    The device can be used in connection with a smart phone via Bluetooth or with a personal computer (PC) via USB. The measurement data can be transferred to a smart phone running the Microlife Connected Health+ mobile software (App) or a PC running the Microlife BP Analyzer+ (BPA+) software.

    Device Description

    Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3KV1-5K is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of an individual with arm circumference sizes ranging from 17-52 cm by using a noninvasive technique in which one inflatable cuff is wrapped around the single upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but using a semiconductor sensor rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensor converts tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals to define the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".

    The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and the symbol " " is displayed with the reading. The device can be used in connection with smart mobile devices running the APP and via Bluetooth.

    The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device use by adults on the upper arm at home.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a blood pressure monitor, not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, the information typically requested regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI models, and clinician performance with/without AI assistance cannot be extracted from this document, as it is not applicable.

    The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3KV1-5K, to predicate devices. The acceptance criteria in this context refer to engineering and clinical performance standards for blood pressure monitors as defined by various international standards (e.g., AAMI/ANSI/IEC 80601-2-30 for non-invasive sphygmomanometers), rather than performance metrics for an AI algorithm.

    Below, I'll structure the answer to address the prompt's points based on the information available in the document for a traditional medical device, noting where AI-specific information is not present.


    Device: Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3KV1-5K

    This device is a traditional non-invasive blood pressure monitor that uses an oscillometric technique. It does not employ artificial intelligence or machine learning for its core blood pressure measurement function. Therefore, many of the questions asked, which are relevant to AI/ML powered devices, are not applicable here.

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

    The document states that the device was tested to meet relevant national and international standards for electrical, mechanical, environmental performance, and basic safety and essential performance of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers. While specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., mean difference and standard deviation per ISO 81060-2) are not provided in this summary, the document asserts that the device met all relevant requirements.

    Table: General Acceptance Criteria and Stated Performance (Based on Document)

    Criteria CategoryApplicable Standards / RequirementsReported Device Performance
    Basic Safety & Essential PerformanceIEC 60601-1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R) 2012 And A1:2012, C1:2009/(R) 2012 And A2:2010/(R) 2012)"Met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests."
    Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)IEC 60601-1-2:2014: Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances - Requirements And Tests."Tested and confirmed according to IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Test Report."
    Risk ManagementISO 14971: 2007: Medical devices Application of risk management of medical devices.Implicitly met, as part of device development and testing.
    BiocompatibilityAAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-1:2009/(R)2013: Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation And Testing Within A Risk Management Process. AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5:2009/(R)2014: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity. AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-10:2010/(R)2014: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization.Implicitly met, as part of device development and testing.
    Specific Performance for Automated NIBPAAMI/ANSI/IEC 80601-2-30: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-30: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers. 2018. The document mentions clinical validation based on ANSI/AAMI/ISO81060-2 standard for predicate devices."Subject device and the predicate device both meet the relevant performance specification requirements and have equivalent essential performance" (despite sensor difference). Clinical validation of predicate devices (K172498, K153450) applicable, meaning the device's accuracy is expected to meet the requirements of ISO 81060-2 (though specific performance values are not given in this summary).
    Home Healthcare EnvironmentIEC 60601-1-11:2015: Requirements For Medical Electrical Equipment And Medical Electrical Systems Used In The Home Healthcare Environment."Tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests."
    Software ValidationFDA November 2005 document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (Moderate level of concern)."Software validation was conducted in accordance with a moderate level of concern designation."

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

    The document states that repeated clinical testing for the subject device (BP3KV1-5K) was not necessary. Instead, the clinical validation of the predicate devices (BP3MW1-4Y and BP3MS1-4A), performed according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO81060-2, was deemed applicable.

    Therefore, the specific sample size for a test set for the subject device's core BP measurement accuracy is not mentioned as a new study was not performed. The data provenance would be from the original clinical validation studies performed for the predicate devices. The document does not specify country of origin or whether these prior studies were retrospective or prospective.

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

    This question is not applicable to this device, as it is not an AI/ML device requiring expert consensus for ground truth or interpretation. The "ground truth" for blood pressure measurement devices is typically a reference measurement method (e.g., auscultatory method by trained observers) used during clinical validation studies (like those following ISO 81060-2). The document does not provide details on the number or qualifications of experts involved in the predicate device's clinical validation.

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

    Not applicable, as this refers to adjudication for expert labeling/ground truth in AI/ML model validation, which is not relevant for this traditional blood pressure monitor.

