically conducted for the regulatory submission to verify and validate the new device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated. The "ground truth" for this device (software for managing infusion pump drug libraries) would primarily be established by:
- Engineers/Developers: Defining correct software functionality and performance.
- Quality Assurance personnel: Verifying adherence to requirements.
- Human Factors Specialists: Assessing usability and safety in simulated clinical tasks.
- Pharmacists and Clinicians (as users): Participating in human factors evaluations to ensure the software's design supports their workflow and safety goals. The document states "Human Factors studies have been conducted on the subject device demonstrating passing results," implying clinical domain experts were involved in a user capacity.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated for specific roles. However, given the context of medical device regulation, these would be qualified professionals in their respective fields (e.g., software engineers, human factors engineers, clinical experts - likely pharmacists and nurses for an infusion pump system).
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Since no multi-reader or multi-expert assessment of clinical "cases" is described (as it's a software substantial equivalence submission based on non-clinical tests), there is no mention of an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. The "adjudication" is implicitly the outcome of the comprehensive verification and validation processes and the safety assurance case.
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:
- No MRMC study was done. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device where human reader improvement would be measured. The device is a software for drug library management for infusion pumps, not a medical image analysis or similar AI tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- The software's core function is to create and manage drug libraries, which is "algorithm only" in its processing of data and rules. However, its purpose is to be used with human-in-the-loop (pharmacists inputting data, clinicians interacting with the infusion pump).
- Standalone algorithmic verification: Yes, this is implied by "Verification testing of product requirements," "Performance testing at maximum capacity," and "Cybersecurity penetration testing." These tests assess the software's inherent functionality and robustness independent of user interaction, but within the context of its overall intended use.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- The primary "ground truth" used for this submission is:
- Pre-defined product requirements and specifications: The software must perform according to these.
- Safety standards and regulatory guidance: Adherence to these is the "truth" for demonstrating safety and effectiveness.
- Usability goals derived from human factors analysis: The software's design must support safe and effective use by intended users.
- Functionality of the predicate device: The new device's functions are compared to the legally marketed predicate.
- It is not based on expert consensus for clinical diagnosis, pathology, or outcomes data, as this is not a diagnostic device.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable/Not provided. This is a traditional software engineering development and a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence, not a machine learning/AI model that requires a "training set" for its development. The "learning" here is human engineering and design, not algorithmic learning from data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As stated above, there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense.

§ 880.5725 Infusion pump.
(a)
Identification. An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
