Intended Use

The Evolve DS (delivery system) delivers INOMAX® (nitric oxide for inhalation) therapy gas into the inspiratory limb of the patient breathing circuit in a way that provides a constant concentration of nitric oxide (NO), as set by the user, to the patient throughout the inspired breath. It uses a specially designed Injector Module, which enables tracking of the gas delivery system waveforms and the delivery of a synchronized and proportional dose of NO. It may be used with ventilators and respiratory care devices for which the Evolve DS has been validated. The Evolve DS provides continuous integrated monitoring of inspired NO2 and NO with a comprehensive alarm system. The Evolve DS also provides monitoring and alarms for the drug delivery system.

The Evolve DS incorporates a battery that provides up to 4 hours of uninterrupted NO delivery in the absence of external power. The Evolve DS also incorporates an integrated electronic blender that functions as a backup delivery device to provide an adjustable INOmax dose with user supplied oxygen to a manual resuscitator or gas delivery system. The electronic blender incorporates a separate control and delivery pathway that serves as a redundant mechanism for nitric oxide delivery in the event of a main system fault.

The Evolve DS must only be used in accordance with the indications, warnings and precautions described in the nitric oxide drug packaging inserts and labeling and is indicated for use in term and near-term (>34weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension. The Evolve DS is indicated for a maximum of 14 days use. The primary targeted clinical setting is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and secondary targeted clinical setting is the transport of neonates.

Device Description

The EVOLVE Nitric Oxide (NO) Delivery System (DS) is used for administration and monitoring of INOMAX (nitric oxide for inhalation). It is comprised of a main delivery device (EVOLVE), an electronic blender (eINOblender) for backup use, and a Cart which holds the EVOLVE as well as INOMAX drug cylinders, an oxygen cylinder and miscellaneous parts.

The EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System utilizes Technology component technology to deliver Nitric Oxide gas to the patient. The components consist of a main delivery device (EVOLVE), an electronic blender (eINOblender) for backup use, and a Cart which holds the EVOLVE as well as INOMAX drug cylinders, an oxygen cylinder and miscellaneous parts. In this revision of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System, the changes to the device includes the labeling for compatibility with respiratory care devices.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System. This submission is for an updated version of a previously cleared device (K240410 and K222930), primarily focusing on expanded labeling for compatibility with additional ventilator and breathing devices.

Therefore, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of device performance, as it pertains to a labeling update for compatibility. Clinical studies were explicitly stated as "not applicable to this submission."

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted based on your request, and what cannot:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

This information is not provided in the document. The filing is for a change in labeling for compatibility with more ventilator devices, not for demonstrating new performance criteria for the core device. It implicitly relies on the original clearance for the device's performance specifications.

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

  • Sample size for test set: Not explicitly stated as a numerical value for patients or cases. The "test set" in this context refers to the additional ventilator and breathing devices with which compatibility was tested.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was "conducted across all platforms to demonstrate that the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System performs within published specifications." This suggests laboratory or bench testing rather than clinical data from a specific geographic region or a prospective/retrospective study on human subjects.

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 provided. The testing described is focused on the device's functional performance and compatibility with other medical equipment, not on clinical interpretations that would require expert consensus for ground truth.

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

This information is not provided, as the nature of the "test set" does not involve clinical judgment requiring adjudication.

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 information is not applicable/provided. The device described is a nitric oxide delivery system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device that would involve human readers or image interpretation.

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

This information is not applicable/provided for the same reasons as above. The device doesn't involve an algorithm in the sense of AI for diagnostic or interpretive tasks.

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

The "ground truth" for the compatibility testing appears to be the published specifications of the EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System and the functional operation of the connected ventilator devices. The testing aimed to demonstrate that the EVOLVE system "performs within published specifications" when used with the additional ventilators.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This is not applicable/provided. The submission is not for a machine learning or AI-based device that would typically have a training set.

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

This is not applicable/provided.

Summary of what is available from the document:

  • Device Name: EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System
  • Purpose of Submission: Updated labeling for compatibility with additional ventilator and breathing devices.
  • Testing Conducted: "Ventilator / Gas Delivery System Validation Test Protocol" was used to validate hazard mitigation and demonstrate performance within published specifications across various ventilator platforms. This was the same protocol used in previous clearances (K222930 and K240410).
  • Clinical Studies: Explicitly stated as "not applicable to this submission."
  • Predicate Device: EVOLVE Nitric Oxide Delivery System (K240410). The current device is considered substantially equivalent.

In conclusion, the supplied document does not describe the types of performance studies (e.g., diagnostic accuracy, clinical effectiveness) and associated acceptance criteria that would typically involve many of the points in your request. Instead, it focuses on technical compatibility validation for a medical device.
