(269 days)
eyonis® LCS is indicated for use by radiologists. eyonis® LCS assists radiologists in the detection, localization and characterization of solid and part-solid probably benign, suspicious and very suspicious pulmonary parenchymal nodules with a diameter of 4-30 mm (pure ground glass, mediastinal lesions and masses - including but not limited to hilar masses - are excluded).
The eyonis® LCS - lung nodules result report provides, for each reported nodule, the following information: slice number, malignancy score, full snapshot, close-up snapshot, diameters (long/short/average) and volume.
The eyonis® LCS - lung nodules result report is indicated to aid in diagnosis as well as to aid in follow-up exam evaluations and as an adjunct to support clinical/patient management.
It cannot, however, substitute for medical experts' clinical judgment.
The target population is higher-risk patients eligible for participation in lung cancer screening programs (as per USPSTF criteria) with the exception of patients with pure ground glass cancer only and hilar/mediastinal cancer who are excluded from the intended population.
It is indicated for use with low-dose Chest CT DICOM images. The exact specifications are described in a DICOM Conformance Statement (DCS) document.
eyonis® LCS is an AI/ML technology-based end-to-end CADe/CADx Software as Medical Device (SaMD) intended to allow early detection, localization and characterization of pulmonary parenchymal nodules from LDCT DICOM images produced during Chest CT examinations.
The product consists of a Container-based Image Processing chain with no associated viewer. The software applies algorithms for detection, localization and characterization of solid and part-solid nodules. These algorithms employ proprietary AI and Machine Learning models trained with large databases containing proven examples of lung cancer lesions and benign nodules.
Processing results of eyonis® LCS are given in the form of a DICOM 'result report' which displays probably benign/suspicious/very suspicious nodules with a malignancy risk score per nodule, ranked by score and an associated malignancy rate observed in our reference population.
The result report is saved directly as a DICOM file for the purpose of being stored on a PACS system. It is transmitted back to the Median Gateway to be dispatched to a configured location, local hard drive or a DICOM Service class provider. Alternatively, Dicom Web and HL7 are supported.
eyonis trust, a license server, addresses important challenges such as authorizing or revoking customer access to eyonis® LCS 1.1, tracking software usage, and ensuring legal compliance with licensing contracts.
eyonis® LCS output is not intended to replace the clinical judgment of the interpreting physician and should only be used along with clinical interpretation.
The software can be deployed in any environment that supports Kubernetes deployment (Cloud based or on premises) as a set of orchestrated containers.
Software deployment is flexible and allows 3 installation methods, depending on the infrastructure, resources and capabilities.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the eyonis® LCS 1.1 device, based on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criterion | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone Study: | ||
| Patient-level AUROC | > 0.800 | 0.904 [0.881-0.926] p<0.0001 |
| Sensitivity at COT | > 70% | 84.50% [80.22-88.17] p<0.0001 |
| Specificity at COT | > 70% | 80.25% [77.33-82.95] p<0.0001 |
| AULROC | > 0.750 | 0.869 [0.843-0.894] p<0.0001 |
| MRMC Reader Study: | ||
| Primary Endpoint: | ||
| ΔAUC (aided – unaided) | > 0, p<0.05 | 0.0158 [0.0032-0.0288], p = 0.0277 (aided AUC = 0.8434 / unaided AUC = 0.8276) |
| Secondary Endpoints: | ||
| ΔSensitivity (aided – unaided) | > 0 | 1.25 [-1.52-4.02] (aided = 93.75% / unaided = 92.50%) (p>0.05, non-significant superior) |
| ΔSpecificity (aided – unaided) | > 0, p<0.05 | 4.14 [0.27-8.01] (aided = 53.59% / unaided = 49.45%) (p<0.05, significant) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Standalone Study Test Set:
- Sample Size: 1,147 patients (342 cancers, 805 non-cancer cases).
- Data Provenance: Retrospective cohort study from 7 different datasets: 2 academic sites in Europe, 3 academic sites in the United States, and 2 private American data providers. The study population was high-risk individuals (50-80 years old with a history of smoking) and enriched for cancer prevalence, nodule size, and spiculation.