    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 not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so an MRMC study comparing human performance with and without AI assistance was not performed.

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

    This refers to the performance of an AI algorithm intrinsically. For this traditional blood pressure monitor, the "algorithm" is the oscillometric measurement technique. Its performance is evaluated through clinical validation against a reference method (human observers using auscultation), which is essentially a standalone performance evaluation of the device's measurement accuracy. The document states that the clinical validation for the predicate devices is applicable and meets the ANSI/AAMI/ISO81060-2 standard.

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

    For traditional blood pressure monitors, the ground truth in clinical validation studies is typically established by simultaneous measurements using a recognized reference method, such as the auscultatory method performed by trained human observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer or validated electronic reference device. This is the standard approach for studies structured according to ISO 81060-2.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This device does not use an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."

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

    Not applicable, as there is no AI/ML training set for this device.

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

    The document states that a clinical study was conducted using the BP3KT1-3N (European Device) for validation. This study was a "prospective, open-label, non-randomized, single-center validation study." The study followed the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 test standard.

    While the exact sample size for the test set is not explicitly stated in the provided text, the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 standard typically requires a minimum of 85 subjects for validation of blood pressure devices (as referenced in the acceptance criteria regarding absolute differences).

    The data provenance is prospective, single-center, and from a European Device (BP3KT1-3N). The specific country is not mentioned beyond "European Device."

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

    The document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth. However, for a clinical validation study following the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 standard, the ground truth for blood pressure measurements is typically established by at least two trained observers (experts) using a mercury sphygmomanometer or an equivalent reference device, meticulously following standardized auscultatory procedures. These observers are usually trained and certified in blood pressure measurement techniques.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not explicitly state the adjudication method. In clinical validation studies conforming to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2 standard, when multiple observers are used for ground truth, a common adjudication method involves taking the average of the observers' readings, or in cases of significant discrepancy, a third observer might be used to mediate or resolve differences. The standard itself outlines specific requirements for how observer readings should be handled.

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

    No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. The provided information describes a clinical validation study for the device's accuracy against a reference standard, not a study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

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

    Yes, a standalone performance study was done for the blood pressure measurement component. The clinical study for the BP3KT1-3N device validated its accuracy according to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 standard. This standard assesses the device's ability to accurately measure blood pressure on its own, without direct human interpretation or modification of the measurement itself during the process (though a human activates the device and applies the cuff). The study concluded that "The Microlife device has passed the criteria of the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 test standard," which is a testament to its standalone measurement accuracy.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for the clinical validation study was auscultatory measurement (reference sphygmomanometry). This is implied by the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2019 standard which compares the automated device's readings against a series of auscultatory measurements by trained observers.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not specify the sample size used for the training set. The clinical study mentioned is a validation study, which typically involves a separate set of subjects from any training data used for algorithm development.

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

    The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established, as details about the training process and data are not included.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the studies mentioned for the Microlife WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) device, based on the provided document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for various performance metrics, except for the implication that the clinical tests were designed to show "substantial equivalence" and "high accuracy" for specific functions. Instead, it leverages the clinical validation of predicate devices for many functions, implying their established performance meets acceptance criteria. For the newly validated feature (baPWV), the performance is described qualitatively.

    FeatureAcceptance Criteria (Implied / Leveraged)Reported Device Performance
    Brachial BP MeasurementSubstantial equivalence to predicate device (K200297) per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 81060-2Identical to predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297). No repeated clinical testing required.
    AFIB DetectionSubstantial equivalence to predicate device (K200297)Identical to predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297). No repeated clinical testing required.
    Central BP (cSBP, cPP, cDBP)Validated against invasive BP measurement, high accuracy. Substantial equivalence to predicate device (K200297)Identical to predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297). Validated against invasive blood pressure measurement and showed high accuracy. No repeated clinical testing required.
    ABI AssessmentSubstantial equivalence to predicate device (K112845)Identical to predicate WatchBP Office ABI (TWIN200 ABI) (K112845). No repeated clinical testing required.
    Brachial-Ankle PWV (baPWV)Clinical feasibility, correlation to age, and comparison to reference cfPWV."feasible and observer-independent." "baPWV values differ from those by cfPWV, yet they are closely correlated." The device provides a numerical value for baPWV for blood flow inside the intended blood vessel.
    Pregnant Patients (incl. pre-eclampsia)Substantial equivalence to predicate device (K200297) per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 81060-2Identical to predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297). No repeated clinical testing required.
    Pediatrics (not neonates)Substantial equivalence to predicate device (K200297) per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 81060-2Identical to predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297). No repeated clinical testing required.

