Intended Use

The Nihon Kohden NKV-440 Ventilator System is intended to provide continuous ventilation for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who require invasive or noninvasive respiratory support. The NKV-440 offers mandatory and spontaneous ventilation modes as well as respiratory monitoring. The NKV-440 is intended for use in hospitals and hospital-type facilities, as well as, for in-hospital transportation.

Device Description

The NKV-440 is a servo-controlled ventilator that is designed to meet the gas delivery and performance requirements for neonate through adult patients. The NKV-440 design is comprised of two major components, a Breath Delivery Unit (BDU) and a Graphic User Interface (GUI). The GUI allows clinicians to set ventilator control parameters such as PEEP and inspiratory pressure, to set alarm limits such as high inspiratory pressure alarm, to view monitored numeric values, and to view waveforms. The BDU assembly contains a blower and the electronics required to perform breath delivery. Ambient air is taken into the blower and mixed with oxygen which is flow rate controlled by a proportional valve. The mixed gas is provided to the patient. The microprocessor controls the blower and the proportional valve to deliver the pressure and oxygen concentration which are set by the user. It also provides various alarms and other design features to maximize patient safety.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is an FDA 510(k) premarket notification for the Nihon Kohden NKV-440 Ventilator System. It details the device's indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to a predicate device (Nihon Kohden NKV-550 Ventilator System).

The document does not include information about AI/ML algorithm performance, acceptance criteria for such algorithms, or studies involving human readers or ground truth established by experts for image analysis. Therefore, I cannot address most of the specific points requested regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, as it relates to AI/ML device performance.

This 510(k) pertains to a physical medical device (a ventilator), and its substantial equivalence is demonstrated through engineering performance testing against established standards and comparison of technical characteristics with a legally marketed predicate device.

However, I can extract the general acceptance criteria for this type of device based on the information provided:

Summary of Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on the provided document for a Ventilator):

Since this is a ventilator and not an AI/ML diagnostic tool, the "acceptance criteria" discussed are related to performance against established engineering and safety standards, and functional equivalence to a predicate device, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics.

(followed by the list above).

Regarding the points specific to AI/ML device studies, the document states "Not Applicable" for clinical and animal performance data, and does not mention any AI/ML components inherent to the device or its assessment.

Therefore, the following points cannot be answered from the provided text:

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML clinical study. Performance is demonstrated through engineering tests and comparison to a predicate device.
  2. 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): Not applicable.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. 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: Not applicable.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In conclusion, the supplied document describes the regulatory clearance for a conventional medical ventilator by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance data and adherence to recognized standards. It does not involve AI/ML technology or human reader studies.
