The Airvo 3 is intended to provide high flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases for administration to spontaneously breathing infant, child, adolescent and adult patients in hospitals and sub-acute facilities. It adds heat and moisture to the flow of air, or blended air/medical oxygen mixture, and assures the user of the air/oxygen mixture using an integrated oxygen analyzer and visual display. The flow may be from 2 to 70 L/min depending on the patient interface. The Airvo 3 provides high flow gases with simultaneous oxygen delivery to spontaneously breathing patients with or without bypassed upper airways in hospitals and sub-acute facilities.

The Airvo 3 provides high flow gases with simultaneous oxygen delivery through nasal cannula interfaces to augment the breathing of spontaneously breathing patients suffering from respiratory distress and/or hypoxemia in the hospital setting. The Airvo 3 is not intended to provide total ventilatory requirements and is not for use during field transport.

The F&P Airvo 3 is a high-flow device comprised of heated humidifier with integrated flow source, intended to treat spontaneously breathing patients, pediatrics and adults, who would benefit from receiving high flow, warmed and humidified entrained air and oxygen (if required).

The F&P Airvo 3 can be reprocessed for use on multiple patient interfaces, heated breathing tube, and water chambers are disposable and are for single patient use only, however, the internal outlet elbow is high-level-disinfected for multi-patient use.

The F&P Airvo 3 is comprised of two main connected functional units: the blower and the humidifier.

The blower is a motorized fan assembly that provides air flow. The flow is adjustable, where a separate source of oxygen independently controlled can be input and mixed with the entrained air. The blower assembly output connects directly to a humidification chamber at the front of the device.

The second functional unit of the F&P Airvo 3 is a heated passover humidifier. The water is contained in a humidification chamber positioned on a heater plate at the front of the unit. The gas is warmed and humidified in the chamber to the dew point set temperature, transported through the heated breathing tube and delivered to the patient through the selected interface.

The provided text pertains to the FDA 510(k) clearance of the F&P Airvo 3 device, a high flow humidified oxygen delivery device. It outlines the regulatory process and demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on non-clinical performance data and adherence to recognized standards.

However, the document does not contain information regarding:

• Specific acceptance criteria values and reported device performance in a table for each performance test.
• Sample sizes used for test sets, their data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective).
• Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment.
• Adjudication methods.
• Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
• Standalone algorithm performance studies.
• The specific type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data), if applicable to this type of device.
• Sample size for training sets.
• How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document primarily focuses on non-clinical (bench) testing and adherence to recognized standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than clinical study results with human participants or AI performance metrics.

Therefore, I can provide the available information from the document, but many of your requested points cannot be answered based on the input.

Available Information from the Document:

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

The document states that comparative performance testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence and to meet the Special Controls requirements of 21 CFR 868.5454. It lists the categories of performance testing but does not provide a table with specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed reported device performance values for each.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The performance data summarized relates to non-clinical (bench) tests rather than human clinical studies.

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)

This information is not provided in the document. The device is a medical equipment (high flow humidified oxygen delivery device), not an imaging or diagnostic AI device that typically relies on expert ground truth for interpretation.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The F&P Airvo 3 is a medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation tool for human readers.

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

This information is not provided in the document. This is not an AI algorithm but a physical medical device.

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

This information is not explicitly stated in detail. For physical performance tests (like blending accuracy, flow rate accuracy, thermal stability, humidification output), the "ground truth" would implicitly be defined by the measurement standards and calibrated reference equipment used during bench testing. For biocompatibility, it's adherence to ISO standards; for electrical safety, adherence to IEC/ANSI AAMI standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided in the document. This device does not appear to involve machine learning or AI models with "training sets" in the conventional sense.

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

This information is not provided in the document. As noted above, this type of device does not typically have "training sets" or "ground truth" established in this manner.

Ask a specific question about this device

The HVT 2.0 system provides high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) with simultaneous warmed and humidified respiratory gas delivery to augment breathing of spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patients (5 kg and up) suffering from respiratory distress and/or hypoxemia in the hospital setting, via a small bore nasal cannula. HVT 2.0 is not intended to provide total ventilatory requirements of the patient and not for use during field transport. The flow rates may be from 5 to 45 liters per minute (BTPS).

