The NxStage Connected Health System is for use by chronic hemodialysis patients remotely in combination with the NxStage System One and a variety of devices such as blood pressure monitor and weight scale upon the prescription of a licensed physician or healthcare practitioner. The Connected Health System serves as the data repository and communication link to the server software which is utilized by the healthcare facility. The healthcare facility may include the physician or licensed healthcare practitioner, other clinicians, or a disease management center.
The purpose of the system is to collect, accumulate, store and transmit medical information such as flowsheet data, vital signs, blood pressure, weight and dialysis data from the patient and transmit these results to their healthcare practitioner at another facility. The system also provides online labeling, treatment status, trending and supports education and messaging.
The device is not intended to provide time sensitive data or alarms and does not control the System One Cycler. This system may not be used as a substitute for direct medical intervention or emergency care.
Interpretation of the information collected and transmitted requires clinical judgment by an experienced medical professional.
The NxStage Connected Health system collects, stores, and transmits medical information such as flowsheet data, vital signs, blood pressure, weight, and dialysis treatment data from the patient and transmits these results to their healthcare practitioner at another facility. The system also provides online labeling, treatment status, trending and supports education, has the ability to add picture attachments through the notes in a flowsheet, and the ability for the Clinician to remotely access snapshots of patient's treatment data while the treatment is taking place.
The internet server receives the patient data from the home setting or remote location where it is made available to the healthcare facility to track, graph, trend, note variances, set alert criteria, and receive alerts when parameters are outside the criteria set.

The document does not specify a sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical performance evaluation (like for an AI diagnostic algorithm). The testing described is non-clinical bench testing for functional performance, software readiness, design review, and usability. Therefore, concepts like country of origin for data or retrospective/prospective study design are not applicable here.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable to this submission. The device is a data collection and transmission system, not a diagnostic tool that requires ground truth established by experts for performance evaluation. The "ground truth" for this type of device would be its ability to accurately and reliably perform its stated functions.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable to this submission. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies involving expert reviews for diagnostic accuracy, which is not the type of study presented for this device.
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a data management system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so a study of human readers improving with AI assistance is not relevant to its function.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done
The device itself is a "standalone" system in terms of its ability to collect, store, and transmit data without continuous human intervention during the data transfer process. However, this is not a standalone diagnostic algorithm performance study. The system's function is to facilitate data flow to human healthcare practitioners for their interpretation.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For this device, the "ground truth" is its functional correctness and reliability in performing its stated tasks: collecting, storing, and transmitting the specified medical information.

The NxStage Dosing Calculator is intended to provide chronic hemodialysis prescription options with the NxStage System One and Cartridge with pre-attached dialyzer based on patient and treatment parameters. With a specified set of algorithms, it automatically performs calculations that are typically done by a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner. The algorithms used have been established and documented in scientific literature.
The NxStage Dosing Calculator is a software modeling program designed to assist physicians and licensed healthcare practitioners in prescribing chronic hemodialysis therapy with the NxStage System One and NxStage Cartridge with pre-attached dialyzer. It allows physicians and licensed healthcare practitioners to determine a range of appropriate treatment frequencies, treatment durations, and therapy fluid volumes. The program incorporates formulas that have been published in peer reviewed journals of medicine and models treatment parameters for a range of possible treatment frequencies, volumes, and durations. This is a tool only and does not replace the need for the physician or licensed healthcare practitioner to make an independent determination of the therapy best suited for the patient.
The provided text describes a software device called the "NxStage Dosing Calculator" but offers limited details about specific acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving its performance. The information focuses more on the regulatory submission process and the device's intended use and technological characteristics rather than a rigorous performance evaluation with quantitative metrics.
Here's an analysis based on the available text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Software readiness | Met |
Software design review | Met |
Usability | Met |
Adequately designed for labeled indications for use | Documented as such through performance, verification, and validation testing. |
Substantially equivalent to predicate device | Documented as such through performance, verification, and validation testing. |
Suitable for the labeled indications for use | Documented as such through performance, verification, and validation testing. |
Study Details
The text indicates that "Performance, verification and validation testing was conducted to characterize performance of the proposed device. This included testing for software readiness, software design review, and usability." However, it does not provide specific details about the methodology, sample sizes, or results of these tests beyond stating that "All predetermined acceptance criteria were met."
Therefore, many requested details cannot be extracted from the provided document.
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: Not specified.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. It's likely that a "test set" in the traditional sense of clinical data might not have been used, as this is a Dosing Calculator (software) which performs calculations based on established algorithms. The testing likely focused on the accuracy of these calculations and the software's functionality and usability, rather than real-world patient outcomes.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not specified. Given the nature of a dosing calculator based on published algorithms, the "ground truth" would likely be derived from the mathematical accuracy of the implemented formulas rather than expert consensus on individual cases.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not specified.
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
- Not applicable. This is a dosing calculator, not an AI for image interpretation or diagnosis requiring human reader comparison. The device is designed to assist physicians in calculations, not to be compared against human diagnostic performance or to augment human interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Yes, implicitly. The device itself is a standalone software that performs calculations. The testing mentioned ("software readiness, software design review, and usability") would inherently evaluate the algorithm's performance and the software's functionality without human intervention in the calculation process. Its output (prescription options) is then used by a human healthcare practitioner.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for a dosing calculator is primarily the accuracy and correctness of the mathematical algorithms implemented, as established and documented in scientific literature. The device "automatically performs calculations that are typically done by a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner" using "algorithms that have been published in peer reviewed journals of medicine." Therefore, adherence to these established algorithms and correct computational output would constitute the ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device is a rule-based system based on established algorithms, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the typical sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as it is not a machine learning model requiring a training set. The algorithms themselves are the "ground truth" derived from scientific literature.

