No
The document explicitly states that the indices are derived by "mathematical manipulations" and are a "product of a model-based approach to risk estimation" based on "principles of physiology," not AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also indicates "Not Found".
No
The device is described as a software solution intended for data aggregation, visualization, and risk analytics, aiding in clinical decisions but explicitly stating that no therapy or drugs can be administered solely based on its interpretations.
Yes
Explanation: The T3 Risk Analytics Engine software module calculates four indices (IDO2 Index™, IVCO2 Index™, ACD Index™, HLA Index™) which indicate the risk of various conditions (inadequate oxygen delivery, inadequate carbon dioxide ventilation, acidemia, hyperlactatemia). These indices aid healthcare professionals in making clinical decisions and identifying patient status, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Software-only solution no new bedside hardware required". The intended use and device description focus solely on the software's functions of data aggregation, visualization, and risk calculation based on data from other medical devices.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The T3 Platform software aggregates and visualizes physiological data from bedside devices and laboratory measurements. It also calculates risk indices based on this data.
- Lack of Specimen Examination: The device does not directly examine specimens taken from the human body. While it uses laboratory measurements (like blood gases, CBC, lactic acid), it receives this data from other sources (presumably laboratory analyzers or systems). The software itself is not performing the in vitro diagnostic test on the specimen.
- Focus on Data Aggregation and Analysis: The primary function is to bring together data from various sources and apply algorithms to calculate risk indices, which are intended to aid healthcare professionals in clinical decisions.
Therefore, the T3 Platform software, as described, falls under the category of a medical device that processes and analyzes data from other medical devices and laboratory tests, rather than being an IVD itself.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The T3 Platform™ software features the T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module version 5.0 and the T3 Risk Analytics Engine software module version 8.0.
The T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module is intended for the recording and display of multiple physiological parameters of the adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients from supported bedside devices. The software module is not intended for alarm notification or waveform display, nor is it intended to control any of the independent bedside devices to which it is connected. The software module is intended to be used by healthcare professionals for the following purposes:
- To remotely consult regarding a patient's status, and
- To remotely review other standard or critical near real-time patient data in order to utilize this information to aid in clinical decisions and deliver patient care in a timely manner.
The T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module can display numeric physiologic data captured by other medical devices:
- Airway flow, volume, and pressure
- Arterial blood pressure (invasive and non-invasive, systolic, diastolic, and mean)
- Bispectral index (BIS, signal quality index, suppression ratio)
- Cardiac Index
- Cardiac output
- Central venous pressure
- Cerebral perfusion pressure
- End-tidal CO2
- Heart rate
- Heart rate variability
- Intracranial pressure
- Left atrium pressure
- Oxygen saturation (intravascular, regional, SpO2)
- Premature ventricular counted beats
- Pulmonary artery pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean)
- Pulse pressure variation
- Pulse Rate
- Respiratory rate
- Right atrium pressure
- Temperature (rectal, esophageal, tympanic, blood, core, nasopharyngeal, skin)
- Umbilical arterial pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean)
The T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module can display laboratory measurements including arterial and venous blood gases, complete blood count, and lactic acid.
The T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module can display information captured by the T3 Risk Analytics Engine software module.
The T3 Risk Analytics Engine software module calculates four indices: the IDO2 Index™ for inadequate delivery of oxygen, the IVCO2 Index™ for inadequate ventilation of carbon dioxide, the ACD Index™ for acidemia, and the HLA Index™ for hyperlactatemia.
The IDO2 Index™ is indicated for use by health care professionals with post-surgical patients 0 to 12 years of age and weighing 2 kg or more under intensive care. The IDO2 Index™ is derived by mathematical manipulations of the physiologic data and laboratory measurements received by the T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module. When the IDO2 Index™ is increasing, it means that there is an increasing risk of inadequate oxygen delivery and attention should be brought to the patient. The IDO2 Index™ presents partial quantitative information about the patient's cardiovascular condition, and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements.
The IVCO2 Index™ is indicated for use by health care professionals with invasively ventilated patients 0 to 12 years of age and weighing 2 kg or more under intensive care. The IVCO2 Index™ is derived by mathematical manipulations of the physiologic data and laboratory measurements received by the T3 Data Aggregation and Visualization software module. When the IVCO2 Index™ is increasing, it means that there is an increasing risk of inadequate carbon dioxide ventilation and attention should be brought to the patient. The IVCO2 Index™ presents partial quantitative information about the patient's respiratory condition, and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements.
The ACD Index™ is indicated for use by health care professionals with invasively ventilated patients 0 to 12 years of age and weighing 2 kg or more under intensive care. The ACD Index™ is derived by mathematical manipulations of the physiologic data and laboratory measurements received by the T3 Data Aggregation and Visualization software module. When the ACD Index™ is increasing, it means that there is an increasing risk of acidemia and attention should be brought to the patient. The ACD Index™ presents partial quantitative information about the patient's respiratory condition, and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements.
