The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Fetal & Maternal Monitor (F15A, F15A Air) do not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer all aspects of your request regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them.

The document focuses primarily on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Edan Instruments, Inc., F9 Express Fetal & Maternal Monitor, K173042) through comparison of intended use, technological characteristics, and conformance to various safety and performance standards. It mentions "functional and system level testing to validate the performance of the devices" and "results of the bench testing show that the subject device meets relevant consensus standards," but it does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for each individual physiological parameter (e.g., FHR accuracy, SpO2 accuracy) nor the specific results of those tests beyond stating that they comply with standards.

Specifically, the document does not include information on:

• A table of acceptance criteria with specific quantitative targets for each parameter and the reported device performance values against those targets. It only states compliance with standards.
• Sample sizes used for a "test set" in the context of clinical performance evaluation (it mentions "bench testing," but this is typically laboratory-based and doesn't involve patient data in a "test set" sense for AI/algorithm performance validation).
• Data provenance for such a test set (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
• Number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.
• Adjudication methods.
• Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) studies or human reader improvement data with AI assistance.
• Standalone (algorithm-only) performance, as this is a monitoring device, not a diagnostic AI algorithm.
• Type of ground truth (beyond "bench testing" which implies engineered signals or controlled environments).
• Sample size for a training set or how ground truth for a training set was established. This device is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or interpretative algorithm in the way your request implies.

Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I can only address what is present or infer what is missing.

Here's a breakdown based on the available information:

Analysis of Acceptance Criteria and Performance Testing based on Provided Document

The provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (F9 Express Fetal & Maternal Monitor, K173042) by showing that the new device (F15A, F15A Air) has the same intended use and fundamentally similar technological characteristics, with any differences not raising new safety or effectiveness concerns.

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

The document does not provide a specific table with quantitative acceptance criteria for each physiological parameter (e.g., FHR accuracy, SpO2 accuracy) and the corresponding reported performance values obtained in testing. Instead, it states that the device was assessed for conformity with relevant consensus standards. For example, it lists:

• IEC 60601-2-37:2015: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment (relevant for FHR).
• ISO 80601-2-61:2017+A1:2018: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment (relevant for SpO2).
• ISO 80601-2-56:2017+A1:2018: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement (relevant for TEMP).
• IEC 60601-2-27:2011: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electrocardiographic monitoring equipment (relevant for MECG/DECG).

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from standards compliance): The acceptance criteria are implicitly the performance requirements specified within these listed consensus standards. These standards set limits for accuracy, precision, response time, and other performance metrics for each type of measurement.

Reported Device Performance: The document states: "The results of the bench testing show that the subject device meets relevant consensus standards." This implies that the measured performance statistics (e.g., accuracy, bias, precision) for each parameter fell within the acceptable limits defined by the respective standards. However, the specific measured values are not provided in this summary.

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

The document mentions "Bench Testing" which implies laboratory-based testing using simulators, controlled signals, or phantoms, rather than a "test set" involving patient data. There is no information provided regarding:

• Sample size (e.g., number of recordings, duration of recordings, number of simulated cases) for the bench tests for each parameter.
• Data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) as this is not a study involving patient data collection for performance validation.

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 is not applicable and not provided. For a traditional physiological monitor, ground truth for bench testing is typically established using:

• Calibrated reference equipment/simulators: e.g., ECG simulators to generate known heart rates, SpO2 simulators to generate known oxygen saturation levels.
• Physical standards/phantoms: e.g., temperature baths at known temperatures.
• Known physical properties: e.g., precise weights for pressure transducers.

Clinical experts are not involved in establishing ground truth for bench performance of these types of physiological measurements.

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

This is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods are relevant for human expert review of complex clinical data (e.g., medical images for AI validation) to establish a consensus ground truth. For bench testing of physiological monitors, ground truth is objectively determined by calibrated instruments or defined physical parameters.

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 is not applicable and not provided. An MRMC study is typically performed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of AI-assisted human interpretations versus unassisted human interpretations for AI-driven diagnostic devices. The Fetal & Maternal Monitor is a physiological monitoring device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation system. It measures and displays physiological parameters; it does not provide AI-driven assistance for human "readers" to interpret complex clinical information.

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

The device is a monitor that directly measures physiological parameters. It is not an "algorithm only" device in the sense of an AI model providing a diagnostic output. Its performance (e.g., FHR accuracy) is its standalone performance, as it directly measures these parameters. The document states "functional and system level testing to validate the performance of the devices," which would represent this type of standalone performance for the measurement functionalities. However, specific quantitative results are not given, only compliance with standards.

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

As explained in point 3, the ground truth for bench testing of physiological monitors is established using calibrated reference equipment/simulators and physical standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable and not provided. This device is a traditional physiological monitor, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set." Its algorithms for parameter measurement are based on established physiological principles and signal processing techniques, not on statistical learning from large datasets.

