Cytologist WorkloadA defined CLIA slide equivalent for AI-assisted review.Genius Cervical AI (GCAI) case reviews count as 0.5 CLIA slide equivalent. This allows for a higher volume of cases to be screened per day (200 cases = 100 CLIA slide equivalents).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Clinical Test Set: 1994 slides.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: United States ("A multi-center Genius Cervical AI Algorithm Clinical Study was performed within the United States.").
    • Retrospective/Prospective: The study used "residual material after the clinical sites signed out the case," implying these were historical samples (retrospective) collected from women screened for cervical cancer using the ThinPrep Pap test.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

  • Number of Experts: An adjudication panel composed of 3 adjudication CT/PT teams, each consisting of 1 Cytotechnologist (CT) and 1 Pathologist (PT). So, a minimum of 3 CTs and 3 PTs were involved in establishing the ground truth.
  • Qualifications of Experts: They were "qualified cytologists" and "qualified CTs and PTs" (implied as experts in cervical cytology based on their role in the study and laboratory context). The participating laboratories had "extensive experience in the processing and evaluation of gynecologic ThinPrep Pap test slides" and the experts were "trained in the use of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Method: Consensus-based adjudication followed by multi-headed microscope review for discordant cases.
    1. Each of the three adjudication CT/PT teams independently reviewed the slides.
    2. A consensus result was obtained if there was majority agreement (at least two of the three adjudication CT/PT teams).
    3. If a consensus was not initially obtained, these cases underwent review by the three adjudication PTs simultaneously using a multi-headed microscope (multi-head review).
    4. The final "reference" or "ground truth" diagnosis was based on either the initial consensus or the multi-head review result.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • Was it done? Yes, a multi-center, multi-reader, multi-case study was performed, comparing Genius AI review, Manual review, and TIS review. This is evident from the "Clinical Studies" section, where 4 clinical sites participated, and at each site, 3 independent CT/PT teams reviewed cases.

  • Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement with AI vs. without AI Assistance:
    The study directly compares human performance with AI assistance (Genius AI review) to human performance without AI assistance (Manual review). The improvement is shown in sensitivity at various diagnostic thresholds:

    • LSIL+: Sensitivity increased by 4.4% with Genius AI assistance compared to Manual review (89.1% vs 84.7%). This was statistically significant.
    • ASC-H+: Sensitivity increased by 8.2% with Genius AI assistance compared to Manual review (87.8% vs 79.6%). This was statistically significant.
    • HSIL+: Sensitivity increased by 7.5% with Genius AI assistance compared to Manual review (81.5% vs 74.0%). This was statistically significant.
    • ASCUS+: Sensitivity increased by 1.6% (91.7% vs 90.1%), but this was not statistically significant.
    • UNSAT (for correct identification): Sensitivity increased by 18.6% with Genius AI assistance (80.4% vs 61.8%).

    While specificity generally saw small, statistically significant decreases at some thresholds with AI assistance, the overall benefit-risk assessment concluded that the probable benefits outweigh the risks due to the increased sensitivity, particularly for higher-grade lesions. The document also highlights a reduction in false negative rates (false NILM) with the Genius AI: "The 7.5% increase in HSIL + sensitivity means a decrease in Manual false negative rate of 26% to 18.5% false negative rate by the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm resulted in 28.8% reduction in the number false negative reviews (28.8%=(26%-18.5%) / 26%)."

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

  • Was it done? Not explicitly for diagnostic interpretation. The "Objects of Interest (OOI) Reproducibility" study evaluated the AI algorithm's ability to select OOIs against the adjudicated reference diagnosis, but the primary clinical performance assessment was human-in-the-loop (AI-assisted review). The AI's function is to "selects OOIs to be displayed for review by a CT or PT," not to render a final diagnosis on its own.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: Expert Consensus. The "adjudicated diagnosis" served as the "gold standard" or "reference" (ground truth). This was established by a panel of 3 CT/PT teams reaching consensus, with multi-head microscope review for discordant cases.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document mentions the use of "Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology" for the AI algorithm but does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. It only mentions that the "Genius Cervical AI algorithm v1.0.16.0 will remain locked for use with the authorized device and will not be continually trained and improved with each cohort analyzed in clinical practice, after marketing authorization," implying it was trained on a fixed dataset prior to these performance studies.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • The document does not explicitly describe how the ground truth for the training set was established. It focuses only on the ground truth for the test set used for performance validation.

