The BPM-300 is an automated, non-invasive blood pressure and temperature monitor that measures the blood pressure and pulse rate of patients using an upper arm cuff and the oral, axillary and rectal temperature using thermometry probes. The device uses standard blood pressure cuffs normally used in auscultation to measure the blood pressure in the upper arm. The device also uses stainless steel temperature probes, which are similar to design to commercially available probes from YSI, to measure the temperature from the oral, axillary and rectal regions.

The BPM-300 has two blood pressure operational modes: Manual and Automatic, which are used with the oscillometric technique to calculate systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Manual Mode is designed to take a single blood pressure measurement. Automatic Mode takes six measurements, discards the first, and displays the average of the last five readings. The cycle time, or minutes between measurements (from the start of one measurement to the start of the next measurement), can be selected in Automatic Mode. Readings can be reviewed in both Manual and Automatic Modes.

The BPM-300 includes two temperature measurement modes: Predictive and Continuous. Continuous Mode is designed to be used for taking extended length, monitoring measurements from the oral, axillary or rectal regions of the body. Predictive Mode is designed to calculate a single, quick (15 second) and accurate temperature measurement from either the oral or axillary region. There are two different color-coded temperature probes available for the BPM-300: oral/axillary (blue probe) and rectal (red probe). These temperature probes, which are manufactured for VSM by Yellow Springs Inc., also include the additional safety of a disposable probe cover, manufactured for VSM by Banta Healthcare.

The BPM-300 incorporates a battery, which allows for portable operation, a polemounting feature and computer/interface connectivity feature, through a USB port.

The provided 510(k) summary (K023078) for the BpTRU Vital Signs Monitor (Model BPM-300) indicates that the device was tested against recognized standards for both blood pressure and temperature measurement. However, the document lacks detailed acceptance criteria and the comprehensive study information requested in the prompt.

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

• Blood Pressure: The document states "The blood pressure feature of the BPM-300 was tested and meets the requirements of AAMI/ANSI SP10: 1992". While AAMI/ANSI SP10 specifies minimum sample sizes (e.g., typically at least 85 subjects for validation), the exact sample size used in the test set is not explicitly stated in the provided text.
• Continuous Temperature: The document states "The continuous temperature feature of the BPM-300 was tested and meets the requirements of ASTM E1112-00". ASTM E1112-00 has specific testing protocols, but the exact sample size used and data provenance are not reported. This standard is for the device itself, likely involving laboratory testing more than clinical patient data.
• Predictive Temperature: "The predictive temperature feature of the BPM-300 was tested in a clinical validation study." The sample size for this clinical study is not reported. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified.

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

• Blood Pressure: For AAMI/ANSI SP10 testing, ground truth typically involves a reference method performed by trained observers (e.g., auscultatory method by two trained observers). The number and qualifications of experts are not specified in the provided text.
• Continuous Temperature: For ASTM E1112-00, the "ground truth" would be established by a primary reference thermometer instrument or known temperature baths in a lab setting, not typically by human experts.
• Predictive Temperature: The ground truth was "continuous temperature." This would likely involve the device's own continuous temperature measurement mode or another validated continuous temperature monitoring device. The use of human experts to establish this ground truth is not applicable in this context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Blood Pressure: For AAMI/ANSI SP10, if human observers were part of the reference method, an adjudication method (e.g., averaging two observers' readings or a third adjudicator if there's a discrepancy) would be standard. However, the specific adjudication method is not mentioned in the document.
• Temperature: Adjudication by human experts is not applicable for temperature measurement studies described here.

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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed or reported. This type of study is more common for diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret images with and without AI assistance to assess changes in diagnostic accuracy.

6. Standalone Performance

Yes, standalone performance was assessed for both blood pressure and temperature functions.

• The blood pressure feature "was tested and meets the requirements of AAMI/ANSI SP10: 1992". This refers to the algorithm/device performance directly compared to a reference standard, without human intervention in the measurement process itself beyond initiating it.
• The continuous temperature feature "was tested and meets the requirements of ASTM E1112-00". This is a direct assessment of the device's accuracy.
• The predictive temperature feature "was tested in a clinical validation study and the results demonstrate that the predictive measurements are accurate as compared to the continuous temperature". This describes the standalone performance of the predictive algorithm against a reference (continuous temperature).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• Blood Pressure: Ground truth was based on the requirements of AAMI/ANSI SP10: 1992. This standard typically involves comparison to a reference sphygmomanometer reading, often obtained through the auscultatory method (manual stethoscope and cuff) by trained observers.
• Continuous Temperature: Ground truth was based on the requirements of ASTM E1112-00. This standard typically relies on calibrated temperature probes or reference thermometers in a controlled environment.
• Predictive Temperature: Ground truth was the device's "continuous temperature" measurement, implying a comparison of the rapid predictive reading to a several-minute continuous reading from the same device or a similar validated continuous temperature monitor.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide any information about a training set or its sample size. This suggests that the device's underlying algorithms (oscillometric for BP, thermistor for temperature prediction) may be based on established physical principles and prior development, rather than a specific machine learning model that requires a distinct "training set" in the modern sense. If there was an internal algorithm for predictive temperature, the data used to develop that algorithm is not discussed.

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

Since no training set is mentioned, information on how its ground truth was established is not available.

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the BpTRU™ Portable Automated Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor (Model BPM-200):

Unfortunately, the provided document does not contain the specific acceptance criteria or details of a study proving the device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary and approval letter, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific performance studies with acceptance criteria.