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

This is not applicable and not provided for the same reasons as point 8.

The subject devices operate on the same principle and share similar design features, materials, and performance characteristics as the predicate device.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors, based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Study Information

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

   • Sample Size: Twelve human adult volunteers were enrolled for the clinical study. The study contains more than the minimum 200 data points.
   • Data Provenance: The study was conducted on human adult volunteers and includes sufficient darkly pigmented subjects (three dark subjects with Fitzpatrick Type 5-6). It is a prospective clinical study. The country of origin is not explicitly stated but implies testing in a controlled clinical environment, likely linked to the manufacturer's location or a designated clinical trial site.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

   • The document implies that arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry was used as the ground truth. This is a direct measurement from blood samples. Therefore, typical "experts" in the sense of human readers adjudicating images are not applicable here. The accuracy of co-oximetry itself is the standard.

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

   • Not applicable. The ground truth (SaO2 by co-oximetry) is a direct, objective measurement, not subject to human interpretation or adjudication in the same way as an imaging study.

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:

   • Not applicable. This device is a sensor (hardware) for SpO2 and pulse rate measurement, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or an imaging system that would involve human reader interpretation. No MRMC study was conducted.

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

   • Not applicable. The device is a sensor that measures physiological parameters. Its performance is inherent to its design and function, not an algorithm's performance. The "clinical test data" section describes the validation of the sensor's accuracy in vivo.

6. The type of ground truth used:

   • Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry. This is an objective "gold standard" for blood oxygen measurement.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • Not applicable. This device is a hardware sensor, not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The clinical study described is for validation/testing, not training.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

   • Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

The BeneVision Central Monitoring System is intended for use in professional healthcare facilities under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.

The BeneVision Central Monitoring System (CMS) is a networked patient monitoring system intended for use in healthcare settings by, or under the direction of, a physician to provide clinicians remote patient monitoring. The target patient population is adult patients and pediatrics.

When connected to a compatible anesthesia device, BeneVision CMS can display the parameters, waveforms and alarms of the anesthesia device. The device does not contain bi-directional capabilities for the compatible anesthesia devices.

The BeneVision CMS includes the AlarmGUARD application. AlarmGUARD supports delivering notifications of physiological and technical alarms to clinical professionals' mobile devices. AlarmGUARD is not intended for real time monitoring of patients and is not intended to act as a primary source for alarms.

It appears the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the BeneVision Central Monitoring System (K242728) does not contain specific acceptance criteria, test results (like sensitivity/specificity, accuracy metrics), or detailed study methodologies that directly address how the device's performance meets quantitative acceptance criteria for its intended functions.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K220058) through:

• Comparison of Indications for Use: Showing minor differences (expanded compatibility to include anesthesia systems, but not for real-time monitoring).
• Technological Comparisons: Highlighting changes in operating systems, host configurations, and the addition of features like Multi-Patient Viewer separation and AlarmGUARD support.
• Performance Data Section: This section lists the types of testing conducted but does not provide the results of those tests or specific acceptance criteria met by those results. It merely states that "Software verification and validation testing was conducted" and "Verification of the BeneVision Central Monitoring System was conducted to ensure that the product works as designed. Validation was conducted to check the design and performance of the product."

Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I cannot extract the detailed information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, reported performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details.

The document confirms the following regarding the study:

• Study Type: Software verification and validation testing, along with specific bench testing.
• Clinical Data/Animal Testing: Not applicable/not required for this submission to establish substantial equivalence. This suggests the clearance relies on non-clinical data and comparison to the predicate.
• Ground Truth: The document implies that the ground truth for software verification and validation would be the design specifications and expected behavior of the system, rather than clinical outcomes or expert consensus on a diagnostic task. For the "Waveform Display Accuracy from compatible Anesthesia Machine," the ground truth would likely be the direct output from the anesthesia machine itself.

What is present in the document that somewhat relates to your request:

• "Bench Testing" section (Page 19): This lists specific tests performed:
  • AlarmGUARD IEC 60601-2-27
  • AlarmGUARD IEC 60601-1-8
  • AlarmGUARD Human Factors
  • Waveform Display Accuracy from compatible Anesthesia Machine

To fulfill your request as best as possible with the given information, I will have to state that many details are explicitly absent from this public 510(k) summary.

Here's a structured response based on the provided document, indicating what information is present and what is absent:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in the provided document for any of the listed tests (AlarmGUARD, Waveform Display Accuracy, general software V&V).
• Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). Given that no clinical data was used or required, the "data" would be synthetic, simulated, or derived from direct device connections during bench testing.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

• Not applicable / Not specified. The document does not describe the use of human experts to establish ground truth for a diagnostic task or for the performance evaluation of this central monitoring system. The focus is on software function and electro-mechanical performance validation against design specifications and international standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Not applicable / Not specified. No adjudication method is mentioned as human reader input for a test set is not described.