Genius Cervical AI algorithm

The Genius Cervical AI algorithm is a software algorithm which is pre-loaded on the Genius Digital Imager. The Genius Cervical AI algorithm uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology to analyze ThinPrep® Pap Test whole slide images scanned using the Genius Digital Imager and selects OOIs to be displayed for review by a CT or PT. The Genius Cervical AI algorithm software is separate with its own software subsystem. The user selects the appropriate specimen type [i.e., GYN (Pap test slide)] to be scanned before initiating the scanning process. The analysis of the image is performed automatically by the Genius Cervical AI algorithm after the scanned digital image is generated by the Genius Digital Imager. A typical input image is a high-resolution color scan of a ThinPrep cell spot, containing over 6x10° pixels, from 5,000 to 100,000 cells. The output of the algorithm is a set of OOIs. organized into rows and designed to provide information for the reviewer to determine the diagnostic category for that particular image (case) per The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. There are 5 rows of OOIs and 6 primary OOIs per row. There are an additional 6 secondary OOIs available per row that the user can review, as needed. The OOIs are grouped into rows of particular diagnostic categories. Priority is given to abnormal cells when populating the first four rows, followed by cell types needed for assessing specimen adequacy (Endocervical cells and Squamous Metaplasia). The final row shows infectious organisms when present. The algorithm also provides a total count of squamous cells on the slide. This count may be used by the reviewer in assessing specimen adequacy. The cells and cell clusters presented in a gallery format on the Genius Review

{5}------------------------------------------------

Station, as shown in Figure 2 below, allows the reviewer to view all OOIs presented by the algorithm. The CT or PT can digitally mark OOIs for subsequent review.

On the left side of the screen, there is a grid of small images, likely representing individual cells or regions of interest. The text at the top indicates a patient ID "21062029999", the type of test "Gyn", and the approximate cell count "58700". On the right side, there is a larger image, possibly a full slide view, with a smaller inset image for context or magnification.

B. Principle of Operation

The Genius Digital Diagnostics System is designed for scanning and generating digital images of ThinPrep® Pap test slides. The process is displayed in Figure 3. These digitized images can then be reviewed and interpreted by CTs and PTs for the purposes of reporting Pap test results per The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. Stained ThinPrev® Pap-test slides are loaded into slide carriers, which are placed into the Digital Imager. The operator uses a touch screen on the Digital Imager to interact with the instrument via a graphic, menu-driven interface. The slide ID reader scans the case's accession ID and locates the position of the cell spot. The Digital Imager contains slide handling robotics and digital imaging components to scan the entire ThinPrep cell spot to create an in-focus whole slide image. For ThinPrep® Pap test slides, the Genius Cervical AI algorithm identifies OOIs found on the digital image of the slide. The objects classified as most clinically relevant are presented in a gallery to the CT and PT for review. The slide image data, the slide ID, are transmitted to the Slide is returned to its slide carrier. The IMS functions as the central data manager for the Genius Digital Diagnostics System. As slides are imaged by the Digital Imager and reviewed by the CT or PT at the Review Station, the IMS stores, retrieves, and transmits information based on the case ID. The Review Station is a dedicated computer running the Review Station software application, with a display validated for diagnostic review of OOls and/or whole cell spot images. The Review Station is connected to a keyboard and a mouse. When a valid case accession ID has been identified at the Review Station, the server sends the images for that case ID to the user. The CT or PT is presented with a gallery of images of OOIs for that slide for review. When any image is being reviewed, the CT or PT has the option to digitally mark objects of interest and include the marks in the case review. The reviewer can move and zoom into any area of interest to evaluate details of the cell spot using a mouse or arrow keys for examination. The reviewer is responsible for

{6}------------------------------------------------

ensuring the validity of the interpretation of the digital images created by the Genius Digital Diagnostics System.

Image /page/6/Figure/1 description: This image shows the process of cervical specimen analysis using ThinPrep technology. The process starts with a request form and a ThinPrep vial containing the cervical specimen collected from the patient. The sample is then processed on a ThinPrep 5000 processor, a ThinPrep Genesis processor, or the ThinPrep 2000 system using ThinPrep Imaging System slides. The digital imager scans the cell spot and sends the images to the digital imager computer, which is connected to the Image Management Server, and abnormal cases are reviewed by a pathologist.