The HLA Index™ is indicated for use by health care professionals with post-surgical patients 0 to 12 years of age and weighing 2 kg or more under intensive care. The HLA Index™ is derived by mathematical manipulations of the physiologic data and laboratory measurements received by the T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software module. When the HLA Index™ is increasing, it means that there is an increasing risk of hyperlactatemia and attention should be brought to the patient. The HLA Index™ presents partial quantitative information about the patient's cardiovascular condition, and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The four indices were validated utilizing validation sets that included data from eleven different clinical sites in the US. The clinical study data were obtained by the T3 Platform software. No adverse effects and complications were noted. The indices were retrospectively computed on all de-identified patients. The new indices were evaluated against the same acceptance criteria as the supportive predicate device, being discriminatory power, range utilization, resolution/limitation, and robustness.
A patient cohort was used to validate the HLA Index. The distribution of the points included in the HLA study among the participating centers totaling 58,168 whole blood lactate measurements from 3,496 patients was included in that validation data set. The demographics were 31% infants, and 33% children.
A patient cohort was used to validate the ACD Index. The distribution of the points included in the ACD study among the participating centers totaling 24,431 arterial blood pH measurements from 1,858 patients was included in the validation data set. The demographics were 40% infants, and 26% children.
Additionally, subpopulations studies (neonates, infants, and children) under each of the HLA study and ACD study were completed.
Summary of Performance Studies
Study Type: Non-Clinical Performance Testing, Clinical Performance Testing.
Non-Clinical: Software documentation was provided in accordance with the 2017 FDA guidance document Software as a Medical Device (SAMD): Clinical Evaluation section 5.3 Analytical Validation of a SaMD to support device software with a moderate level of concern and to confirm and provide objective evidence that the software was correctly constructed. Cybersecurity information was provided in accordance with the 2014 FDA guidance document Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices. Additional summative evaluations were completed to demonstrate the consistency of the output, representative of the range of data sources and data quality, likely to be encountered. Human factors testing was used to support that device users could safely use the device.
Clinical: All of the four indices are a product of a model-based approach to risk estimation. The approach is designed based on principles of physiology, and parameters are chosen to reflect those specified in the medical literature and employed development testing data sets and validation sets. Development testing sets are used to evaluate the impact of the development changes during the development process. Validation sets are then used after all development is complete to validate that performance holds on an independent data set. The four indices were validated utilizing validation sets that included data from eleven different clinical sites in the US. The clinical study data were obtained by the T3 Platform software. No adverse effects and complications were noted. The indices were retrospectively computed on all de-identified patients. The new indices were evaluated against the same acceptance criteria as the supportive predicate device, being discriminatory power, range utilization, resolution/limitation, and robustness. A patient cohort was used to validate the HLA Index. The distribution of the points included in the HLA study among the participating centers totaling 58,168 whole blood lactate measurements from 3,496 patients was included in that validation data set.

The primary predicate device, having the product code PPW, is intended for use as a multiparameter monitor that uses sensor technology to measure a specific parameter. The devices that fall under this regulation product code (Adjunctive cardiovascular status indicator 21 CFR 870.2200) do not have alarms and do not have a set decision point, matching the functionalities of the subject device. The regulation product code of the primary predicate device includes special controls that were applied to the subject T3 Platform™ software. The regulation product codes between the subject T3 Platform™ software and supportive predicate T3 Platform™ software were unchanged. The subject T3 Platform™ software and supportive predicate T3 Platform™ software have the same Intended Use adding the ACD and HLA Indices.
