Intended Use

The AHI System is intended for use by healthcare professionals managing patients 18 years or older who are receiving continuous physiological monitoring with electrocardiography (ECG) in hospitals.

AHI provides a frequently updated binary output over time based on pattern analysis of a lead-II ECG waveform intended to describe a patient's hemodynamic status and indicate if a patient is showing signs of hemodynamic stability or instability. Signs of hemodynamic instability (HI) are defined as hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure (MAP) <70 mmHg) combined with tachycardia (heart rate ≥ 100 bpm).

AHI-PI provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient's likelihood of a future episode of HI. An episode of HI is defined as 10 continuous minutes or more where HI is present.

The goal of this adjunctive monitoring method is to enable identification of patients who are likely to experience a future episode of HI, and to allow clinicians an opportunity to increase vigilance. This device is intended for adjunctive use with other physical vital sign parameters and patient information and is not intended to independently direct therapy.

Device Description

The AHI System is a multiparameter system designed to meet clinicians' need to identify patient hemodynamic status and predict patient hemodynamic instability episodes using two analytics:

  1. Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability (AHI) (as granted in DEN200022): Utilizing data from a single existing lead of a non-invasive electrocardiograph (ECG), AHI analyzes heart rate variability (HRV) and ECG morphology features to rapidly detect signs of hemodynamic stability or instability and categorize each window of data as either "AHI Stable" or "AHI Unstable." Time trending of AHI outputs is also provided.

  2. Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability Predictive Indicator (AHI-PI): Utilizing AHI outputs from up to the most recent 30 minutes of ECG data, AHI-PI indicates the likelihood of a future episode of hemodynamic instability, defined as ten continuous minutes or more where signs of hemodynamic instability are present.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (AHI-PI)
Distinguish Risk Levels for Hemodynamic InstabilityProbability of HI in next 1 hour: - Low Risk (Green): 0.7% (CI: 0.4%, 1.3%) - Moderate Risk (Yellow): 6.5% (CI: 3.7%, 10.3%) - High Risk (Red): 35.9% (CI: 28.1%, 44.0%)
Likelihood of HI compared to Low Risk- Moderate Risk: 9x more likely to have an episode of HI in the next 1 hour than Low Risk. - High Risk: 51x more likely to have an episode of HI in the next 1 hour than Low Risk.
Prediction of patient deterioration (among those who had HI)89% of cases correctly predicted.
Lead Time for PredictionMedian lead time of 48 minutes.
Clinical BenefitDemonstrate significant discrimination between risk of future hemodynamic instability events, providing adjunctive information to clinicians to facilitate fewer missed diagnoses of emerging HI/patient deterioration.

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

  • Sample Size: 65,969 "windows" (data points representing a period of time for which an AHI-PI indicator was generated). The exact number of patients is not explicitly stated, but the note mentions: "The unit of analysis here is at the windows level and not the patient level." The study used bootstrapping to account for multiple measurements per subject.
  • Data Provenance: Prospectively collected from consecutive patients at Michigan Medicine. This indicates the data is from the United States and is prospective.
  • Targeted Patient Population: Hospitalized patients 18 years or older who are receiving continuous physiological monitoring with electrocardiography (ECG) and are not contraindicated. Due to study design considerations, the primary study population was limited to patients who were invasively monitored with an arterial line.

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

  • The document does not mention the use of experts to establish the ground truth for the test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document does not mention an adjudication method for the test set.

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 comparative effectiveness study is mentioned for the AHI-PI system. The study focuses on the standalone performance of the AHI-PI algorithm. The device is intended for "adjunctive use" meaning it supports human healthcare professionals, but specific studies on human improvement with AI assistance are not described here.

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

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was done for the AHI-PI. The reported data in the table directly reflects the algorithm's ability to predict hemodynamic instability without human intervention in the prediction process itself. The study compared AHI-PI outputs to a vital signs reference standard.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Outcomes Data/Physiological Reference Standard: The ground truth for hemodynamic instability (HI) was defined using a "hemodynamic vital signs reference standard" based on continuous vital signs:
    • Hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure (MAP) <70 mmHg) combined with
    • Tachycardia (heart rate ≥ 100 bpm)
  • An "episode of HI" was further defined as 10 continuous minutes or more where these HI conditions are present.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not specify the sample size used for the training set. It only describes the validation data.

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

  • The document does not specify how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only describes the ground truth for the validation set.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION 4.

The AHI System is a multiparameter system designed to meet clinicians' need to identify patient hemodynamic status and predict patient hemodynamic instability episodes using two analytics:

  1. Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability (AHI) (as granted in DEN200022): Utilizing data from a single existing lead of a non-invasive electrocardiograph (ECG), AHI analyzes heart rate variability (HRV) and ECG morphology features to rapidly detect signs of hemodynamic stability or instability and categorize each window of data as either "AHI Stable" or "AHI Unstable." Time trending of AHI outputs is also provided.

  2. Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability Predictive Indicator (AHI-PI): Utilizing AHI outputs from up to the most recent 30 minutes of ECG data, AHI-PI indicates the likelihood of a future episode of hemodynamic instability, defined as ten continuous minutes or more where signs of hemodynamic instability are present.

INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE 5.

The AHI System is intended for use by healthcare professionals managing patients 18 years or older who are receiving continuous physiological monitoring with electrocardiography (ECG) in hospitals.