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

    • Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) Assessment:

      • Sample Size: 97 subjects
      • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin, but it is a "clinical investigation report" (VOL 010.002), implying a prospective study.
    • Other features (Brachial BP, AFIB, Central BP, ABI, Pregnant Patients, Pediatrics):

      • The document states that the performance of these features are "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices (K200297 and K112845), and thus no repeated clinical testing was required for the WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR). The sample sizes for the original predicate device studies are not provided in this document.

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

    • Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) Assessment:

      • The ground truth reference was "reference cfPWV (Complior device)." This is a device, not human experts, used as the gold standard. Therefore, the concept of "number of experts" and their qualifications for establishing ground truth isn't applicable in the traditional sense for this specific test.
    • Other features: The document does not provide details on the ground truth establishment for the predicate devices' clinical studies.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) Assessment: No explicit adjudication method is described. The comparison was automated baPWV vs. Complior device's cfPWV.
    • Other features: Not specified for the predicate device studies.

    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 MRMC study is mentioned. The device is an automatic digital blood pressure monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

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

    Yes, the device operates in a standalone manner. The measurements (systolic, diastolic, pulse rate, MAP, AFIB detection, cSBP, cPP, cDBP, ABI, baPWV) are determined by the device's algorithms without human intervention in the measurement process itself. The clinical validation of baPWV, for instance, compared the device's output to a reference device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) Assessment: The ground truth for baPWV was established by a reference device: cfPWV (Complior device). This is a form of device-based reference standard, often considered a clinical reference standard in this domain.
    • Central Blood Pressure (cSBP, cPP, cDBP): Stated to be "validated against invasive blood pressure measurement," which is a clinical reference standard/gold standard for blood pressure.
    • Other features (Brachial BP, AFIB, ABI, Pregnant Patients, Pediatrics): Not explicitly stated in this document for the predicate studies, but for blood pressure monitors, the typical ground truth involves auscultation by trained observers or invasive measurements by clinicians.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not provide information about a "training set" for an AI or machine learning model. The device's core oscillometric technology and algorithms are described as similar to or identical to existing predicate devices, implying a long history of algorithm development rather than a modern machine learning training approach with a distinct training set.

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

    As no training set is described for an AI/ML model, this information is not provided. The algorithms are based on established oscillometric principles and prior clinical validations of predicate devices.

    Intended Use

    The Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT) is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. The device is indicated for use by people of all ages in the home. The device can be used in connection with a smart phone running the «Microlife Connected Health +» APP. The memory data can be transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth.

    Device Description

    The Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT) is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor, which is composed of thermistor and thermopile, to measures infrared energy radiated from the forehead as well as objects. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The thermistor measures the ambient temperature of the sensor by changing the resistance. The function of thermopile is to measure the voltage difference between the temperature corresponding to the infrared radiation induction and the temperature difference measured by thermistor. Based on the voltage difference, difference temperature can be calculated, and the target temperature can be obtained by adding thermistor's temperature. The Microlife Non-Contact Infrared forehead thermometer, Model FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT), consists of the following parts: a) Thermopile Sensor b) Microcontroller Unit c) LCD and Backlight d) 4 buttons ("START" button, "ON/OFF" button, "M" button, "MODE" button) e) Alkaline batteries; size AAA, 2 x 1.5 V f) Lens g) Bluetooth module

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DG1 (NC200)) rather than describing an independent study of the device's acceptance criteria and proven performance.

    Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study design details (sample size, data provenance, expert numbers/qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and ground truth establishment for this specific device's test set (FR1MF1-B) is not explicitly present in the provided document.

    Instead, the document primarily leverages the equivalence to its predicate device (FR1DG1), whose clinical validation is referenced indirectly. The key argument is that because the core measurement technology and algorithm are the same as the predicate which has already undergone clinical testing, a new clinical test for the identical measurement algorithm in the subject device is not required.

    However, I can extract the following information that is available or implied:

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

    The document refers to the accuracy specifications shared between the subject device and the predicate device. These can be considered the performance criteria.

