2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Bench Tests: The specific number of devices tested on simulators was "Three devices." The data provenance for the simulators is that they are "commercially available." There is no explicit mention of data origin (e.g., country) or whether these were retrospective or prospective tests, but simulator tests are inherently prospective.
  • Clinical Tests (Oximetry): Not explicitly stated, but implies a cohort of subjects undergoing deep desaturation at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee. This would be prospective data.
  • Clinical Tests (Respiration): "Thirty volunteers were tested." The test was conducted at BCI. This would be prospective data.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth in the clinical tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It appears that comparisons were made directly to established reference devices or simulator settings.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The studies focused on the performance of the device against reference standards/devices, not on human readers' improvement with AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • Bench Tests: These tests can be considered standalone performance in that the device's readings are compared directly to simulator settings, without human interpretation for the measurement output itself.
  • Clinical Tests: While human volunteers were involved, the performance evaluation compares the device's measurements directly to reference devices (co-oximeter, capnograph), indicating a standalone performance assessment of the device's measurement capabilities.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Bench Tests: Ground truth was established by simulator settings.
  • Clinical Tests (Oximetry): Ground truth was established by a reference co-oximeter (OSM-3).
  • Clinical Tests (Respiration): Ground truth was established by a reference capnograph (BCI 9004 Capnograph).
  • ECG Performance Standards: Ground truth was established by compliance with the ANSI/AAMI EC13-1992 standard.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. The device described is a monitor utilizing existing technology, and the testing focuses on its performance verification rather than the development of a trained algorithm. Therefore, the concept of a training set as typically understood in AI/ML contexts does not apply here.

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

As there is no mention of a training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this question is not applicable. The device's underlying technology uses established principles of ECG and oximetry, not a learnable model requiring a specific training dataset from the manufacturer for its core function.

Performance Data:

The design of this device utilizes currently available technology found in many legally marketed devices. Testing was done to ensure that it would perform within the environment(s) for which it is to be marketed. The testing was performed in accordance with the guidelines found in the reviewers guide for respiratory devices and with international safety standards. This testing included EMC, electrical, mechanical durability, safety (operator and patient), and temperature/humidity. The results of the testing demonstrated that the device was in compliance with the guidelines and standards referenced in the reviewers guide and that it performed within its specifications and functional requirements.

Performance testing of the 3404 Monitor and its components were seperated into three types of testing. Bench tests using simulators were used to test each parameter. Clinical tests using volunteers were used to verify performance for respiration and oximetry. A performance standard was used for ECG (ANSI/AAMI EC13).

Bench Tests:

Three devices were tested on simulators to determine performance over the specified range. All of the simulators are commercially available. The device reading is compared to the simulator setting.

ParameterRangeMean ErrorStandard Deviation
ECG Ratesbeats per minute30 to 25400
Tested 3 lead and 5 lead modes vs all leads at multiple amplitude settings spec ±2 bpm or ±2% (greater of)
Oximetry% SpO250 to 100%0.250.45
OximetryPulse rate (bpm)30 to 2501.180.90
spec oximetery ±2% SpO2 (min), rate ±2 bpm or ±2% (greater of)
Repirationbreaths per minute4 to 15000
spec breath rate ±1 bpm or ±5% (greater of)

As the tables show the 3404 monitors very closely tracked the simulators. The maximum mean differences was 1.18 for SpO2 pulse rate, all other values were less than one.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Clinical Tests:

Clinical studies were done on oximetry and respiration

Oximetry:

A deep desaturation test was run on the 3404 oximeter at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee under an approved IRB. The oximeter values were compared to an OSM-3 co-oximeter. Over the SpO2 range of 70% - 100% the standard deviation was 1.8 (spec = +/- 2). Over the SpO2 range of 50% - < 70% the standard deviation was 2.4 (spec = +/- 3). R squared = 0.97 (measure of how true the regression line is, one being perfect).

Respiration:

The repiration values were collected from the 3404 and a BCI 9004 Capnograph (K970209) ( a CO2 gas monitor). The test was conducted at BCI. Thirty volunteers were tested. Three readings were recorded from each subject; at rest, right after heavy exercise (bike) and after a cool down period. The minimum breath rate was 7 bpm and the maximum was 31 bpm. The mean difference between the 9004 and the 3404 readings was 0.63 with a standard deviation of 0.80. The accuracy specification of the 3404 respiration is ±2 bpm or ±2%, whichever is greater. The 3404 agreed very closely with the 9004 respiration rate.

Performance Standards:

One performance standard was used. The ECG standard is ANSVAAMI EC13-1992 standard (American National Standard for Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters and alarms).

ECG

The 3404 was tested to the requirements of AAMI EC13-1992. These requirements included reviews or tests for labeling, operating conditions, overload protection (includes defib tests), risk current (leakage), auxiliary output, respiration, leads-off sensing, active noise suppression, ORS detection, range & accuracy of heart rate meter, alarm system and ECG display capability requirements (including pacemaker). The 3404 met all of the applicable requirements.

The 3404 passed all the tests.

On the basis of these results and the above-referenced testing it is our determination that the device is safe, effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device(s).

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

Respectfully.
