The intended use of the Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump is to raise the temperature of the thoracic or peritoneal cavity to the desired target temperature by continuously lavaging the cavity with circulating warmed sterile solution, according to a protocol to be selected by the physician.

The Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump combines advanced microprocessor technology with an efficient mechanical system to provide a high speed, simple and safe system for rapid perfusion of warmed fluid. It can raise the temperature of the thoracic or peritoneal cavity to the desired target temperature by continuously lavaging the cavity with circulating warmed sterile solution, according to a protocol to be selected by the physician.

The system monitors fluid temperature, patient temperature, line pressure, and air in the fluid path to ensure safe operation and alarms at all unsafe conditions. A hardware override circuit prevents unsafe operation in case of system computer failure. A touch screen displays flow rate, total fluid pumped, output fluid temperature, target temperature, patient temperature, line pressure, alarm and status messages and proper procedures to proceed safely after an alarm situation.

A battery backup allows for mobile transport of the patient and system. During battery operation, fluid warming is disabled while pump operation and safety monitoring remain active.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump are derived from its functional specifications and safety requirements. The document describes nonclinical tests performed to verify these aspects.

Study Demonstrating Acceptance Criteria:

The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is a series of nonclinical verification and validation tests. These tests were carried out to ensure that the updated hardware (chip replacement) and software, along with a brighter monochromatic display, maintained or improved performance and safety compared to the predicate device.

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

The document describes nonclinical laboratory testing of the device itself.

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" in the context of patient data. For medical devices undergoing nonclinical testing, the "test set" would refer to the number of devices or test conditions used. This information is not explicitly quantified (e.g., "tested 5 devices across X conditions").
• Data Provenance: The tests are nonclinical, conducted as part of the device manufacturer's verification and validation process. Therefore, data provenance is internal laboratory testing. It is not patient data from a specific country, nor is it retrospective or prospective in the clinical trial sense.

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

Not applicable. The ground truth for device performance in nonclinical testing is established by engineering specifications, regulatory standards, and objective measurements using calibrated instruments. It does not involve expert human interpretation in the way that image analysis algorithms require ground truth from clinicians.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As this is nonclinical device performance testing, adjudication methods typically used for human interpretation or clinical trials (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are not relevant. Performance is measured against predefined engineering specifications and safety standards.

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

No. An MRMC study is a type of clinical study typically used for diagnostic devices, especially those involving human interpretation (e.g., radiologists reading images) to assess the impact of an AI algorithm on reader performance. This documentation pertains to a hyperthermia pump, a therapeutic device, and its nonclinical performance, so an MRMC study is not relevant here.

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

Not applicable. The Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump is a physical medical device with integrated software and hardware for controlling fluid warming and flow. It is not an "algorithm" in the sense of a standalone diagnostic or predictive model. Its performance is measured as a completely integrated system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the nonclinical tests is based on:

• Engineering Specifications: Predefined performance parameters for flow rate, temperature accuracy, alarm thresholds, etc.
• Regulatory Standards: Compliance with industry standards like "Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance" and "Medical Electrical Equipment - Electromagnetic Compatibility."
• Objective Measurement: Using calibrated instruments to measure flow rates, temperatures, pressures, and verify alarm functions.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" of data. The device's operation is based on deterministic control logic and fixed algorithms programmed into its microprocessor, developed through engineering design rather than data-driven machine learning.

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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

• Infusion of crystalloid, colloid, or blood product, including packed red blood cells, as volume replacement for patients suffering from blood loss due to trauma or surgery.
• Infusion of warmed fluid to rewarm patients after surgery or for hypothermia.
• Infusion of warmed fluid for irrigation in urology procedures.

The Belmont® Rapid Infuser, RI2, (same as the existing Rapid Infuser) combines advanced microprocessor technology with an efficient mechanical system to provide a high speed, simple and safe system for rapid infusion of warmed fluid. . The Rapid Infuser infuses blood, replacement IV fluids or irrigation fluids warmed to physiologic temperature at user-set rates from 10 to 1000 milliliters per minute (ml/min). A low infusion rate at 2.5 ml/min (150 ml/hr) is also available without heating. The system monitors temperature, line pressure, and air in the fluid path to ensure safe operation and alarms at all unsafe conditions. A hardware override circuit prevents unsafe operation in case of system computer failure. A touch screen displays flow rate, total fluid infused, temperature, line pressure, alarm and status messages and proper procedures to proceed safely after an alarm situation. A battery backup allows for mobile transport of the patient and system. During battery operation, fluid warming is disabled while pump operation and safety monitoring remain active.