    Acceptance Criteria (Accuracy - Body mode/laboratory)Reported Device Performance (Same as predicate)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT) in a direct clinical test. The document states that a new clinical test is "not necessary" for this device because its measurement algorithm is identical to the predicate (FR1DG1).
    • Data Provenance: Not specified for a direct clinical test on FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT). The predicate device's clinical test report (Clinical Test Report of FR1DG1 NC200) is referenced but not detailed. It is implied that any relevant clinical data comes from the predicate's validation.

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

    • Not applicable/Not specified for this submission, as a new clinical test for FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT) was deemed unnecessary. This information would be found in the clinical test report for the predicate device (FR1DG1), which is not included here.

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

    • Not applicable/Not specified, as a new clinical test for FR1MF1-B (NC150 BT) was deemed unnecessary.

    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 a thermometer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging tool that would involve "human readers" or "AI assistance" in the context of MRMC studies.

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

    • The device itself is a standalone clinical electronic thermometer. Its performance is based on its measurement algorithm and hardware. The document implies that the "measurement algorithm" (which is the core of its standalone performance) for the subject device is "identical" to that of the predicate, which has been validated to standards like ASTM E1965-98 and ISO 80601-2-56. These standards typically involve rigorous standalone testing.

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

    • For clinical thermometers, the "ground truth" for temperature measurement is typically established using highly accurate reference thermometers or direct invasive methods (e.g., rectal or oral core temperature) in a controlled clinical setting, as specified by standards like ASTM E1965-98 and ISO 80601-2-56. The document mentions "Body mode/laboratory" accuracy, indicating the use of controlled laboratory conditions.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is a non-AI/ML device. There is no concept of a "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission for a clinical electronic thermometer.

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

    • Not applicable (see point 8).

    Summary of Device Performance Study (as implied for the predicate device, and by extension the subject device):

    The document references that the predicate device (Model FR1DG1 (NC200)) has been validated in accordance with ISO 80601-2-56 and ASTM E1965-98. These are international and US standards for clinical thermometers, which prescribe specific methodologies for clinical accuracy testing.

    • ASTM E1965-98 (Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature): This standard outlines clinical accuracy requirements and test methods for infrared thermometers, including specifics on how to conduct a clinical study to assess performance against a reference temperature. It defines statistical requirements for accuracy (e.g., mean difference, standard deviation) when compared to a reference temperature.
    • ISO 80601-2-56 (Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement): This international standard also details requirements for clinical accuracy validation of thermometers, including clinical study design, patient population, and statistical analysis.

    The "Clinical Test Report of FR1DG1 NC200" is cited as evidence for the predicate's validation, and thus, indirectly for the subject device's. While the details of that report are not present, it would contain the specific sample sizes, methods for ground truth establishment (likely using high-precision reference thermometers in a clinical setting), and other study parameters. The core argument for K211776's substantial equivalence is that the critical components (IC, sensor, measuring algorithm) affecting temperature measurement performance are identical to the already-cleared predicate.

    Intended Use

    The Wrist Watch Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3GK1-4B is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the wrist for a circumference range from 13.5 to 21.5cm. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement and gives a warning signal with the reading once the irregular heartbeat is detected.

    The device can be used in connection with a smart phone running the APP. The memory data can be transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth.

    Device Description

    Microlife Wrist Watch Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3GK1-4B is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an individual by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the wrist. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but uses a semiconductor sensor rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensor converts tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".

    The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement. In addition, the device can be used in connection with smart mobile devices running the APP and via Bluetooth.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text does not contain information about "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of performance metrics like accuracy for the subject device (Microlife Wrist Watch Blood Pressure Monitor Model BP3GK1-4B).

    Instead, it states that:

    • The subject device is considered "identical" to a predicate device (BP3NN1-3E, K151330) from a clinical validation standpoint for blood pressure measurement.
    • Therefore, "no repeated clinical testing was required for blood pressure measurement to support BP3GK1-4B as the subject device can leverage the clinical validation of BP3NN1-3E that was proven in K151330."

    To answer the request fully, the clinical validation study for the predicate device (BP3NN1-3E, K151330) would need to be reviewed. The provided document points to "AAMI / ANSI/IEC81060-2" as the standard for clinical validation, but it does not detail the specific results for the predicate or subject device against those criteria within this submission.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer all the sub-questions directly from the provided text for the subject device.

    However, I can extract the general accuracy criteria typically expected for such devices, as mentioned in the comparison table for Pressure and Pulse Rate Accuracy, which is shared between the subject device and Predicate device No.1.

