Intended Use
Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm is an informational index intended to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired as expressed by the level of coherence or lack thereof between Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the Absolute Levels of Blood Oxygenation Saturation (StO2) in patient's cerebral tissue. MAP is acquired by the HemoSphere pressure cable and StO2 is acquired by the ForeSight oximeter cable. CAI is intended for use in patients over 18 years of age receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring. CAI is not indicated to be used for treatment of any disease or condition and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm.
Device Description
The Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm is being renamed to Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm. The originally cleared Cerebral Adaptive Index is in effect an index of cerebral autoregulation, and the renaming results in a labeling change. The evidence to support the proposed labeling change for the Cerebral Autoregulation Index algorithm demonstrates the capability of CAI to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired, as expressed by the level of coherence or lack thereof between MAP (as a surrogate of cerebral perfusion pressure) and cerebral StO2 (as a surrogate of cerebral blood flow) of the patient. The Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm is a derived parameter that quantifies the dynamic relationship between two existing hemodynamic parameters, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the Absolute Levels of Blood Oxygenation Saturation (StO2) in the cerebral tissue. CAI is intended to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired as expressed by the level of coherence between MAP and cerebral StO2. The output will be represented as an index value in a trend plot. MAP is acquired from the HemoSphere Pressure Cable (initially cleared in K180881 on November 16, 2018). StO2 used for computing CAI is acquired from the ForeSight Oximeter Cable (cleared in K201446 on October 1, 2020). CAI will be continuously displayed at 20-second rate. The parameter will not have any alarm ranges and will be represented as a number with a range between 0 to 100. A high CAI value (CAI ≥45) means that MAP and StO2 have a greater coherence and informs the clinician that alterations in MAP may result in concomitant changes in cerebral oxygen saturation because cerebral autoregulation is likely impaired. Whereas a low CAI value (CAI < 45) means there is lesser coherence between the two parameters, and therefore alterations in MAP may not result in concomitant changes in cerebral oxygen saturation because cerebral autoregulation is likely intact.
More Information

Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm

No
The description focuses on a derived parameter quantifying the dynamic relationship between two existing parameters (MAP and StO2) using a "coherence" metric, which is a standard signal processing technique, not explicitly AI/ML. The validation study uses traditional statistical methods (ROC analysis) and does not mention training or testing of an AI/ML model.

No
The device is described as an "informational index" and explicitly states it is "not indicated to be used for treatment of any disease or condition and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm."

Yes

The device provides an "informational index intended to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired," which helps in identifying a patient's physiological state regarding cerebral autoregulation. It is designed to discriminate between intact and impaired cerebral autoregulation, and performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and AUC are provided to demonstrate its diagnostic capability for this purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CAI algorithm is a derived parameter that quantifies the relationship between MAP and StO2, which are acquired from the HemoSphere Pressure Cable and the ForeSight Oximeter Cable, respectively. These are hardware components necessary for the device's function.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze specimens from the human body. The description clearly states that the CAI algorithm uses real-time, continuous measurements of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and cerebral tissue Oxygen Saturation (StO2) acquired directly from the patient via cables connected to external devices (HemoSphere Pressure Cable and ForeSight Oximeter Cable). These are physiological measurements taken in vivo, not analyses of specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • The intended use is to provide an informational index based on real-time physiological data. The algorithm processes live signals from the patient to derive an index representing the relationship between MAP and StO2. This is distinct from analyzing a blood sample, urine sample, or tissue biopsy in a laboratory setting, which is characteristic of IVDs.

The device is a software algorithm that processes physiological signals acquired from the patient to provide an index related to cerebral autoregulation. This falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Daphney Germain-Kolawole:

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.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