However, based on the context of a non-invasive blood pressure monitor and typical regulatory requirements, we can infer what would likely be required for such a device, and what information is explicitly missing from this document.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information, highlighting what can be extracted and what information is absent:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Sample Size: Not specified. The document does not mention any specific clinical study sample sizes for testing the BPM-200's primary performance.
• Data Provenance: Not specified. There is no mention of the country of origin of any data, nor is it stated whether any study was retrospective or prospective.

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

• Number of Experts: Not specified.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Adjudication Method: Not specified.

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

• MRMC Study: No. This type of study is typically relevant for interpretative devices (e.g., imaging AI) where human readers are part of the diagnostic process. A standalone blood pressure monitor like the BpTRU BPM-200 does not involve human interpretation in the same way, so an MRMC study would not be applicable or expected for its primary performance evaluation.

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

• Standalone Performance Study: Implicitly, yes, for a device of this type. For a medical device like an automated blood pressure monitor, the primary performance evaluation is a standalone assessment of its accuracy and reliability against a reference standard. However, the details of such a study (sample size, methodology, results) are not provided in this document. The summary states it uses the "oscillometric technique to calculate systolic and diastolic blood pressure," which is the algorithm it uses.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Type of Ground Truth: Not specified. For a blood pressure monitor, the ground truth would typically be established by a reference standard, often:
  • Simultaneous auscultation by trained observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer (following a standard protocol like AAMI or BHS).
  • Invasive arterial pressure monitoring (though less common for routine NIBP validation due to invasiveness).
    The document does not detail which method, if any, was used.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable/Not specified. Automated oscillometric blood pressure monitors typically rely on established algorithms and mathematical models based on extensive physiological and engineering research over decades, rather than a "training set" in the context of modern machine learning. While the development of the algorithm itself might have involved data, there isn't a "training set" in the sense of a dataset used to train a neural network for a specific task.

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

• Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable/Not specified. See point 8.

Summary of Document Contents Regarding Performance Information:

The provided 510(k) summary is primarily concerned with demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (BpTRU™ Automated Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor Model BPM-100). The modifications described (battery operation, USB connectivity, pole/self-standing operation) are largely related to form factor and connectivity, not the core blood pressure measurement algorithm itself.

The document claims the device "uses the oscillometric technique to calculate systolic and diastolic blood pressure," implying that the underlying measurement technology is similar or identical to the cleared predicate devices. Therefore, the FDA's approval for this device (K023055) is based on the premise that its performance characteristics are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared devices (K994423, K002046, K012636), for which relevant performance data would have been submitted at the time of their clearance. This current document does not re-iterate or provide new clinical performance data for the BPM-200 specifically.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. To answer your questions, I would need access to the actual 510(k) submission summary or detailed study reports for the BPM-100 device.

Ask a specific question about this device

The Intromit is inserted into the patient's abdomen to provide abdominal access for the surgeon's hand while preserving the peritoneum during laparoscopic surgery.

Intromit™ will be sold as a kit that includes a flexible access tube, medical grade adhesive, sterile lubricant and incise template. The access tube consists primarily of an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and an adhesive coated flange, which is welded to the distal end of the outer sleeve. The inner and outer sleeves are welded together. The principal components of the access tube are made of polymer film. Intromit™ is packaged into sterile double tyvek pouches and is labeled as a single-patient use device.

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, structured as requested:

Device Name: Intromit™ Hand Access Port for Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria with specific numerical thresholds for the clinical study. Instead, it frames the study results in terms of "equivalence" or "no more likely/higher/equivalent" compared to a control group or existing procedures.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

• Sample Size: Forty-four (44) patients were enrolled in the clinical study.
• Data Provenance: The text does not specify the country of origin. It describes a "clinical study," which implies it was prospective in nature, as patients were "enrolled" and their outcomes compared between two surgical approaches.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

• The document does not explicitly mention the number of experts used to establish ground truth or their specific qualifications. For a surgical device study like this, the "ground truth" would be established by the performing surgeons and other medical staff involved in the patient's care (e.g., assessing procedure time, complications, hospital stay). However, the document does not elaborate on an independent ground truth review panel.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• The document does not mention an explicit adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). For a clinical trial comparing surgical procedures, patient outcomes (such as procedure time, conversion to open surgery, morbidity, mortality) are typically recorded and analyzed according to predefined study protocols, rather than being subject to an "adjudication" process akin to image review by multiple experts.

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

• No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly described. The study compared surgical procedures (Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomies with Intromit™ vs. Standard Laparoscopic Colectomies with trocars), not the diagnostic performance of a device with and without AI assistance involving human readers.
• Therefore, there is no effect size reported on how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

• The Intromit™ is a physical surgical device, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, no standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done. The performance described is of the device as used by a surgeon.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• The ground truth for this device's efficacy and safety was based on clinical outcomes data from a comparative study of surgical procedures. This includes metrics like procedure time, rates of conversion to open surgery, instrument changes, mortality, morbidity, direct hospital costs, and hospital stay duration.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• The concept of a "training set" is typically associated with machine learning or AI models. Since the Intromit™ is a physical surgical device, there is no training set in this context. The clinical study of 44 patients serves as the primary performance evaluation.

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

• As there is no training set for a physical surgical device, this point is not applicable. The clinical outcomes mentioned above served as the basis for evaluating the device's performance in the clinical study.