- MRMC Reader Study Test Set:
- Sample Size: 480 total patient images.
- Data Provenance: Retrospective study from patients across the United States and Europe.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Standalone Study: The ground truth was established by "radiologist consensus." The number of radiologists involved specific to this consensus is not explicitly stated, nor are their detailed qualifications beyond being "radiologist."
- MRMC Reader Study: The ground truth was established by a "reference standard" which the radiologists' performance was compared against. The document doesn't explicitly state the number of experts used to establish this specific reference standard, nor their qualifications. However, the readers involved in the study were 16 US Board Certified radiologists with an average of 13.31 years of experience (ranging from 2 to 32 years). These are the readers whose performance was evaluated against the ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not explicitly state a specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing the ground truth for either the standalone or MRMC study. It mentions "radiologist consensus" for the standalone study and "reference standard" for the MRMC study, implying a consensual agreement but without detailing the process.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
Yes, a pivotal MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done.
- Effect Size of Human Readers' Improvement with AI vs. without AI Assistance:
- Primary Endpoint (AUC): The ∆AUC (aided – unaided) was 0.0158 [0.0032-0.0288], with a p-value of 0.0277, indicating a statistically significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy.
- Sensitivity: The ∆Sensitivity (aided – unaided) was 1.25% (aided = 93.75%, unaided = 92.50%). While numerically superior, this was not statistically significant for superiority (p>0.05). However, it met the secondary non-inferiority objective.
- Specificity: The ∆Specificity (aided – unaided) was 4.14% (aided = 53.59%, unaided = 49.45%), which was statistically significant (p<0.05), demonstrating improved specificity.
- Inter-reader Agreement (Patient Score): Increased from ICC of 0.707 (unaided) to 0.830 (aided), with p<0.0001.
- Inter-reader Agreement (Patient Management): Kappa value increased from 0.3507 (unaided) to 0.4898 (aided), with p<0.05.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, a standalone performance test was executed on eyonis® LCS. The results are reported in the "Non-clinical Performance Testing" section and are detailed in the table above (patient-level AUROC, sensitivity, specificity, and AULROC).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Standalone Study: The reference standard was proven via histopathology or ≥12 months stability.
- MRMC Reader Study: The document refers to a "reference standard" against which reader performance was compared, but does not explicitly detail the nature of this reference standard (e.g., specific pathology, expert consensus) within the provided text for the reader study data. However, given the context of lung nodule characterization, it is highly likely to be based on histopathology for confirmed cancers and stability for benign nodules, consistent with the standalone study.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document states that the AI and Machine Learning models were "trained with large databases containing proven examples of lung cancer lesions and benign nodules." However, the exact sample size for the training set is not provided in the given text.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
The document states that the models were trained with "large databases containing proven examples of lung cancer lesions and benign nodules." This implies that the ground truth for the training set was established through definitive diagnostic methods, likely similar to the test set (e.g., histopathology for malignancies and long-term stability or biopsy for benign cases). However, the specific methodology for establishing ground truth for the training set is not explicitly detailed in the provided text.

8 Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
eyonis® LCS has the same intended use as the predicate device. Both devices are intended to be used by clinicians interpreting radiological images, to help them with detecting, localizing and characterizing abnormalities. The devices are both intended to be used concurrently with the reading of images and are not intended as a replacement for the review of a clinician or their clinical judgement.
The indication for use of eyonis® LCS and the predicate device differ in the target organ and disease-specific findings the devices detect, the type of medical images the devices process, and the intended patient population. However, these differences do not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

10-point scale score indicative of higher frequency of cancer positive.
