Intended Use
The HealthFLD device is an image processing software that provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the liver from CT images to support clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of Fatty Liver. The HealthFLD software provides measurements of liver attenuation (mean HU in a region of interest). HealthFLD is indicated for use in non-contrast and contrast CT scans, with any clinical indication, for patients aged 18 up to 75. CTs must include a significant part of the liver. The HealthFLD device is not intended to provide a diagnosis or risk assessment of fatty liver disease.
Device Story
HealthFLD is image processing software for CT scans; inputs DICOM images; uses deep-learning-based segmentation to identify liver; calculates mean Hounsfield Units (HU) in regions of interest; automatically detects portal venous contrast phase to adjust display thresholds (<40 HU for non-contrast/non-portal, <75 HU for portal venous). Used in clinical settings by physicians; results integrated into hosting application. Provides quantitative liver density measurements to support clinical assessment of fatty liver; does not provide diagnosis or risk assessment. Benefits include standardized, automated liver attenuation quantification to assist clinician evaluation.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective bench study of 250 anonymized CT scans from 4 institutions; ground truth established by 3 board-certified radiologists. Primary endpoints: agreement with ground truth binary classification and Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA). Results: 95.98% agreement for <40 HU threshold; 98.39% agreement for <50 HU threshold. Bland-Altman LOA [-7.80 HU, 7.00 HU] within acceptance interval [-10 HU, 10 HU]. 94.78% of differences within LOA. Algorithm portal venous phase identification agreement: 95.98%.
Technological Characteristics
Image processing software; DICOM input; deep-learning-based segmentation; Hounsfield Unit (HU) measurement; standalone software module; integrates with hosting applications; operates on CT imaging data.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients aged 18-75 undergoing non-contrast or contrast CT scans that include a significant portion of the liver, to support clinicians in evaluating fatty liver via quantitative/qualitative analysis.

# Device Description:
The HealthFLD device is an image processing software that provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the liver from CT images to support clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of Fatty Liver.
The HealthFLD software provides measurements of liver attenuation (mean HU in a region of interest) for any compatible CT scan that includes a significant part of the liver
The Liver measurement display threshold is <40 HU for non-contrast/non portal venous phase CTs. When portal venous contrast phase is identified by the algorithm, the HealthFLD device automatically adjusts the display threshold to <75 HU.
The following modules compose the HealthFLD software:
- 1) Data input and validation: DICOM validation receives imaging study from hosting application and the validation feature assessed the input data (i.e. age, modality, view, etc.) to ensure compatibility for processing by the algorithm.
- 2) HealthFLD algorithm: Once a study has been validated, the algorithm analyzes the CT for analysis and quantification.
- 3) IMA Integration feature: The results of a successful study analysis is provided to the hosting application.
- 4) Error codes feature: In the case of a study failure during data validation or the analysis by the algorithm, an error is provided to the system.

### Performance Data:
The HealthFLD was designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820.
Safety and performance of HealthFLD has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through Software Development and Validation & Verification Process to ensure performance according to specifications, User Requirements and Federal Regulations and Guidance documents, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
The HealthFLD device performance was evaluated in a stand-alone retrospective study of its performance compared to the established ground truth and respective to the predicate device. The objective of this study was to establish the safety, effectiveness and substantial equivalence of the HealthFLD software as compared to the predicate device (Nano-X AI Ltd. HealthOST, (K213944)). The HealthFLD overall performance was determined by comparing the device output measurements, to the ground truth measurements. The validation data-set included 250 cases.
The validation data-set included a truthed and enriched sample of 250 anonymized CT scans with at least 4 cm of liver from the superior aspect of the liver, from 4 healthcare institutions. The sample included sufficient representation from across the disease spectrum for the key measurement parameter provided by the device, namely mean liver attenuation (measured in Hounsfield Units). Ground truth measurements were determined by three US board-certified radiologists.
The validation data-set included 250 cases, of which the algorithm returned a result on 250 cases, a yield of 100%. Patient age ranged from 18-75 y.o (mean age of 51.7 years; SD=15.5) and 49% (122) were female. 50% of CTs were contrasts enhanced, and 62.25% (155) CTs were from U.S. data. The validation dataset represented the inclusion parameters, such as: Modality (CT), Axial orientation, Slice Thickness, and KVP.
The HealthFLD device demonstrated an overall agreement of 95.98% (95% C1: [92.77%, 97.8%] with the ground truth liver score binary classification of < 40HU and of 98.39% (95% CI: [95.94%, 99.37%]) with the binary classification liver score < 50HU versus ≥ 50HU, both exceeding the stated performance goal. The method comparison analysis demonstrated Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement (LOAs) for the HealthFLD liver density bias versus the ground truth liver score of [-7.80HU, 7.00HU], which lie within the acceptance interval of [-10HU,10HU]. 94.78% (95% CI:[91.24%-97.19%]) of the differences between HealthFLD and the GT lie within the LOA which is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K213944). The overall agreement for HealthFLD algorithm versus the ground truth identification of portal venous phase was 95.98%.
All CT data across the inclusion criteria were well supported by the HealthFLD device.

Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for Nanox AI. The logo consists of two parts: a stylized graphic on the left and the text "NANOXAI" on the right. The graphic is an abstract shape with a grid-like pattern, colored in shades of blue and yellow. The text "NANOXAI" is written in a sans-serif font, with "NANOX" in blue and "AI" in yellow.
In conclusion, this study demonstrated the HealthFLD overall agreement and limits of agreement with respect to the ground truth liver measurements and establishes its safety and effectiveness, while demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device. It also validated the performance of the HealthFLD device across important cohorts, and applicable subsets of imaging acquisition characteristics.
### Conclusion:
Based on the information submitted in this premarket notification, and based on the indications for use, technological characteristics and performance testing, HealthFLD device raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, efficacy and performance.
The results of the performance comparison study demonstrated that the HealthFLD device performs as intended, similarly to the predicate device. We can conclude that the HealthFLD device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as well as the predicate device.
The HealthFLD device is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
