Visensia® with alert is an accessory to multi-parameter patient monitors (bedside, ambulatory, or centralized location) or clinical information systems and is indicated for use by health care professionals with those non-pediatric high dependency care patients for whom multi-parameter patient monitoring has been routine.

Visensia® provides the clinician with a patient status index (Visensia® Index) based on a weighted average of five or (four) vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The Visensia® Index is a single measure of a patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. Visensia® is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital sign monitoring.

When a Visensia® alert has activated, it means that the Visensia® Index has reached and/or surpassed the default threshold and indicates that attention should be brought to the patient.

Visensia® software is a computerized analysis software program designed as an adjunct to standard patient monitors or medical information systems. It operates by forming an aggregate score of patient status based on five vital signs; heart rate; respiratory rate; temperature; noninvasive blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation. The aggregate score, the Visensia® Index, is displayed on a scale of 0-5, with 0 representing the normal end of the scale and 5 representing extreme physiological deterioration. An audible and visual alert is provided when the Visensia® index exceeds a threshold value for a period of time. The Visensia® Index is calculated whenever new data is received.

The Visensia® display consists of a combination of the following:

• An identifier for each monitored patient and location .
• The Visensia® Index value for each patient (shown as a number, trend or other graphical . representation).
• The vital signs for each patient (shown as a number, trend or other graphical . representation).
• A status bar area showing the state of the system .

Visensia® may also be implemented as a data processing server with no graphical interface.

Visensia with Alert is an accessory to multi-parameter patient monitors (bedside, ambulatory, or centralized location) or clinical information systems and is indicated for use by health care professionals with those non-paediatric high dependency care patients for whom multi-parameter patient monitoring has been routine.

Visensia® provides the clinician with a patient status index (Visensia® Index) based on a weighted average of five or four vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The Visensia 9 Index is a single measure of a patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. Visensia with Alert is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital sign monitoring and as such does not contain alarms, but alerts the physician to changes in the patient's physiological status.

When a Visensia® Alert has activated, it means that the Visensia® Index has reached and/or surpassed the default threshold and indicates that attention should be brought to the patient.

Visensia® is a software accessory to standard multiple parameter physiological patient v benturs (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information systems. It operates on a standard PC, or personal computer.

Visensia® is a software device that through advanced signal processing can combine physiological signals in order to produce a single index (Visensia® index) representation of patient condition.

Visensia® is a computerized analysis system that can accept multiple channels of Prisonological data (for example heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure and oxygen saturation as inputs). Through advanced signal processing, Visensia® can identify changes in patient status.

The provided text describes Visensia® with Alert, a software accessory that generates a "patient status index" (Visensia® Index) based on vital signs. It also has an alert function to indicate changes in a patient's physiological status.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was conducted, implied by the "Performance Studies" section.

• "Design verification: Design verification testing of Visensia® hardware and software against the specified requirements has been conducted and Visensia® has been found to meet the specifications."
• "Design validation: Design validation testing of Visensia® index model has been conducted and concluded that device specifications conformed with user needs and intended use."
• "Clinical Testing: Clinical data illustrates the effectiveness of Visensia and the usefulness of he alert function. The data correlates patient deterioration with alerting function."

These statements suggest that the algorithm's performance in generating the index and alerts was evaluated, independently of human interpretation, though the specifics of this evaluation are limited.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The document indicates that the "Clinical data illustrates the effectiveness of Visensia and the usefulness of he alert function. The data correlates patient deterioration with alerting function."

This implies that the ground truth for clinical testing was based on observed "patient deterioration" as determined by clinical assessment. However, the specific methodology for defining and confirming "patient deterioration" (e.g., specific clinical outcomes, physician diagnosis, or a composite score) is not detailed.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document makes no mention of a "training set" or its sample size. The description of the device's development implies that the model for the Visensia® Index was developed and refined using historical clinical data, as stated in the substantial equivalence comparison to Sonicaid System 8002: "Visensia®... provides decision support to a clinician in the determination of normality based on a model derived from historic clinical data." However, the size of this historical dataset is not provided.

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

The document indicates that the model for determining normality was "derived from historic clinical data." Analogous to the predicate device Sonicaid System 8002 where "criteria were established by examination of historical clinical data." This implies that the ground truth for developing the model was based on retrospective analysis of historical clinical data, likely interpreted by experts or defined by established clinical criteria for "normality" or "patient status." However, the specifics of how this ground truth was established (e.g., number of experts, specific criteria) are not detailed.