This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the Belmont® Rapid Infuser, RI2. It is a submission for substantial equivalence to an existing device, not a new device. Therefore, the information provided focuses on demonstrating that the modified device performs as well as the predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the provided text based on your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a quantitative manner as might be expected for an AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) submission. Instead, it details a series of non-clinical tests performed to verify that the modified device (RI2) meets the specifications of the predicate device. The performance is described qualitatively as "performed within specifications."

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of how many devices were tested or how many data points were collected during each test. It refers to testing the system "over the full range of flow rate and operating conditions."
• Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of device performance testing. The tests are for device functional performance, not clinical data analysis. The testing appears to have been conducted by the manufacturer, Belmont Instrument Corporation.

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

Not applicable. This is a hardware and software performance verification, not a diagnostic or AI-driven medical imaging device that requires expert ground truth for interpretation. The "ground truth" here is the defined functional specifications of the device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There is no ambiguous data requiring adjudication for this type of device performance testing. The tests are objective and based on whether the device operates according to its specifications.

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 device is an infusion pump, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic device, and it does not involve human "readers" or AI assistance in the interpretation of medical data. The submission is for hardware and software updates to an existing infusion pump, not a new AI-powered diagnostic tool.

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

A form of standalone testing was done for the device's systems, particularly its software. The document states:

• "We generated a software life cycle in according to the IEC 62304."
• "We validated each algorithm for each function element in the software specification using an approved procedure."
• "We also performed extensive testing for the entire system with software in place to test both the hardware and software functions to ensure that all system requirements are met."

This indicates that the software was thoroughly tested in isolation (algorithms) and within the full system, without human intervention in the primary operational functions it controls.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its predefined engineering and performance specifications. For example, the criteria for "pumping fluids accurately" means the output flow rate must fall within a specified tolerance of the targeted flow rate under given conditions. "Warming cold fluids to physiological temperature" means achieving a specific temperature range. These are objective, measurable performance targets.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "software life cycle" and "algorithm validation" mentioned refer to traditional software development and testing, not AI model training.

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

Not applicable, as there is no AI training set. The ground truth for the software and hardware validation is based on the documented design specifications and engineering requirements of the device.

Ask a specific question about this device

buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer intended use is for warming blood, blood products and intravenous solution prior to administration. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in clinical environments to prevent hypothermia.

The Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is a portable in-line blood and fluid warmer. It consists of three components, a heater unit, a power module which powers the heater unit and displays alarm and status messages, and a single-use disposable heat exchanger set. The power module also contains a built-in battery pack which automatically switches over to the battery operation when the AC power is disconnected. When the power is restored, the system reverts to AC power automatically, the battery charger is activated, and the battery is charged. The heating technology used is resistive heating of two plates within the heater unit. The buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer warms intra-venous fluids, including blood and blood products, to physiological temperature, and monitors fluid temperature. It also senses lack of IV fluid flow, or empty set, and a number of internal fault conditions including over-heating, loss of electrical connection to the heater, and failure to heat. The device stops heating and alarms if an alarm or fault condition occurs. The system provides the user with alarm, alarm message, temperature, and other operating information via a bright alphanumeric display. The sterile disposable set is placed in-line between a standard IV line at its input and a user-supplied cannula or IV infusion set at its output. The input can come from a gravity fed IV line with roller clamp and drip chamber, external to the device and not supplied by Belmont Instrument Corp. The device is intended for low applications where the flow rate is 6 liter/hour (100 ml/min) or less.

The Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is a nonelectromagnetic blood or fluid warming device intended for warming blood, blood products, and intravenous solutions to physiological temperature prior to administration.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set

• Sample Size: The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the "nonclinical tests." It only states that "the following tests were carried out."
• Data Provenance: Not specified, but the testing was conducted by Belmont Instrument Corporation, presumably in-house or through a contracted laboratory to demonstrate performance. The testing is implied to be prospective, as it was done to "verify performance" for K062774.

