    Intended Use

    The Propaq M system is indicated to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. ECG monitoring is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. The non-invasive blood pressure is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the user. The temperature monitoring feature is indicated for use in patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use for continuous nonitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, and/or carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), pleth variability index (PVI), and perfusion index (PI) via the pulse Co-oximeter and accessories. The pulse Co-oximeter and accessories are indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile environments.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The respiration monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use in continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate. The CO2 monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements via a compatible pressure transducer. The invasive pressure is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated to provide graphical trend data for SpO2, Systolic BP (SBP) and EtCO2 as well as ventilation assistance relevant to the management of a TBI patient.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use in acquiring, and reporting physiological data via 12-lead ECG Analysis, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The 12-lead ECG Analysis feature is indicated for use on adults (> 18 years of age).

    The Propaq M system is indicated for the remote display of physiological data displayed on connected Propaq M systems via the Web Console feature, including electrocardiogram (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature, and heart rate.

    Device Description

    The proposed ZOLL® Propag® M is a portable monitor designed for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic monitoring and vital signs assessment. In the currently cleared configuration, the ZOLL® Propaq® M provides monitoring capabilities for ECG, Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpO2), Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP), End Tidal CO2, Temperature, and Respiration. The device is powered by an auxiliary power supply or an easily replaced battery pack that is quickly recharged in the device when it is connected to the auxiliary power supply. The product is designed for use in hospital. EMS, and rugged military environments. The unit has a large colorful LCD display of numerics and waveform data that provides easy visibility from across the room and at any angle. ECG, plethysmograph, and respiration waveform traces can be displayed simultaneously, providing easy access to all patient monitoring data at once. The display screen is configurable to allow the best visual layout according to monitoring needs. The Propaq® M has a patient data review and collection system that allows the user to view, store, and transfer patient data. The Propaq® M unit contains a USB port, which the user can use to transfer data to a PC and, optionally, a printer, which can be used to print patient data. The Propaq® M unit can send data through a wireless connections. The unit can send 12lead report snapshots (including trend data) or disclosure logs to a recipient via a ZOLL® server. In addition, full disclosure cases, which also contain trend data, can be automatically retrieved from the Propaq® M unit using ZOLL® RescueNet® or ePCR software. Propaq® M models use an easily replaced rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (the SurePower II Battery Pack). A new, fully charged battery pack typically delivers more than 8 hours of ECG monitoring. Use of other functions (such as higher screen brightness or shorter NIBP intervals) reduces this time. A clinical dashboard for monitoring patients with suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been added as part of Software Version 02.34 of the proposed Propaq® M device. The TBI Dashboard was initially cleared for ZOLL® X Series® (K141774) to be displayed on a separate mobile device that connects to the main device (ZOLL® X Series®) via Bluetooth. The proposed feature is to display the TBI Dashboard directly on the Propag® M device via Software 02.34. The TBI Dashboard presents the user with graphical trend plots of 3 different parameters - (1) 15 minutes of systolic blood pressure (SBP), (2) 3 minutes of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), and (3) 3 minutes of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired breath (EtCO2). The proposed ZOLL® Propaq® M device already provides this information in tabular format and in the live parameter boxes. The TBI Dashboard groups the information on one screen in a graphical format. The trend graphs display supervisor-configurable limits to allow the user to monitor patient parameters based on their local protocols. These protocol limits only appear in Adult mode. There is also a ventilation panel available on the TBI Dashboard to assist the user with manual ventilations. The TBI Dashboard allows the user to modify the target ventilation rate, the scale of each graphical trend, and to turn the ventilation timer and prompt on or off. Software Version 02.34 introduces automatic retries of failed 12-Lead report transmissions. While legacy Software of the Propaq® M attempts transmission of the 12-Lead report only once, the new proposed Software Version 02.34 attempts re-transmission up to five times if the initial attempt fails. This feature is a non-clinical enhancement since it affects only an external communication feature of the device with no impact to the acquiring, analyzing, or reporting process of ECG data. The Propaq® M device is an alternate configuration of the ZOLL® X Series® device that depopulates the defibrillator/pacer module circuitry. Removal of this circuitry also removes CPR Monitoring capability from the device as the sensor that enables the CPR feature resides in the defibrillation electrodes. Physical changes to the proposed Propaq® M device are limited to removing the defibrillator and pacer modules, removing the defibrillator and pacer controls from the front keypad, and changing the color scheme of the device. The remaining features and functions of the proposed Propaq® M device are identical to the existing ZOLL® X Series® model. In order to simulate the functioning of the Propag® M device, a regression testing was conducted on the X Series device by disabling the defibrillator/pacer module, which ensures the effective functioning of the proposed Propag® M device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The ZOLL Propaq M device received 510(k) clearance (K202375) and is a portable patient monitor indicated for various physiological monitoring functions including ECG, SpO2, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, Invasive Blood Pressure, End Tidal CO2, Temperature, Respiration, 12-Lead Analysis, and a new TBI Dashboard feature. The submission focuses on the substantial equivalence of the modified Propaq M (with Software Version 02.34 incorporating the TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead re-transmission) to its predicate devices.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The FDA clearance letter for K202375 does not explicitly list acceptance criteria in a quantitative table format for the device's overall performance. Instead, the clearance is based on the device meeting various recognized standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical comparisons and verification/validation testing. The key additions covered by this submission are the TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead transmission retry enhancement.