C. Interpretation of Results

The Genius Cervical AI algorithm presents a gallery of clinically relevant objects. After reviewing the entire gallery and the digital images, the CT and/or PT provide an interpretation and diagnosis of the image per The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. It is the responsibility of qualified CTs and PTs to employ appropriate procedures and safeguards to assure the validity of the interpretation of images obtained using this system. The Genius Digital Diagnostics System should be used in conjunction with the standard of care

{7}------------------------------------------------

evaluation of the slide image, including professional screening and management guidelines to guide patient care. Users must always review the entire gallery prior to rendering an interpretation to minimize interpretive errors. After review of the digital images with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm, if there is uncertainty in the diagnosis, then direct examination of the glass slide by light microscopy is performed.

B. Analytical Performance:

1. Objects of Interest (OOI) Reproducibility

A single site study was conducted to demonstrate that the Genius Cervical AI algorithm accurately and reproducibly selects OOIs. An OOI is a cell or cluster of cells on a glass slide scanned by the Genius Diagnostics System that most likely contains clinically relevant information for diagnostic purposes. In the study, thirty-seven ThinPrep Pap test slides were enrolled which were selected from slides used in the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm clinical study. The selected slides covered the full range of abnormal diagnostic categories as defined in The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. These slides were prepared on the ThinPrep 2000 system, ThinPrep 5000 processor, and ThinPrep Genesis processor.

The slides were imaged three times on three different Genius Digital Imagers. Three CTs independently reviewed the nine runs of each case on the Genius Digital Diagnostics System, blinded to the reference diagnosis for the case. A minimum of a

{14}------------------------------------------------

two-week washout period was used between the review of the images from each run. During each review on the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm, the CT recorded the observation in every tile in the gallery for the case on the Genius Review Station. The study compared OOIs selected by the Genius Cervical AI algorithm to the reference diagnosis which was the adjudicated diagnosis for the slide that was determined during the clinical study (See clinical study section below for details of the method used to determine the reference diagnosis for each slide). The accuracy and reproducibility of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm was measured by comparison to the adjudicated reference diagnoses. The study evaluated the performance of the Genius Cervical AI algorithm in presenting images suitable for diagnosing Pap test cases. The study also measured reproducibility of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System, as a whole. A summary of the performance data is shown in Table 5 below.

2. Cell Count Study:

A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the cell count metric produced by the Genius Cervical AI algorithm compared to a manual cell count. A total of 50 ThinPrep Pap test slides including at least 8 slides with counts near the clinically important threshold of 5000 cells, were enrolled in the study (described in Table 8 below). These slides were prepared on a ThinPrep 5000 processor, stained and cover slipped. The same slides were imaged on three Genius Digital Imagers three separate times. To obtain the manual cell count for the slides in the study, a CT viewed the whole slide image presented on the Genius Review Station, counted the cells presented in a portion of the cell spot image, and estimated the total number of cells based on the portion, similar to the normal process for counting cells on slides viewed on a microscope. The cell counts derived on each Digital Imager by the algorithm in the Genius Digital Diagnostics System were compared to the manual cell count estimate.

Within-imager reproducibility was evaluated by imaging the slides 3 times on a single Genius Digital Imager and comparing cell count results. Between-imager reproducibility was evaluated by imaging slides once on 3 separate Genius Digital Imagers and comparing cell count results. Cell count accuracy was evaluated by comparing the Genius Cervical A1 derived cell counts to the cytologist manual count estimate for each slide. The reproducibility was compared across three runs on one instrument (between-instrument) and across one run on three instruments (within-instrument) and the mean cell count and %CV were calculated. Data showed that the within-imager precision %CV was 0.6% and between-imager %CV was 2.7%. Figure 4 compares the cell counts between the Genius Cervical AI algorithm and a manual cell count method for each specimen.

The appropriate linear regression analysis was performed, and slope was 1.06 with 95% CI: (1.01; 1.11) and the intercept of 213 with 95% CI: (28: 398). The relative systematic difference between the cell count determined by the CT during the review of glass slides to the Genius Cervical AI algorithm derived cell counts at 5,000 cells was 10% with 95% CI: (4%; 17%).

The results of the cell count study were acceptable. Scatter plot of agreement is shown in Figure 4.

Image /page/16/Figure/4 description: The image is a scatter plot titled "Cell Counts". The x-axis is labeled "Manual" and ranges from 0 to 8x10^4. The y-axis is labeled "DC individual runs" and ranges from 0 to 10x10^4. The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between the manual cell counts and the DC individual runs.