    Here's what can be extracted based on the provided text's limited information regarding performance for the subject device, and an acknowledgement of assumptions made based on shared specifications with the predicate device:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on shared specifications with Predicate Device No.1, as a clinical study was not performed on the subject device due to substantial equivalence claim):

    There is no specific clinical study detailed for the subject device (BP3GK1-4B) in this document to prove it meets acceptance criteria, as the manufacturer claims substantial equivalence to a predicate device (BP3NN1-3E, K151330) and leverages its clinical validation. The acceptance criteria listed below are common performance specifications for such devices, and for this submission, the subject device is considered to meet these based on its substantial equivalence to the predicate device which presumably met these in its own 510(k) submission (K151330).

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance (for clinical accuracy)

    Acceptance Criteria (from Predicate Device No.1, presumed for subject device)Reported Device Performance (for Subject Device BP3GK1-4B)
    Pressure Accuracy: Within ± 3 mmHg or 2% of reading > 200mmHgPressure Accuracy: Within ± 3 mmHg or 2% of reading > 200mmHg (claimed identical to Predicate No.1)
    Pulse Accuracy: ± 5 % of the readingPulse Accuracy: ± 5 % of the reading (claimed identical to Predicate No.1)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Not provided for the subject device (BP3GK1-4B). The document explicitly states: "There was no repeated clinical testing required for blood pressure measurement to support BP3GK1-4B as the subject device can leverage the clinical validation of BP3NN1-3E that was proven in K151330."
    • To obtain this information, the 510(k) submission K151330 for the predicate device BP3NN1-3E would need to be reviewed.

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

    • Not provided for the subject device. This information would be within the clinical validation study of the predicate device (K151330), if detailed. Blood pressure monitor validation studies typically involve comparison against reference measurements taken by trained operators.

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

    • Not provided for the subject device. This information would be within the clinical validation study of the predicate device (K151330), if detailed. Standards like AAMI/ANSI/IEC 81060-2 specify requirements for comparing automated blood pressure measurements against auscultatory measurements by human observers.

    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 automated blood pressure monitor for direct blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. It does not involve "human readers" in its primary function for diagnosis, but rather provides direct readings to the user.

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

    • Yes, implicitly. The device operates standalone to provide blood pressure readings. The claim of substantial equivalence for blood pressure measurement performance means the device's algorithm performs its intended function without human intervention in the measurement process itself. The clinical validation referenced by the predicate (K151330) against the AAMI / ANSI/IEC81060-2 standard would have assessed this standalone performance against reference measurements.

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

    • Presumed to be reference blood pressure measurements. For blood pressure monitors, the ground truth is typically established using a reference method, such as auscultatory measurement by trained observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer or another validated reference device, following international standards like AAMI/ANSI/IEC 81060-2.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable / Not provided. For a hardware device with an embedded algorithm like this, there isn't typically a "training set" in the machine learning sense for the end-user product. The algorithm development may have involved internal data for calibration and optimization, but this is distinct from a clinical validation "test set." The document does not provide details on algorithm development data.

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

    • Not applicable / Not provided. (See point 8).

    The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia.

    The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and the atrial fibrillation symbol "is displayed on the LCD screen if any atrial fibrillation signal has been detected.

    In addition, the memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the WatchBP Analyzer software by connecting the monitor via USB cable or Bluetooth.

    The device is intended to be used by healthcare professionals and patients in clinical and patient's environments.

    AI/ML Overview

    The medical device referenced is the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1).

    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 blood pressure monitors generally follow established standards such as ISO 81060-2. While the exact numerical criteria aren't explicitly stated in a table format within the provided document, the text mentions compliance with ISO 81060-2:2018 for clinical validation. This standard outlines the accuracy requirements for intermittent automated measurement types of non-invasive sphygmomanometers.

    Reported Device Performance:
    The document states that the clinical validation reports for the subject device, following ISO 81060-2:2018, demonstrate the accuracy of blood pressure measurement in the general population across a wide range of arm sizes and for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (VOL 10, 002 and VOL 10, 003).

