INVU by Nuvo™ is a maternal-fetal mon-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR) and Uterine Activity (UA).
The INVU Sensor Band™ acquires the fetal heart electrocardiogram and maternal heart electrocardiogram signals from abdominal surface electrodes and the fetal phonocardiogram and the maternal phonocardiogram signals from surface acoustic sensors. The FHR, MHR and UA tracings are derived from these signals and presented.
INVU by Nuvo™ is indicated for use by pregnant women who are in their 32nd week of gestation (or later), with a singleton pregnancy.
The INVU by Nuvo™ maternal-fetal monitor is intended for use by healthcare professionals in health care facilities and by the patient in the patient's home, on the order of a physician.
The INVU by Nuvo™ is indicated for antepartum fetal surveillance (i.e. non-stress testing).
This system does not prevent the onset of preterm labor nor will it prevent the occurrence of preterm birth.
INVU by Nuvo™ is a non-invasive medical device that acquires and displays vital signs of the pregnant woman and her fetus. It measures and processes signals picked up on the abdominal surface using highly sensitive sensors, special electronic circuitry, and processing software. Two types of sensors pick up the signals: ECG-like sensors that pick-up bio-potential signals, and acoustic sensors. The bio-potential (ECG-like) sensors pick up the fECG (of the fetus), the mECG signals (of the pregnant woman) and the acoustic sensors measure the sounds from the pregnant woman's abdomen (PCG -phonocardiogram and fPCG - fetal PCG). The FHR, MHR, and UA tracings are derived from these signals and presented.
INVU by Nuvo™ is an integrated platform that uses a signal acquisition tool to provide input related to fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR), to two separate software applications, one for the patient (INVU App) and one for the physician (INVU-Pro application), which also provides uterine activity (UA) tracings. Sensors are incorporated in a belt that is worn on the abdomen of the pregnant woman, where it acquires both biopotential and acoustic signals. The signals are processed at a cloudserver level. The sensors are attached to the pregnant woman's abdomen by a belt (INVU by Nuvo™ sensory band). An integrated electronic module receives, processes and transmits the measured data to algorithmic modules at cloud servers, where the inputs from the sensors are processed, merged, and sent to the INVU by Nuvo™ (patient) application to display the average FHR and average MHR after a 30 minute (minimum) monitoring session and to the INVU by Nuvo™ Pro (physician) application to display the complete FHR, MHR, and uterine activity data from a monitoring session. A monitoring session can only be scheduled by a health care provider.
The purpose of this special 510(k) is to implement several minor improvements to straps, buckles and LED used in the device. There have also been several minor changes to the software.
The provided text describes a Special 510(k) submission (K221046) for the INVU by Nuvo™ maternal-fetal monitor, which is an updated version of a previously cleared device (K210025). The focus of this submission is on minor improvements to straps, buckles, LED, and software, rather than significant changes to the core functionality or algorithms. As such, the performance data presented is primarily focused on demonstrating that these minor changes do not negatively impact safety and effectiveness and that the device remains substantially equivalent to its predicate.
Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study details provided in the document are not structured in a way that directly addresses the comprehensive set of questions about device performance in terms of accuracy or efficacy against a ground truth, as would be expected for a de novo device or a submission with significant algorithmic changes.
Here's a breakdown of the information available based on your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not specify quantitative "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance (e.g., FHR accuracy, UA detection sensitivity/specificity) or report specific device performance metrics against such criteria in the way you might expect from a comprehensive clinical validation study. Instead, the performance data focuses on demonstrating that the modifications to the device (straps, buckles, LED, software) do not compromise the safety and effectiveness relative to the predicate device.
The study listed in the document for performance evaluation include:
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Demonstrated by Testing) |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Device components in contact with the patient are biocompatible. | Passed: Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization) per ISO 10993-1. |
Software: Software changes maintain safety and effectiveness and comply with regulations. | Passed: Software documentation and validation per 2017 guidance document "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device". |
Mechanical Performance: Straps and buckles have adequate mechanical integrity. | Passed: Functional testing (mechanical functionality and tensile strength testing) of straps and buckles. |
Electrical Performance (Snapping Feature): Continued electrical performance of the sensor snapping feature. | Passed: Electrical resistance testing to demonstrate continued electrical performance of the snapping feature. |
Electrical Performance (LED): Continued electrical performance of the LED light. | Passed: Electrical testing (bio-potential frequency response and charge mode testing) to demonstrate continued electrical performance of the LED light. |
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 does not mention specific sample sizes for test sets related to human subjects or patient data. The performance data described are related to engineering and software validation tests for the modifications, not a clinical trial on a large patient cohort. Therefore, details like country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature of data for clinical performance are not provided.