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

• No. The document explicitly states that "Clinical testing is not required to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate device" and does not mention any MRMC study. This device is a central monitoring system displaying physiological data, not an AI diagnostic tool requiring MRMC studies for improved human reader performance.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)

• The "performance data" section lists "Software Verification and Validation Testing" and "Bench Testing" (including "Waveform Display Accuracy from compatible Anesthesia Machine"). These tests conceptually represent 'standalone' performance in that they evaluate the device's technical functions directly. However, no specific quantitative standalone performance metrics (e.g., classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for any internal algorithms) are provided in this summary beyond the statement that v&v was conducted to ensure the product "works as designed."

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• The ground truth for the device's performance appears to be:
  • Design Specifications: For general software verification and validation.
  • External Reference Standards/Simulators: For tests like "Waveform Display Accuracy" (e.g., comparing the displayed waveform to the known, true signal generated by a simulator or the anesthesia machine itself).
  • International Standards: For AlarmGUARD functionality (e.g., IEC 60601-2-27, IEC 60601-1-8).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not applicable / Not specified. This document describes a traditional medical device (patient monitoring system software) rather than a machine learning/AI device that typically requires a distinct "training set." Therefore, no training set size is mentioned.

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

• Not applicable / Not specified. As no training set for an AI/ML model is indicated, there is no mention of how its ground truth would be established.

The monitors are intended to be used for monitoring, storing, recording, and reviewing of, and to generate alarms for, multiple physiological parameters of adults and pediatrics (including neonates). The monitors are intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in hospital environments.

The monitored physiological parameters include: ECG, respiration (RESP), temperature (TEMP), functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO₂), pulse rate (PR), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), invasive blood pressure (IBP), carbon dioxide (CO2), and cardiac output (C.O.).

The arrhythmia detection and ST Segment analysis are intended for adult patients.

The NIBP monitoring supports iCUFS algorithm and iFAST algorithm. The iCUFS algorithm is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The iFAST algorithm is intended for adult and pediatric patients (≥3 years of age). Both measurement algorithms are also intended for use with pregnant women, including pre-eclamptic patients. NIBP MAP is not applicable to pregnant women.

The Spot Temp with T2A module can only measure temperature of adult and pediatric (> 1 year of age) patients.

The monitors are not intended for MRI environments.

The cardiac output (C.O.) is only intended for adult patients.

The CX&UX series Patient Monitor including CX10/CX12/CX15/UX10/UX12/UX15 can perform long-time continuous monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. Also, it is capable of storing, displaying, analyzing and controlling measurements, and it will indicate alarms in case of abnormalities so that doctors and nurses can respond to the patient's situation as appropriate.

Minor differences from the predicate device are limited to some modifications of monitoring parameter specifications. These updates do not change the fundamental scientific technology of the cleared predicate device and thus do not raise any questions about the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter details the device's technical specifications and comparisons to predicate devices, along with the non-clinical performance data and adherence to various IEC and ISO standards. However, it explicitly states: "Clinical data: The subject device did not require new clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."

This means that the submission for this Patient Monitor device (CX10, CX12, CX15, UX10, UX12, UX15) relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Edan Instruments, Inc., Patient Monitor Model iX10, iX12, iX15, K232962) through non-clinical performance testing and software verification/validation, rather than new clinical trials or studies involving human patients.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies that prove the device meets acceptance criteria through clinical performance (e.g., sample size for test set, expert involvement, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for test/training sets, effect size of human reader improvement with AI) cannot be extracted from this document, as such clinical studies were explicitly not required for this 510(k) submission.

The document focuses on demonstrating that the new device's technical specifications and performance are similar to the predicate device, and that it complies with relevant safety and performance standards through bench testing.

Here's what can be extracted from the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and the type of study performed, specifically focusing on the non-clinical aspects:

Device: Patient Monitor (CX10, CX12, CX15, UX10, UX12, UX15)

The acceptance criteria for this device are implicitly tied to its performance meeting the standards and accuracy specifications of the predicate device and relevant international standards. Since no new clinical studies were conducted, the "proof" comes from non-clinical bench testing and software validation.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Non-Clinical/Bench Testing)

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

• Sample Size: Not applicable in terms of human subjects or patient data test sets, as "new clinical studies" were not required. The "test set" refers to bench testing and functional system-level validation. The specific number of test cycles or a detailed breakdown of test cases for bench testing is not provided in this summary.
• Data Provenance: The data primarily originates from Edan Instruments Inc. (Shenzhen, Guangdong, China) through internal engineering and quality assurance processes for non-clinical bench testing and software validation. It is not patient data, so concepts like "retrospective or prospective" do not apply.