    Since specific numerical acceptance criteria for the TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead re-transmission were not provided as such in the given document, the table will reflect the types of performance assessments conducted and the outcome in terms of meeting requirements.

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

    The document does not explicitly state a sample size for a distinct "test set" in the context of diagnostic accuracy or a clinical trial for the TBI Dashboard or 12-Lead re-transmission. Instead, the testing appears to be primarily non-clinical for these specific software enhancements.

    • TBI Dashboard & 12-Lead Re-transmission: The evaluation revolved around software verification and validation (V&V) through regression testing on the X Series device (which encompasses the Propaq M's functionalities with defibrillator/pacer module disabled) and usability testing. The sample sizes for these V&V activities are not explicitly detailed in the provided text.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify country of origin for any data related to these specific updates. The testing described (software V&V, safety, EMC, usability) are typically internal company processes. The submission refers to prior clearances for the predicate devices (K180482, K141774, P160022/S013), suggesting the data originates from previous testing submissions for those devices.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The TBI Dashboard update primarily involves displaying existing physiological data in a new graphical format and providing ventilation assistance. The 12-Lead re-transmission is a technical enhancement. Ground truth for these features would typically be established through engineering specifications, software requirements, and expert review within the development process, rather than a clinical "ground truth" derived from patient data by independent medical experts for performance validation.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided as the submission focuses on non-clinical testing for software updates and substantial equivalence, not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations against ground truth.

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

    A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed or mentioned in the provided text for the TBI Dashboard or 12-Lead re-transmission features. The submission states, "Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence." The improvements are primarily in data presentation and system reliability, not diagnostic accuracy requiring human reader comparison.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

    A standalone performance study for the algorithm of the TBI Dashboard or 12-Lead re-transmission, separate from the human-in-the-loop, was not explicitly detailed. The TBI Dashboard is a display feature and ventilation assistance tool presenting existing physiological data. The 12-Lead re-transmission is a software function to improve data transfer reliability. Their performance is assessed through software verification and validation, as well as usability testing, which inherently involves human interaction with the device.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the software updates (TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead re-transmission), the "ground truth" implicitly used is:

    • Engineering Specifications and Software Requirements: The device's performance is validated against its pre-defined functional and performance specifications.
    • Existing Physiological Data Streams: The TBI Dashboard utilizes existing, cleared physiological monitoring parameters (SpO2, SBP, EtCO2) from the Propaq M. The "ground truth" for these underlying parameters would have been established in previous clearances. The TBI Dashboard's "truth" is the faithful and accurate graphical representation of these established data streams.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not mention a training set sample size because the TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead re-transmission are not described as machine learning or AI models that require a distinct "training set" in the conventional sense. They are software features that process and display data based on predefined rules and algorithms.

