(211 days)
The Infrascanner is indicated for the detection of traumatic supratentorial hematomas of as small as 3.5mL and as deep as 2.5 cm from brain surface, but not both at the same time, as an adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation in the acute hospital setting of adult patients and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with suspected traumatic supratentorial intracranial hematoma. The device is indicated to assess patients for CT scans but should not serve as a substitute for these scans, the device should only be used to rule in subjects for the presence of hematoma, never to rule out. The Infrascanner is indicated for use by Physicians, or under the direction of a physician, who has been trained in the use of the device.
The device is a noninvasive device, which uses near-infrared spectroscopy ("NIRS") to provide early information about the possible development of traumatic supratentorial intracranial hematomas in patients presenting to hospitals with head trauma. This technology involves comparing regional differences in absorbance of NIR light. The application of NIRS to hematoma evaluation is based on the principle that intracranial hemoglobin concentration will differ where a hematoma is present, compared to hemoglobin concentrations in normal intracranial regions. The system consists of a Class I NIR-based sensor. The sensor is optically coupled to the patient's head through two disposable light guides in a "hairbrush" configuration. Examination with the Infrascanner is performed through placement of the sensor on designated areas of the head that represent the most common locations for traumatic hematoma. The examination is designed to be performed within two minutes.
Here's an analysis of the Infrascanner Model 2500's acceptance criteria and the study proving it meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence are based on a comparison between the upgraded Infrascanner Model 2500 (subject device) and its predicate (the existing Infrascanner Model 2500 cleared under K211617). The primary change in the subject device is an increase in laser power from 100mW to 200mW to improve readings in very dark-skinned individuals. The acceptance criteria essentially boil down to demonstrating that this change does not negatively impact performance and, ideally, shows improvement in the area it aims to address.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (200mW subject device vs. 100mW predicate) |
|---|---|---|
| Phantom Testing: | ||
| - Optical Density (OD) | Substantially equivalent performance between 200mW and 100mW laser power settings across a range of simulated hematoma sizes and depths and for all skin color groups (light-skinned to very dark-skinned). | Phantom tests established that the Infrascanner Model 2500 had "substantially equivalent performance" between 200mW and 100mW settings across hematoma sizes/depths and skin colors. |
| Laser Power Comparability Protocol: | Difference between models (100mW vs. 200mW) should be less than 5% in absolute OD. | Met the acceptance criteria; difference between models was less than 5% in absolute OD. |
| Clinical Performance: | ||
| - Sensitivity | In patients with a detectable hematoma, the sensitivity of the 200mW device should be equivalent to the 100mW device. Implicitly, the lower bound of the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for sensitivity of the 200mW device should not be significantly lower than that of the 100mW device. | Sensitivity: - 100mW in 71 patient subgroup: 100.0% (CI: 88.4-100) - 200mW in 71 patient subgroup: 96.7% (CI: 82.8-99.9) Conclusion: Equivalent sensitivity. (Note: CI overlap supports equivalence despite slightly lower point estimate for 200mW). |
| - Specificity | In patients with no hematomas, the specificity of the 200mW device should be equivalent to the 100mW device. Implicitly, the lower bound of the 95% CI for specificity of the 200mW device should not be significantly lower than that of the 100mW device, or show improvement. | Specificity: - 100mW in 71 patient subgroup: 36.6% (CI: 22.1-53.1) - 200mW in 71 patient subgroup: 43.9% (CI: 28.5-60.3) Conclusion: Equivalent specificity. (The 200mW specificity is slightly higher, with overlapping CIs, supporting equivalence or slight improvement). |
| - Ability to Measure Dark Skin | The 200mW device should be able to complete measurements in individuals where the 100mW device cannot due to very dark skin. | In three very dark skin individuals where measurements could not be collected with 100mW scanner, the proposed 200mW setting scanner was able to complete the measurements. Conclusion: Achieved the intended improvement. |
| Other (Bench) Testing: | Compliance with relevant IEC standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, AIM 7351731 RFID Immunity, IEC 60825-1). | All listed IEC tests yielded acceptable results. |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set
- Clinical Test Set Sample Size:
- Overall study cohort: 387 patients
- Patients with hematomas within detection range of Infrascanner: 138 patients
- Subgroup randomly selected for 100mW and 200mW comparisons: 71 patients (30 of whom had hematomas within detection range)
- Data Provenance: The clinical study was conducted in Mbarara Hospital in Uganda. The study was prospective, as it evaluated "672 consecutive patients with confirmed or suspected head trauma who received a head CT scan," and then a subset was further analyzed with the Infrascanner.