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 listed tests (biocompatibility, software validation, mechanical, electrical) do not typically involve experts establishing clinical ground truth for diagnostic accuracy in the way a clinical study would.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable/provided. The performance data pertains to technical verification and validation of device changes, not the adjudication of clinical outcomes or interpretations by multiple experts.
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
There is no indication that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was conducted or that the device involves "AI assistance" in a way that would alter human reader performance. The device is described as measuring and displaying FHR, MHR, and UA, with signals processed at a cloud server level, but the submission focuses on hardware and minor software changes rather than new AI algorithms for interpretation or augmentation of human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The document describes the device as a "maternal-fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR) and Uterine Activity (UA)." While signals are processed at a "cloud server level," the submission's focus on hardware and minor software changes to an existing device means that a standalone algorithm performance study, distinct from overall device function, is not described or required for this particular 510(k). The device presents tracings that healthcare professionals use for "antepartum fetal surveillance (i.e. non-stress testing)."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
Given that the listed performance data relates to engineering and software validation of device modifications, rather than clinical efficacy studies, there is no mention of clinical ground truth (like expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data) in the context of device performance reporting for this submission. The "ground truth" for the tests performed would be established by standard engineering and testing protocols related to biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and electrical performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not provided. The document doesn’t mention a training set, as the evaluation focuses on verifying hardware and minor software modifications to an already cleared device, rather than the development or re-training of a new diagnostic algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not provided, as there is no mention of a training set or its associated ground truth in the context of this 510(k) submission.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Device: INVU by Nuvo™ (Maternal-fetal monitor)
Performance Metrics of Interest for this Documentation: Uterine Activity (UA) detection. The text mentions FHR and MHR performance was addressed in a prior K-submission (K191401), so this summary focuses on UA as per the provided study details.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Parameter/Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Performance Goal) | Reported Device Performance (INVU by Nuvo™) | Context for Comparison (TOCO Device) |
---|---|---|---|
Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) with IUPC (Gold Standard) | Lower 95% Confidence Bound of PPA > 75% | 84.80% (95% CI: [81.58%; 88.02%]) | 37.50% (95% CI: [28.23%; 46.77%]) |
False Positive Rate (FPR) with IUPC (Gold Standard) | Not explicitly stated as a numerical acceptance criterion, but implicitly evaluated for comparability. | 24.28% (95% CI: [20.46%; 28.11%]) | 10.69% (95% CI: [5.65%; 15.72%]) |
Conclusion from Table: INVU by Nuvo™ met its performance goal for Positive Percent Agreement. The False Positive Rate was higher than the TOCO device, but the overall conclusion stated that INVU™ is comparable to the standard of care TOCO device and meets the required accuracy for its intended use.
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: 80 (Validation Phase)
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated regarding country of origin. The study was a "pivotal clinical study," suggesting it was prospective.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified. (The ground truth was established by a medical device, IUPC, not human experts for this specific test.)
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable/None mentioned for the UA data itself. The ground truth for Uterine Activity was established directly by an Internal Uterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC), which is the "gold standard" device. There's no indication of human adjudication of this instrumental ground truth.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- Was an MRMC study done? No. This study focuses on the device's accuracy in detecting Uterine Activity compared to an instrumental gold standard and a standard-of-care device. It does not evaluate human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
- Was a standalone performance study done? Yes. The study directly assessed the INVU by Nuvo™ platform's ability to collect and display UA data and compared its performance (specifically the algorithm's output) against the IUPC (gold standard) and TOCO devices.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: Instrumental Gold Standard. Uterine activity was measured by an Internal Uterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC), which is explicitly referred to as the "gold standard" for uterine activity measurement.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Training Set Sample Size: 40
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Method for Training Set Ground Truth: The text states, "During the training phase, uterine activity data was collected to 'train' the UA algorithm to identify uterine contractions." While not explicitly stated, it is highly implied that the same method for ground truth establishment as the validation phase (IUPC) would have been used to provide accurate Uterine Activity data for algorithm training.