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

    As no training set is described for these specific features (TBI Dashboard and 12-Lead re-transmission), this question is not applicable.

    Intended Use

    The Propaq M system is indicated to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. ECG monitoring is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.

    The Propag M system is indicated for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. The non-invasive blood pressure is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the user. The temperature monitoring feature is indicated for use in patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use for continuous nonitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, and/or carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), pleth variability index (PVI), and perfusion index (PI) via the pulse Co-oximeter and accessories. The pulse Co-oximeter and accessories are indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile environments.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The respiration monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use in continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath rate. The CO2 monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements via a compatible pressure transducer. The invasive pressure is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

    The Propaq M system is indicated for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting physiological data via 12lead ECG Analysis, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The 12-lead ECG Analysis feature is indicated for use on adults (> 18 years of age).

    The Propaq M system is indicated for the remote display of physiological data displayed on connected Propaq M systems via the Web Console feature, including electrocardiogram (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature, and heart rate.

    The Propaq M Mobile Streaming Client Application is intended for use by trained medical personnel familiar with basic monitoring, vital sign assessment, and emergency cardiac care in order to remotely view near real-time patient and device data transmitted from connected Propaq M devices. It requires a clinician at the patient's side next to the Propaq M device. The information streamed to the client application helps the remote clinician make decisions on patient care supplemental to the clinician on site with the patient. Important: The remote clinician should not use Mobile Streaming as a primary diagnostic device, but instead use the data to consult with the clinician at the patient side.

    Device Description

    The proposed Propaq M is a portable monitor designed for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic monitoring and vital signs assessment. In the currently cleared configuration, the Propaq M provides monitoring capabilities for ECG, Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpO2), Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP). End Tidal CO2, Temperature, and Respiration. The device is powered by an auxiliary power supply or an easily replaced battery pack that is quickly recharged in the device when it is connected to the auxiliary power supply.

    With the current application, we propose a revision to the Propaq M device software to introduce Mobile Streaming Client (MSC) Software Application. The proposed MSC Application is a software application used in adjunct to the Propaq M device. It is intended for use by trained medical personnel familiar with basic monitoring, vital sign assessment, and emergency cardiac care in order to remotely view patient and device data transmitted from a connected Propaq M device.

    Use of MSC requires a clinician at the patient's side next to the Propaq M device. The information streamed to the client application helps a remote clinician make decisions on patient care supplemental to the decisions made by the clinician on site with the patient. The MSC Application is a software application separate from the Propaq M device and its software. The remote clinician(s) utilize the client application from a desktop computer that allows them to remotely view the streamed data in real-time from active ZOLL Propag M devices in the field. MSC is a server-based application viewed through a web browser via the MSC Website.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the ZOLL Propaq M device (K180482) focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ZOLL Propaq XM, K121367) for various monitoring capabilities and, specifically for this submission, the introduction of a Mobile Streaming Client (MSC) software application.

    Based on the provided text, the document states: "Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence." This means that the submission does not contain clinical studies demonstrating the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria through patient data. Instead, non-clinical evidence was primarily used to establish substantial equivalence, particularly for the software modifications related to the Mobile Streaming Client.

    Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria and studies (like sample size for test sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance with metrics like sensitivity/specificity, and ground truth for training sets) are not present in this document because a clinical study of that nature was not conducted nor deemed necessary for this 510(k) submission.

    However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical evidence provided.


