Device Description

TOF Watch® device is a neuromuscular transmission monitor capable of estimating the degree of neuromuscular block in anesthetized patients. It can be used as an objective monitor using accelerometry for measuring the muscle contraction following a stimulation of the respective motorneuron, as a peripheral nerve stimulator (without the objective measuring function) for subjective monitoring and as a nerve location device utilizing a needle elctrode (needle electrode not supplied by Organon Teknika).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the TOF-Watch® device, a peripheral nerve stimulator and neuromuscular transmission monitor. The information about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them is primarily focused on nonclinical testing for substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy percentages, output ranges with defined limits) for performance and then directly report the device's measured performance against each. Instead, it refers to general analyses and adherence to standards.

However, we can infer some "acceptance criteria" related to functionality and safety, and the "reported performance" is that the device meets these.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Functionality: Output current at different simulated skin resistances meets specifications."Functionality analysis of output current at different simulated skin resistances." "The performance characteristics of the new device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices and typical of these systems in general. The results of testing for functionality... demonstrate that the device is safe and effective and meets the requirements of safety for these types of devices."
Software Integrity: Internal software functions correctly."Internal checking of software." "The results of testing for... internal checking of software... demonstrate that the device is safe and effective and meets the requirements of safety for these types of devices."
Safety: Compliance with relevant medical device safety standards."Safety testing performed according to EN60601 series, IEC 601-2-10 and standards set forth in Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC)." "The results of testing for... safety testing performed in accordance with EN60601 series, IEC 601-2-10 and standards set forth in Medical Device Directive (93/42/ECC) demonstrate that the device is safe and effective and meets the requirements of safety for these types of devices." Further details on specific performance metrics (e.g., current output ranges, pulse widths, maximum voltages) are provided in the comparison table to predicate devices, implying these are met by the TOF-Watch® as well for substantial equivalence.
Substantial Equivalence: Performance is equivalent to predicate devices."The performance characteristics of the new device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices and typical of these systems in general... demonstrate that the device is safe and effective and meets the requirements of safety for these types of devices." This is the overarching "performance" conclusion driven by the nonclinical tests when compared to the TOF-Guard INMT and DigiSTIM 3 PLUS, particularly regarding features like intended use, output specifications (current, pulse width, voltage), and stimulation modes (TOF, PTC, Twitch, Tetanic, DBS). The comparative table (Section 1 and 6) implicitly functions as a set of comparative performance criteria for substantial equivalence, which the TOF-Watch® is stated to meet.

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

The document explicitly states that clinical tests were "Not Applicable" for this 510(k) submission. Therefore, there is no information provided about a "test set" in the context of clinical data. The testing was nonclinical (bench testing and software review).

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

As clinical tests were not performed and no human-reviewed test set was created, this information is not applicable. The ground truth for the nonclinical tests would be defined by engineering specifications and international safety standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Since no clinical test set requiring human review or expert consensus was used, an adjudication method is not applicable.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states "Not Applicable" for clinical tests. The evaluation was based on nonclinical testing and substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

The device itself, the TOF-Watch®, is a standalone device in its operational use for monitoring neuromuscular transmission. The evaluation described in the 510(k) summary is based on standalone nonclinical performance (functionality analysis, software checking, safety testing). There is no mention of an algorithm in the sense of AI or a software-only evaluation, but rather a holistic assessment of the physical device and its embedded software.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the nonclinical tests, the ground truth was based on:

  • Engineering Specifications: For functionality analysis of output current at different simulated skin resistances.
  • Software Requirements/Specifications: For internal checking of software.
  • International Safety Standards: EN60601 series, IEC 601-2-10, and Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) for safety testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Since there is no mention of AI or machine learning algorithms that would require a training set in the modern sense (e.g., for image classification or prediction), this concept is not applicable to this 1997 medical device submission. The "software" mentioned in the document refers to embedded control software rather than a learning algorithm.

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

As there was no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this information is not applicable.