    Additional performance features and claims for which the device's accuracy is asserted (by leveraging predicate device validation or by implication of compliance with standards) include:

    • Accurate measurement in pregnant patients, including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia.
    • Detection of atrial fibrillation.
    • Measurement of aortic blood pressure parameters (cSBP, cPP, cDBP).
    Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards)Reported Device Performance
    Blood Pressure Measurement Accuracy (as per ISO 81060-2:2018 for intermittent automated measurement type)Clinical validation reports of the subject device following ISO 81060-2:2018 demonstrate the accuracy of the blood pressure measurement for use in the general population across a wide range of arm sizes (VOL 10, 002).
    Accuracy for Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)Clinical validation reports for the subject device intended for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (VOL 10, 003) demonstrate its accuracy for this use.
    Ability to accurately measure in pregnant patients (including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia)The device can accurately measure in pregnant patients, including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia (stated in Indications for Use and the clinical validation section leverages the predicate's validation for this). The performance of the WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) in terms of brachial blood pressure measurement in pregnant patients would be essentially equivalent with the predicate device.
    Atrial Fibrillation DetectionThe device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and gives a warning signal. The performance of the WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) in terms of atrial fibrillation detection would be essentially equivalent with the predicate device.
    Measurement of Aortic Blood Pressure Parameters (cSBP, cPP, cDBP)The device provides aortic blood pressure parameters, including central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP), and central diastolic blood pressure (cDBP), non-invasively. The performance of the WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) in terms of central blood pressure measurement would be essentially equivalent with the predicate device.
    Safety and Essential Performance (as per IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, ISO 10993 series, AAMI/ANSI/IEC 80601-2-30, IEC 60601-1-11)Non-clinical testing was conducted to prove safety and effectiveness as well as substantial equivalence, utilizing national and international standards listed (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993 series, AAMI/ANSI/IEC 80601-2-30, IEC 60601-1-11). It was concluded that the device met all relevant requirements of these tests.

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

    The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the clinical test sets. It refers to "clinical validation reports of the subject device following ISO 81060-2:2018 for use in general population across a wide range of arm sizes (VOL 10, 002) and intended for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (VOL 10, 003)".

    The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified in the provided text.

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

    This information is not provided in the given text. For non-invasive blood pressure monitors, the ground truth for accuracy studies is typically established by trained observers taking auscultatory measurements using a mercury sphygmomanometer, not usually by "experts" in the sense of physicians establishing diagnoses. The methodology of ISO 81060-2:2018 would dictate the number and training of these observers.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The adjudication method is not explicitly mentioned. For blood pressure measurement validation studies, ground truth is typically established by simultaneous measurements or sequential measurements by multiple trained observers, with specified acceptable differences between their readings.

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

    A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not applicable and was not conducted as this is a device for automated measurement of blood pressure, not an imaging or diagnostic AI system requiring human reader interpretation. Thus, the concept of "how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance" does not apply here.

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

    Yes, the primary clinical validation conducted falls under a standalone performance evaluation. The device is an "Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor" using an "oscillometric technique." The clinical validation according to ISO 81060-2:2018 assesses the accuracy of the device's automated measurements against a reference standard (typically auscultatory measurements). This evaluates the algorithm's performance directly, as it automatically determines systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, MAP, cSBP, cPP, cDBP, and atrial fibrillation detection.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the blood pressure measurement accuracy (ISO 81060-2:2018), the ground truth is established by a reference standard measurement, typically simultaneous auscultatory measurements performed by trained observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer or equivalent, as per the standard's protocol.

    For the atrial fibrillation detection, the ground truth would likely be established by a reference ECG recording interpreted by a cardiologist, although this specific detail is not provided.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document describes this as a premarket notification for a predicate device. It explicitly states that the subject device (BP3SZ1-1) uses "the same software algorithm to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and central diastolic pressure (cDBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and Atrial Fibrillation Detection" as the predicate device (BP3SK1-3B). This indicates the algorithm was already developed and validated with prior data, likely from the predicate device's development or other studies that are not mentioned in this submission.

    Therefore, the sample size for a "training set" for the algorithm itself is not provided in this document, as the focus is on clinical validation of the device using an existing algorithm.

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

    As stated above, the document doesn't provide information on the training set for the algorithm. However, given that the algorithm is the "same" as a predicate device, its original ground truth would have been established through a similar process of comparing automated blood pressure readings against reference standard auscultatory measurements (for blood pressure) and likely expert-adjudicated ECGs (for AFib detection) during its development and initial validation.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device, the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C). This summary focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) (K100763).

    The document does not contain a new study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on independent clinical data for the subject device (BP3MX1-3C). Instead, it leverages the clinical validation of the predicate device (BP3MX1-4) to argue for substantial equivalence.