3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth. However, the ground truth was based on head CT scans, which implies interpretation by qualified medical professionals, most likely radiologists.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe a specific adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) for the interpretation of the CT scans or Infrascanner results. The CT scan results appear to have been taken as the definitive ground truth for hematoma presence and size.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly done in the sense of comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.
- This study evaluates the standalone performance of the Infrascanner device itself, and specifically how the increased laser power affects its ability to detect hematomas in different skin types and its overall diagnostic metrics compared to its predecessor. The Infrascanner is presented as an "adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation," meaning it aids human decision-making, but the study focuses on the device's inherent diagnostic accuracy rather than the improvement of human readers when using the device.
6. Standalone Performance
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV presented in Table 3 directly represent the algorithm-only performance of the Infrascanner Model 2500 (both 100mW and 200mW versions) against the CT scan ground truth.
- The device is intended to "rule in subjects for the presence of hematoma, never to rule out," and its performance metrics reflect this intended standalone screening capability.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the clinical study was CT scans (Computed Tomography scans) of the head. This is stated as "confirmed or suspected head trauma who received a head CT scan" and "Overall Infrascanner and CT data were available for 387 patients."
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set used to develop or refine the Infrascanner algorithm. It focuses on the validation of the modified device. Given that the subject device is an upgrade of an existing device (predicate), the original algorithm would have been developed using a prior training set, which is not detailed here. The clinical study described here serves more as a retraining or validation set for the performance of the upgraded hardware.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As the training set details are not provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not described in this document. Assuming the original predicate device (K211617) followed a similar validation methodology, it is highly probable that its training ground truth was also established using CT scans of the head, as CT is the gold standard for detecting intracranial hematomas.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The Infrascanner Model 2500 is the same device as the predicate Model 2500 except for an upgrade of laser power from 100 mW to 200 mW to enable readings in very dark-skinned people. As illustrated in Table 1, the subject device has the same indication for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The enhancement of increased laser power raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness as demonstrated by clinical performance data and bench data and is substantially equivalent.

PERFORMANCE DATA VII.
The following clinical testing and non-clinical testing was conducted to demonstrate the appropriate substantial equivalence of the Infrascanner Model 2500 to the predicate.
Phantom Testing
A skin color test was performed using a phantom head model. Test data were collected using filters to model three skin color groups for various hematoma size and depths. Measurements were made using the 100mW and 200mW scanners. The test data sets established that the Infrascanner Model 2500 had substantially equivalent performance between 200mW and 100mW laser power settings across a range of simulated hematoma sizes and depths and for light-skinned to very dark-skinned people.
Laser Power Performance Comparability Protocol
Five (5) Model 2500 scanners were used to perform optical density measurements across a range of different attenuations at 200mW and 100mW. The difference between models met the acceptance criteria and was less than 5% in absolute OD.
{7}------------------------------------------------
IEC Testing
Other bench testing the following testing with acceptable results for all tests: IEC 60601-1; IEC 60601-1-2; AIM 7351731 RFID Immunity; and IEC 60825-1.
Clinical Performance
Duke University Global Neurosurgery studied the Infrascanner in Mbarara hospital in Uganda. The study evaluated 672 consecutive patients with confirmed or suspected head trauma who received a head CT scan. Overall Infrascanner and CT data were available for 387 patients. Table 2 includes the demographics and the injury description of the whole analyzed cohort of 387 patients.

Table 3: Infrascanner Detection Performance of Hematomas Within the Detection Range of the Device
Based on the results of this study, the clinical performance of the Infrascanner at 200mW laser power setting is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Infrascanner at 100mW laser power setting. The analysis of clinical data concluded that i) in patients with a detectable hematoma, the sensitivity of both laser power settings was equivalent, ii) in patients with no hematomas, the specificity in both laser power settings was equivalent, and iii) in three very dark skin individuals where measurements could not be collected with 100mW scanner, the proposed 200mW setting scanner was able to complete the measurements.
IX. CONCLUSION
Based on the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, acceptable performance testing, and clinical validation the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and raises no additional or different questions of safety or effectiveness
