The ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System is composed of ESOTEST MULTI Monitor and ESOTEST MULTI Probe and is intended for the continuous detection, measurement and visualization (in °C) of esophageal temperature. The intended environments of use are operating rooms and interventional electrophysiology rooms. The ESOTEST MULTI Monitor must be used in conjunction with the ESOTEST MULTI Probe.

The role of esophageal temperature monitoring using this device in reducing the risk of cardiac ablation-related esophageal injury has not been established. The performance of the ESOTEST MULTI system in detecting esophageal temperature changes as a result of energy delivery during cardiac ablation procedures has not been evaluated.

The device is composed of the following cleared (K180047) system components:

• Monitor ESOTEST MULTI MONITOR
• Esophageal probe ESOTEST MULTI PROBE
• Patient cable ESOTEST MULTI PATIENT CABLE

The Adapter cable ESOTEST MULTI ADAPTER CABLE has been added to the system.

The ESOTEST MULTI MONITOR is a device for measuring the esophageal temperature through a sterile, single-use probe. This component, called ESOTEST MULTI PROBE, contains up to seven independent thermal sensors, each one consisting in T-type thermocouple soldered to a spherical steel electrode. The ESOTEST MULTI PATIENT CABLE connects the main unit of the monitor to the temperature probe and continuously converts to digital signals the analog voltages generated by the thermocouples. ESOTEST MULTI MONITOR is able to keep track of the esophageal temperature during clinical procedures which involve heating or cooling processes, with an accuracy of 0.3°C and a response time of 1s. The detected temperatures are visualized as numerical values, colored bars and scrolling plots. An integrated alarm system allows the operator to set 2 independent alarm thresholds, called "upper alarm threshold" and "lower alarm threshold". If any of the measured temperatures gets hotter than the upper threshold or colder than the lower threshold, ESOTEST MULTI MONITOR immediately emits sound and visual effects aimed at getting the attention of the operator. The measured temperatures and the alarm conditions can be stored in the internal memory of the device and examined at a later time on the monitor itself or on an external personal computer (after exporting the corresponding data to an USB mass storage device). By connecting the ESOTEST MULTI to a mapping system through the optional component ESOTEST MULTI ADAPTER CABLE, the probe sensors can be visualized inside a 3D model of the patient's body for optimal placement.

The provided text describes the ESOTEST MULTI Esophageal Temperature Probe and Temperature Monitoring System with Visualization (subject device) and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K180047 – ESOTEST MULTI Esophageal Temperature Probe and Temperature Monitoring System).

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing technological characteristics and performance specifications. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the predicate device's established performance and relevant standards. The reported device performance is presented as being "Same" or compliant with the standards listed.

• Direct Measurement and Comparison: The performance parameters (e.g., temperature values, response times, residual levels) are directly measured and compared against the specified limits and benchmarks derived from these standards.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is a measurement and monitoring system, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable, as no training set is used for this device.