3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth of Test Set

This type of information is not applicable to this device. The Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is a medical device for warming fluids, and its performance and safety are typically evaluated through engineering and functional tests against established physical and safety criteria, rather than through expert consensus on qualitative assessments or diagnostic interpretation. Therefore, there are no "experts" establishing a "ground truth" in the diagnostic sense.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable for this type of device testing. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies involving human interpretation (e.g., image analysis) where ambiguous cases require expert resolution. The nonclinical tests described for the fluid warmer are objective, measurable performance criteria.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices that involve human interpretation and aims to assess the impact of AI assistance on human performance. The Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is a therapeutic/supportive care device, not a diagnostic one involving human readers.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

Yes, a standalone study was performed in the sense that the device's technical specifications and functional capabilities were tested independently to verify its performance against design requirements. The "nonclinical tests" fall under this category, evaluating the device's ability to warm fluids and its safety features directly.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by objective engineering specifications and safety standards. For example:

• Physiological temperature: This is a defined temperature range (e.g., 37°C ± a certain tolerance). The device's ability to achieve and maintain this temperature is measured directly.
• Alarm conditions: These are defined fault conditions, and the "ground truth" is whether the device accurately detects them and triggers the appropriate alarm.

buddy™ Fluid Warmer intended use is for warming blood, blood products and intravenous solution prior to administration. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in clinical environments to prevent hypothermia.

The Belmont buddy™ Fluid Warmer is a portable in-line blood and fluid warmer. It consists of three components, a heater unit, a power module and a disposable set. The power module powers the heater unit and displays alarm and status messages, and a disposable set which is placed in the heater unit and through which the fluid flows. The heating technology used is resistive heating of two plates within the heater unit. The buddy™ Fluid Warmer warms intra-venous fluids, including blood and blood products, to physiological temperature, and monitors fluid temperature. It also senses lack of flow, or empty set, and a number of internal fault conditions such as electrical connection to the heater, and failure to heat. The device stops heating and alarms if an alarm or fault condition occurs. The device provides the user with alarm, alarm message, temperature, and other operating information via a bright alphanumeric display. The sterile disposable set is placed in-line between a standard IV line at its input and a standard IV infusion set at its output. The input can come from a bag or supplied via a standard clamp and drip chamber, external to the device and not supplied by Belmont Instrument Corp. The device is intended for low flow applications where the flow rate is 6 liter/hour (100 ml/min) or less. This premarket application describes a modification to the disposable set.

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Belmont buddy™ Fluid Warmer. It describes modifications to an existing device and claims substantial equivalence to its predicate device. However, it does not contain detailed acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, or a formal study design that would allow for a comprehensive table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.

The document states that "In order to verify performance of the Belmont buddy™ Fluid Warmer in support of substantial equivalence, the following tests were carried out: a. Verify the ability of the system to warm cold fluids to physiological temperature. b. Verify the ability of the system to protect the patient and to detect and alarm at unsafe or ineffective operating conditions." It concludes that "Both systems perform as intended according to the specifications of the device." However, it does not explicitly list these specifications or the quantitative results of the verification tests.

Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance with numerical values, nor can I answer many of the specific questions about sample size, ground truth, or MRMC studies, as this information is not present in the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred or directly stated from the document, and where information is missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

• Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing goals):
  • Ability to warm cold fluids to physiological temperature.
  • Ability to protect the patient and to detect and alarm at unsafe or ineffective operating conditions.
• Reported Device Performance:
  • The document states that the device "performs as intended according to the specifications of the device" and is "capable of heating blood products or intravenous fluids to physiological temperature." No specific numerical performance values (e.g., target temperature range, alarm thresholds, accuracy) are provided in this summary.

2. Sample size(s) used for the test set and the data provenance

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified.
• Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The tests were carried out by the manufacturer to verify performance.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

• Number of Experts: Not applicable. The "ground truth" here would be the device's ability to meet its engineering and functional specifications, which would be assessed through objective testing and measurement, not expert interpretation of outputs in the clinical sense.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

• Adjudication Method: Not applicable. Performance was verified against device specifications and functional requirements through testing, not through expert adjudication of an output or diagnosis.

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

• MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a fluid warmer, not a diagnostic AI system that would assist human readers in interpreting data.

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

• Standalone Performance Study: Yes, in a sense. The described "verification tests" would evaluate the device's ability to perform its warming and safety functions independently, without a human "in-the-loop" influencing its core operational performance. However, this is not an "algorithm-only" performance in the context of AI, but rather a functional device performance.

7. The type of ground truth used

• Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be engineering specifications and functional requirements related to temperature regulation, alarm conditions, and fluid flow detection, verified through objective measurements and testing. This is not "expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data" in the typical medical imaging/AI context.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This device is a hardware fluid warmer with embedded controls, not a machine learning or AI system that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. Its "training" would be its design, calibration, and manufacturing processes.

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

• How Ground Truth for Training Set Established: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device. The specifications and functional requirements are established through engineering design, regulatory standards, and intended use.
