Intended Use

The ODYSSEY Instrumentation System is intended for use by hemodialysis professionals to measure the conductivity, temperature, pH, and pressure of the dialysate solution associated with hemodialysis delivery systems. Water purification specialists may also use the ODYSSEY Instrumentation System to verify proper characteristics of the water used in hemodialysis. These parameters are key indicators of system performance that require periodic monitoring and adjusting to maintain safe and effective hemodialysis systems.

Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided documents (K981294) are a 510(k) clearance letter and an Indications for Use statement for the "ODYSSEY Instrumentation System." This system is intended for measuring physical parameters of dialysate solution (conductivity, temperature, pH, and pressure) and water for hemodialysis. It is not a device that processes or analyzes medical images, clinical data, or makes diagnostic/AI predictions.

Therefore, the concepts of "acceptance criteria," "study," "sample size," "ground truth," "experts," "adjudication method," "MRMC study," and "standalone performance" do not apply in the context of this device. These terms are relevant for evaluating devices that generate or interpret clinical information, especially those incorporating AI or complex algorithms for diagnosis or prediction.

The ODYSSEY Instrumentation System is a measurement device. Its "performance" would typically be established through metrology studies, calibration, and validation against known standards to ensure accuracy, precision, and reliability of its measurements (conductivity, temperature, pH, pressure). The "acceptance criteria" for such a device would relate to the maximum permissible error, stability, response time, and other metrological specifications in comparison to established industry standards or a predicate device.

To provide an answer in the requested format, but acknowledging the mismatch in the nature of the device and the questions, I will state that the information requested is not applicable given this device's function.


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

  • Not Applicable. The provided documents do not contain acceptance criteria or reported device performance data in the context of a clinical study for diagnostic accuracy or algorithmic performance. As a measurement instrumentation system, its performance would be defined by metrological specifications (e.g., accuracy, precision, linearity for conductivity, temperature, pH, and pressure), which are not detailed in these regulatory documents.

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

  • Not Applicable. This device is a physical measurement system, not one that processes clinical data or involves a "test set" in the sense of clinical samples or imaging data for diagnostic evaluation.

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)

  • Not Applicable. The device measures physical parameters. "Ground truth" for such a device would be established through calibrated standards and reference methods, not by expert consensus on clinical data.

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

  • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for establishing ground truth in clinical or image-based studies where human interpretation is involved. This device does not generate such data.

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

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, nor does it involve human readers interpreting clinical cases.

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

  • Not Applicable. There is no "algorithm only" performance or human-in-the-loop component in the diagnostic sense for this device. It is a measurement instrument.

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

  • Not Applicable. For a measurement instrument, "ground truth" would refer to NIST-traceable standards, certified reference materials, or highly accurate reference measurement systems for conductivity, temperature, pH, and pressure. These details are not provided in the submitted documents.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. This type of device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

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

  • Not Applicable. As above, no training set is relevant for this device.

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