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

• Not applicable for clinical ground truth: Since no clinical studies were performed requiring human interpretation or diagnosis for a test set, no medical experts (e.g., radiologists) were used to establish ground truth in this context.
• Internal experts: Bench testing and software validation would have involved engineers and quality assurance professionals, whose qualifications are implicit in the quality system (21 CFR Part 820) but not specified in detail here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

• Not applicable: Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are relevant for clinical studies involving multiple readers. This was not a clinical study. Bench testing relies on established technical specifications and standard compliance.

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

• No: No MRMC study was performed as no new clinical studies were required or conducted. Therefore, there's no effect size of human readers improving with AI assistance. The device is a patient monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

• Yes (for the technical components): The "performance testing-Bench" effectively represents a standalone evaluation of the device's functional components (ECG, NIBP, SpO2, etc.) and software against defined technical specifications and standards. The "software verification and validation testing" also represents a standalone evaluation of the algorithm and software functions. The specific algorithms (e.g., iCUFS, iFAST for NIBP, arrhythmia analysis logic) are tested independently for their accuracy against known inputs or reference standards as part of bench testing.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

• Technical/Reference Standards: For the bench testing, the "ground truth" would be derived from:
  • Reference standards/simulators: Calibrated medical equipment, physiological simulators, and test signals (e.g., known ECG waveforms, simulated blood pressure readings, temperature standards) are used to provide the "true" values against which the device's measurements are compared.
  • Defined specifications: The device's internal design specifications and the requirements of the referenced IEC/ISO standards serve as the "ground truth" for compliance testing.
• Not clinical ground truth: No expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data from real patients were used for establishing ground truth for this submission.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

• Not applicable: The device is a patient monitor, not a machine learning/AI algorithm that typically undergoes a distinct "training" phase with a large dataset. Its functionality is based on established physiological measurement principles and programmed algorithms. Any internal calibration or algorithm refinement would be part of the product development process, not a dedicated "training set" in the AI/ML sense.

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

• Not applicable: As there was no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model, the concept of establishing ground truth for it does not apply to this 510(k) submission.

In summary, this 510(k) clearance relies on demonstrating that the new Patient Monitor is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared predicate device, primarily through robust non-clinical bench testing and software validation, proving compliance with established medical device standards and functional specifications. No new clinical studies with patient data were required or conducted for this specific submission.

This modular approach provides the customer with the choice of purchasing and/or using specific monitoring applications based on their needs. Users are not required to have all of the modules installed at the same time for the platform to function.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Edwards Lifesciences HemoSphere Advanced Monitor (HEM1) and associated components outlines the device's indications for use and the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or the specific study results (performance data) in the format typically required to answer your request fully, especially for acceptance criteria and performance of an AI/algorithm-based feature like the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) or Assisted Fluid Management (AFM).

The document states:

• "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications."
• "Measured and derived parameters were tested using a bench simulation. Additionally, system integration and mechanical testing was successfully conducted to verify the safety and effectiveness of the device. All tests passed."
• "Software verification testing was conducted, and documentation was provided per FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". All tests passed."

This indicates that internal performance specifications were met, but the specific metrics, thresholds, and study designs for achieving those specifications are not detailed in this public summary.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table with specific numerical performance data against acceptance criteria for the HPI or AFM features, nor can I provide details on sample size, expert ground truth establishment, or MRMC studies, as this information is not present in the provided text.

The text primarily focuses on:

• Substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
• Indications for Use for various HemoSphere configurations and modules.
• Description of software and hardware modifications (e.g., integration of HPI algorithm, new finger cuffs).
• General categories of testing performed (Usability, System Verification, Electrical Safety/EMC, Software Verification) with a blanket statement that "All tests passed."

Based on the provided document, here's what can and cannot be stated:

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

Cannot be provided with specific numerical data or thresholds from the given text. The document only states that "all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications." No specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., "Accuracy > X%", "Sensitivity > Y%", "Mean Absolute Error

The non-invasive Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter System and accessories are indicated for use as an adjunct monitor of regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of blood (rSO2) in the tissue under the sensor in patients in healthcare environments. The O3 Regional Oximeter is only to be used with Masimo O3 sensors. The use of any other sensor is not supported or recommended by Masimo and could give erroneous results.

When used with the O3 Adult Sensor, the O3 Regional Oximeter is indicated for measuring absolute and trending regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of blood (rSO2) in adults ≥ 40kg.

When used with the O3 Pediatric Sensor, the O3 Regional Oximeter is indicated for measuring absolute and trending regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of blood (rSO2) on cerebral sites and trending rSO2 on non-cerebral sites in pediatrics ≥ 5 kg and

The Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter is a noninvasive regional oximeter designed to continuously measure and monitor regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the tissue under the sensor. The Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter consists of the O3 Module, O3 Sensors (e.g., O3 Adult, O3 Pediatric, O3 Infant/Neonatal sensors), and a Host/Backboard Device (e.g., Root).

The Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter System provides the following measurements and calculated features:

• Regional Oxygenation (rSO2): Regional tissue oxygenation level in the deep tissue local to the sensor site.
• Delta Baseline (Δbase): Calculation of the relative difference in rSO2 with respect to baseline rSO2.
• Area Under the Limit (AUL index): Index that quantifies the duration (amount of time) the patient stays below rSO2 low alarm limit and depth (refers to the gap between the patient's rSO2 level and the rSO2 low alarm limit) of patient's stay below the user defined rSO2 low alarm limit (LAL).
• Delta SpO2 (ΔSpO2): Calculation of the difference between SpO2 and rSO2. The source of SpO2 is from peripheral SpO2 measurement (using pulse oximeter).
• Delta HHb (ΔHHb): Index associated with the relative change in deoxygenated hemoglobin.
• Delta O2Hb (ΔO2Hb): Index associated with the relative change in the oxygenated hemoglobin.
• Delta cHb (ΔcHb): Calculation of the sum of the Delta HHb and Delta O2Hb, and is an index, associated with the change in the total (oxygenated and deoxygenated) hemoglobin.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter (K243324) states that the submission is for an expansion of indications for existing "delta features" (ΔO2Hb, ΔHHb, ΔcHb) of the device. This means the core rSO2 measurement accuracy was not re-evaluated, as it was previously cleared under the predicate (K214072) and no changes were made to the device's fundamental operation.

Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study detailed below focus specifically on the expansion of trending ability of the delta features to new patient populations (pediatric and neonates) and non-cerebral sites.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter (K243324)

Based on the provided document, the acceptance criteria and study focus on confirming the trending ability of the delta features (ΔO2Hb, ΔHHb, ΔcHb) for expanded indications. The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., a specific correlation coefficient or accuracy range) for these delta features, unlike the rSO2 accuracy (ARMS) specifications which are quantitative. Instead, it speaks of "strong correlation" and "equivalent performance."

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

• Non-cerebral trending study: Data from 25 subjects.
• Pediatric/Neonatal trending study: Data from 29 subjects.
• Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Clinical studies for 510(k) submissions are typically prospective, but this is not confirmed here.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

• The document describes studies for "trending ability" of physiological parameters (hemoglobin changes). For such physiological measurements, the ground truth is typically established by direct physiological measurement or well-established reference methods, not by expert panel review of images or clinical assessments. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in the manner of diagnostic imaging studies (e.g., radiologists) is not applicable here. The ground truth would be the actual physiological changes occurring in the subjects, measured by a gold standard method (though not explicitly detailed in the summary).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Given that the studies are evaluating the trending ability of physiological measurements against an assumed physiological ground truth (not expert interpretations), an "adjudication method" in the sense of reconciling multiple expert opinions (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not applicable.

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

• No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI-assisted diagnostic tools where human readers interpret medical images or data with and without AI assistance to measure improvement in reader performance. The Masimo O3 Regional Oximeter is a physiological monitoring device that provides direct measurements, and the current submission is about expanding the trending indications of those measurements, not assisting human interpretation of complex medical cases.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

• Yes, implicitly. The studies described evaluate the device's ability to trend delta features. This is a direct measurement of the device's algorithm performance in a clinical setting against physiological changes. The device itself produces these measurements, so the performance reported is inherently "algorithm only" in terms of its output, even though it's measured on human subjects.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• The ground truth for studies of physiological monitoring devices like oximeters is typically actual physiological values measured concurrently by a highly accurate or gold-standard reference method. For regional oximetry and hemoglobin changes, this might involve induced changes in oxygenation/perfusion and simultaneous measurement with a more invasive or laboratory-based technique, though the summary does not detail the specific reference method used for these "delta features" studies. It is implied to be a quantitative, objective physiological ground truth, not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the traditional sense of diagnostic imaging.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• The document does not provide information on the training set sample size. This submission is for an expanded indication based on clinical study data, not a new algorithm development submission where training data sets are typically detailed. It is assumed the algorithms for the delta features were trained/developed prior to the predicate device clearance (K214072) or during earlier development cycles, and the current submission is about validating their performance for new uses.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established

• The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for any potential training set was established. As this submission pertains to an expanded indication for existing features, the focus is on clinical validation of those features in new contexts rather than the de novo development process.

The proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P are new version of multi-parameter patient monitors developed based on the predicate monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P (K213490) to provide additional monitored parameter Bispectral Index (BIS) by supporting the additional optional E-BIS module (K052145) which used in conjunction with Covidien BISx module (K072286).

