Intended Use

The SpiroSphere is a compact device inspiratory and expiratory lung function parameters in adults and children aged 4 years and older. It can be used by physicians in the office or hospital.

With the option ECG, electrocardio measurements can be made under resting conditions. For this purpose a 12channel surface electrocardiogram can be measured and recorded. The acquired ECG can be displayed on the screen or printed on paper. The interpretation software is intended to support the physician in evaluation of the resting ECG in terms of morphology and rhythm. Automatic interpretation of the ECG is not possible for pediatric subjects with an age below 16 years and for pacemaker subjects. It is not intended for intra-cardial use.

A qualified physician has to reassess all ECG measurements. An interpretation by SpiroSphere ECG is only significant if it is considered in connection with other clinical findings. ECG interpretation statements made by the SpiroSphere ECG represent partial qualitative and quantitative information on the patient's cardiovascular condition and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements. The SpiroSphere ECG is not intended for use in an EMS environment (Emergency Medical Services Environment).

The minimum age for ECG application is 4 years.

It can be used by physicians in the office or hospital.

With the CardioSphere, electrocardio measurements can be made under resting conditions. For this purpose a 12channel surface electrocardiogram can be measured and recorded. The acquired ECG can be displayed on the screen or printed on paper. The interpretation software is intended to support the physician in evaluation of the resting ECG in terms of morphology and rhythm. Automatic interpretation of the ECG is not possible for pediatric subjects with an age below 16 years and for pacemaker subjects. It is not intended for intra-cardial use.

A qualified physician has to reasurements. An interpretation by CardioSphere is only significant if it is considered in connection with other clinical findings. ECG interpretation statements made by the CardioSphere represent partial qualitative and quantitative information on the patient's cardition and no therapy or drugs can be administered based solely on the interpretation statements. The CardioSphere is not intended for use in an EMS environment (Emergency Medical Services Environment).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA, along with a device description and comparison tables to predicate devices. It discusses general information about the device, its intended use, technological characteristics, and a summary of device testing (e.g., software verification, risk analysis, electrical safety, EMC, human factors, cybersecurity, reprocessing validation). However, it does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for performance metrics (such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for its interpretation software, nor does it detail a specific study proving these criteria were met.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the given text.

Dear Prithul Bom:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Intended Use /Indications for UseThe COR12 ECG is intended formeasuring the surfaceelectrocardiogram (ECG) of a patient.The acquired ECG can be recorded anddisplayed on a screen or printed onpaper. The COR12 ECG can be usedfor applications in patients age 4 yearsand older and a weight of 20 kg orhigher. The COR12 ECG is intended tobe used for routine ECG collection,recording both under resting and stressconditions. The measurement isperformed by trained healthcareprofessionals under the direction of aphysician in healthcare facilities (e.g.the doctor's office or hospital).The SpiroSphere is a compact deviceto measure inspiratory and expiratorylung function parameters in adultsand children aged 4 years and older.With the option ECG,electrocardiographic measurementscan be made under restingconditions. For this purpose a 12-channel surface electrocardiogramcan be measured and recorded. Theacquired ECG can be displayed onthe screen or printed on paper. Theinterpretation software is intended tosupport the physician in evaluation ofthe resting ECG in terms ofmorphology and rhythm. Automaticinterpretation of the ECG is notpossible for pediatric subjects with anage below 16 years and forpacemaker subjects. It is notintended for intra-cardial use.A qualified physician has to reassessall ECG measurements.
