Intended Use- HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform:
The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform is intended to be used by qualified personnel or trained clinicians in a critical care environment in a hospital setting. The Viewfinder Remote mobile application can be used for supplemental near real-time remote display of monitored hemodynamic parameter data as well as Faults, Alerts and Notifications generated by the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform.
The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform is intended for use with compatible Edwards Swan-Ganz and Oximetry Catheters, FloTrac sensors, Acumen IQ sensors, Acumen IQ fluid meter, TruWave DPT sensors, ForeSight sensors, and ClearSight/Acumen IQ finger cuffs.

The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring platform was designed to simplify the customer experience by providing one platform with modular solutions for their hemodynamic monitoring needs. The user can choose from the available optional sub-system modules or use multiple sub-system modules at the same time. This modular approach provides the customer with the choice of purchasing and/or using specific monitoring applications based on their needs. Users are not required to have all of the modules installed at the same time for the platform to function.
HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform, subject of this submission, consists of the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor that provides a means to interact with and visualize hemodynamic and volumetric data on the monitor screen and its five (5) optional external modules: the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module (K163381 cleared, April 14, 2017), the HemoSphere Oximetry Cable (K163381 cleared, April 14, 2017), HemoSphere Pressure Cable (K180881 Cleared, November 16, 2018), HemoSphere Technology Module (K213682 cleared, June 22, 2022), HemoSphere ForeSight Module (K213682, June 22, 2022), and the HemoSphere ClearSight Module (K203687 cleared, May 28, 2021). Additionally, the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform includes the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index software feature (DEN160044 granted March 16, 2018) and the Acumen Assisted Fluid Management software feature (DEN190029 granted November 13, 2020). The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor also has wired and wireless capabilities, which was originally used only for connecting to a Hospital Information System (HIS) for data charting purposes. This capability is now used to allow it to stream continuously monitored data to the Viewfinder Remote, a mobile device-based application, for remote viewing the information (K211465, cleared July 8, 2021). The remotely transmitted data from the patient monitoring sessions include all hemodynamic parameter data and the associated physiological alarm notifications, historical trend data, and parameter waveform data.

HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring platform as cleared in K213682 cleared June 22, 2022, is being modified as follows:

1. Acumen Assisted Fluid Management Automated Fluid Tracking Mode:
   The AFM software feature (AFM algorithm + AFM GUI), which informs clinicians of patient fluid responsiveness (K213682, cleared June 22, 2022), allows for manual fluid tracking, and resides on the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor.
   The AFM software feature is being modified to allow for an automated fluid tracking mode as the default mode. Users can switch to the optional manual fluid tracking mode through the advanced settings menu. This automated fluid tracking mode for the AFM software feature is achieved via two components namely, the Acumen AFM Cable and the Acumen IQ fluid meter (both devices subject of this 510(k)). No modifications have been made to the previously cleared AFM algorithm. AFM GUI screens have been updated to account for the automated fluid tracking mode via the Acumen AFM cable and Acumen IO fluid meter.
   The Acumen AFM Cable is a reusable cable that connects the Acumen IO fluid meter to the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform and converts the flow rate received from the Acumen IQ fluid meter to total volume for the HemoSphere monitor to be used by AFM software feature. No modifications have been made to the previously cleared AFM algorithm. AFM GUI screens have been updated to account for the automatic fluid tracking mode. The Acumen IQ fluid meter is a sterile, single use device that measures the flow of fluid delivered to a patient through the intravenous line to which it is connected.
   When used together, the Acumen IQ fluid meter with the Acumen AFM Cable connected to a HemoSphere monitor, the fluid volume can be automatically tracked and displayed on the monitor as part of the AFM software feature screens.