The HVT 2.0 System is comprised of hardware containing software, and single use disposables that are designed to deliver the same High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) as the Vapotherm Precision Flow HVNI.

The HVT 2.0 system consists of the HVT 2.0 hardware containing software, a Disposable Patient Circuit (DPC), and a patient interface (nasal cannula). The HVT 2.0 system utilizes an integrated internal blower to deliver warmed and humidified breathing gas at flows 5 to 45 L/min (BTPS) to spontaneously breathing patients, without the need of wall air or any pressurized air source. The addition of an external oxygen source (wall or tank for QAV indication) enables FiO2 delivery from 21% to 100%. The device incorporates a blender and flow sensors that allow the oxygen percentage and total gas flow to be set independently.

The HVT 2.0 main hardware device contains all the electrical and electronic components including the electronic blender and flow controllers, and sensors to monitor the disposable patient circuit. The main hardware device has no water pathways and the gas pathway only contains dry gas at room temperature, and therefore does not require internal cleaning or disinfection.

The available text does not describe an acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets said criteria in the format requested. The document is a 510(k) summary for the HVT 2.0 device, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study against predefined acceptance criteria for AI or automated system performance.

Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted and what is provided instead:

• 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This is not present. The document includes a comparison table between the predicate and subject device (HVT 2.0) for various characteristics like Indications for Use, Patient Population, Flow Range, etc. While it lists "Temperature Accuracy" as "±2°C" and "Oxygen Accuracy" as "±2%", these are device specifications and not explicitly presented as "acceptance criteria" for a study in the context of an AI/algorithm performance. It then states "SAME" for the subject device, implying it meets these for equivalence.
• 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable. The document discusses "bench / performance testing" and "comparative performance testing" but does not detail sample sizes for these tests in a way that would be relevant to a "test set" for an algorithm. There is no mention of data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
• 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): Not applicable. This document does not describe the use of experts to establish a "ground truth" for a test set, as it does not involve the evaluation of an algorithm's diagnostic or predictive performance.
• 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for the same reasons as point 3.
• 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 summary does not describe any MRMC studies or AI assistance for human readers. The device (HVT 2.0) is a high-flow humidified oxygen delivery device, a physical medical device, not an AI or software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) that typically undergoes such evaluations.
• 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is not an algorithm. Its software is mentioned for verification and validation but not as a standalone performance entity.
• 7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable.
• 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for an algorithm.
• 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Summary of what is provided:

The document describes the HVT 2.0, a High Flow Humidified Oxygen Delivery Device, and its comparison to a predicate device (Precision Flow HVNI). The main point is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" of the HVT 2.0 to the predicate device, not to prove algorithm performance against specific criteria.

The "studies" mentioned are non-clinical performance and bench testing, including:

• Biocompatibility testing (leveraged from prior testing, compliant with ISO 10993-1)
• Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (compliant with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2)
• Alarms testing (compliant with IEC 60601-1-8)
• RFID testing (compliant with AIM 7351731)
• Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis (compliant with FDA guidance for software and ISO 14971:2019)
• Bench/Performance Testing, including:
  • Precision Flow and HVT 2.0 Comparison Testing (to demonstrate same HVNI technological characteristics and performance)
  • Oxygen accuracy/Blender Performance
  • Temperature accuracy/Thermal Stability
  • Flow rate accuracy
  • Humidification output (ISO 80601-2-74)
  • Patient contacting surface temperature/Thermal Safety
  • Volume of liquid exiting the humidification chamber outlet
  • Continuous use (Use Lifespan)
  • Operating environment
  • Nurse call compatibility
  • Usability/Human Factors
  • Cleaning Validation (for hardware)

The conclusion is that "Any differences in technological characteristics of the devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness based on the performance testing, further supported by the prior clearance of the Reference Device HVT 2.0, cleared under K203357. The devices are substantially equivalent."
