The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS) software, InstaPACS™/InstaRISPACS™. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific clinical studies with performance metrics.
Based on the provided text, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Description | Reported Device Performance/Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Substantial Equivalence | The device must demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, safety, and effectiveness. | "The new device and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, application, and intended use. The new device does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to the existing legally marketed devices." "Nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. Therefore, InstaPACS™/InstaRISPACS™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." |
| Functional Verification | The system must perform all intended input and output functions and actions in each operational mode. | "The complete system configuration has been assessed and tested at the factory and has passed all predetermined in-house testing criteria. The Validation Test Plan was designed to evaluate all input functions, output functions, and actions performed by the InstaPACS™InstaRISPACS™ software in each operational mode and followed the process documented in the System Validation Test Plan." "Validation testing indicated that as required by the risk analysis, designated individuals performed all verification and validation activities and that the results demonstrated that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met." |
| Safety Risks | The device should not introduce new safety risks. | "The new device does not raise any new potential safety risks..." |
| Performance Equivalence | The device should perform equivalently to existing legally marketed devices. | "...is equivalent in performance to the existing legally marketed devices." |
| Non-Diagnostic Role | The software itself is not intended to perform diagnosis, but rather to facilitate interpretation by qualified medical professionals. | "Diagnosis is not performed by the software but by Radiologists, Clinicians and referring Physicians. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed and printed." |
| Mammography Handling (Specific) | Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretation. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MPixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA. | The "Indications for Use" statement explicitly includes these conditions as part of the device's intended use and limitations. The document doesn't provide a specific "performance" against this, but rather states these as conditions of use to meet regulatory requirements, implying the device is designed to operate within these constraints. |
Study Information:
The provided document describes a Nonclinical Testing approach for the InstaPACS™/InstaRISPACS™ system. This is a foundational regulatory submission that demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing detailed clinical study results with performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, etc.) in the way one might expect for a diagnostic AI algorithm.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document mentions "The complete system configuration has been assessed and tested at the factory and has passed all predetermined in-house testing criteria." It also states, "Validation testing indicated that as required by the risk analysis, designated individuals performed all verification and validation activities and that the results demonstrated that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met."
- However, no specific sample size for a "test set" of medical images or patient cases is provided. The testing appears to be centered on system functionality and software validation, not a clinical performance study with annotated data.
- Data provenance: Not explicitly stated regarding specific images used for any functional validation. The submitter is MEDDIFF Technologies Pvt. Ltd. based in Bangalore, Karnataka - India.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not provided as the study described is a nonclinical, system validation rather than a clinical performance study. The document states, "Diagnosis is not performed by the software but by Radiologists, Clinicians and referring Physicians. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed and printed." This indicates that human experts are responsible for interpretation, but it doesn't describe their role in establishing a ground truth for testing the software's performance in a diagnostic capacity.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable / not provided. The type of testing performed did not involve a clinical ground truth adjudication process.
-
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for a PACS system, which is a tool for viewing and managing images, not an AI-assisted diagnostic algorithm in the sense that would require an MRMC study to show improved reader performance. The device's role is to display and manipulate images for human interpretation, not to provide diagnostic findings or assist with them through AI.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable / not done. The device itself is a PACS system; its "performance" is in its ability to display, process, store, and communicate images reliably and without error, facilitating human interpretation. It is not an algorithm that produces a diagnostic output on its own. The document explicitly states: "Diagnosis is not performed by the software but by Radiologists, Clinicians and referring Physicians."
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not applicable / not specified for clinical performance. The ground truth for the nonclinical system validation would be whether the software performs its specified functions (e.g., displaying an image correctly, performing window/level adjustments, storing data, communicating across networks) as designed, based on engineering requirements and test protocols.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable / not provided. This device is a PACS software, not an AI algorithm that undergoes a "training" phase with a dataset.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable / not provided. As this is not an AI algorithm requiring a training set, the concept of establishing ground truth for training is irrelevant to this submission.
