Intended Use

The Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p is intended to provide a continuous air/oxygen gas mixture and to continuously monitor the concentration of oxygen and pressure being delivered to infant, pediatric, and adult patients. It is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel, under the direction of a physician, in professional healthcare settings, i.e., hospital, subacute, and nursing-care facilities where the delivery and monitoring of air/oxygen mixtures is required. This is not intended as a life-supporting device or life sustaining device.

Device Description

The Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p is an oxygen delivery device which incorporates an air/oxygen blender, battery powered oxygen and pressure monitor, and an adjustable flowmeter, all in a single assembly. The integral air/oxygen blender provides precise mixing of medical grade air and oxygen. The flowmeter provides control of the flow rate delivered. The oxygen monitor measures the oxygen concentration from the blender's gas flow, displays these measured concentrations, and provides user selectable high and low oxygen alarms. It also allows the user to monitor pressure simultaneously using adjustable high and low alarm limits.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes the Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p, a medical device combining an air/oxygen blender, oxygen monitor, pressure monitor, and flowmeter. The 510(k) submission seeks substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (Maxtec MaxBlend 2 - K161718 and MaxO2ME+p - K221734), particularly highlighting the addition of a pressure monitoring feature.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study information based on the provided text:

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

The document explicitly states:

  • Non-clinical Testing: "We performed a number of tests to demonstrate that the proposed device performed as intended." It then lists several international standards that the device met. It does not specify a sample size for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The testing appears to be primarily related to engineering and performance validation against standards rather than clinical data.
  • Clinical Testing: "No human clinical testing was performed."

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

Since "No human clinical testing was performed," and the primary testing involved adherence to international standards and non-clinical performance, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a clinical test set. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing would be the defined requirements and specifications within the cited standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as no human clinical test set is mentioned, and the testing focuses on compliance with technical standards.

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

Not applicable. This device is a medical gas mixer and monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation tool that would involve human readers or image analysis.

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

The device is a hardware product with integrated monitoring capabilities. Its "standalone" performance is measured through its adherence to the technical specifications and international standards listed under "Non-clinical Testing." The document states: "In all cases the subject device met the standard requirements." This implicitly confirms standalone performance against established benchmarks.

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

For the performance specifications (e.g., oxygen accuracy, pressure accuracy, flow rates), the ground truth is based on metrological standards and calibrated equipment used in accordance with the listed international standards (e.g., ISO 80601-2-55, ISO 11195). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by adherence to ISO 10993 and ISO 18562 standards.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a hardware medical device with integrated sensors and controls, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set."

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion and Conclusion

As discussed the only new feature is the pressure monitoring feature. All other features and performance are identical to the primary and secondary predicates, we will only discuss the pressure monitoring feature being added to the subject device.

Indications for Use

The subject device, Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p.is adding the cleared feature of measuring and monitoring pressure including the disposable accessory lines. This is similar to the secondary predicate K221734 – Maxtec – MaxO2 ME+p.

However, for product classification purposes we have compared to subject device to the primary predicate which has the same primary indications for use with the added pressure monitoring feature. The primary predicate, K161718 is the MaxBlend 2 which is an air/gas blender with oxygen monitoring.

Environment of Use

The subject device, MaxBlend 2+p has similar environments of use when compared to the primary predicate K161718 Maxtec - MaxBlend 2. There is no difference in the use environments and adding the pressure monitoring feature which has been cleared for the same use environments would raise different concerns of safety or effectiveness.

Population

The subject device, Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p has similar patient population as the primary predicate, K161718 Maxtec -MaxBlend 2. While the secondary predicate has been cleared with the pressure monitoring for newborn to adults, the subject device and its primary predicate have been cleared for infants, pediatrics and adults. The addition of the pressure monitoring feature remains within the same patient population as the secondary predicate.

Performance Specifications

The subject device, Maxtec MaxBlend 2+p, has similar performance specifications for the blender and oxygen monitoring features as the primary predicate, K161718 - Maxtec MaxBlend 2 and the pressure monitoring performance specifications as the secondary predicate, K221734 – Maxtec MaxO2 ME+p.

Non-clinical Testing

We performed a number of tests to demonstrate that the proposed device performed as intended. Testing includes:

  • AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1: 2005 +A1: 2012 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General ● requirements for basic safety and essential performance
  • IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.1 2020 Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances - Requirements and Tests
  • IEC 60601-1-8: 2012 Collateral Standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems
  • ISO 80601-2-55: 2018 Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of respiratory gas monitors
  • ISO 11195:2018 Gas mixers for medical use

In all cases the subject device met the standard requirements. Biocompatibility

The only new patient contacting materials are the disposable pressure tubing which are identical to the secondary predicate, K221734 - Maxtec MaxO2 ME+p. There are no changes in materials or patient contact type. These materials were evaluated in K221734 and included:

  • ISO 10993-5:2009 Cytotoxicity ●
  • ISO 10993-10:2010 Sensitization and Irritation ●