AHI provides a frequently updated binary output over time based on pattern analysis of a lead-II ECG waveform intended to describe a patient's hemodynamic status and indicate if a patient is showing signs of hemodynamic stability or instability. Signs of hemodynamic instability (HI) are defined as hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure (MAP) <70 mmHg) combined with tachycardia (heart rate ≥ 100 bpm).

AHI-PI provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient's likelihood of a future episode of HI. An episode of HI is defined as 10 continuous minutes or more where HI is present.

The goal of this adjunctive monitoring method is to enable identification of patients who are showing HI or are likely to experience a future episode of HI, and to allow clinicians an opportunity to increase vigilance. This device is intended for adjunctive use with other physical vital sign parameters and patient information and is not intended to independently direct therapy.

{6}------------------------------------------------

In conclusion, the differences in the intended use and technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on the detailed comparison between the predicate devices and the subject device, the performance testing, and conformance with applicable standards, the AHI System can be found substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

{7}------------------------------------------------

7. PERFORMANCE DATA

Biocompatibility Testing

The AHI System is a software only device. There are no direct or indirect patient-contacting components of the subject device; therefore, patient contact information is not needed for this device.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Not applicable. The AHI System is a software-only device. It contains no electric components, generates no electrical emissions, and uses no electrical energy of any type.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a moderate level of concern. Testing was conducted to ensure the AHI System works as designed.

Bench Testing

Fifth Eye conducted a summative usability study according to the FDA 's guidance on Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices. Fifth Eve recruited 30 users to participate in the study. The results of the human factors validation study were positive and demonstrated that mitigations addressing use-related risk made during device development were effective.

Animal Testing

Not applicable. Animal studies are not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device.

Clinical Data

The clinical data to support AHI was provided in DEN200022. There have been no changes to AHI since that submission.

To validate that AHI-PI predicts a patient's likelihood of a future hemodynamic instability episode, defined as 10 continuous minutes or more where signs of hemodynamic instability are present, we compared AHI-PI outputs to episodes of hemodynamic instability as observed using a hemodynamic vital signs reference standard - Hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90mmHg or mean arterial pressure (MAP) <70 mmHg) combined with tachycardia (heart rate ≥100 bpm).

The targeted patient population for the AHI System is hospitalized patients 18 years or older who are receiving continuous physiological monitoring with electrocardiography (ECG) and are not contraindicated. While ideally the clinical study would reflect the full spectrum of levels of care for ECG-monitored patients, study design considerations required limiting the primary study population to only patients who were invasively monitored with an arterial line. Therefore,

{8}------------------------------------------------

beginning at the study start date, data were prospectively collected from consecutive patients in equipped beds (those that could store continuous measures of ECG, arterial line numeric data, and other vital signs) at Michigan Medicine.

As requested by FDA, and using bootstrapping to account for multiple measurements per subject, Fifth Eye has demonstrated that AHI-PI can distinguish the risk of developing hemodynamic instability for patients in different risk groups, i.e., those that are at low risk (green), moderate risk (yellow), and high risk (red).

AHI-PI IndicatorWindows inPrimary AnalysisSet (total 65,969windows) n (%)[2]Probability of an Episode ofHemodynamic Instability inthe next 1 hour measuredusing continuous vital signs [1](Observed [95% confidenceinterval])Likelihood Ratio

Probability estimates of the occurrence of an episode of hemodynamic instability in Table 2: the prediction window for each of the AHI-PI indicators (Study Population).

[1] The unit of analysis here is at the windows level and not the patient level.

[2] Windows included in the analysis total 65,969 to ensure that a full one hour is available for each AHI-Pl in order to determine whether an episode of hemodynamic instability is present or not.

As seen in Table 2, with the prevalence of 10.5% seen in the Primary Analysis Set population using the continuous vital signs reference standard, the probability of an episode of hemodynamic instability in the next 1 hour measured using continuous vital signs was 0.7%, 6.5%, and 35.9% for green, yellow, and red AHI-PI indicators respectively. An AHI-PI High Risk (red) indication is 51 times more likely and an AHI-PI Moderate Risk (yellow) indication is 9 times more likely to have an episode of hemodynamic instability in the next hour as compared to an AHI-PI Low Risk (green) indication. Thus, the risk predication and likelihood performance data show significant discrimination between the risk of future hemodynamic instability events between the different AHI-PI indications, demonstrating a clinical benefit by providing

{9}------------------------------------------------

adjunctive information to the clinician to facilitate fewer missed diagnoses of emerging hemodynamic instability/patient deterioration.

The other relevant metric is lead time. Of those patients who had an episode of hemodynamic instability, AHI-PI High Risk predicted patient deterioration in 89% of cases. The median lead time was calculated as 48 minutes. Although this lead time is less that the 3 hours reported for CLEWICU, it still provides an advance warning to clinicians that the patient is at risk of future hemodynamic instability. The differences in the performance do not impact the safety or effectiveness, as neither device is intended to be the sole factor upon which a patient's clinical care is based.

CONCLUSION 8.

The subject AHI System and the predicate devices have equivalent intended uses. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and the results of software verification, human factors and clinical validation demonstrate that the subject device performs in accordance with specifications and meets user needs and intended uses. Therefore, the AHI System has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