    Description of Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Non-Clinical Evidence)

    Since a clinical study with explicit acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance is not detailed, the "acceptance criteria" here refer to the successful completion of verification and validation activities and compliance with recognized standards for the software and device safety. The device performance is described in terms of meeting these engineering and regulatory requirements.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Feature/Study/StandardAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Software V&VMeets functional requirements and performance specifications, commensurate with a "major" level of concern for safety."Extensive performance testing in the form of the software verification and system level validation ensured that the Propaq M performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications."
    Safety TestingCompliance with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards."The device was evaluated and found to be in compliance with IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-8, IEC 60601-2-25, ISO 80601-2-61 and other applicable particular standards."
    Electrical Safety & EMCProposed software-only change does not impact EMC and Electrical Safety."The Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety aspect of the Propaq M device has not been impacted by the proposed change."
    Usability TestingAppropriate usability activities conducted, including assessment of primary operating functions, intended users, use scenarios, and corresponding use-related hazards."Usability evaluation was conducted to determine the appropriate usability activities for the Propaq M Mobile Streaming Client Application. As part of this process the primary operating functions, intended users and use scenarios and corresponding use related hazards were assessed."

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

    • Not Applicable. The document explicitly states, "Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence," so there isn't a "test set" in the context of clinical diagnostic performance. The testing mentioned (Software V&V, safety, usability) would involve various internal test cases and scenarios rather than a clinical patient data set.

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

    • Not Applicable. No clinical ground truth was established by experts for a test set in this submission.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not Applicable. No clinical test set requiring expert adjudication was described.

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

    • No. An MRMC study was not conducted or mentioned in this submission.

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

    • Not Applicable. While the Mobile Streaming Client (MSC) is a software application, the submission does not provide specific standalone performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) that would typically be associated with an AI algorithm's diagnostic capability. The MSC's function is for remote viewing of data, not independent diagnosis, and the document emphasizes: "Important: The remote clinician should not use Mobile Streaming as a primary diagnostic device, but instead use the data to consult with the clinician at the patient side."

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Engineering Specifications and Regulatory Standards. For the software verification and validation, the ground truth would be the predefined functional requirements and performance specifications of the device. For safety and EMC, the ground truth is compliance with the recognized international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 80601 series). For usability, the ground truth would be successful completion of defined usability tasks and mitigation of identified hazards.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not Applicable. The submission does not describe an AI/machine learning model that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense for diagnostic performance.

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

    • Not Applicable. As no training set for an AI/ML model for diagnostic performance is mentioned, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable to this document.

The Propaq MD is a light weight, portable device designed to be used by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic monitoring, vital sign assessment and emergency cardiac care. As in its previous configuration, the Propaq MD combines the functions of an ECG monitor, manual defibrillator, external transcutaneous pacer, pulse oximeter, non-invasive blood pressure monitor, invasive pressure monitor, respiration rate monitor and temperature monitor. Functions are offered as options and functions can be configured to meet the needs of a particular application. Additionally, the proposed configuration adds the following features: Semi-automatic external defibrillation function (AED) Mode, Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm, ECG Life Threatening Alarms, Expanded Data Logging capabilities.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the ZOLL Propaq MD, based on the provided text:

    Important Note: The provided 510(k) summary (K112761) from 2012 focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and performance study results for the newly added features like the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm. FDA 510(k) submissions for substantial equivalence often refer to the predicate device's performance for new features, or use a general statement about performance and safety testing. Therefore, the information directly addressing specific quantitative acceptance criteria and detailed study designs for the new features is limited in this document.


    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Given the nature of a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, specific quantitative acceptance criteria for the newly added features (e.g., specific sensitivity/specificity for the 12-Lead ECG Interpretation) are not explicitly stated in this document. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are generally implied to be that the device performs as well as the predicate devices and meets its functional requirements and performance specifications.

    The document claims:

    • "Extensive performance testing ensures that the proposed ZOLL Propaq MD performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications."
    • "Safety testing assures that the device complies with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards."

