Intended Use

The Meritrans ECO Reusable Pressure Transducer is intended to be coupled with a disposable dome kit for converting hemodynamic pressure waveforms via a piezoresistive bridge circuit into electrical signals for invasive blood pressure monitoring when connected to a patient monitor or recording device.

The devices are intended for pediatric and adult patient populations.

Device Description

The Meritrans ECO Reusable Pressure Transducer is a non-invasive, reusable device used primarily for blood pressure monitoring. The housing assembly interfaces the pressure sensor assembly to the fluid channel of patient by coupling the transducer to the Meritrans ECO Disposable Dome. The fluid channel of patient is isolated from the pressure sensor by diaphragms. As the pressure signal of patient carried via the saline solution presses against the surface of transducer, the diaphragm is deflected, and the physiological pressure signal is transformed from the dome to the sensor of the reusable pressure transducer. Subsequently, the physiological pressure signal is transformed into electrical signal and displayed in a monitor that is connected via transducer interface cable.

The Meritrans ECO Disposable Domes are disposable diaphragm domes which are coupled with the reusable transducer for invasive blood pressure monitoring. The disposable diaphragm dome has a transparent hemispherical hollow cavity. The domes have two ports; one port of the dome has a rotating Luer Lock fitting where the patient line is connected. Another port has an adaptor for connection to a pressurized IV fluid bag or an infusion pump. The disposable diaphragm dome has a diaphragm membrane that isolates the patient's fluid-filled system from the reusable transducer. For dome models with flush devices, an integral flow/flush device provides continuous flow of fluid to maintain catheter patency during the invasive blood pressure measurements.

AI/ML Overview

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

The document lists various standards and states that "A battery of tests was performed based on the requirements of the below FDA recognized / non-recognized consensus standards and guidance, as well as biocompatibility, sterilization, and labeling standards and guidance." However, it does not specify the sample sizes used for these tests or the data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This information would typically be detailed in the test reports themselves, which are not included in this summary.

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)

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The device in question, a pressure transducer and disposable domes, is a hardware medical device with electrical and mechanical performance, biocompatibility, and sterility requirements. Its evaluation is based on engineering testing and biological assays against recognized standards, not on image interpretation or diagnostic performance with expert-established ground truth. Therefore, there are no "experts" in the sense of clinical reviewers establishing ground truth for a test set.

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

This is not applicable for the reasons stated above. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) where discrepancies need to be resolved to establish ground truth, typically in AI/ML performance evaluations.

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

This is not applicable. The device is an extravascular blood pressure transducer, a piece of hardware for physiological monitoring. It does not involve AI assistance for human readers in any diagnostic or interpretive task.

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

This is not applicable. The device is a hardware product, not a software algorithm.

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

For this device, the "ground truth" is established by the specified requirements and test methods outlined in the recognized consensus standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI BP22 for blood pressure transducers, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility). These standards define acceptable performance metrics, physical properties, and biological responses. The device's performance is measured against these established technical and biological benchmarks.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable. The device is a hardware medical device, and the evaluation described is for its physical and biological performance against standards, not for a trainable AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."

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

This is not applicable for the reasons stated above. There is no AI/ML training set mentioned or implied for this device's evaluation.