2. Automatic Zeroing of the Heart Reference Sensor (HRS)
   The ClearSight Module (CSM), initially cleared in K201446 on October 1, 2020, is a non-invasive monitoring platform that includes a Pressure Controller (PC2) that is worn on the wrist, a Heart Reference Sensor (HRS), and the ClearSight/Acumen IQ Finger Cuffs.
   The Pressure Controller (also referred to as 'Wrist unit' or PC2) is connected to the patient via a wrist band. The Pressure Controller connects to the ClearSight Module (CSM) on one end and with the Heart Reference Sensor (HRS) and the finger cuff on the other. The connection to the CSM provides power and serial communication. The Pressure Controller is designed to control the blood pressure measurement process and send the finger arterial pressure waveform to the CSM. The CSM software transforms the finger level blood pressure measurements into the conventional radial blood pressure.
   In the predicate HemoSphere (K213682, cleared on June 22, 2022), as part of the ClearSight workflow, the user was required to zero the HRS prior to monitoring by aligning both ends of the HRS, the heart end and the finger end, and pressing the "0" button on the HemoSphere Graphical User Interface (GUI). After zeroing the HRS, the user is required to place both ends of the HRS in the appropriate location and then they can begin monitoring.
   For the subject device, the Pressure Controller (PC2) firmware has been updated to include a mathematical model that automatically calculates the zero offset of the HRS based on the age of the specific HRS at the time of use. With the addition of the mathematical model, the user is no longer required to zero the HRS prior to start of monitoring since the system now has the zero-offset calculated. As such, the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor graphical user interface (GUI) was updated to remove the Zero HRS step as part of the Zero & Waveform screen and ClearSight setup.
   The ClearSight Module firmware was also updated as part of support for the Automatic Zeroing of HRS feature. The firmware update included additional logging to support HRS calibration, bug fixes and updates to communication to the pressure controller to support display of proper HRS calibration information.

3. Patient Query
   As cleared in K213682, when the user queried for patient information, all patient records that match the search criteria were sent to the HemoSphere platform (from the Viewfinder Hub) for the user to review. With this update, only 30 records are shared at a time between the Viewfinder Hub and HemoSphere monitor.

4. Miscellaneous Updates
   Miscellaneous updates include:

• Bug fixes -
• Cybersecurity updates -
• Operator's manual updates -
• Heart Reference Sensor Instructions for Use update -

Based on the provided text, the document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA to Edwards Lifesciences, LLC, regarding the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor and related components. It does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria and study proving device performance in the way typically required for AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving a new clinical claim with a standalone performance study.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, human expert involvement, ground truth, and training set information are not available in this specific regulatory document, as they are not typically required for a 510(k) submission for device modifications like those described here. The "Acumen Assisted Fluid Management software feature" is mentioned, and an "AFM algorithm" is referenced, but detailed studies on its performance metrics are not included in this summary.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what information is missing:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study (Partial Information)

This 510(k) notification describes modifications to an existing device (HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform) and new components (Acumen AFM Cable, Acumen IQ fluid meter). The primary goal is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K213682). As such, the performance data presented is focused on verifying that the modifications do not adversely affect safety and effectiveness, rather than establishing new clinical performance metrics or comparing AI performance against human readers.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of predetermined acceptance criteria for AI performance in the way one would for a new AI diagnostic claim (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it lists various verification and validation activities performed to ensure the modified device functions as intended and remains safe and effective.

Summary of Performance Data Presented:

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set

• Sample Size: Not specified for any quantitative testing that would typically involve a "test set" in the context of AI model validation (e.g., number of patient cases, number of images). The performance data cited are primarily bench simulations and system-level verification, not a clinical study with a patient test set.
• Data Provenance: Not specified, as no new clinical data or specific patient test sets are described. The reference to "bench simulation" suggests data generated in a lab environment.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

• Not Applicable/Not Provided: Since "No new clinical testing was performed" for this 510(k), there is no mention of expert involvement for establishing ground truth on a clinical test set. The original AFM algorithm clearance (DEN190029) might contain this information, but it's not in this document.

4. Adjudication Method for Test Set

• Not Applicable/Not Provided: No clinical test set described.

