AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Philips PageWriter TC35 Cardiograph, indicating that no clinical studies were required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to its predicate device, the PageWriter TC20 Cardiograph (K210560). Therefore, the document does not contain information related to specific acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, or comparative effectiveness studies (MRMC) with human readers improvement against AI.

However, the document does list the non-clinical tests and standards that the device passed to demonstrate compliance and substantial equivalence.

Here's a summary of the information available based on the provided text, addressing your questions where possible:

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

The document doesn't provide a table of performance metrics with specific acceptance criteria and reported values. Instead, it states that the device "successfully passed all verifications, testing and validations" against harmonized standards and internal procedures.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
SafetyPassed all safety tests
Electromagnetic CompatibilityPassed all EMC tests
CybersecurityPassed all cybersecurity tests
Software FunctionalityPassed software functional verification
Environment and ReliabilityPassed environment and reliability tests
Mechanical and HardwarePassed mechanical and hardware tests
PackagingPassed packaging tests
Human Factors and UsabilityPassed human factor and usability performance tests
Electrical SafetyPassed electrical safety tests

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document states "Non-clinical bench testing activities establish the performance, functionality, and reliability characteristics of the subject device... The PageWriter TC35 Cardiograph was evaluated against all applicable standards and internal procedures, and successfully passed all verifications, testing and validations." This implies a series of engineering tests rather than a clinical dataset.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable, as this refers to non-clinical bench testing and verification against standards, not patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

Not applicable, as no expert-established ground truth from a clinical test set is mentioned. The device's performance was evaluated against technical standards.

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

Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication is mentioned.

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 was done. The document explicitly states: "The PageWriter TC35 Cardiograph like the predicate device (K210560), it did not require clinical studies to demonstrate substantial equivalence." The device provides "interpretations for review by the clinical on an advisory basis" and requires a "qualified physician is asked to over read and validate (or change) the computer-generated ECG interpretation," indicating a human-in-the-loop system where the AI provides advisory input.

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

The device's ECG interpretation algorithm (PH110C) is mentioned as a "cleared algorithm" and provides advisory interpretations to the clinician. The document does not describe standalone performance testing of this algorithm without human-in-the-loop, nor does it provide its specific performance metrics.

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

Not applicable for the non-clinical tests described. For the integrated ECG interpretation algorithm, the method for establishing its "ground truth" (during its own clearance, K132068, which is referenced in the device description) is not detailed in this document.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. The document does not describe the training of an AI algorithm, but rather the performance validation of a medical device against technical standards. The integrated ECG algorithm (PH110C) is presented as a pre-existing "cleared algorithm."

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

Not applicable, as no training set for the current device is described. The ground truth for the previously cleared algorithm (K132068) is not detailed in this document.
