Intended Use

The Oxehealth Vital Signs device is intended for noninvasive spot measurement of pulse rate and estimated breathing rate (chest wall movements) when the subject is still. It is software assessing video footage from a fixed-installation solution for use within single occupancy rooms within hospitals, general care and secured environments with professional healthcare oversight and where a framework exists which mandates periodic checks by a trained professional to ensure subject safety.

The Oxehealth system is intended for use by appropriately trained staff with a duty of care, and should not be used by untrained users.

The Oxehealth Vital Signs device is indicated for use on humans 18 years of age or older who do not require critical care or continuous vital signs monitoring.

The device is not intended to be the sole method of checking the physical health of a subject.

Device Description

The modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device uses custom-designed software to read data collected using off-the-shelf cameras. Data collected in this manner can be used to act as a non-contact monitor of pulse and breathing rates for individuals aged 18 and older in single-subject room environments. Video is collected through video cameras installed in each room. When run through proprietary software- controlled algorithms, the software will allow a user to make spot checks for pulse and breathing rates of the individual in the room. Validation testing has demonstrated that the algorithms show pulse and breathing rates that are statistically non-inferior when compared to conventional methods and technology that determine pulse and breathing rates.

AI/ML Overview

Based on the provided text, the Oxehealth Vital Signs device is a software-only medical device used for noninvasive spot measurement of pulse rate and estimated breathing rate. The document (K220899) is a Special 510(k) Notice, indicating modifications to a previously cleared device (Oxehealth Vital Signs version 1.47.0, K211906), rather than an initial submission. Therefore, the detailed clinical study data with sample sizes for test and training sets, ground truth establishment methods, expert qualifications, and detailed statistical results (like MRMC study effect sizes) are not explicitly present in this document, as it refers back to the original DEN200019 submission for clinical evidence.

However, based on the provided text, we can extract the following information regarding acceptance criteria and general study approach:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

ParameterAcceptance Criteria (from predicate's performance)Reported Device Performance (as the modified device is stated to have "no change" in performance)
Pulse rate measurement50 to 130 ± 3 beats per minute* (9-second measurement window)50 to 130 ± 3 beats per minute* (9-second measurement window)
Estimated breathing rate (chest wall movements) measurement8 to 31 ± 2 breaths per minute* (30-second measurement window)8 to 31 ± 2 breaths per minute* (30-second measurement window)
Note on Accuracy* Accuracy uses the RMSE criterion. Pulse rate accuracy may be reduced when the subject has a pulse rate greater than 110 beats per minute.* Accuracy uses the RMSE criterion. Pulse rate accuracy may be reduced when the subject has a pulse rate greater than 110 beats per minute.

Note: The document explicitly states "no change" in performance for the modified device compared to the predicate, K211906, which in turn relied on clinical evidence from DEN200019. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and reported performance for the modified device are the same as its predicate.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: This specific 510(k) submission (K220899) does not provide new sample sizes for a test set. It states: "Clinical evidence was supplied and reviewed in DEN200019. The proposed modifications discussed in this Special 510(k) submission do not affect any of the fundamental principles of operation or performance of the device in measuring pulse rate and estimating breathing rate (chest wall movements). ... The original clinical evidence is still considered applicable now, no new clinical evidence is required..." To find the specific sample sizes, one would need to refer to the DEN200019 submission.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in this document. It would be in the original DEN200019 submission.

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

  • Not specified in this document. This information would be in the original DEN200019 submission.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not specified in this document. This information would be in the original DEN200019 submission.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its Effect Size

  • This device is a standalone measurement device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers, so an MRMC comparative effectiveness study where human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance is not applicable to its stated function. The primary comparison is to "conventional methods and technology" for vital sign measurement (as stated in Device Description, page 5 of 11).

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

  • Yes, this is a standalone device. The "Validation testing has demonstrated that the algorithms show pulse and breathing rates that are statistically non-inferior when compared to conventional methods and technology that determine pulse and breathing rates." (Device Description, page 5 of 11). The performance data listed in the table (50-130 ± 3 bpm, 8-31 ± 2 bpm) refers to the algorithm's direct output compared to a reference.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth for the clinical evidence (from DEN200019) was established by comparison with "a clinically accurate patient-contacting relevant comparator device in an accurate and reproducible manner." (Clinical data requirement, page 6 of 11). This implies direct physiological measurement using established medical devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not specified in this document, as it refers back to the original DEN200019 submission for clinical evidence.

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

  • Not specified in this document, as it refers back to the original DEN200019 submission for clinical evidence. However, given that it's a device that measures vital signs by assessing video footage, it's highly probable that the ground truth for training would have been established by simultaneously recording vital signs using "clinically accurate patient-contacting relevant comparator devices" while the video footage was collected.

Purpose of the Special 510(k) Notice:

The Oxehealth Vital Signs medical device is a modification to Oxehealth Vital Signs version 1.47.0.

  • Indications for Use: The modified Oxehealth Vital Signs is intended to be used for Non-invasive spot check measurements of pulse rate and breathing rate (chest wall movements).

{4}------------------------------------------------

The modified Oxehealth Vital Signs is indicated for use are as follows:

"The Oxehealth Vital Signs device is intended for noninvasive spot measurement of pulse rate and estimated breathing rate (chest wall movements) when the subject is still. It is software assessing video footage from a fixed-installation solution for use within single occupancy rooms within hospitals, general care and secured environments with professional healthcare oversight and where a framework exists which mandates periodic checks by a trained professional to ensure subject safety.

The Oxehealth system is intended for use by appropriately trained staff with a duty of care, and should not be used by untrained users.

