The CARESCAPE R860 ventilator is a microprocessor based, electronically controlled, pneumatically driven ventilator that includes integrated monitoring of FiO2, airway pressure, flow, and volume. Additional respiratory gas monitoring capabilities are supported through the use of optional GE patient monitoring modules.

Not all features are available for all patient types or product configurations.

O2 Therapy is intended to be used for all adult patients and pediatric patients greater than 10 kg in weight.

The CARESCAPE R860 ventilator is not a pulmonary function calculation device.

The system is designed for facility use, including within-facility transport, and should only be used under the orders of a clinician.

Device Description

The CARESCAPE R860 is a flexible, adaptable, intuitive critical care ventilator offering invasive and non-invasive ventilation support. Touchscreen capability allows the user to quickly and easily access patient information and procedures. A wide selection of performance options gives the user full control of the system configuration. Icons represent configurable views of past (historical trends), present (patient status), and future patient needs (clinical decision support). The CARESCAPE R860 features patient monitoring, patient ventilation, and the capability of interfacing with central information management systems.

The CARESCAPE R860 ventilator is intended for healthcare facility use, including withinfacility transport.

The ventilator offers multiple ventilation modes:

  • A/C VC (Assist Control Volume Control)
  • A/C PC (Assist Control Pressure Control)
  • A/C PRVC (Assist Control Pressure Regulated Volume Control)
  • SIMV VC (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Volume Control)
  • SIMV PC (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Pressure Control)
  • CPAP/PS (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure/Pressure Support)
  • SBT (Spontaneous Breathing Trial)
  • nCPAP (nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
  • SIMV PRVC (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Pressure . Regulated Volume Control)
  • BiLevel
  • BiLevel VG (BiLevel airway pressure ventilation Volume Guaranteed)
  • VS (Volume Support)
  • NIV (Non-Invasive Ventilation)

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a medical device (CARESCAPE R860 ventilator). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than proving that a new AI/ML-based device meets specific performance criteria through a traditional clinical study with ground truth.

Therefore, many of the requested elements (e.g., acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample size for test sets, expert adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types for training/test sets) are not applicable in this context.

The document describes engineering verification and validation testing and compliance with recognized consensus standards to demonstrate that the modified device remains safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to its predicate.

Here's the information that is applicable and can be extracted from the provided text, along with explanations of why other points are not relevant:


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

The document doesn't present specific acceptance criteria in the format of a clinical performance study with AI metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC). Instead, it discusses the device's functional performance specifications and how they align with the predicate device and relevant standards. The "performance" is demonstrated through verification and validation that the modified device continues to meet its functional specifications and standards.

The closest to "acceptance criteria" are the specifications listed in the "Substantial Equivalence to the predicate CARESCAPE R860" and "Substantial Equivalence to the reference device, Hamilton G5" tables. The "reported device performance" is implied by the statement that the device meets these specifications and has undergone "Verification and validation was performed to demonstrate that the changes to the software continue to comply with applicable standards and guidances, and the product continues to meet the performance specifications."

Here's a partial summary derived from the tables:

"Substantially equivalent – Alternate versions of certain components have been introduced. There is no impact on the safety or effectiveness of the component or the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator as a result of the alternative designs. There is no change to the clinical use of the device."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not applicable as this is not a study involving a clinical test set from patient data for AI model evaluation. The "test set" here refers to engineering and software verification and validation activities. The document states:

  • "Non-clinical testing was performed to establish substantial equivalence of the CARESCAPE R860."
  • "Verification and validation testing has been performed according to predetermined acceptance criteria..."
  • "Testing included: Software verification and validation, Waveform comparison analysis, System verification, Accuracy testing, Stress testing."
  • "Where the changes to the ventilator affected compliance with applicable consensus standards, testing was performed to confirm continued compliance, or to demonstrate compliance with the recognized version of the standard."

The document does not detail specific sample sizes for these engineering tests (e.g., number of test cycles, duration of stress tests, number of waveforms analyzed). Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not applicable for this type of non-clinical testing.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. This submission focuses on hardware and software changes to a ventilator, not on a diagnostic AI device requiring expert-labeled ground truth from patient data. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is typically defined by engineering specifications, relevant industry standards, and established methods for measuring ventilator performance using test lungs and specialized equipment.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for clinical studies where human experts disagree on interpretations of medical data used as ground truth for an AI assessment. This is an engineering verification and validation submission for a physical device.

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 applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or clinical decision support device that would involve human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device (a ventilator) is not a standalone algorithm in the sense of AI/ML. Its performance is inherent in its electromechanical and software operation, which is verified against engineering specifications, not evaluated as an "algorithm only" with data processing outputs.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" in this context is based on engineering specifications, established physical principles, and recognized consensus standards for medical device performance. For example, accuracy testing involves comparing device measurements (e.g., FiO2, flow, volume) against known, precise inputs from calibrated equipment. Waveform comparison analysis involves comparing generated waveforms against theoretical or expected waveforms.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device introduction does not describe the development or training of an AI/ML model from a "training set" of data. The software development follows traditional engineering processes, not AI model training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. Per point 8, there is no AI/ML training set as described in the context of diagnostic or prognostic AI.

The High Flow Oxygentherapy feature is substantially equivalent tothe predicate Hamilton G5 ventilator. Thetechnology for the delivery of High FlowOxygen therapy, which is delivery of a setoxygen concentration (FiO2) at a fixed flowrate, is not novel or new to the ventilator. Theintended patient for High Flow Oxygentherapy on both products is a spontaneouslybreathing patient. A heater/humidifier isrequired for the delivery of High FlowOxygen from both ventilators to improvepatient comfort, due to the drying nature ofoxygen. The O2 Therapy mode is availablefor adult and pediatric patients weighinggreater than 10kg. It is not indicated forneonates. Verification evidence demonstratesthat the performance and specifications of theO2 Therapy function on the CARESCAPER860 are equivalent to those on the HamiltonG5. The O2 Therapy feature on theCARESCAPE R860 does not differ in itstechnological characteristics, function, orperformance and therefore, it is substantiallyequivalent.
