Study Details:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for any specific performance metric beyond general statements of testing compliance. For the "Clinical Studies" section related to SpO2 accuracy, it only notes that studies were conducted to "support accuracy performance" and "meet the acceptance criteria laid out in the associated protocols." No sample size for patients or data points is provided.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. The document mentions "Philips conducted clinical studies" but does not detail the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.
-
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. The document describes performance testing against established standards and internal "accuracy specifications". For the SpO2 accuracy claims, ground truth would typically be established by invasive measurements (e.g., CO-oximetry of arterial blood samples), not by expert review of device output. The document does not provide details on how ground truth was established for the clinical studies supporting SpO2 accuracy.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable/Not Specified. Since expert review for ground truth is not indicated, adjudication methods are not relevant in the context described.
-
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
- No. The provided text does not mention any MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This device is a telemetry monitor for physiological parameters, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. "Summative usability testing" was done, indicating human interaction with the device, but not in a comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance for human "readers."
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone algorithm performance is implied for certain functions, but not detailed. The device uses "Philips proprietary monitoring algorithms for ECG arrhythmia monitoring" (EASI, Hexad, ST/AR Arrhythmia Monitoring, ST/AR ST Analysis Algorithm, ST/AR QT/QTc Interval Monitoring). The performance of these algorithms would constitute "standalone" performance, but the document only states "Functional and system level testing... was performed. The results of the bench testing show that the subject device meets its accuracy specification and meet relevant consensus standards." No specific performance metrics for these algorithms are provided.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Not explicitly stated for all performance metrics.
- For SpO₂ accuracy, ground truth is typically established by comparing the device's SpO₂ readings to invasive arterial blood gas analysis (CO-oximetry). The document only states "Philips conducted clinical studies... to support accuracy performance."
- For other performance metrics related to compliance with standards (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, usability), the "ground truth" is adherence to the standard's requirements, demonstrated through specific tests.
- Not explicitly stated for all performance metrics.
-
The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable/Not Specified. The document mentions "Philips proprietary monitoring algorithms," which would have been developed using training data. However, the size or nature of any training set is not disclosed in this 510(k) summary, as it's not a primary requirement for demonstrating substantial equivalence for this type of device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable/Not Specified. The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for any potential training sets used in the development of "Philips proprietary monitoring algorithms" was established.
