Study Information
The acceptance criteria were met through a performance study that assessed the device's compliance with established industry standards for medical displays.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of a number of devices tested. The testing appears to have been conducted on a single instance of the Apple iMac 27" 5K Retina with PL4.0.
- Data Provenance: The data is reported as being generated from tests performed on the device itself. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the submission is for the U.S. FDA, and the company is based in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. The study is prospective in nature as it involves testing a specific device to confirm its performance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable as the ground truth for this device's performance is objective and based on established technical standards (DICOM Part 14 GSDF and AAPM TG18). The "ground truth" is defined by these standards, not expert consensus on image interpretation.
- For the AAPM TG18 test, a "user" analyzed test patterns and recorded answers, implying a single, presumably trained, individual performed the visual assessment portion of the test. Qualifications are not specified beyond being able to follow the test procedure.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable. The tests are objective, with comparison of measured and visually assessed data against predefined target values from the DICOM and AAPM TG18 standards. There is no mention of multiple reviewers requiring an adjudication method.
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:
- No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is a display system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so the concept of human readers improving with or without AI assistance does not apply.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not directly applicable in the terms of an "algorithm only" as typically seen with AI. However, the DICOM conformance test involved the QUBYX PL 4.0 software generating the test procedure, measuring display characteristics with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro, and then the software analyzing results against DICOM standard target values, generating a report. This part of the test is highly automated and "standalone" in its assessment of compliance.
- The AAPM TG18 test also involved software-generated procedures and meter measurements, but it also included "visual parts" where a user analyzed test patterns and recorded answers. So it was not entirely standalone without human-in-the-loop for the AAPM TG18 test.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- The ground truth for both DICOM and AAPM TG18 compliance is defined by the respective technical standards (DICOM Part 14 GSDF and AAPM TG18). For the DICOM test, it was a comparison against "target values, defined by DICOM standard." For the AAPM TG18 test, it was a comparison against "target values, defined by AAPM standard."
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device is a display system and does not involve AI or machine learning algorithms that require a "training set." The PerfectLum software is for calibration and verification, not for image analysis or diagnosis.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Details of testing:
To verify DICOM conformance, a DICOM conformance test was performed, using QUBYX PL 4.0 software and an X-Rite i1 Display Pro measurement device. The test procedure was generated by the software in accordance with the requirements of the DICOM standard. It consisted of measurement steps, where the meter measured display's characteristics and the software recorded them. Then the software analyzed the results in comparison with target values, defined by DICOM standard, and generated the report, stating that the display is DICOM-conformant.
The display device has successfully passed DICOM conformance test, so it is compliant with DICOM Part 14 GSDF standard. So is the predicate device, so the two devices are substantially equivalent in this regard.
To verify AAPM TG18 conformance, an acceptance test was performed, using QUBYX PerfectLum software and an X-Rite i1 Display Pro measurement device. The test procedure was generated by the software in accordance with the requirements of the AAPM TG18 standard and consisted of measurement and visual parts.
During the measurement steps, the meter measured display's characteristics and the software recorded them. During the visual steps, the user analyzed test patterns, generated by the software in accordance with AAPM standard. The software recorded the user's answers. Then the software analyzed the results in comparison with target values, defined by AAPM standard, and generated the report, stating that the display passes AAPM TG18 acceptance test.
The display device has successfully passed AAPM TG18 acceptance test, so it is compliant with AAPM TG18 standard and can be used as a primary category display for interpretation of medical images. The same is true for the predicate device, so the two devices are substantially equivalent in this regard.
Both devices have the same indications for use, except for predicate device it is not specified that it will not contact with the patient.
We can conclude that the new and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in terms of performance, indications for use, and principles of operation.

Conclusion:
The comparison table shows that the subject device (Apple iMac 27" 5k Retina with PerfectLum 4.0) has the same intended use as the predicate. Although the devices have some different technological characteristics, as a higher resolution and higher maximum luminance, these differences do not make the subject device less safe and reliable, so the subject device fits for diagnostic use as the predicate device does.
Both devices are compliant with DICOM Part 14 GSDF and AAPM TG18 standards. To verify DICOM and AAPM compliance for the subject device, AAPM acceptance test and DICOM conformance test were also performed.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