    For the purpose of this analysis, I will infer the performance for the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm feature by noting that the algorithm itself was a previously cleared device (K032145). In a typical 510(k) for an integrated component, the performance of the integrated component would usually be established in its own prior submission or validated against its established performance. The current K112761 document doesn't re-detail the specific performance of that algorithm in this submission.

    Feature / MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Implied)
    General Device PerformancePerforms as well as predicate devices and meets functional requirements and performance specifications. Compliance with safety standards."Extensive performance testing ensures that the proposed ZOLL Propaq MD performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications. Safety testing assures that the device complies with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards."
    Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive AlgorithmSubstantially equivalent to the performance demonstrated in K032145.Integrated the previously cleared Inovise Audicor 12-Lead Interpretive algorithm (K032145), implying its prior demonstrated performance is maintained.
    AED Mode Performance (Semi-automatic)Substantially equivalent to the performance of predicate devices (ZOLL Propaq MD K100654, ZOLL E Series K072923) in delivering defibrillation in a semi-automatic manner.Functions as an AED, requiring operator control for shock delivery, consistent with previously cleared devices.
    ECG Life Threatening AlarmsFunctional and reliable alarming as per industry standards and predicate devices.Added as a feature; implicitly meets functional specifications.
    Expanded Data Logging capabilitiesFunctional and reliable data logging.Added as a feature; implicitly meets functional specifications.

    Study Details for K112761:

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

      • The document does not specify a separate "test set" for the newly added features of the ZOLL Propaq MD (K112761). The focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (K100654, K072923, and K032145).
      • For the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm, its original 510(k) (K032145) would detail the specific test set and provenance used to establish its performance. This information is not present in the K112761 summary.
      • The document implies that "extensive performance testing" was conducted on the integrated device, but no specifics about sample size or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are provided for this new submission.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

      • Not specified within the K112761 document for the additional features. This information would typically be detailed in the original submission for the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm (K032145) if expert review was part of its ground truth establishment.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not specified within the K112761 document. Again, this would be part of the performance evaluation for the underlying Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm (K032145) at the time of its original clearance.
    4. 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 is mentioned for the new features in this 510(k) summary (K112761). The submission is based on substantial equivalence, not a clinical effectiveness study of human-AI collaboration.
    5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • For the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm, its performance was established as a standalone algorithm in its own original 510(k) (K032145). The current submission integrates this pre-cleared standalone algorithm. The K112761 document notes that the "interpretations of ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data," indicating it's an assistive tool, not a diagnostic replacement.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • Not specified within the K112761 document for the new features. For the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm, the ground truth would have been established during its original clearance (K032145), likely using expert cardiologists' consensus readings of ECGs, potentially correlated with clinical outcomes or other diagnostic tests depending on the specific conditions the algorithm interprets.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not specified within the K112761 document. The training set size for the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm would be found in its original 510(k) submission (K032145).
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not specified within the K112761 document. This information would have been part of the original submission for the Inovise Audicor 12-Lead ECG Interpretive Algorithm (K032145), likely involving expert review and annotation of ECGs.

    Summary of Approach for K112761:

    This 510(k) submission (K112761) demonstrates substantial equivalence by stating that the expanded ZOLL Propaq MD (with new features) is comparable to:

    • The previous version of the Propaq MD (K100654) for most functions.
    • The ZOLL E Series (K072923) for AED functionality.
    • The Inovise Audicor 12-lead Interpretive algorithm (K032145) for the 12-Lead ECG interpretation feature.

    For device modifications or integration of pre-cleared components like this, the focus of the 510(k) is often on ensuring that the integration does not negatively impact the performance, safety, or effectiveness established by the predicate devices. Detailed performance studies for the integrated algorithm are typically covered in its original 510(k) submission (K032145 in this case), not re-detailed in subsequent integrations unless significant modifications to the algorithm or its intended use are made. The current document asserts that "Extensive performance testing ensures that the proposed ZOLL Propaq MD performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications," but does not provide details of these tests.