PregSense is a maternal-fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate (FHR) and maternal heart rate (MHR). The PregSense acquires and displays the FHR and MHR tracings from abdominal surface electrodes that pick up the fetal heart biopotential and maternal heart biopotential signal, and from surface acoustic sensors that pick up the fetal PCG (fPCG; phonocardiogram) and the maternal PCG (mPCG; phonocardiogram) signals.
PregSense is indicated for use by pregnant women who need documentation of fetal heart rate activity, and who are in their 32nd week of gestation (or later), with a singleton pregnancy. PregSense is intended to be used for a maximum of five minutes.
The PregSense maternal-fetal monitor is intended for use in the antepartum period by healthcare professionals in health care facilities and by the patient in the patient's home, on the order of a physician.
The PregSense is not intended for use in critical care situations or in laboring patients hospitalized for or suspected to have preterm labor.
PregSense is not intended to be used for antepartum monitoring (e.g., non-stress testing).
PregSense™ is a non-invasive medical device that acquires and displays vital signs of the pregnant woman and of her fetus. It measures and processes signals picked up on the abdominal surface using sensors, electronic circuitry and processing software. Two types of sensors pick up the signals: electrocardiogram (ECG)-like sensors that capture bio-potential signals, and acoustic sensors. The biopotential (ECG-like) sensors capture fECG (heartrate of the fetus) and mECG signals (heartrate of the pregnant woman). The acoustic sensors measure the sounds from the pregnant woman's abdomen, (PCG -phonocardiogram and fPCG -fetal PCG). Monitoring of the fetal and maternal heart rate using PregSense is limited to a five-minute session.
PregSense™ is an integrated platform that uses a signal acquisition tool to provide input to two separate software applications, one for the patient (PregSense™ ME) and one for the physician (PregSense™ MD). The sensors are incorporated in a belt (PregSense™ Belt) that is worn on the abdomen of the pregnant woman, where it acquires both biopotential and acoustic signals are processed at the cloud-server level where the inputs from the sensors are processed, merged and downloaded to the mobile devices of the pregnant woman and her health care provider. The PregSense™ ME application (for the patient) allows the pregnant woman to view the average maternal and fetal heart rate after a five minute session has been completed and PregSense™-MD application (for the health care provider) allows the health care provider to view the complete fetal and maternal heart rate data from the five minute session online and remotely via the internet. A monitoring session can only be initiated by a health care provider.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) Measurement Accuracy | For a 30-minute session, 97.08% of all differences between PregSense and a "standard of care" monitoring device (CTG) lie between the 95% agreement limits of [-8.84, 8.24] bpm. |
For a 5-minute session (relevant to the device's indicated use): The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the lower agreement bound is -7.47 bpm and the upper limit is 8.16 bpm. Furthermore, 96.64% of the differences fall between the limits of agreement. | |
Maternal Heart Rate (MHR) Measurement Accuracy | For a 30-minute session, 95.31% (48241/50616) of all differences between PregSense and a "standard of care" monitoring device (CTG) lie between the 95% agreement limits of [-5.30, 5.86] bpm. |
Overall FHR Detection Percentage (Feasibility Study) | > 70% for the overall population. |
90% (±11.3) for subjects at least 32 weeks of gestation. | |
Device Usability by Lay Users | Successfully demonstrated through a usability study. |
Safety | No adverse events (procedure-related or device-related) reported during the feasibility study with 76 subjects. No adverse events reported in the pivotal clinical testing with 149 subjects. |
Study Details:
-
Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Feasibility Study: 76 subjects. The text mentions "two in the United States and two outside the United States" for the pivotal study settings, which suggests a global data provenance, but it's not explicitly stated for the feasibility study. The feasibility study seems to have been retrospective based on the reporting ("510 recording sessions were executed").
