IV - Substantial equivalence comparison
The devices 3mensio Workstation (K153736) and TOMTEC-ARENA (K213544) have been selected as predicate devices for 3mensio Workstation. The selected devices have technological features and characteristics comparable to 3mensio Workstation and are intended to be used by or under supervision of a cardiologist or radiologist to support clinical decision making of cardiovascular conditions.
The primary predicate device, 3mensio Workstation (K153736), is an earlier version of the current 3mensio Workstation product. The indications for use of the two devices are similar. The two products provide the same functionalities for advanced visualization and measurements of structures of the heart, heart valves and vessels to assist in pre-operational planning and sizing for cardiovascular interventions and surgery and postoperative evaluation. Additionally they both feature functionality for segmentation of cardiovascular structures, quantify dimensions and calcifications in coronary arteries and have measurement and annotation tools. All these functionalities are supported in both the new 3mensio Workstation product and the predicate device 3mensio Workstation (K153736). Therefore, the predicate device 3mensio Workstation (K153736) is selected as the primary predicate device.
The differences in technological characteristics between the predicate device K153736 and the device 3mensio Workstation are that the new 3mensio Workstation runs from a web browser intended for usage in a network or cloud environment. Predicate device K153736 is only a standalone usage device. Furthermore, 3mensio Workstation includes calcium quantification of more cardiovascular structures than the predicate device K153736 which only included calcium quantification in the coronary arteries. In addition, the 3mensio Workstation includes machine learning (ML) features for some of the functionalities already available in the primary predicate device.
Another difference between the previous generation of the 3mensio Workstation product, 3mensio Workstation (K153736) and the current device is a workflow for mitral valve analysis on 3D ultrasound images (3D US mitral valve). The selected secondary predicate device, TOMTEC-ARENA (K213544), offers similar functionality and is therefore selected as a secondary predicate device. Both software applications use the same types of data and operating principles for the user and technology regarding data import, analysis, image display and storage of results.
A summary of the technological characteristics of the subject device and predicate devices is demonstrated in the Table below.

V - Performance Data
Verification and validation of the 3mensio Workstation showed that the system requirements – derived from the indications for use and defined user needs – as well as risk control measures were implemented correctly, and that the device meets its specifications including conformance to the international recognized process standards (i.e., ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, IEC 62366-1, and IEC 82304-1).
Documentation is provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and verification and validation was performed per the FDA Guidance "Technical Performance Assessment of Quantitative Imaging in Radiological Device Premarket Submission'. Performance testing was conducted where the results of automatically determined segmentation and measurements was evaluated against ground-truth values manually obtained by experts with the primary predicate device. The results showed high accuracy and agreement with the predicate device, meeting all predefined acceptance criteria. The performance tests included statistical methods such as Bland-Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) calculations and Dice coefficient.
Testing Characteristics
The performance testing was based upon a multi-centric observational cohort study involving MSCT datasets of 65 patients indicated for valvular intervention. The cohort comprised of at least 50% datasets from USA. The age range of the studied cohort was 38-99 years, with 50% female subjects. The cohort included CT scans from different CT manufacturers and covered imaging parameters such as different slice thickness and contrast enhancement. No datasets were included that were used for training the machine learning models.
Testing Methodology and Statistical Approach
The accuracy of the automatically determined segmentations was evaluated using Dice scores. The segmentations covered various cardiovascular structures including the aortic nadir positions, mitral annulus plane tricuspid annulus.
The accuracy of automatically determined measurements was evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Segmentation Results
The resulting Dice scores ranged from 0.94 ± 0.07 for the mitral annulus, 0.87 ± 0.12 for the tricuspid annulus. The average distance from the automatically detected nadir positions towards the ground truth annular plane was -/- 0.64 ± 1.07 mm. These values demonstrate that a high accuracy is achieved for the automatically determined segmentations meeting the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
Measurements Results:
The ICC values were 0.99 for the measurements on the aortic annulus plane derived from the aortic nadir positions, 0.94 and above for the measurements on the mitral annulus and 0.97 and above for the measurements on the tricuspid annulus indicating excellent agreement with the ground-truth values obtained by experts. Bland-Altman analysis shows excellent agreement between the automatically determined measurements and the measurements obtained by experts.
Based on the above it can be concluded that the automatically determined segmentations and measurements are as accurate and reliable as those obtained using the predicate device. Overall, comparable performance was achieved on all variability factors including geographic location, scanners, slice thickness, age, and gender.
The verification and validation results demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of 3mensio Workstation in relation to its intended use and indications for use and therefore 3mensio Workstation can be considered as safe and effective as its predicate devices.
VI - Conclusion
Based on the application of risk management and performance testing inherent to PMI's QA system (compliant with recognized standards as stated above) the conclusion is that 3mensio Workstation is as safe and effective as its predicate device in terms of indications for use, technological characteristics, measurements, and operating environment and does not raise any new issues related to safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.