    Intended Use

    The Propaq MD is intended for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic monitoring, vital sign assessment, emergency cardiac care, and the use of the Propaq MD. The Propaq MD is also intended for use by (or on the order of) physicians at the scene of an emergency or in a hospital emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac care unit, or other similar areas of a hospital. The usage may be in an ambulance or at the scene of an emergency. It is also intended to be used during the transport of patients. The Propaq MD will be used primarily on patients experiencing symptoms of cardiac arrest or in post trauma situation. It may also be used whenever it is required to monitor any of those functions that are included (as options) in the device. The Propag MD unit can be used on pediatric patients (as described in the following table) and on adult patients (21 years of age or older) with and without heart dysfunction.

    Manual Defibrillation: Use of the Propaq MD in the manual mode for external and internal defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by: Unconsciousness, Absence of breathing, Absence of pulse. This product should be used only by qualified medical personnel for converting ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm or other cardiac rhythms capable of producing hemodynamically significant heart beats. The unit can also be used for synchronized cardioversion of certain atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. Qualified medical personnel must decide when synchronized cardioversion is appropriate.

    ECG Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-Lead ECG waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator.

    External Transcutaneous Pacing: This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation. The purposes of pacing include: Resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia of any etiology; As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be expected; Suppression of tachycardia; Pediatric pacing.

    Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring: The Propag MD is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg.

    Temperature Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set by the user.

    Sp02 Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor pulse rate and oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made non-invasively at remote sites such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, bridge of nose, etc.

    Respiration Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor.

    CO2 Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate.

    Invasive Pressure Monitoring: The Propaq MD is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contraindications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply.

    Device Description

    The ZOLL Propaq MD was cleared by the agency under 510(k) application K100654 as a multi-parameter monitor / defibrillator / external transcutaneous pacer with the following capabilities: 3, 5 and 12-Lead ECG, pulse oximetery, non-invasive blood pressure, invasive blood pressures, CO2, temperature, data recording and printing. The device is designed for use by trained medical personnel in both out-of-hospital and inhospital applications. The proposed modification adds a filter (SmartCuf) to the existing NIBP algorithm that uses the existing ECG QRS detection to qualify the pressure pulses used in the device NIBP measurement.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the ZOLL Propaq MD (K102468) describes a modification to an existing device (K100654), specifically the addition of a filter (SmartCuf) to the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) algorithm. The summary does not include detailed acceptance criteria or a specific study proving the device meets those criteria with numerical performance data. Instead, it relies on substantial equivalence and compliance with a recognized industry standard for the NIBP feature.

    Here's an analysis based on the information given, highlighting what is present and what is missing:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Feature/ParameterAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    NIBP (with SmartCuf filter)Compliance with AAMI SP10 recognized industry standard."Extensive performance testing ensures that Propaq MD with the Smartcuf feature performs as well as the indicated predicate device and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications. AAMI SP10 testing assures the device NIBP option with the SmartCuf feature continues to comply with the recognized industry standard."
    ECG, Defibrillation, Pacing, etc."technological characteristics and meets the same specifications of the predicate Propaq MD (K100654)"Implicitly meets the performance and functional requirements of the predicate device (K100654), as the SmartCuf modification only affects NIBP.

    Comments: The document states that the NIBP with SmartCuf feature continues to comply with AAMI SP10. It does not provide specific numerical criteria from AAMI SP10 (e.g., mean difference, standard deviation) or the actual measured performance data against those criteria. For other functionalities, the claim is substantial equivalence to the predicate, implying they meet the same (unspecified in this document) performance criteria as the predicate.


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

    This information is not provided in the document. The general statement "Extensive performance testing" does not include details on sample size, data type (retrospective/prospective), or country of origin for any test data.


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

    This information is not provided in the document. Given that the primary performance claim relates to an NIBP algorithm's compliance with a standard, it's less likely to involve expert reviewers in the same way an image analysis device would. The "ground truth" for NIBP standards typically involves direct arterial measurements.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided in the document. Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are typically used when combining expert opinions, which is not indicated here.