- Pivotal Study: 149 subjects. The study was conducted in four healthcare settings (two in the United States and two outside the United States), indicating a prospective, multi-site approach.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set. However, the pivotal study compared PregSense's performance to a "standard of care" monitoring device (CTG), implying that the CTG readings served as the reference standard, which would typically be interpreted by trained healthcare professionals. -
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
The document does not specify an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. The comparison was directly against a "standard of care" CTG system. -
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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study focuses on the standalone performance of the PregSense device in measuring FHR and MHR compared to a standard, rather than evaluating how human readers' performance changes with AI assistance. -
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Yes, the performance data presented is for the standalone device (PregSense™ system, including its embedded sensors and associated software for analysis) compared to a "standard of care" CTG. The "PregSense ME App" and "PregSense MD App" are for displaying data, not for human interpretation during the measurement process that would alter the algorithm's output. The usability study involved lay users, but that was to ensure proper device handling, not to assess a human-in-the-loop diagnostic process. -
The type of ground truth used:
The ground truth was established by comparison to a "standard of care" monitoring device, specifically CTG (Cardiotocography). This is a widely accepted clinical method for monitoring fetal heart rate. -
The sample size for the training set:
The document does not provide information regarding the sample size used for the training set for the PregSense algorithms. It only discusses the clinical studies conducted for performance validation. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established, as details about the training set itself are absent.

Trade/Device Name: Sense4baby System Model B+ (MSA) Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.2730
|
| Product Code: | LQK, MOH, HGM |
| Regulation: | 21 CFR 884.2730
|
| Classification | 884.2730
| 884.2730
The Sense4Baby System Model B+ is indicated for conventional antepartum fetal monitoring applications in pregnancies greater than or equal to 24 weeks gestation. It may be used for antenatal monitoring (e.g., non-stress testing and/or uterine activity monitoring) in a health care setting or home.
It is to be used by health care professionals and patients on the order of a physician.
Before the Sense4Baby System Model B+ is prescribed for home use, the user (patient) must be instructed/trained in proper use of the equipment.
Home uterine activity monitoring has not been shown to prevent the onset of preterm labor nor will it prevent the occurrence of preterm birth.
The Sense4Baby System, Model B+ (MSA) is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions during antepartum (non-stress) testing. The system transmits the measured data to a gateway device, and then a HIPAA Compliant web based portal for storage and physician review.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Sense4Baby System Model B+ (MSA), a home uterine activity monitor. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Huntliegh Healthcare Limited Fetal Assist, K020390) rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on clinical performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.
The document discusses various tests for safety, technical characteristics, and usability, but does not provide quantitative clinical performance data against specific acceptance criteria for fetal heart rate or uterine activity monitoring accuracy. Therefore, a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to diagnostic accuracy cannot be created from this document.
Here's an analysis of the information provided, addressing the requested points where possible, and noting where information is absent:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This document does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria for clinical performance (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for detecting fetal heart rate anomalies or uterine contractions) or the reported device performance against such metrics. The focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on technical characteristics, safety standards, and usability.
The document states: "Verification and validation activities established the performance, functionality, and reliability characteristics of the device with respect to the predicate. Testing involved sub-system, as well as system level tests. Pass/Fail criteria were based on the specifications cleared for the predicate devices and test results demonstrated substantial equivalence." However, the specific "specifications cleared for the predicate devices" and the numerical outcomes for comparison are not detailed.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Clinical Performance (if any): Not explicitly stated for specific clinical performance studies in this document. The document mentions "two separate studies to determine the ability of the user to operate the device in the home environment" (usability studies), but does not provide sample sizes for these or any other clinical tests.
- Data Provenance: Not specified for clinical performance data. The device is intended for "antenatal monitoring... in a health care setting or home."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable based on the provided document. The document does not describe a clinical study where experts established ground truth for a test set to evaluate the device's diagnostic performance. The document focuses on technical safety, functional characteristics, and usability.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring ground truth adjudication is described in the provided text.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study where human readers' performance with and without AI assistance was evaluated. The device itself is a monitoring system, not explicitly an AI-driven diagnostic interpretation tool in the context of reader study.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
The device is a "monitoring system" that measures and transmits data for "physician review." It is not an algorithm designed for standalone diagnostic performance (i.e., making a diagnosis without human interpretation). Therefore, a standalone algorithm-only performance study as typically understood for AI/ML diagnostic devices is not applicable or described. The document states it is "to be used by health care professionals and patients on the order of a physician," implying human-in-the-loop operation.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
Not applicable. The document does not describe clinical studies that established ground truth for diagnostic accuracy (e.g., pathology, outcomes data, expert consensus). The "ground truth" implicitly referred to in the context of "predicate comparison testing" would be the performance characteristics of the predicate device. For usability studies, the "ground truth" would be successful operation of the device by users.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a physiological monitoring system, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set in the typical sense for developing a diagnostic algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for an AI/ML algorithm.