The Fresenius iCare Monitoring System is a computer-based hemodialysis treatment monitoring system for adjunctive use with the Fresenius 2008 series dialysate delivery system when the patient is attended by trained personnel.
This monitoring system is contraindicated as the sole method of monitoring a patient during hemodialysis.
The Fresenius iCare Monitoring System is a computer-based hemodialysis treatment monitoring system. It is an updated version of the Fresenius FDS08.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Fresenius iCare Monitoring System". This document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Fresenius FDS08) rather than detailing a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria through quantitative metrics.
Therefore, many of the requested categories cannot be filled as the information is not present in the provided text. The document primarily asserts "equivalence" and "safety and effectiveness" without providing the underlying data from studies that would demonstrate these claims in a detailed, quantitative manner.
Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be extracted from the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Not specified | Not specified |
Explanation: The document states that "The iCare Monitoring System validation rigorously tested the features of the Fresenius iCare System. The results of this testing indicate that the iCare System is safe and effective for its intended use." However, it does not provide any specific quantitative acceptance criteria or the measured performance of the device against those criteria (e.g., accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, or specific tolerances for monitored parameters). The focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
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: Not specified
- Data provenance: Not specified
Explanation: The document refers to "validation" and "rigorous testing" but does not detail the protocols, sample sizes, or nature of the test data used for these activities.
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)
- Number of experts: Not specified
- Qualifications of experts: Not specified
Explanation: There is no mention of experts being used to establish a "ground truth" in the context of performance evaluation for this monitoring system. The validation activities are generally expected to compare the device's output against known inputs or established reference methods, but the document does not elaborate on this.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Adjudication method: Not specified
Explanation: Since no details on expert-based ground truth establishment or comparative evaluations are provided, there is no mention of an adjudication method.
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
- MRMC study done: No
- Effect size of improvement: Not applicable
Explanation: The device is described as a "computer-based hemodialysis treatment monitoring system for adjunctive use." It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation system that would typically undergo an MRMC study comparing human performance with and without AI. It monitors parameters, and its safety relies on it being "attended by trained personnel" and not being the "sole method of monitoring."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone performance study done: Not explicitly detailed, but implied by the "validation rigorously tested the features" statement. However, no performance metrics are given.
Explanation: The document asserts the system's "safety and effectiveness for its intended use" based on its validation. This validation would inherently involve evaluating the algorithm's performance in monitoring. However, specific standalone performance metrics (e.g., accuracy of measurement, speed, or reliability under various conditions) are not disclosed in this summary. The device's intended use is adjunctive, meaning it's not designed to operate without human oversight.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Type of ground truth: Not specified
Explanation: The document does not detail how the accuracy or reliability of the monitoring system's measurements or alerts (which would constitute its "ground truth") were established during validation tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample size for training set: Not applicable (or not specified if the system involves machine learning).
Explanation: The device is described as a "computer-based hemodialysis treatment monitoring system." While computer-based systems can involve algorithms, the document doesn't indicate it's a machine learning or AI system that requires a distinct "training set" in the modern sense. It appears to be an update to an existing monitoring system, implying rule-based or deterministic algorithms rather than data-driven learning.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- How ground truth was established for training set: Not applicable.
Explanation: As above, if a training set was not explicitly used (as in an ML model), then the establishment of its ground truth is not relevant to this document.