| Interaction with findings | Upon user request by clicking in a position of the image also detected by TransparaTM. | Findings are by-default displayed when score is equal or higher to 2. | Both are implementations of the same intention: reducing the number of findings the user has to review. Substantially equivalent. |
| Device output & user interface | Distinguishes two types of suspicious findings (calcifications and soft tissue lesions). The device output includes the location and the outline of findings. Transpara™ processing server is a standalone system WITHOUT a user interface. | Only targets one type of findings (nodules, solid/part-solid). Median LCS result report includes the localization (slice number), two snapshots, diameters and volume. Same. | Despite some differences between the predicate device and Median LCS, device output and user interface are still comparable and do not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness of the device. |
| Fundamental scientific technology | A chain of medical image processing and machine learning techniques are implemented. The device includes 'deep learning' modules for recognition of suspicious lesions. These modules are trained with very large databases of cancer and normal patients proven by biopsy or follow-up. | SAME | Yes, identical |
The overall design of eyonis® LCS is similar to that of the predicate device. Differences in technological characteristics of eyonis® LCS and the predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

eyonis® LCS is a software-only device, aka Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). The recommended documentation level is Basic Documentation Level.
9.2 Non-clinical Performance Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted to provide evidence that eyonis® LCS meets user needs and its intended use. Testing results demonstrate that the software specifications meet acceptance criteria.
A standalone performance test was executed on eyonis® LCS to demonstrate generalizability and performance endpoints on a retrospective cohort study that evaluated eyonis® LCS SaMD across a larger, and enriched cohort of 1,147 patients (342 cancers, 805 non-cancer cases) from 7 different datasets (2 academic sites in Europe, 3 academic sites in the United States and 2 private American data providers). The dataset was enriched for cancer prevalence, nodules size and spiculation. A 1:2 cancer to benign ratio was chosen to ensure that sufficient cancer cases were available to statistically power the endpoints, but to also ensure that there was adequate sampling of the non-cancerous population which is very heterogeneous. The study population met stringent eligibility criteria, focusing on high-risk individuals aged 50 to 80 with a history of smoking. LDCT exams were analyzed with the CADe/CADx and the output (LCS report) compared to radiologist consensus. Reference standard proven via histopathology or ≥12 months stability.
The Clinical Operating Threshold (COT) for the Standalone study was pre-determined prior to study execution as the threshold between LCS scores 3 and 4 of the device eyonis® LCS.
In the Standalone study described above, eyonis® LCS achieved:
- a patient-level AUROC of 0.904 [0.881-0.926] p<0.0001 (acceptance criterion: AUROC>0.800),
- a sensitivity at COT of 84.50% [80.22-88.17] p<0.0001 (acceptance criterion: sensitivity at COT > 70%),
- a specificity at COT of 80.25% [77.33-82.95] p<0.0001 (acceptance criterion: specificity at COT > 70%),
- an AULROC of 0.869 [0.843-0.894] p<0.0001 (acceptance criterion: AULROC>0.750) which confirms eyonis® LCS' localization capability.
As part of exploratory analyses, FROC analysis yielded a sensitivity at COT of 80.59% [76.20-84.49] and a false-positive rate of 0.271 [0.235-0.313] per scan.
9.3 Clinical Performance Testing
A pivotal reader study has been conducted to determine whether the performance of radiologists in detecting and characterizing lung nodules increases when they use eyonis® LCS – Lung nodules result report compared to when they read LDCT unaided.
Median Technologies conducted a Paired-Split Plot (PSP) multi-readers, multi-cases (MRMC) retrospective reader study to assess the impact of eyonis® LCS on reader performance in detecting pulmonary nodules on chest low dose CT images. The study consisted of 16 clinical readers (13.31 mean year of experience, from 2 to 32 years of experience) and 480 total patient images. The subject population was composed of patients from across the United States as well as from Europe. The readers participating in the study were all US Board Certified radiologists from multiple regions within

the US with varied years of experience and specialties. They were de-identified for the purposes of the study.
The study was conducted sequentially to simulate use of the product in clinical practice. In each block of 120 patients, readers interpreted each patient twice: unaided (control arm) and aided by eyonis® LCS (test arm), in a random order.
For the control arm, radiologists were asked to interpret the images as they would in standard clinical practice and note findings with a bounding box and associated level of confidence in their interpretation.
The study compared unaided and aided radiologist performance at detecting pulmonary nodules, localizing them and characterizing as compared to the reference standard. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether the accuracy of readers aided by eyonis® LCS was significantly superior to the accuracy of readers unaided as determined by the image-level Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.
