    Intended Use

    The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed is intended for use in stress echocardiography examination. The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed provides an exercise source that delivers programmable, controlled variable resistance.

    The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed incorporates an electrocardiograph that records either normal conditions or patterns of arrhythmia and/or rate abnormalities in patients. In addition, the stress echo workstation provides "QRS" complex to a cardiac ultrasound device to be used to capture images (heart beats), either digitally or on videotape, such that each image begins at the time systole begins.

    Device Description

    The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed is a complete integrated stress echocardiography system. The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed combines the Stress Echo™ Bed / Table with an electrocardiograph. The Stress Echo™ Bed provides an exercise source that delivers programmable, controlled variable resistance, while the ECG provides the patient monitoring and recording. Several models of the Stress Echo Bed/Table are available with features that include height adjustability, Trendelenburg, dual, lateral tilt, and computer controllers.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Q-Stress Echo™ Bed, focusing on acceptance criteria and the study performed:

    This document describes a device (Q-Stress Echo™ Bed) that is primarily a physical exercise and monitoring system. It's not an AI/ML powered device, therefore many of the typical acceptance criteria and study details for such systems (like sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, MRMC studies, training set details) are not applicable. The details provided are for a predicate device comparison and performance bench testing for a physical medical device.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device Performance
    Functional EquivalenceDevice must provide an integrated exercise source and electrocardiograph for cardiovascular monitoring, similar to the predicate device."The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed and the predicate device incorporate the same Stress Echo™ Bed and an electrocardiograph."

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

    The document describes performance bench testing, physical performance studies, and software evaluation. These are laboratory/engineering tests, not clinical studies involving human patient data in the typical sense of a "test set" for an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, there is no mention of a sample size for a test set in the context of patient data, nor its provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

    This information is not applicable as the described tests are technical performance evaluations of a physical and software system, not diagnostic assessments based on expert-established ground truth.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable as there is no "test set" in the context of patient data requiring expert adjudication.

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

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is specifically designed for evaluating the diagnostic performance of AI or human readers, typically in image interpretation, and is not relevant to the performance testing of a physical stress echo bed system.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

    No, a standalone performance study (algorithm only) was not done. The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed is a physical medical device system with integrated software, not a standalone algorithm.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance was based on the device's technical specifications and intended functionality. It was likely established through:

    • Engineering specifications and design requirements: Did the exercise source deliver the programmed resistance accurately? Did the ECG accurately record the electrical signals and "QRS" complex?
    • Comparisons to known good outputs: Did the ECG reports, trends, and ST segments match expected outcomes for various simulated conditions?
    • Predicate device characteristics: The primary "ground truth" for substantial equivalence was the established performance and characteristics of the predicate Vertex System.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable. The Q-Stress Echo™ Bed is described as a physical system with integrated ECG functionality following established specifications, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" for model development.

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

    This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.