| Feature/Improvement | Description |
|---|---|
| ACD Index | The underlying physiology model of the Risk Analytics Engine (version |
| 8.0) has been updated to afford the computation of a new index which | |
| is a measure of the likelihood that an arterial blood gas will indicate | |
| acidemia defined as arterial pH less than 7.25. The new index has been | |
| subject to the same performance testing as the predicate IDO2 and | |
| IVCO2 indices. Specifically, the enclosed 510(k) application includes | |
| performance test results using clinical data, covering the indicated | |
| patient age range: 0 to 12 years of age. | |
| Feature/Improvement | Description |
| HLA Index | Additional changes to the underlying physiology model of the Risk |
| Analytics Engine (version 8.0) enable the computation of a second new | |
| index which is a measure of the likelihood that a laboratory result will | |
| indicate hyperlactatemia defined as whole blood lactate level | |
| concentration above 4 mmol / L. The new index has been subject to the | |
| same performance testing as the predicate IDO2 and IVCO2 indices. | |
| Specifically, the enclosed 510(k) application includes performance test | |
| results using clinical data, covering the indicated patient age range: 0 to | |
| 12 years of age. | |
| Tidal Volume to Minute Ventilation Input | |
| Change | The Risk Analytics Engine (version 8.0) employs direct measurements of |
| minute ventilation provided by the ventilator instead of relying on the | |
| indirect calculation of minute ventilation accomplished by multiplying | |
| tidal volume and respiratory rate. | |
| Removal of EtCO2 as required input for | |
| IVCO2 | The IVCO2 Index included as part of the Risk Analytics Engine (version |
| 8.0) no longer requires EtCO2 to be available as part of the minimum | |
| data. More specifically, the software utilizes blood gas measurements, | |
| arterial or venous pCO2 collected at a minimum of once every 12 hours, | |
| interchangeably with EtCO2 measurements. When blood gases are not | |
| available, the software processes available EtCO2 measurements to | |
| satisfy the minimum data set required as was the case in previous | |
| cleared releases. | |
| Continuous Performance Assessment | In order to continually monitor the performance of the Risk Indices in |
| different operating environments and clinical settings, the Continuous | |
| Performance Assessment module (CPA) was developed, which | |
| periodically computes all critical performance metrics for a site and | |
| reports these metrics via email to the Etiometry Support team. If the | |
| CPA tool indicates that the performance of the Risk indices at a | |
| particular site is out of specification, the support team can use this | |
| information to take action, investigate the root cause, and apply | |
| mitigation measures as needed. | |
| Repair to the Risk Algorithm Engine response | |
| to Reinitialization | As part of the required behavior, when a Risk index is initialized on an |
| individual patient, the index is not reported before the minimum data | |
| set is achieved and the index is calibrated (5 minutes post initialization). | |
| This behavior was not propagated to the rare instances of algorithm | |
| reinitialization, which did not match the original requirement. The Risk | |
| Analytics Engine (version 8.0) provides a repair that satisfies the original | |
| requirement. | |
| Feature/Improvement | Description |
| IVCO2 Index patient population | The patient population in the indications for use was expanded from 29 |
| days to 12 years of age to 0 to 12 years of age for the IVCO2 Index in | |
| the Risk Analytics Engine (version 8.0). |
The subject and predicate devices differ with respect to several technological features. (see Table 98).

rable 98: Summary of Changes
9.7 Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing
Software documentation was provided in accordance with the 2017 FDA guidance document Software as a Medical Device (SAMD): Clinical Evaluation section 5.3 Analytical Validation of a SaMD to support device software with a moderate level of concern and to confirm and provide objective evidence that the software was correctly constructed.
Cybersecurity information was provided in accordance with the 2014 FDA guidance document Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.
Additional summative evaluations were completed to demonstrate the consistency of the output, representative of the range of data sources and data quality, likely to be encountered.
Human factors testing was used to support that device users could safely use the device.
9.8 Summary of Clinical Performance Testing
All of the four indices are a product of a model-based approach to risk estimation. The approach is designed based on principles of physiology, and parameters are chosen to reflect those specified in the medical literature and employed development testing data sets and validation sets. Development testing sets are used to evaluate the impact of the development changes during the development process. Validation sets are then used after all development is complete to validate that performance holds on an independent data set.
The four indices were validated utilizing validation sets that included data from eleven different clinical sites in the US. The clinical study data were obtained by the T3 Platform software. No adverse effects and complications were noted. The indices were retrospectively computed on all de-identified patients. The new indices were evaluated against the same acceptance criteria as the supportive predicate device, being discriminatory power, range utilization, resolution/limitation, and robustness.
A patient cohort was used to validate the HLA Index. The distribution of the points included in the HLA study among the participating centers totaling 58,168 whole blood lactate measurements from 3,496 patients was included in that validation data set. The demographics were 31% infants, and 33% children.
A patient cohort was used to validate the ACD Index. The distribution of the points included in the ACD study among the participating centers totaling 24,431 arterial blood pH measurements from 1,858 patients was included in the validation data set. The demographics were 40% infants, and 26% children.
Additionally, subpopulations studies (neonates, infants, and children) under each of the HLA study and ACD study were completed.

9.9 Summary
Based on the clinical performance, the T3 Platform™ software was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate devices.
9.10 Conclusions
Substantial equivalence of the T3 Platform™ software is demonstrated through performance testing and clinical evaluation and through the special controls of the PPW product code of the primary predicate device. The T3 Platform™ software has the equivalent design, features, and functionality as the supportive predicate T3 Platform™ software with few exceptions. These exceptions do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the system. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised as a result of the differences when compared to the predicate devices. The software verification demonstrates that the T3 Platform™ software performs as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical evaluation demonstrates that the T3 Platform™ software performs comparably to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
