The Multifunction KEITO K5 is intended to be used by adults in order to measure height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and to calculate pulse rate.

The Multifunction KEITO K5 (K5) is designed to provide the user with measurements of blood pressure, height, and weight, as well as to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) and pulse rate. The user is prompted to select a measurement cycle, step onto the K5 platform, and wait momentarily while the measurements and calculations are performed. After the measurements have been taken, the K5 provides the user with the results. To operate the K5 the user inserts a coin into the coin slot, and steps onto the platform. The user has the option of selecting a partial measuring cycle or a complete cycle. In a partial cycle, weight and height measurements are taken and Body Mass Index calculations are performed in the partial cycle. In a complete cycle, weight, height, blood pressure, and pulse measurements are taken. Body Mass Index is calculated and the W.H.O. blood pressure recommendations are provided. The K5 prints out a ticket containing the results of the measurements and the recommended ranges for both BMI and blood pressure.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Multifunction KEITO K5, based on the provided document:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set

• Blood Pressure Accuracy Test:
  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated, but the test compared the K5 to a manual sphygmomanometer.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (a German national metrology institute), implying the data was collected in Germany. It is implied to be prospective testing for regulatory approval.
• Height Compensation Test:
  • Sample Size: "multiple users of different heights, ages and sex." The exact number is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but likely conducted by the manufacturer or a third-party testing facility. It is implied to be prospective.

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

• Blood Pressure Accuracy Test:
  • The "ground truth" was established by a manual sphygmomanometer, which is the gold standard for clinical blood pressure measurement.
  • The document does not specify the number or qualifications of clinicians/technicians operating the manual sphygmomanometer, but it's implied they were trained professionals given the regulatory context.
• Height Compensation Test:
  • The ground truth for blood pressure measurements in this test would also be the manual sphygmomanometer.
  • No specific experts mentioned for validating the compensatory formula itself, beyond the statistical methodologies applied.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• No specific adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1 consensus) is described.
• For the blood pressure accuracy, the comparison was directly between the device and the manual sphygmomanometer, with results being "evaluated in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the regulation." This suggests a direct comparison against a standard rather than expert adjudication of AI outputs.

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

• No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The device is a standalone measurement system, not an AI assisting human readers.

6. Standalone Performance Study

• Yes, a standalone performance study was done.
  • The pressure system of the Multifunction KEITO K5 was tested by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt to verify its accuracy against a manual sphygmomanometer.
  • Additional testing was conducted on the K5 to determine correct user height compensation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used (Test Set)

• Blood Pressure Accuracy Test: Comparison against a gold standard (manual sphygmomanometer).
• Height Compensation Test: Comparison against a gold standard (manual sphygmomanometer), along with objective measurements of height, age, and sex.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• The document does not explicitly describe a "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning model. The K5 is described as a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system, not an AI-driven diagnostic or image analysis tool that would typically have a distinct training set.
• The "formula was developed to compensate for user height" based on testing "multiple users of different heights, ages and sex." This process of developing the formula might be considered analogous to a training phase, but the sample size is not specified beyond "multiple users."

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

• As above, the concept of a "training set" for an AI model isn't directly applicable here.
• If we consider the development of the height compensation formula as an analogous process, the "ground truth" for developing this formula was established by using manual sphygmomanometer readings and objective user height measurements from "multiple users of different heights, ages and sex." The formula was then derived using "statistical methodologies" to correlate these measurements and compensate for variations.