    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 or at least not described in this document. This type of study is more common for diagnostic imaging AI, comparing human performance with and without AI assistance. The described modification is a filter for an NIBP algorithm.


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

    Yes, implicitly. The context of "AAMI SP10 testing" for an NIBP algorithm suggests a standalone evaluation of the algorithm's accuracy against a reference standard, without direct human-in-the-loop intervention during the measurement process. The SmartCuf filter modifies the NIBP algorithm itself.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the NIBP algorithm, the ground truth would typically be invasive arterial blood pressure measurements. While not explicitly stated as "invasive arterial measurements," compliance with AAMI SP10 for NIBP inherently requires comparison against such a gold standard. For predicate equivalence claims, the ground truth would be that established for the predicate device.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not provided in the document. As the SmartCuf is described as a "filter" added to an existing NIBP algorithm, it's unclear if "training data" in the machine learning sense was used, or if it's a rule-based or signal processing modification. If it's a rule-based filter, a distinct training set might not apply in the same way.


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

    This information is not provided in the document. If a training set was used, the method for establishing its ground truth (e.g., against invasive arterial measurements) is not detailed.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on the acceptance criteria and the study details:

    This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for the Zoll Propaq M Monitor. It approves the marketing of the device based on its substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices. It does not contain information about a study conducted to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner typically described for AI/ML device evaluations.

    The information provided describes the intended use and indications for use for various monitoring functions, and mentions patient populations. However, it does not include data from a performance study comparing the device's output to defined acceptance criteria. This type of regulatory submission (510(k) premarket notification) for a cardiac monitor typically relies on verification and validation testing demonstrating the device meets its own specifications, rather than a large-scale clinical study for performance metrics like sensitivity and specificity against a ground truth as would be seen for an AI/ML diagnostic or screening tool.

    Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be filled from the provided text because the document does not describe the kind of study implied by the prompt.

    Here's what can be extracted and what cannot:


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

    • Cannot provide this from the text. The document describes the device's intended functions (ECG monitoring, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, heart rate alarming) and its patient populations (newborn to adult). It does not present specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or precision) against numerical acceptance criteria.

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

    • Cannot provide this from the text. The document does not describe a clinical test set or its sample size.

    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)

    • Cannot provide this from the text. The document does not describe the establishment of ground truth by experts for a test set.

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

    • Cannot provide this from the text. The document does not describe a test set or its adjudication.

    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 such study was done. This device is a cardiac monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. The document describes a medical device for vital sign monitoring, not a system that assists human readers in interpreting images or data. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is not applicable and not mentioned.

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

    • Not applicable as described for AI/ML. The Propaq M is a physical medical device (monitor) that performs measurements and displays data. While it contains algorithms for signal processing and parameter calculation, the concept of "standalone algorithm" performance in the context of AI/ML is not directly relevant here in the way it would be for a diagnostic algorithm. The device itself is "standalone" in its function as a monitor, but the document does not detail validation of its internal algorithms in isolation from the hardware.

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

    • Cannot provide this from the text in the context of a performance study. For a cardiac monitor, "ground truth" would typically relate to the accuracy of the physical sensors and internal signal processing against known standards or reference devices (e.g., an ECG simulator, a calibrated pressure transducer). However, the document does not detail these technical performance tests or the "ground truth" used for them.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Cannot provide this from the text. This device is a traditional medical monitor, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set."

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

    • Cannot provide this from the text. This device is a traditional medical monitor, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set."

