The SK Med Air Oxygen Mixer is intended for use with the infant and The SK Med An Oxygen Maxer in a hospital environment. Its indications for use are perilative population in a noops. I the Bird Low Flow Air Oxygen exactly the same as the predicate device i.e. the Bird Love Flow with exactly the same as the provide oxygen therapy in conjunction with:

Device Description

The Air Oxygen Mixer is a pneumatically controlled low flow ( up to 30 lpm maximum flow ) air oxygen mixing device.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the SK Med Air Oxygen Mixer, which is a pneumatically controlled low-flow air-oxygen mixing device. The submission is a 510(k) premarket notification. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in this context refer to the demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is the Bird Low Flow Air/Oxygen Microblender. The study described is a series of bench and environmental laboratory tests designed to show that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate.

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


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for a 510(k) submission are implicitly demonstrating that the new device is "as safe and effective" as the predicate device. For this device, this translates to:

AspectAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Predicate)Reported Device Performance
Oxygen Concentration ControlUses 2 pneumatic pressure regulators & mechanical mix valve to control oxygen concentration in the delivered gas mixture (same as Bird Low Flow Microblender).The Air Oxygen Mixer uses 2 pneumatic pressure regulators and a mechanical mix valve to control oxygen concentration, matching the predicate.
Low Gas Supply AlarmsActivates audio alarm if air and oxygen supply pressures differ by more than 20 PSIG (Bird Low Flow Microblender functionality, though with noted limitations).Uses two pressure switches to monitor air and oxygen supplies; activates appropriate audio-visual alarms with dedicated LED indicators for low air and low oxygen if supplies fall below threshold. Also monitors battery for low voltage.
Overall Safety & EffectivenessMust be as safe and effective as the Bird Low Flow Microblender.Extensive bench & environmental laboratory testing (including Hi/Lo Temperature, Humidity, Shock/Vibration) demonstrated the Air Oxygen Mixer is as safe and effective as the Bird Low Flow Microblender.

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical sample size. The testing involved "extensive bench & environmental laboratory testing." For a device like this, the "test set" would likely be exemplar units of the device itself undergoing various performance and stress tests, rather than a human subject or clinical data set.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted in a "bench & environmental laboratory." There is no mention of country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, though bench testing is inherently prospective for the device being tested.

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

  • This type of information is generally not applicable for a 510(k) submission based on bench testing of a device like an air oxygen mixer. Ground truth for device performance would be established through engineering specifications, regulatory standards, and comparison to the predicate device's known performance characteristics.
  • The "experts" would be the engineers and technicians conducting the testing, validating the device's output against established standards or the predicate's performance. Their qualifications are not specified but would be implicit in their roles within the development and testing team.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable in the context of clinical expert adjudication. For bench testing, adjudication would involve the engineers and quality control personnel reviewing test results against predefined specifications and predicate comparability data. There is no mention of a specific adjudication method like "2+1" for disagreement resolution.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for medical imaging devices or AI-driven diagnostic tools involving human interpretation of data. The SK Med Air Oxygen Mixer is a mechanical device, and its evaluation does not involve "human readers" or "AI assistance" in this clinical sense.

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

  • Not applicable. The device is a mechanical air-oxygen mixer, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is inherent in its physical and pneumatic operation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on engineering specifications, regulatory standards, and the established performance characteristics of the predicate device (Bird Low Flow Air/Oxygen Microblender). The primary goal was to show that the new device meets or exceeds these established benchmarks for safety and effectiveness.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. As a mechanical device whose performance is demonstrated through bench and environmental testing, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. Prototyping and iterative design might involve multiple units, but this is distinct from a "training set."

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the relevant context.

2. Device Name:

Air Oxygen Mixer

3. Predicate Device:

The Bird Low Flow Air/Oxygen Microblender is a predicate device that has been on the market since the early 1970's.

4. Description of the Device:

The Air Oxygen Mixer is a pneumatically controlled low flow ( up to 30 lpm maximum flow ) air oxygen mixing device.

5. Intended Use:

The Air Oxygen Machine has the same intended use as the predicate device i.e. the Bird Air Oxygen Microblender. It is used to provide respiratory care in conjunction with:

  • Oxygen Hoods
  • · Resuscitation Bags
  • Masks
  • Nasal Cannulas

{1}------------------------------------------------

6. Technology Characteristics:

Mixer: The Air Oxygen Mixer, like the Bird Low Flow Microblender, uses 2 pneumatic pressure regulators and a mechanical mix valve to control oxygen concentration in the delivered gas mixture.

Alarms: The Air Oxygen Mixer uses two pressure switches to monitor air and oxygen supplies. If either air or oxygen or both gas supplies fall below a specified threshold, appropriate audio-visual alarms are activated. There is a dedicated LED indicator for low air and low oxygen supply pressure resp. The LEDs are powered by a 9 Volt battery. The battery itself is monitored by a low voltage indicator LED.

The Bird Low Flow Microblender activates an audio alarm if the air and oxygen supply pressures differ by more than 20 PSIG. There is no indication of which gas supply is low. Moreover, if both supplies are low, there is no alarm at all.

Testing:

In order to verify Safety, Effectiveness (performance), and Environmental Characteristics (including Hi/Lo Temperature, Humidity, Shock/Vibration), the Air Oxygen Mixer was subjected to extensive bench & environmental laboratory testing. The results of the testing have demonstrated that the Air Oxygen Mixer is as safe and effective as the Bird Low Flow Microblender.
