AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Capsule Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance testing. However, it explicitly states that clinical studies were not required to support substantial equivalence. Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria related to a study proving the device meets those criteria, sample sizes for test sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details.

The summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence by showing that the proposed device has the same intended use and similar technical characteristics as the predicate device (SmartLinx Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System, K200856), with minor differences that do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The performance testing mentioned refers to hardware and software verification and validation, as well as conformance with FDA recognized consensus standards (listed in Table 4).

Based on the provided text, it is not possible to answer the detailed questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them because such a study involving clinical performance with specific metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, or human reader improvement) was not part of this 510(k) submission.

Here's a breakdown of why each requested point cannot be answered from the provided text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present. The document focuses on showing equivalence to a predicate device and conformance to standards, not on demonstrating performance against specific clinical metrics.
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not present. The performance testing described is primarily engineering verification and validation and compliance with standards, not a clinical test set with patient data.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable/Not present. No clinical ground truth establishment is described.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable/Not present.
  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: Not done. This device is a patient monitoring system, not an AI diagnostic tool requiring MRMC studies.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a monitoring system intended for use by clinical physicians or appropriate medical staff.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable/Not present.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable/Not present. The document describes a medical device, not a machine learning model that would typically have a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable/Not present.

Conclusion stated in the document: "The subject of this premarket submission, Capsule Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." (Page 15)

A new version of the Neuron Mobile Platform (Neuron 3) is being added to the Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System, in addition to the Neuron 2 of previous 510(k) submissions. Neuron 3 was developed and released under a separate program which was primarily driven by a CPU update. The Neuron 3 is now being added to the Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System.

The design changes introduced with the Neuron 3 are:

  • A new touch screen that uses capacitive versus resistive technology.
  • A new display screen that uses a glossy display versus a matte display. ।
  • Incorporating the primary audio alarm mechanism and the watchdog । functionality which was formerly implemented in the NIBP Monitoring Module. The new implementation of the primary audio alarm mechanism and the watchdoq functionality re-uses the same electrical design as before, except with a new speaker.
  • । Update the operating system to Windows 10.

Capsule Vitals Plus Application

The Capsule Vitals Plus Application is a mobile medical application operating on the Capsule Neuron. The Vitals Plus Application controls the externally integrated vital signs modules through interfaces on the Neuron and the Vital Plus NIBP Monitoring Modules and presents patient information to the user for active monitoring purposes at the point of care. The supported physiological parameters are: NIBP (systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse rate, SpO2, end-tidal and fractional concentration of inspired CO2, respiration, and temperature. This is unchanged from the predicate device.

The Vitals Plus Application has been modified to include a plethysmography wave display which is derived either from either the Nellcor SpO2 Oximetry Module or the Masimo uSpO2 Pulse Oximetry Cable.

The Capsule Vitals Plus Application controls the operation of the uSpO2 to measure SpO2 and pulse rate in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.

Exergen TAT-5000S Temperature Sensor

The Exergen TAT-5000S temperature sensor is designed for noninvasive temperature assessment by scanning the temporal artery. The thermometer operates independently but communicates its results to the Vitals Plus Application for display and monitoring.

Capsule Early Warning Scoring System

The Capsule Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS) is an optional software component that integrates with the Capsule Vitals Plus Application and runs on the Capsule Neuron. Capsule EWSS performs a medical calculation that aids clinical users in patient assessment and condition trending. This calculation, which would otherwise be completed manually, produces an aggregate patient score from a set of sub-scores determined from the values of measured vital signs and manually entered physiological observations. The resulting aggregate score is displayed on the Vitals Plus Application and may be communicated to other healthcare information systems. EWSS requires the clinical user to attend the patient in order to function. There is no automatic or continuous scoring. The specific scoring method used within Capsule EWSS to calculate a patient's score is determined by the customer.

Intended Use

The Capsule Vitals Plus Patient Monitoring System is intended for monitoring and alarming of physiologic parameters, including non-invasive blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure), pulse rate, functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), end-tidal and fractional concentration of inspired CO2, respiration, and temperature, on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in health care facilities when

Discussion

The only difference between the proposed Capsule Vital Plus intended use and the predicate SmartLinx Vitals Plus intended use is the brand name. There are no differences in classification. The main battery for Neuron 3 is new but uses the same technologies as the predicate Neuron 2. The new touch screen and display technologies, hardware computing platform and operating system of the Neuron 3 have all been verified and validated according to standard protocol against the same specifications as the Neuron 2 and have been found to be operationally equivalent.

These differences between the proposed and predicate devices are not critical for the intended use of the proposed device, and do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

Performance Testing

{13}------------------------------------------------