For the MRMC study, a clinically relevant threshold allows to separate a patient that would continue as per normal (annual screening visit) and a patient for whom the follow-up is changed (screening frequency increased). It corresponds to the notion of 'recall rate'. Follow-up decisions were collected directly from the radiologists in the eCRF, recall rates are based on those collected decisions.
The study successfully met its primary objective, demonstrating that the use of eyonis® LCS result report significantly improved radiologist's diagnostic performance compared to using the scan alone:
- Acceptance criterion: ∆AUC (aided – unaided) > 0, p<0.05
- Results: aided AUC = 0.8434 / unaided AUC = 0.8276 / ∆AUC (aided – unaided) = 0.0158 [0.0032-0.0288], p = 0.0277.
Secondary endpoints were as follows:
- Sensitivity:
- Acceptance criterion: ∆sens (aided-unaided) > 0,
- Results: sens aided = 93.75% / sens unaided = 92.50% / ∆sens (aided-unaided) = 1.25 [-1.52-4.02] (p>0.05, non-significant)
- Specificity:
- Acceptance criterion: ∆spec (aided-unaided) > 0,
- Results: spec aided = 53.59% / spec unaided = 49.45% / ∆spec = 4.14 [0.27-8.01] (p<0.05, significant)
The study met the secondary superiority objective of specificity and the secondary non-inferiority objective of sensitivity (numerically superior but not statistically significant for the superiority test), thus confirming that the specificity is significantly improved in the eyonis® LCS arm (clinical benefit) whilst the sensitivity is not different between aided and unaided arms (patient safety preserved).
Further clinical benefits were also explored:
- Increase of inter-reader agreement per patient score: ICC Reader aided = 0.830 [0.800-0.856] / ICC Reader unaided = 0.707 [0.659-0.749] / p<0.0001
- Increase of inter-reader agreement per patient management: Kappa value reader aided = 0.4898 [0.4527-0.5270] / Kappa value reader unaided = 0.3507 [0.3147-0.3867] / p<0.05
- Sub-analysis on US patients: ∆AUC = 0.017 [0.006-0.028], p<0.05

10 Conclusions
The data presented in this 510(k) includes all required information to support the review by FDA. Non-clinical and clinical performance tests demonstrate that eyonis® LCS is safe and effective.
One difference with the predicate device is a difference in the indications for use, because it detects different disease specific findings in different radiological images. The risks associated with the use of the device are comparable because they are both intended to be used in a similar way as aid for the clinician. Median Technologies has applied a risk management process in accordance with FDA recognized standards to identify, evaluate, and mitigate all known hazards related to eyonis® LCS. These hazards may occur when accuracy of diagnosis is potentially affected, causing either false-positives or false-negatives. All identified risks are effectively mitigated and it can be concluded that the residual risk is outweighed by the benefits.
Results of the primary analysis of the clinical test demonstrate that use of eyonis® LCS improves diagnosis of lung cancer in LDCT images.
The special controls for CADe/CADx are satisfied by demonstrating effectiveness of the device in both the standalone testing and the clinical MRMC testing, showing superiority of aided versus unaided reads in clinical testing. The technological differences between eyonis® LCS and the predicate device do not raise concerns of safety and effectiveness.
Considering all data in this submission, the data provided in this 510(k) supports the safe and effective use of eyonis® LCS its indications for use and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
§ 892.2090 Radiological computer-assisted detection and diagnosis software.
(a)
Identification. A radiological computer-assisted detection and diagnostic software is an image processing device intended to aid in the detection, localization, and characterization of fracture, lesions, or other disease-specific findings on acquired medical images (e.g., radiography, magnetic resonance, computed tomography). The device detects, identifies, and characterizes findings based on features or information extracted from images, and provides information about the presence, location, and characteristics of the findings to the user. The analysis is intended to inform the primary diagnostic and patient management decisions that are made by the clinical user. The device is not intended as a replacement for a complete clinician's review or their clinical judgment that takes into account other relevant information from the image or patient history.(b)