Summary of Device Evaluation in the Document:
The 510(k) submission for the Sense4Baby System Model B+ (MSA) focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Huntliegh Healthcare Limited Fetal Assist, K020390) by comparing:
- Indications for Use: Found to be largely similar, with minor differences in gestation age for monitoring (Sense4Baby >= 24 weeks vs. Fetal Assist approx. 26 weeks).
- Technological Characteristics: Both use Doppler Ultrasound for FHR and relative pressure sensors for uterine activity. Minor differences in ultrasound frequency (1 MHz vs 1.5 MHz) and burst rate (3125 Hz vs 3200 Hz) are discussed and deemed not to raise new safety/effectiveness concerns.
- Safety and Performance Standards Compliance: The device claims compliance with numerous international standards for electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, risk management, and environmental testing (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993 series, ASTM D4169, ISO 14971, ISO 13485).
- Usability Studies: Two such studies (formative and summative) were conducted to ensure lay users could operate the device in a home environment with a "statistically equivalent" success rate to that in a healthcare provider environment. However, specific performance metrics or sample sizes for these usability studies are not detailed.
The document does not provide a traditional clinical performance study with defined acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) against a clinical ground truth. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the device's technical specifications and safety profile are comparable to a legally marketed predicate device.

Fetal Uttrasonic Monitor and Accessories (21 CFR § 884.2660) Home Uterine Activity Monitors (21 CFR § 884.2730
Re: K020390
Trade/Device Name: Fetal Assist for Home Uterine Monitoring Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.2730
The FETAL ASSIST is suitable for use in all conventional antepartum fetal monitoring applications. The FETAL ASSIST is specifically intended for use in the following specific areas: - antenatal monitoring in the hospital, doctors office, health clinic, home or community. - External Labour monitoring. - Waterbirth monitoring using optional waterproof transducers. - Home Uterine Activity Monitoring (HUAM) in conjunction with standard high-risk care, for the measurement of uterine activity for women with a history of preterm birth. - Domiciliary Non Stress Testing applications. The FETAL ASSIST is a prescription device.
The FETAL ASSIST is a modular product that provides a portable antepartum fetal monitor that produces fetal cardiotocographs (CTGs). CTG traces are displayed in real time on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which is integral to the Host Unit and can be reviewed or downloaded to an external printer and/or central location. The Assist can be powered by a stand-alone rechargeable battery pack. Alternatively, the Assist can be powered from the AC-powered supply via a power adapter.
The provided text describes the "FETAL ASSIST" device and its intended uses, along with the FDA's acknowledgement of its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, the document is a 510(k) summary and FDA clearance letter, which typically does not include detailed study results, acceptance criteria, or performance data in the format requested.
Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study details (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods), and comparative effectiveness studies is not present in the provided text.
Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Not provided. The document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific performance acceptance criteria or study outcomes in a quantitative manner. No performance attributes or measurements are mentioned against any acceptance thresholds.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not provided. The document does not mention any specific test set, sample sizes, or data provenance for any 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)
Not provided. No information regarding experts or ground truth establishment for a test set is included.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not provided. No adjudication method for a test set is mentioned.
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 provided. The "FETAL ASSIST" is described as a fetal monitor that produces and displays cardiotocographs (CTGs). It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and thus, a multi-reader multi-case comparative effectiveness study with AI assistance would not be applicable or expected for this device based on the description.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not provided. The FETAL ASSIST is a monitoring device that generates CTGs for human interpretation. It is not an algorithm for standalone diagnostic performance.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not provided. The document does not discuss the establishment of ground truth as it pertains to performance studies.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not provided. No information about a training set is included, as this is a monitoring device, not a machine learning model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not provided. No information about a training set or its ground truth is included.