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

• No: The document explicitly states, "No new clinical testing was performed." Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted or reported in this submission.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

• Partial/Limited: While the document mentions "AFM outputs when the fluid meter mode was unlocked... were tested using a bench simulation," it does not provide quantitative results (e.g., accuracy, precision) for the algorithm's performance in a standalone setting. The focus is on the functionality and safety of the hardware additions (cable, meter) and the automation of fluid tracking for an existing algorithm. The "core predictive algorithm for the Assisted Fluid Management software feature" is stated to be from the predicate device (K213682), which itself refers back to DEN190029.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• Not explicitly stated for AI performance: For the "bench simulation" of AFM outputs, the "ground truth" would likely be the known, controlled fluid flow rates programmed into the simulation. No external clinical ground truth (e.g., pathology, long-term outcomes) is described in relation to the AI/AFM performance in this document.

8. Sample Size for Training Set

• Not Provided: The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of modifications. Information about the training set size for the AI algorithm (Acumen Assisted Fluid Management software feature) would have been part of its original clearance (DEN190029), not this subsequent 510(k) for modifications and new hardware. It mentions: "No modifications have been made to the previously cleared AFM algorithm."

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established

• Not Provided: Similar to point 8, this information would pertain to the original clearance of the AFM algorithm (DEN190029) and is not detailed in this document.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Sample Size: The text states that "retrospective analysis of clinical data from multiple independent datasets, comprised of data from patients over the age of 18 years" was used. However, a specific numerical sample size (e.g., number of patients or data points) is not provided in the document.
• Data Provenance: The data was "retrospective analysis of clinical data from multiple independent datasets." The country of origin of the data is not specified.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The text does not describe how the "ground truth" for the clinical data used in the retrospective analysis was established, nor does it mention the use of experts for this purpose.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document.

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

A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned or described in the document. This study focuses on an algorithm modification for a medical device (HemoSphere ClearSight Module) measuring physiological parameters, not on human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

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

Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the algorithm was done. The "Algorithm Verification (Clinical Performance Data)" section specifically states: "Algorithm performance was tested using clinical data." This indicates an evaluation of the algorithm's performance independent of real-time human interaction.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

The document refers to the evaluation of "Cardiac Output accuracy." For a device that measures physiological parameters like Cardiac Output, the "ground truth" would typically refer to a gold standard measurement technique for that parameter. However, the exact gold standard method used to establish the ground truth for Cardiac Output in the clinical data is not explicitly stated in the provided text. It implies the use of "clinical data" which would have reference measurements for comparison but does not detail the nature of these reference measurements.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document only mentions "retrospective analysis of clinical data" for testing the algorithm modification. It does not provide any information regarding a "training set" or its sample size. This suggests that the modification might have been made to an existing algorithm, and the focus of this submission is on verifying the impact of that modification using a test set, rather than developing a new algorithm from scratch requiring a separate training set.

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

Since no training set is mentioned, this information is not provided in the document.

HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform consists of the HemoSphere Advanced Monitor that provides a means to interact with and visualize hemodynamic and volumetric data on a screen and five (5) optional external modules: the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module (K163381 Cleared, April 14, 2017), the HemoSphere Oximetry Cable (K163381 Cleared, April 14, 2017), HemoSphere Pressure Cable (K180881 Cleared, November 16, 2018), HemoSphere Tissue Oximetry Module (K190205 August 29, 2019), and the HemoSphere ClearSight Module (K201446 Cleared October 1, 2020).
The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor with HemoSphere ClearSight module is a non-invasive monitoring platform intended to continuously and noninvasively measure blood pressure and associated hemodynamic parameters.
The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform when used with ClearSight Module uses the same technology as the predicate device. The volume clamp method of Peñáz is the measurement method, and the pressure waveform reconstruction is based on the generalized transfer function and level of correction of Gizdulich.
The platform also includes the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) feature for the ClearSight (non-invasive) technology. Currently, the HemoSphere Pressure Cable enables the HPI feature when connected to an Acumen IQ sensor. This feature has been updated to also enable the HPI feature when connected to the Acumen IQ finger cuff (ClearSight finger cuff).
The modified ClearSight System receives the pressure signal from the finger cuff and reconstructs it to a radial arterial pressure representation of the signal. This radial reconstructed signal is then used to calculate the previously available key hemodynamic parameters; PR, MAP, SYS, DIA, PPV and SVV. Additionally, the radial reconstructed signal is also used to calculate the parameters associated with the Hypotension Prediction Index feature (HPI, Eadyn, and dP/dt).
The cardiac output (CO) and other measurements derived from cardiac output, such as stroke volume (SV), cardiac output index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI) remain unchanged and will continue to use previously cleared ClearSight algorithm to reconstruct the finger pressure waveform into a brachial arterial pressure waveform.