The Oxehealth Vital Signs device is indicated for use on humans 18 years of age or older who do not require critical care or continuous vital signs monitoring.

The device is not intended to be the sole method of checking the physical health of a subject."

Device Description: The modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device uses custom-designed software to read data collected using off-the-shelf cameras. Data collected in this manner can be used to act as a non-contact monitor of pulse and breathing rates for individuals aged 18 and older in single-subject room environments. Video is collected through video cameras installed in each room. When run through proprietary software- controlled algorithms, the software will allow a user to make spot checks for pulse and breathing rates of the individual in the room. Validation testing has demonstrated that the algorithms show pulse and breathing rates that are statistically non-inferior when compared to conventional methods and technology that determine pulse and breathing rates.

Consideration of Special Controls Guidance:

The De Novo grant identified several special controls to be applied to products submitted under 21 CFR 870.2785. The following information assesses the special controls in light of the proposed modifications to the Oxehealth Vital Signs device.

(1) A software description and the results of verification and validation testing based on a comprehensive hazard analysis and risk assessment must include:

(i) A full characterization of the software technical parameters, including algorithms;

(ii) If required image acquisition hardware is not included with the device, full specifications of the hardware requirements and testing to demonstrate the specified hardware ensures adequate data for validated and accurate measurements.

{5}------------------------------------------------

(iii) A description of the expected impact of all applicable sensor acquisition hardware characteristics and associated hardware specifications; (iv) A description of all mitigations for user error or failure of any subsystem components (including signal detection, signal analysis, data display, and storage) on output accuracy; and

(v) Software documentation must include a cybersecurity vulnerability and management process to assure software functionality.

A complete set of software documentation, demonstrating that the software Special Controls are met, is described in section VIII (Software) of this submission and objective evidence appended in the identified attachments.

(2) Clinical data must be provided. This assessment must fulfill the following: (i) The clinical data must be representative of the intended use population for the device. Any selection criteria or sample limitations must be fully described and justified.

(ii) The assessment must demonstrate output consistency using the expected range of data sources and data quality encountered in the intended use population and environment.

(iii) The assessment must compare device output with a clinically accurate patient-contacting relevant comparator device in an accurate and reproducible manner.

Clinical evidence was supplied and reviewed in DEN200019. The proposed modifications discussed in this Special 510(k) submission do not affect any of the fundamental principles of operation or performance of the device in measuring pulse rate and estimating breathing rate (chest wall movements). In addition, the proposed change to use more than one installation of the hardware to apply the software device to two separate, non-overlapping areas of a single room is not intended to change the types of rooms or patients on which the device is used, with the camera installation intended to have the same general positioning and orientation requirements; at a high level, with a broad field of view of the area in the patient is expected to occupy. The original clinical evidence is still considered applicable now, no new clinical evidence is required, and this Special Control is met.

(3) A human factors and usability engineering assessment must be provided that evaluates the risk of improper measurement.

Human factors and usability engineering assessments were provided and reviewed in DEN200019. The proposed modifications discussed in this Special 510(k) submission do not affect the manner in which the modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device is interfaced with or used, with no new human factors or usability concerns introduced by the use of the software to observe separate, non-overlapping areas in the same room, therefore no new human factors testing is required, and this Special Control is met.

  • (4) Labeling must include:

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

(i) A description of what the device measures and outputs to the user; (ii) Warnings identifying sensor acquisition factors or subject conditions or characteristics (garment types/textures, motion, etc.) that may impact measurement results:

(iii) Guidance for interpretation of the measurements, including a statement that the output is adjunctive to other physical vital sign parameters and patient information:

(iv) The expected performance of the device for all intended use populations and environments: and

(v) Robust instructions to ensure correct system setup. In addition, this is a prescription device and must comply with 21 CFR 801.109.

Labeling complying with special controls are described in section V and the proposed instructions for use are provided in Attachment 01. Relevant information supporting the continued conformance with Special Controls are provided in more detail in Section V (labeling) and Section VIII (Software).

The labelling changes identified in Section V (labeling). include minor changes in response to risk analysis of the change to accomodate installations that may focus on a single occupancy area of a larger physical room. Installation and installation qualification instructions are described in Attachment 21, the Vital Signs-INS-Installation Instructions. Relevant information supporting the continued conformance with Special Controls are provided in more detail in Section V (labeling) and Section VIII (Software).

Technological Characteristics:

The technical specifications for the modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device are as reviewed in DEN200019 and K211906; Oxehealth Vital Signs is a software only medical device, intended to run on standard, off the shelf computing hardware with an off the shelf video camera and infrared illuminator. The technological characteristics of the software are largely unchanged, with details provided in VIII (Software).

Performance Data: As the modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device is solely software, performance testing is demonstrated through software validation. Therefore this Special 510(k) notice is accompanied by software verification and validation testing described further below and provided in Attachment 05.

The special controls document additionally requires clinical and human factors evidence to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device. Oxehealth has assessed the changes that are proposed for implementation in the US; as none of them affect the algorithm or the functionality of the software, the evidence supplied in support of DEN200019 is still applicable and does not need to be repeated.

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

Substantial Equivalence:

The modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device has the same intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as Oxehealth Vital Signs version 1.47.0. The minor differences in the modified Oxehealth Vital Signs do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate. Thus, the modified Oxehealth Vital Signs device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.

Conclusions:

In summary, the company's modified Oxehealth system has the same intended use as the previously cleared predicate device. In addition, the modified Oxehealth system has very similar technological characteristics,

{10}------------------------------------------------

and principles of operation as its predicates. Although there are minor differences between the modified Oxehealth system and its predicate devices as described above, those differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate. Thus, the modified Oxehealth system is substantially equivalent.