In addition to the added parameter, the proposed monitors also offer below several enhancements:

• Provided data connection with GE HealthCare anesthesia devices to display the parameters measured from anesthesia devices (Applicable for B105M, B125M and B155M).

• Supported alarm light brightness adjustment.
• Supported alarm audio pause by gesture (Not applicable for B105M and B105P).
• Supported automatic screen brightness adjustment.

• Continuous improvements in cybersecurity

The proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P retain equivalent hardware design based on the predicate monitors and removal of the device Trim-knob to better support cleaning and disinfecting while maintaining the same primary function and operation.

Same as the predicate device, the five models (B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P) share the same hardware platform and software platform to support the data acquisition and algorithm modules. The differences between them are the LCD screen size and configuration options. There is no change from the predicate in the display size.

As with the predicate monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P (K213490), the proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P are multi-parameter patient monitors, utilizing an LCD display and pre-configuration basic parameters: ECG, RESP, NIBP, IBP, TEMP, SpO2, and optional parameters which include CO2 and Gas parameters provided by the E-MiniC module (K052582), CARESCAPE Respiratory modules E-sCO and E-sCAiO (K171028), Airway Gas Option module N-CAiO (K151063), Entropy parameter provided by the E-Entropy module (K150298), Cardiac Output parameter provided by the E-COP module (K052976), Neuromuscular Transmission (NMT) parameter provided by E-NMT module (K051635) and thermal recorder B1X5-REC.

The proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P are not Apnea monitors (i.e., do not rely on the device for detection or alarm for the cessation of breathing). These devices should not be used for life sustaining/supporting purposes. Do not attempt to use these devices to detect sleep apnea.

As with the predicate monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P (K213490), the proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P also can interface with a variety of existing central station systems via a cabled or wireless network which implemented with identical integrated WiFi module. (WiFi feature is disabled in B125P/B105P).

Moreover, same as the predicate monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P (K213490), the proposed monitors B105M, B125M, B155M, B105P and B125P include features and subsystems that are optional or configurable, and it can be mounted in a variety of ways (e.g., shelf, countertop, table, wall, pole, or head/foot board) using existing mounting accessories.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for K242562 (Monitor B105M, Monitor B125M, Monitor B155M, Monitor B105P, Monitor B125P) do not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance metrics, or details of a study meeting those criteria for any of the listed physiological parameters or functionalities (e.g., ECG or arrhythmia detection).

Instead, the documentation primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K213490) by comparing features, technology, and compliance with various recognized standards and guidance documents for safety, EMC, software, human factors, and cybersecurity.

The summary explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, the proposed monitors B105M/B125M/B155M/B105P/B125P did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." This implies that the changes introduced in the new device versions were not considered significant enough to warrant new clinical performance studies or specific quantitative efficacy/accuracy acceptance criteria beyond what is covered by the referenced consensus standards.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This information is not present. The document lists numerous standards and tests performed, but not specific performance metrics or acceptance thresholds.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not explicitly stated for performance evaluation, as clinical studies were not required. The usability testing mentioned a sample size of 16 US clinical users, but this is for human factors, not device performance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as detailed performance studies requiring expert ground truth are not described.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
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 device is a patient monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: The document describes "Bench testing related to software, hardware and performance including applicable consensus standards," which implies standalone testing against known specifications or simulated data. However, specific results or detailed methodologies for this type of testing are not provided beyond the list of standards.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not explicitly stated for performance assessment. For the various parameters (ECG, NIBP, SpO2, etc.), it would typically involve reference equipment or validated methods as per the relevant IEC/ISO standards mentioned.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device that would require explicit training data in the context of this submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document focuses on demonstrating that the new monitors are substantially equivalent to their predicate through feature comparison, adherence to recognized standards, and various non-clinical bench tests (e.g., hardware, alarms, EMC, environmental, reprocessing, human factors, software, cybersecurity). It does not contain the detailed performance study results and acceptance criteria typically found for novel diagnostic algorithms or AI-driven devices.

The RTM Vital Signs RTMsense is indicated for use by healthcare professionals in healthcare facilities, such as post-operative care and general wards, to monitor breathing in adult (at least 22 years old) patients.

RTMsense is a non-invasive system that graphically displays respiratory function against time and reports respiratory rate.

RTMsense measurements are used as an adjunct to other clinical information sources.

The RTMsense Respiratory Monitoring System is a single use wearable device consisting of a wearable trachea sound sensor (TSS) and software that continuously measures a patient's respiratory rate by analyzing the sounds of air flow within the proximal trachea during inhalation and exhalation. The acoustic signal is transmitted wirelessly to a Lenovo Tablet, and the respiratory measurement values are displayed on the tablet after analysis of the acoustic data by a proprietary software algorithm.

