The CARESCAPE ONE is a multi-parameter physiological patient monitor intended for use in multiple areas and intrahospital transport within a professional healthcare facility.

The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for the monitoring of hemodynamic (including ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, and temperature), and respiratory (impedance respiration and CO2 airway gas) physiological parameters.

The CARESCAPE ONE provides ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate, temperature, impedance respiration, and CO2 airway gas parameter acquisition and monitoring.

The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients and on one patient at a time. The CARESCAPE ONE is indicated for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, or by personnel trained in the proper use of the equipment in a professional healthcare facility.

Contraindications for using CARESCAPE ONE:

The CARESCAPE ONE is not intended for use within a controlled MR environment.

CARESCAPE ONE is a new patient monitor device based on GE Healthcare predicate devices, the Patient Data Module (K071073) and the CARESCAPE B450 (K132533).

CARESCAPE ONE, with CARESCAPE Software version 3 belongs to the CARESCAPE V3 patient monitor family. The concept of the CARESCAPE ONE is to provide a flexible bedside monitor that can also be used during intra-hospital transport. The flexibility of the CARESCAPE ONE allows the user to configure the monitor's vital sign acquisition for only the parameters they require. This is achieved using plug and play Active Cable Modules (ACM) that connect via medical grade USB ports on the CARESCAPE ONE monitor. Note that the USB ports are not compatible with commercial USB items on the market due to a custom connector design. Each ACM is dedicated to measuring a particular parameter, including ECG/Respiration, Invasive Blood Pressure, Temperature, SpO2, or CO2. The only exception is the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement which does not require a separate ACM since the capability to measure NIBP is built-in to the CARESCAPE ONE monitor itself. The ACM's are CARESCAPE TEMP, CARESCAPE PRES, CARESCAPE ECG, CARESCAPE SpO2 (TruSignal), CARESCAPE SpO2 -Nellcor, CARESCAPE SpO2 - Masimo and CARESCAPE CO2 - LoFlo. CARESCAPE SpO2 - Nellcor, CARESCAPE SpO2 -Masimo, and CARESCAPE CO2 - LoFlo have been developed by their respective companies/manufacturers (OEM) for use with the CARESCAPE ONE. The technology from each OEM has received 510(k) clearance and is adapted to function with the CARESCAPE ONE. The OEM technologies are not new and are not a part of this submission, only their integration into the Parameters/Active Cable Modules for use with the CARESCAPE ONE is covered in this 510(k).

CARESCAPE ONE provides the users the acquired display values, waveforms, alarms and status messages in compact footprint monitor that runs on an internal battery as well as AC power when connected to the docking station.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the CARESCAPE ONE device, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a direct table of specific acceptance criteria with corresponding performance values for all features. However, it does highlight performance claims and comparisons for key components, specifically arrhythmia detection and SpO2.

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

• Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): The document references ANSI/AAMI EC57:1998 (R)2012. This standard specifies databases (e.g., AHA, MIT-BIH) that are used for testing arrhythmia algorithms. The specific sample size from these databases used for EK-Pro V14 testing is not explicitly stated in this 510(k) summary, but it would be derived from the standard's requirements.
  • Data Provenance: The databases mentioned in EC57 are typically retrospective, internationally recognized ECG databases. The exact country of origin for the data used for this specific EK-Pro V14 validation is not specified, but the standard's databases often compile data from various global sources.
• SpO2 (TruSignal V3): The document states a "controlled desaturation study." The sample size is not explicitly stated in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: A controlled desaturation study is a prospective clinical study designed to test pulse oximeter accuracy. The country of origin for this study is not specified.

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

• Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): When using standard databases like those referenced by ANSI/AAMI EC57, the ground truth (arrhythmia annotations) is typically established by multiple, highly experienced cardiologists or cardiac electrophysiologists. The exact number and qualifications for the original annotation of the standard databases are not specified in this document, as the standard itself defines these.
• SpO2 (TruSignal V3): For controlled desaturation studies, the "ground truth" for SpO2 is provided by a CO-oximeter measurement, which itself is a highly accurate laboratory method for oxygen saturation. This is an objective measurement rather than expert consensus. Therefore, "experts" in the traditional sense for establishing ground truth are not directly applicable here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): For standard databases, ground truth annotation often involves multiple experts reviewing and adjudicating discrepancies, sometimes with a "majority rules" or senior expert decision process. The specific adjudication method for the creation of the databases referenced by EC57 is not detailed in this summary, but would adhere to the methodologies defined by the creators of those databases.
• SpO2 (TruSignal V3): As the ground truth comes from CO-oximetry, an objective measurement, adjudication by experts is not applicable.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

• No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical studies of the CARESCAPE ONE device performance were not required to establish substantial equivalence." This indicates that human-in-the-loop performance with or without AI assistance was not assessed in this submission for primary equivalence.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done

• Yes, standalone performance was assessed for key algorithms:
  • EK-Pro V14 Arrhythmia Detection algorithm: Its performance was evaluated against the ANSI/AAMI EC57 standard, comparing it to the predicate's EK-Pro V13 algorithm. This is a standalone algorithm performance evaluation.
  • TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithm: Its accuracy was validated in a controlled desaturation study against CO-oximetry. This is also a standalone algorithm performance evaluation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Arrhythmia (EK-Pro V14): The ground truth would be expert consensus annotations of ECG waveforms from standard arrhythmia databases (e.g., those specified in ANSI/AAMI EC57).
• SpO2 (TruSignal V3): The ground truth was objective laboratory measurement using CO-oximetry in a controlled study. This is considered a gold standard for blood oxygen saturation.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for training the EK-Pro V14 arrhythmia detection algorithm or the TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithm. In 510(k) submissions, training set details (especially for existing, updated algorithms) are often not required to be as extensively disclosed as test set performance, particularly when demonstrating equivalence to a predicate.

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

• The document does not explicitly state how the ground truth for the training sets of the EK-Pro V14 or TruSignal V3 SpO2 algorithms was established. For complex algorithms like these, training data is typically meticulously annotated by a combination of clinical experts (for arrhythmia) or using highly accurate reference methods (for SpO2) and then verified. Again, in a 510(k) for an updated algorithm or component, the full developmental history and training data specifics may not be detailed if the focus is on demonstrating equivalent performance post-modifications.