    Summary of what the document does provide:

    • Device Name: Zoll Propaq M Monitor
    • Regulatory Class: Class II
    • Product Codes: DRT, DXN, DSK, CCK, DQA
    • Intended Users: Trained medical personnel, physicians at emergency scenes or in hospital settings (emergency room, ICU, CCU, etc.).
    • Usage Environments: Ambulance, emergency scene, patient transport, hospital.
    • Patient Populations: Newborn (neonate, birth-1 month), Infant (1 month-2 years), Child (2-12 years), Adolescent (12-21 years), and Adult (21 years or older). Used on patients with and without heart dysfunction.
    • Specific Functions (Indications for Use):
      • ECG Monitoring: Monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG waveform and heart rate; alarm for heart rate outside operator-set limits.
      • Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring: Make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate using an inflatable cuff; alarm if either parameter is outside user-set limits.

    This document serves as a regulatory clearance for a traditional medical device based on substantial equivalence, not a detailed performance study report for an AI/ML diagnostic or screening algorithm against specific clinical acceptance criteria.

    Device Description

    The ZOLL Propaq MD is a multi-parameter monitor / defibrillator / external transcutaneous pacer which include the following capabilities: 3, 5 and 12-Lead ECG, pulse oximetery, non-invasive blood pressure, invasive blood pressures. CO2. temperature, data recording and printing. Propag MD has been designed for use by trained medical personnel in both out-of-hospital and in-hospital applications. The design is light weight and easy to carry for transport situations.

    AI/ML Overview

    This submission describes the ZOLL Propaq MD, a multi-parameter monitor/defibrillator/external transcutaneous pacer. The document focuses on demonstrating the device's substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices rather than providing a detailed study proving its performance against specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, the information requested for a study that explicitly proves device performance against acceptance criteria is largely not present in the provided text.

    However, based on the information provided, we can infer some details and explicitly state what is missing:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria or quantitative performance metrics for the ZOLL Propaq MD. Instead, it states:

    Feature/FunctionAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Overall Performance and SafetyMeets all functional requirements and performance specifications; complies with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards."Extensive performance testing ensures that Propaq MD performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications. Safety testing assures the device complies with applicable sections of recognized industry and safety standards." (No specific metrics or studies are detailed in the provided text).
    Substantial Equivalence to Predicate DevicesFeatures and functions are substantially equivalent to predicate devices."Propaq MD utilizes the same features and functions to the indicated predicate units" (ZOLL R Series, Welch Allyn PIC50, Welch Allyn Propaq 200 Series, Welch Allyn Spot Ultra, and Oridion Capnostream20). "The information provided in this 510k demonstrates that the Propaq MD's features and functions are substantially equivalent to that of the indicated commercially distributed units with regard to performance, safety and effectiveness." (No specific metrics or comparative study results are provided).

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

    This information is not provided in the text. The document refers to "extensive performance testing" but does not detail the sample size (e.g., number of patients, number of test cases) or the provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature) of the data used for this testing.

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

    This information is not provided in the text. There is no mention of expert involvement in establishing ground truth for any test set data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    This information is not provided in the text.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    This information is not applicable/provided. The ZOLL Propaq MD is a multi-parameter monitor/defibrillator/pacer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretive device for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance is irrelevant to this device type.

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

    This information is not explicitly provided in the context of an "algorithm only" performance study. The document states "extensive performance testing ensures that Propaq MD performs as well as the indicated predicate devices and meets all of its functional requirements and performance specifications." This implies testing of the device's integrated functionality, which may include internal algorithms, but it does not differentiate between "standalone" algorithm performance and overall device performance with human interaction.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    This information is not explicitly provided in the text. Since the device monitors vital signs and performs defibrillation/pacing, the "ground truth" would implicitly be the actual physiological states (e.g., true heart rate, SpO2 levels, CO2 levels, presence of fibrillation, demand for pacing) as measured by reference standards or other validated methods during performance testing. However, the document does not specify these methods.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    This information is not provided in the text. The device is a medical device, not a machine learning algorithm that typically requires a distinct "training set" in the way an AI diagnostic tool would. Development and validation would involve engineering verification and validation testing, but the concept of a "training set" as used in AI development is not directly applicable here or mentioned.

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

    This information is not provided in the text, as the concept of an AI "training set" and its ground truth is not discussed for this device.