The RTMsense software application has three parts: firmware on the TSS, a web-based application on the Lenovo tablet, and a cloud-based proprietary software algorithm. The TSS securely transmits acoustic data wirelessly to the local, Bluetooth low energy enabled Lenovo tablet. The tablet uses a web-based application to securely transmit the acoustic data to the cloud for analysis in RTM's proprietary cloud-based algorithm. The web application retrieves the processed data from the algorithm to display respiratory rate on the tablet.

The device will be used by healthcare professionals in healthcare facilities such as post-operative care or general wards. The RTMsense respiratory measurements are used as an adjunct to other clinical information sources.

The TSS is held in place by a flexible wearable carrier adhered to the patient's proximal trachea with commercially available medical grade adhesive. The TSS contains the audio sensor, onboard processing, wireless communications technology, and Lithium-ion coin cell rechargeable battery. A custom charger is provided to charge the battery.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the RTM Sense (A-0001) device details several aspects of its performance and validation. However, it does not explicitly provide a table of acceptance criteria for specific metrics, instead focusing on overall "passing" of predefined performance criteria. The information regarding ground truth establishment for the training set, number and qualifications of experts, and adjudication methods is also limited.

Based on the provided text, here's an attempt to reconstruct the information:

Overview of RTM Sense (A-0001) Performance Study

The RTM Sense (A-0001) is a non-invasive respiratory monitoring system that continuously measures a patient's respiratory rate by analyzing tracheal sounds. The device, intended for use by healthcare professionals in healthcare facilities, underwent non-clinical and clinical performance testing to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness and establish substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

The Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter is intended to estimate the percent oxygen saturation (StO2) in a volume of tissue, including bowel tissue, during laparoscopy.

The Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter is indicated for use in monitoring patients during circulatory or perfusion assessment during laparoscopy.

The Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter is intended to be used by physicians, surgeons, nurses, or other skilled users in a medical environment.

The Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter should only be used on adult patients.

The proposed Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter ("Lap.Ox" or "Device") is a cordless, battery-powered device that estimates the percent oxygen saturation (StO2) in a volume of tissue, including bowel tissue. The device includes two components:

• a Reusable Main Unit that shows a digital readout of percent oxygen saturation (StO2) when the system is in contact with tissue (also denoted as "main unit" or "durable"); and
• a Disposable Kit that contains two AA batteries and a sterile single-use disposable consisting of sources, detectors, a laparoscopic tube, and a sheath that is placed around the Reusable Main Unit (denoted as "Disposable").

The Device uses spatially-resolved optical measurements at three wavelengths. The Device displays the StO2 estimate on the built-in screen. The Device is constructed from biocompatible materials that can tolerate bodily fluids. The basic principle of operation of the Lap.Ox Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter is spectrophotometric oximetry which entails utilizing red and near-infrared light to measure the color of blood and determine an oxygen saturation value.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Lap.Ox™ Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter details aspects of its regulatory review, including its intended use, technological characteristics, and a summary of performance testing. However, the document does not provide specific acceptance criteria or detailed results of a study proving the device meets those criteria, particularly in the context of clinical performance or accuracy of StO2 measurements with numerical values.

The letter broadly states that "The verification and validation studies demonstrated that Lap.Ox performs as intended" and "ViOptix conducted a clinical study... The results demonstrated that the performance of the Lap.Ox Laparoscopic Tissue Oximeter, on human subjects, is comparable to the predicate device."

Without the actual study report or more detailed submission information, it's impossible to explicitly fill out the table and answer all questions with specific numerical values for device performance and study details.

Based on the provided text, here is what can be inferred and what information is missing:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Inferred/Missing)

Given the device is an oximeter, typical acceptance criteria would involve accuracy and precision compared to a reference method (e.g., arterial blood gas analysis, or the predicate device's measured values).

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is a wearable device and paired mobile and cloud-based software platform intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals or researchers for retrospective remote monitoring of physiologic parameters in ambulatory individuals 18 years of age and older in home-healthcare environments. As the platform does not provide real-time alerts related to variation of physiologic parameters, users should use professional judgment in assessing patient clinical stability and the appropriateness of using a monitoring platform designed for retrospective review.

The device is intended for continuous data collection supporting intermittent retrospective review of the following physiological parameters:

• Pulse Rate,
• Blood Oxygen Saturation under no-motion conditions,
• Respiratory Rate under no motion conditions,
• Peripheral Skin Temperature,
• Electrodermal Activity,
• Activity associated with movement during sleep

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform can be used to analyze circadian rhythms and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is not intended for SpO2 monitoring in conditions of motion or low perfusion.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is intended for peripheral skin temperature monitoring, where monitoring temperature at the wrist is clinically indicated.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is not intended for Respiratory Rate monitoring in motion conditions. This device does not detect apnea and should not be used for detecting or monitoring cessation of breathing.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is not intended for Pulse Rate monitoring in patients with chronic cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial/ventricular bigeminy and trigeminy, and is not intended to diagnose or analyze cardiac arrhythmias. The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is not a substitute for an ECG monitor, and should not be used as the sole basis for clinical decision-making.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is a wearable device and software platform composed by:

• A wearable medical device called EmbracePlus,
• A mobile application running on smartphones called "Care App",
• A cloud-based software platform named "Care Portal".