    Therefore, for the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" for the subject device (BP3MX1-3C), the answer is that a new clinical study was not performed to independently prove the subject device's performance against specific acceptance criteria.

    The document explicitly states:

    "From a clinical validation standpoint, the subject device is identical to the 510(k) cleared predicate device, WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4), K100763, in blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection."
    "Therefore the performance of the WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) in terms of blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection would be essential equivalent with performance of the predicate device WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4). There was no repeated clinical testing required for blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection to support WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) as the subject device can leverage the clinical validation of WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) that was proven in K100763."

    Given this, it is not possible to provide the requested details for the subject device's independent clinical study as it was asserted that such a study was not warranted due to substantial equivalence to the predicate.

    Information that CANNOT be Extracted from the Provided Text:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance for the subject device's own clinical study: No such study was reported for the subject device.
    • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective) for the subject device's own clinical study.
    • 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) for the subject device's own clinical study.
    • Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set for the subject device's own clinical study.
    • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done for the subject device.
    • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done for the subject device.
    • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for the subject device's own clinical study.
    • The sample size for the training set for the subject device’s algorithm (if applicable).
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established for the subject device’s algorithm (if applicable).

    Information that MAY be Inferred or Found in the Referenced Predicate Device (K100763):

    The document states that the predicate device (WatchBP Home N, K100763) had its clinical validation for blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection proven. Therefore, the requested information (acceptance criteria, study details, ground truth, etc.) would likely be found in the 510(k) submission for K100763. The current document only refers to that previous clearance.

    The only "acceptance criteria" presented are the non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness, based on recognized international standards. These are not clinical acceptance criteria for performance in measuring blood pressure or detecting AFib.

    Device Description

    Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the adults and pediatrics (but not neonates) populations with arm circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm by using a non-invasive technique in which one inflatable cuff is wrapped around the single upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but use a resistive pressure sensor rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensor convert tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals to define the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and central diastolic pressure (cDBP) which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".

    The device has two measurement modes that can be used :> mode and > mode. It has number of measurements setting function, resting time setting function, measurement intervals setting function, atrial fibrillation detection function, Central Blood Pressure (CBP) measurement function etc. In addition, the device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Analyzer software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via USB cable or Bluetooth.

    The measurement program in > mode of the device can be set, includes Number of Measurements, Resting Time (Countdown time), Interval Time, AFIB detector, CBP measurement, HIDE and Average calculation (Discard 1st measurement). Select > mode, press the Ubutton to perform automatic measurements based on the settings of > mode. The device shows all the settings and then starts counting down the Resting Time before the first measurement. The average measurement reading is displayed and saved after the measurements are complete.

    The measurement program in > mode can be set to preferences. The program includes setting the Highest Cuff Pressure and Hide Cuff Pressure during deflation. Select the >mode if auscultatory blood pressure measurement is preferred above oscillometric blood pressure measurement. In > mode, the device serves as a pressure gauge. No oscillometric measurements will be taken. Systolic and diastolic Korotkoff sounds are determined by the physician using a stethoscope placed over the brachial artery.

    The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia.

    The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and the atrial fibrillation symbol "is displayed on the LCD screen if any atrial fibrillation signal has been detected.

    The device is for hospital use only.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B).

    The information provided does not contain specific acceptance criteria or detailed study results for the device itself.

    Intended Use

    The Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DG1 (NC200) is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. The device is indicated for use by people of all ages in the home.

    Device Description

    The Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DG1 (NC200) is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to measure infrared energy radiated from the forehead. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The device uses CapSense Technology to detect distance this technology is used to assist measurement. The concept of proximity sensor detects human electrical proximity level to transform to distance. The distance control feature is added to the user interface to identify the measurement distances are in the correct parameter. In other words, the device will enter into measurement mode after the correct measurement distance is detected. This device can take a measurement automatically when the device detects the distance is appropriate within 5 cm.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DG1 (NC200), and its comparison to a predicate device (Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer FR1DZ1, K100953) for substantial equivalence in an FDA 510(k) submission.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document states that the Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DG1 (NC200) intends to meet the accuracy requirements of the ISO 80601-2-56: 2017 standard (implicitly, as it's listed as a standard the device was tested against and clinical testing was done according to ASTM E1965-98, which typically defines accuracy limits for clinical thermometers).

