The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor was designed to simplify the customer experience by providing one platform with modular solutions for all hemodynamic monitoring needs. The user can choose from available optional sub-system modules or use multiple sub-system modules at the same time. This modular approach provides the customer with the choice of purchasing and/or using specific monitoring applications based on their needs. Users are not required to have all of the modules installed at the same time for the platform to function.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Edwards Lifesciences HemoSphere Advanced Monitor (HEM1) and associated components outlines the device's indications for use and the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or the specific study results (performance data) in the format typically required to answer your request fully, especially for acceptance criteria and performance of an AI/algorithm-based feature like the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) or Assisted Fluid Management (AFM).
The document states:
- "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications."
- "Measured and derived parameters were tested using a bench simulation. Additionally, system integration and mechanical testing was successfully conducted to verify the safety and effectiveness of the device. All tests passed."
- "Software verification testing was conducted, and documentation was provided per FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". All tests passed."
This indicates that internal performance specifications were met, but the specific metrics, thresholds, and study designs for achieving those specifications are not detailed in this public summary.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table with specific numerical performance data against acceptance criteria for the HPI or AFM features, nor can I provide details on sample size, expert ground truth establishment, or MRMC studies, as this information is not present in the provided text.
The text primarily focuses on:
- Substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
- Indications for Use for various HemoSphere configurations and modules.
- Description of software and hardware modifications (e.g., integration of HPI algorithm, new finger cuffs).
- General categories of testing performed (Usability, System Verification, Electrical Safety/EMC, Software Verification) with a blanket statement that "All tests passed."
Based on the provided document, here's what can and cannot be stated:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Cannot be provided with specific numerical data or thresholds from the given text. The document only states that "all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications." No specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., "Accuracy > X%", "Sensitivity > Y%", "Mean Absolute Error < Z") or reported performance values are publicly disclosed in this summary for any parameter, including HPI or AFM. For measured and derived parameters (like CO, MAP, etc.), it states they were tested using bench simulation, and "All tests passed," implying they met internal accuracy specifications for physical measurements, but these are not detailed.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Cannot be provided from the given text. The document mentions "bench simulation" for measured and derived parameters, but does not provide sample sizes for these, or the type/provenance of data for testing the HPI or AFM algorithms.
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)
Cannot be provided from the given text. The document doesn't describe the process of establishing ground truth for the algorithms, nor does it mention the number or qualifications of experts involved in such a process.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Cannot be provided from the given text. There is no mention of adjudication methods for any test sets.
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
Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not describe any MRMC studies or human-in-the-loop performance evaluation regarding the HPI or AFM features. The HPI and AFM features are described as providing "physiological insight" and "suggestions," not as tools requiring reader interpretation in a comparative effectiveness study as typically seen with imaging AI.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Likely yes, based on the nature of the algorithms, but no specific performance metrics are provided. The HPI and AFM features are stated to provide "quantitative information" and "suggestions." The text indicates "System Verification (Non-Clinical Performance)" and "Software Verification" were performed, suggesting standalone evaluation against internal specifications, but no detailed results are provided. The HPI algorithm itself was "previously cleared in K230057," implying its standalone performance would have been evaluated during that prior clearance, but those details are not in this document.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Cannot be definitively stated from the given text. For the HPI feature, which predicts future hypotensive events, ground truth would typically involve actual patient outcomes (e.g., observed hypotensive events). For AFM, which suggests response to fluid therapy, ground truth might involve observed physiological responses to fluid boluses. However, the document does not specify how these ground truths were established for the purpose of testing the algorithms.
8. The sample size for the training set
Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not mention details about the training data for the algorithms.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not mention details about the training data or its ground truth establishment.
Summary of Device Features Mentioned in Relation to Performance/Testing (General):
- HemoSphere Advanced Monitor and various modules/accessories: The document primarily describes this as a monitoring platform for various hemodynamic parameters (CO, SvO2, MAP, etc.). Performance for these measured and derived parameters was tested via "bench simulation," and "All tests passed," implying they met internal benchmarks for accuracy and reliability.
- Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software feature: This feature provides "physiological insight into a patient's likelihood of future hypotensive events." It was integrated from a previously cleared device (K230057). The document states "There are no changes to the Acumen HPI algorithm from what was cleared in K230057." This implies that the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the HPI algorithm itself would be found in the K230057 clearance documentation, not typically resubmitted in detail for integration into another platform unless the integration process significantly altered its functionality or intended use.
- Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) software feature: This feature provides "physiological insight into a patient's estimated response to fluid therapy" and "suggestions." It also mentions "Acumen AFM fluid administration suggestions are offered to the clinician; the decision to administer a fluid bolus is made by the clinician, based upon review of the patient's hemodynamics. No therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Assisted Fluid Management suggestions." This language suggests it's a supportive, advisory tool, rather than a diagnostic one requiring strict accuracy metrics in the same way. No performance specifics for AFM are given.
- Usability Study: Conducted to ensure primary operating functions and critical tasks can be performed without patient or user harm. Determined that "intended users can perform primary operating functions and critical tasks of the system without any usability issues that may lead to patient or user harm." This is an acceptance criterion for human factors, but not for algorithmic performance.
- Electrical Safety and EMC, Software Verification: All tests passed. These are general product safety and quality criteria, not specific to the performance of the predictive algorithms.
To obtain the detailed performance data, acceptance criteria, sample sizes, and ground truth information for the HPI or AFM algorithms, one would typically need to refer to the original 510(k) submission for the HPI algorithm (K230057) and potentially separate documentation for the AFM feature, which are not included in this general clearance letter for the HemoSphere platform update.

Software modifications to the subject HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform (K223865, Cleared June 9th, 2023):
- Software modification to the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor (HEM1): The existing software components of HemoSphere Advanced Monitor (HEM1-SHM and DBM) have been updated to support graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the new features introduced to the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform.
The GUI updates include the following features:
-
Fluid meter only Mode: For user convenience, the automatic bolus tracking feature can now also be used independently in "Fluid Meter Only" mode to track fluid administration. In this mode, users can track fluid delivery via an existing Acumen fluid meter instead of manually tracking and logging. During this mode, the AFM algorithm will be disabled, and the user will not get any bolus suggestions.
-
Modification to provide an option to use the existing pulse rate instead of heart rate input for calculating associated parameters: The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform currently requires a heart rate (HR) signal to be computed to calculate parameters such as EDV, EDVI, RVEF, sEDV, sEDVI, SV and SVI parameters. Modifications have been made to allow users to have the option to use HR or alternatively utilize existing pulse rate (PR)for the parameter calculation.
-
Miscellaneous Graphical User Interface (GUI) updates: The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform GUI has been updated to support the features listed below and to provide user convenience.
-
Integration of the existing Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) Algorithm: The previously cleared HPI Adjustable MAP target algorithm that was cleared in K230057 on June 8, 2023, is being integrated to the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform. There are no changes to the Acumen HPI algorithm from what was cleared in K230057. The same feature is now integrated