The provided text describes the HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform, which is a medical device. The submission focuses on modifications to the ClearSight algorithm and the addition of the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) feature for non-invasive technology.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria, based on the provided text:

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

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets. Instead, it states that "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications." and "All tests passed." for various types of testing. The primary performance claim is related to the substantial equivalence to the predicate device, particularly regarding safety and effectiveness.

For the Acumen HPI feature, the indication states: "The Acumen HPI feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient's likelihood of future hypotensive events (defined as mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg for at least one minute in duration) and the associated hemodynamics." The acceptance is implied by the successful clinical performance study demonstrating that the usage of the HPI algorithm with non-invasive technology did not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness.

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: The document mentions "multiple independent datasets" for the clinical performance study. It states these datasets were comprised of "patients over the age of 18 years undergoing surgical procedures with both minimally invasive and non-invasive monitoring." However, a specific numerical sample size for the test set is not provided.
• Data Provenance: The data was from "Prospective analyses of retrospective clinical data." The country of origin is not specified.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not provided in the document. The document states that the HPI feature defines a hypotensive event as "mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg for at least one minute in duration," which is an objective physiological measure, not one requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. For other parameters, substantial equivalence to the predicate device is claimed, implying the established methods for those measurements serve as ground truth or reference.

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

This information is not provided in the document. Given the nature of the device (physiological monitoring), traditional adjudication methods involving expert review of images or diagnoses are unlikely to be directly applicable in the same way as, for example, diagnostic imaging AI. The ground truth for hypotension is defined objectively by MAP thresholds.

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 comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is mentioned or implied. The HemoSphere Advanced Monitoring Platform and its HPI feature are presented as tools for clinicians to gain physiological insight, not as AI that directly 'assists' a human reader in interpreting complex visual data. The HPI feature is described as providing "additional quantitative information... for reference only and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) parameter." There is no discussion of human reader improvement or effect size.

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

Yes, a standalone performance of the algorithm was done as part of the "Algorithm Verification (Clinical Performance Data)" and "Clinical Performance" sections. The algorithms (ClearSight algorithm update and Acumen HPI feature) were tested using clinical data to establish that their usage did not adversely affect safety and effectiveness. This implies evaluation of the algorithm's output against clinical ground truth without direct human interpretation of the algorithm's internal workings or intermediate outputs.

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

The primary ground truth for the Acumen HPI feature, as implied by its definition, is physiological outcomes data: "mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg for at least one minute in duration." For other measured and derived hemodynamic parameters, the ground truth would typically be established by validated reference methods or the performance against the predicate device which itself has established accuracy.

8. The sample size for the training set

The sample size for the training set is not explicitly provided. The document states that "No modifications to the core predictive HPI algorithm have been made from the granted version in DEN160044 (granted March 16, 2018)." This suggests the original HPI algorithm was trained prior to this submission and its training data is not detailed here. The current submission focuses on verifying the algorithm's performance with non-invasive technology and changes to the ClearSight algorithm, not on re-training.

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

This information is not provided in the document for the HPI algorithm specifically. Since the core HPI algorithm was not modified, its original training ground truth would have been established during its initial development and clearance (DEN160044). For physiological monitoring devices, training ground truth typically comes from simultaneously acquired data from a highly accurate, often invasive, reference standard.