    The device's reported laboratory accuracy is as follows:

    Temperature Range (°C)Accuracy (°C)Temperature Range (°F)Accuracy (°F)
    35.0 ~ 42.0±0.295.0 ~ 107.6±0.4
    34.0 ~ 34.9±0.393.2 ~ 94.8±0.5
    42.1 ~ 43.0±0.3107.8 ~ 109.4±0.5

    The document also mentions that "the test report demonstrated that the clinical data, represented by clinical bias met the acceptance criteria of the clinical study protocol." However, the specific numerical acceptance criteria for clinical bias are not explicitly stated in the provided text.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: 116 subjects.
      • 38 infants (newborn to one year)
      • 41 children (greater than one to five years)
      • 37 adults (greater than five years old)
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. It describes a "clinical study" which implies prospective data collection, but does not explicitly state "prospective."

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The study is described as a "randomization, simple blind homologous control, pairing design of clinical investigation," and it states that "clinical bias met the acceptance criteria," suggesting a comparison against a reference thermometer measurement taken by an expert, but the number and qualifications of such experts are not detailed.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The adjudication method is not explicitly stated. The study design mentions "simple blind homologous control" and "pairing design," but doesn't specify how ground truth discrepancies (if any) were resolved or if multiple readers were involved in establishing the ground truth measurements.

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

    This information is not provided. The text describes a clinical study to assess the accuracy of the device itself, not a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance. The device is a thermometer, not an AI diagnostic tool.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

    Yes, a standalone study was performed. The clinical testing described is primarily focused on the device's ability to measure temperature directly, without human interpretation of complex images or data where "human-in-the-loop" would typically apply. The "clinical bias met the acceptance criteria" refers to the instrument's performance.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used was clinical data obtained from a "randomization, simple blind homologous control, pairing design of clinical investigation." In thermometer studies, this typically involves comparing the device's readings against a highly accurate reference thermometer (e.g., a rectal or oral mercury/electronic thermometer, or another gold standard for body temperature measurement) by an expert under controlled conditions. The term "clinical bias" supports this interpretation.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not provided. The document makes no mention of a "training set," as the device is a medical measurement instrument. While it has algorithms (e.g., PH15.0 Algorithm for temperature calculation), these are typically developed through engineering and calibration, not through machine learning training sets in the same way an AI diagnostic algorithm would be.

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

    This information is not provided, as the concept of a "training set" with established ground truth in the context of machine learning does not directly apply to the development and validation of this type of electronic thermometer. The algorithms for temperature calculation would be based on physical principles, calibration, and engineering, rather than a data-driven training process with labeled ground truth data.

    Clinical Study Protocol Acceptance CriteriaClinical data (clinical bias, uncertainty of bias, clinical repeatability) met these criteria.

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

    • Sample Size: 114 subjects.
    • Data Provenance: The study was a clinical investigation, implying prospective data collection specifically for this study. The location of the clinical study is not explicitly stated, but it's a "clinical investigation" and a "clinical study" was conducted.

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

    The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth. It states that "clinical data, represented by clinical bias, with uncertainty of bias, and clinical repeatability, met the acceptance criteria of the clinical study protocol," which implies a comparison against a reference standard or method for temperature measurement, likely managed by clinical professionals, but their specific roles, number, or qualifications are not detailed.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not explicitly state an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). It describes the clinical study as a "randomization, simple blind homologous control, pairing design," but this refers to the study design rather than a reader adjudication process. For temperature measurement, ground truth is typically established by high-precision reference thermometers rather than expert consensus on interpretation.

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

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a digital infrared ear thermometer, and its performance is evaluated directly against known temperature standards and clinical correlations, not through human reader interpretation.

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

    Yes, the performance testing described in the various standards (e.g., ASTM E1965-98, ISO 80601-2-56) and the accuracy in blackbody mode inherently represent standalone performance. The device provides a direct temperature reading. The clinical study then validated this standalone reading in a real-world setting.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the device's accuracy is established through objective measurement against:

    • Blackbody mode accuracy: For measuring the device's inherent precision against a controlled and known temperature source.
    • Clinical Study Protocol: Which would involve comparing the device's readings to established clinical reference temperature measurement methods. The document mentions "clinical bias, with uncertainty of bias, and clinical repeatability," which are standard metrics for comparing a device to a reference measurement in a clinical setting.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not mention a training set or machine learning models. This device is a traditional electronic thermometer that uses an infrared sensor and an algorithm to convert infrared energy into a temperature value. It doesn't appear to use learning-based AI or require a training set in the conventional sense.

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

    As no training set is indicated, this question is not applicable.