The EmbracePlus is worn on the user's wrist and continuously collects raw data via specific sensors. These data are wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy to a paired mobile device where the Care App is up and running. The data received are analyzed by one of the Care App software modules, EmpaDSP, which computes the user physiological parameters. Based on the version of the Care App installed, the user can visualize a subset of these physiological parameters. The Care App is also responsible for transmitting, over cellular or WiFi connection sensors' raw data, device information, Care App-specific information, and computed physiological parameters to the Empatica Cloud. On the Empatica Cloud, these data are stored, further analyzed, and accessible by healthcare providers or researchers via a specific cloud-based software called Care Portal.

The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is intended for retrospective remote monitoring of physiological parameters in ambulatory adults in home-healthcare environments. It is designed to continuously collect data to support intermittent monitoring of the following physiological parameters and digital biomarkers by trained healthcare professionals or researchers: Pulse Rate (PR), Respiratory Rate (RR), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), peripheral skin temperature (TEMP), and electrodermal activity (EDA). Activity sensors are used to detect sleep periods and to monitor the activity associated with movement during sleep.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and its attachments describe the acceptance criteria and study that proves the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform (EHMP) meets those criteria, specifically concerning a new Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for the SpO2 quality indicator (QI) algorithm.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are outlined for the proposed modification to the SpO2 Quality Indicator (QI) algorithm. The reported device performance is presented as a statement of equivalence to the predicate device, implying that the acceptance criteria are met, as the 510(k) was cleared.

Note: For the pre-existing functionalities (Pulse Rate, Respiratory Rate, Peripheral Skin Temperature, Electrodermal Activity, Activity and Sleep), the document states that "no changes to the computation... compared with the cleared version" have been introduced, implying their previous acceptance criteria were met and remain valid.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

• Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the SpO2 algorithm modification. The document only mentions "enhancing the development dataset with new samples" for the ML-based algorithm and clinical testing was "conducted in accordance with ISO 80601-2-61... and ... FDA Guidelines for Pulse Oximeters." These standards typically require a certain number of subjects and data points, but the exact numbers are not provided in this public summary.
• Data Provenance: Not specified in the provided document. It does not mention the country of origin, nor whether the data was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number and Qualifications of Experts for Ground Truth

• Number of Experts: Not specified.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not specified. The document states the platform is "intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals or researchers," and later discusses "professional users" and "clinical interpretation," implying that the ground truth for clinical studies would likely involve such experts, but their specific roles, numbers, and qualifications for establishing ground truth are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The adjudication method for establishing ground truth for the test set is not explicitly mentioned in the provided document.

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

There is no mention of a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study being conducted, nor any effect size regarding human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. The device is for "retrospective remote monitoring" by healthcare professionals, implying an AI-driven data collection/analysis with human review, but not necessarily human-AI collaboration in real-time diagnostic interpretation that an MRMC study would evaluate.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

The acceptance criteria for the SpO2 QI algorithm include "Bench testing conducted using a functional tester to simulate a range of representative signal quality issues." This falls under standalone performance, as it tests the algorithm's ability to discriminate data quality without direct human input. Clinical testing also evaluates the algorithm's accuracy (Arms error) in comparison to an established standard, which is also a standalone performance measure.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• For the SpO2 QI ML algorithm: The ground truth for low-quality and high-quality data discrimination seems to be an internal standard/reference based on the "FDA-cleared SpO2 algorithm" and potentially expert labeling of data quality during the "enhancing the development dataset."
• For the SpO2 Accuracy (Arms Error): The ground truth for SpO2 values would be established in accordance with ISO 80601-2-61, which typically involves comparing the device's readings against a laboratory co-oximeter or a reference pulse oximeter for arterial oxygen saturation.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document mentions "enhancing the development dataset with new samples" for the ML-based algorithm but does not specify the sample size for the training set.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established

The ground truth for training the ML-based SpO2 QI algorithm was established by "enhancing the development dataset with new samples." It also mentions performing "feature extraction and engineering on window lengths spanning a 10-30-second range." While it doesn't explicitly state the methodology, given the context of a "binary output" (high/low quality), it implies a labeling process, likely by human experts or based on predefined criteria derived from the previous FDA-cleared algorithm's performance on various data types. For the SpO2 accuracy, the ground truth would typically be established by a reference method consistent with the mentioned ISO standard and FDA guidance.