High Range Peroxide™ Test Strip is intended for use as an efficacy test strip for measuring effective levels of peroxide in Renalin® disinfectant solution. Each time when the kidney unit is reprocessed with peroxide disinfectant solution such as Renalin® , the reprocessing solution should be monitored with the High Range Peroxide™ Test Strip to assure that Renaline concentration is 3% as it is intended to be. After the kidney is placed under storage until next use, the Renaling concentration in the disinfectant solution should be checked again before rinsing with the strip to assure that Renalins concentration has been maintained at 1% or higher. If the Renaling concentration drops below 1%, the kidney unit has to be either reprocessed or discarded.
High Range Peroxide™ Strip is a paper based dry chemistry reagent strip. It consists of a single reagent pad, 0.2x0.2 inch square, adhered to one end of a 0.2x2.5 inch plastic handle with a double sided adhesive. It is a self-contained, ready to use dip-andread reagent strip without additional reagent. The strip is packaged in 50 or 100's in bottles. Color blocks corresponding to Renalin8 concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 % are printed on the bottle label. Quantitative estimation of Renalink concentration can be made by comparing the strip color to the color blocks.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Stated or Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Qualitative detection of ≥1% Renalin concentration (equivalent to predicate device). | "[The IBT High Range Peroxide™ Test and Renalin Perassay™ 500 Test are] equally effective in detecting Positive, i.e., 1 % or higher, of Renalin® concentration in the kidney reprocessing solution." |
Quantitative measurement of Renalin concentration from 0.2% to 3.0%. | "The strip reactivity is modulated to provide a continuous reaction range with Renalin from 0.2 to 3.0 % or equivalent peroxide levels from 100 to 1,500 ppm. It can be used as a quantitative test for Renalink or other peroxide disinfectants." "Color blocks corresponding to Renalin® concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 % are printed on the bottle label. Quantitative estimation of Renalin® concentration can be made by comparing the strip color to the color blocks." |
Indication of effective Renalin concentration for kidney reprocessing (initially 3%, maintained at ≥1%). | Implied by intended use: The device is used "to assure that Renalin® concentration is 3% as it is intended to be" initially, and then "to assure that Renalin® concentration has been maintained at 1% or higher" during storage. The successful granting of 510(k) suggests the device meets this intended use. |
Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a reagent strip, not a detailed clinical study report. Therefore, the "reported device performance" is described qualitatively as part of a substantial equivalency argument rather than with specific statistical metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy percentages) which would be typical for more complex devices or software.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state a quantitative sample size for a "test set" in the context of a formal study with statistical reporting. The evaluation appears to be based on the chemical principle and a comparison to a predicate device.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated as "country of origin" or "retrospective/prospective." The comparison is a direct technological comparison and statement of equivalence rather than a field test with patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided. Given the nature of a chemical reagent strip, "ground truth" would likely refer to known, prepared concentrations of Renalin® solution, verified by analytical chemistry methods, rather than expert interpretation of clinical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically apply to studies where human interpretation of medical images or other complex data is involved. For a dip-and-read chemical strip, the "reading" is a visual comparison to color blocks.
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, an MRMC study was not conducted. This type of study is relevant to imaging devices or software where human readers interpret results, often with and without AI assistance. This device is a simple chemical reagent strip.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- This question is not applicable in the usual sense. The device is a "dip-and-read" reagent strip, meaning there is an inherent human "in-the-loop" visual comparison to color blocks. There is no automated algorithm that performs a standalone reading. The performance is the "human-in-the-loop" performance based on visual comparison.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- The ground truth would be based on known, prepared concentrations of Renalin® solution (or equivalent peroxide levels). These concentrations would be analytically verified to ensure accuracy. The document refers to "Renalin® concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 %" as the basis for the color blocks, implying these are the known target values for the comparison.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- This information is not provided and is generally not applicable for a simple chemical reagent strip of this nature. "Training set" typically refers to data used to train machine learning algorithms.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The "ground truth" for the development of the device (i.e., establishing the color scale for different concentrations) would have involved preparing solutions of known Renalin® concentrations and observing the color development on the strip.

However, the document does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria and study information typically found in a comprehensive medical device submission that would allow for a complete answer to your request.
Specifically, the document lacks:
- A table of acceptance criteria with reported device performance values.
- Details on sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or information about training sets.
- Information on experts used to establish ground truth, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies.
- Data regarding standalone algorithm performance or the type of ground truth used in a formal study.
Therefore, I cannot fully answer your request with the provided information.
However, based on the limited information about performance claims, I can infer what might be considered acceptance criteria based on its comparison to predicate devices, but this is a reconstruction and not explicitly stated in the document.
Inferred Potential Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence Claims):
Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (from text) |
---|---|---|
Residual Chlorine Detection | Detect 0.5 ppm or less of chlorine | Detect 0.5 ppm or less of chlorine. Can extend detection range to 1000 ppm or more (for high-level disinfection monitoring). |
Hydrogen Peroxide Detection | Detect 1.0 ppm of hydrogen peroxide | Detect 1.0 ppm of hydrogen peroxide. More sensitive to 0.5 ppm or less of hydrogen peroxide (compared to Renalin Strip). |
Hydrogen Peroxide Stability | Stable at room temperature (compared to predicate) | Stable at room temperature. |
Missing Information (Cannot be extracted from the provided text):
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not available.
- 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): Not available.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not available.
- 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: Not applicable (this is not an AI device or an imaging study requiring human reader performance).
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable (this is a chemical reagent strip, not an algorithm).
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not explicitly stated, but for chemical detection, the "ground truth" would typically be established by laboratory methods using known concentrations of chlorine or peroxide.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable (this is a chemical reagent strip, not a machine learning model requiring a training set).
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