C. Clinical Studies:

Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm Review (Genius Cervical AI Clinical Study) Compared to Manual Microscope Review of Glass Slides

A multi-center Genius Cervical AI Algorithm Clinical Study was performed within the United States. The objective of the study was to show that routine screening of ThinPrep Pap test slide images using the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm was comparable to the approved method of screening using glass slides with a light microscope, which is the current standard of care.

The study included 1994 slides and 4 clinical sites (laboratories). Slides were prepared from residual material after the clinical sites signed out the case, from women who were screened for cervical cancer using the ThinPrep Pap test. Samples that were enrolled were processed on the ThinPrep® 2000 system, the ThinPrep® 5000 processor or the ThinPrep® Genesis™ processor. At each of 4 clinical sites, 3 independent teams consisting of 1 CT and 1 PT at each (site CT/PT teams) reviewed all cases at their site. All cases at the corresponding site were reviewed independently by the three teams at that particular site and, therefore, the number of reviews at the site were 3 times the number of slides at the site. Site CT/PT teams screened cases in 3 review phases as follows: manual review of glass slides with a light microscope without the assistance of the ThinPrep Imaging System (TIS) (Manual review), review of glass slides with the ThinPrep Imaging System (TIS review) and review of digital images with the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm (Genius Cervical AI review/Digital Review), in that order. Cases with an ASCUS, AGC, LSIL, ASC-H, HSIL, Cancer or unsatisfactory for evaluation (UNSAT) result by the CT were also reviewed by the PT. A minimum 14-dav washout period occurred between each review phase. The cases were randomized prior to each review phase. Cytological diagnoses and specimen adequacy were determined in accordance with the Bethesda System criteria.

An adjudicated diagnosis was used as a "gold standard" ("reference" or "ground truth"). Cases were screened by an adjudication panel, composed of 3 adjudication CT/PT teams, consisting of 1 CT and 1 PT each (adjudication CT/PT team). Slides were reviewed independently by the three teams. All cases, regardless of result. were reviewed by CTs and PTs. For each case, results from each adjudication CT/PT team were used to obtain a consensus result, defined as the result for which there was majority agreement (by at least two of the three adjudication CT/PT teams). If a consensus result was not obtained initially, these cases underwent review by the three adjudication PTs simultaneously using a multi-headed microscope (multi-head review). The reference result was based on either the consensus result (if met initially) or the multi-head review result (if consensus was not obtained initially). Cytological diagnoses and specimen adequacy were determined in accordance with the Bethesda System criteria: NILM, ASCUS, AGC, LSIL, ASC-H, HSIL, Cancer and UNSAT.

{18}------------------------------------------------

Laboratory and Patient Characteristics

The cytology laboratories participating in the study were comprised of four (4) sites. All sites selected had extensive experience in the processing and evaluation of gynecologic ThinPrep Pap test slides and were trained in the use of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm.

There were 1995 slides that were eligible for the study. Of these, 1994 slides were included in the study and one (1) was excluded from the study because the slide failed the quality audit due to a scratched coverslip, an exclusion criterion. The total number of reviews was 5,982 (3 x 1994 slides). Thirty-four (34) cases (102 reviews) had adjudication results of UNSAT and the remaining 1960 cases (5,880 reviews) were Satisfactory (SAT) for evaluation and had reference adjudication diagnoses. Table 9 provides characteristics of the participating clinical sites. Table 10 describes the patient populations with SAT slides, at each of the study sites.

{19}------------------------------------------------

Cases were excluded from the study if any slide was deemed not adequate due to broken slide, dilute specimen or slide is otherwise unreadable).

Objective of the Clinical Study

The primary objectives of this study included comparing the sensitivity and specificity when diagnosing cases imaged and reviewed on the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm with the sensitivity and specificity of Manual review and also with TIS review. An adjudicated diagnosis was used as a gold standard ("reference" or "ground truth"). The comparison of sensitivities and specificities was performed at the following thresholds (described in Table 11 below): ASCUS+, LSIL+, ASC-H+. HSIL+, Cancer.

Table 11. Bethesda System Diagnostic Category Partitions

Sensitivity and specificity of each review type (Genius Cervical AI algorithm review, Manual review, and TIS review) were calculated on all cases with a satisfactory reference result at the ASCUS+, LSIL+, ASC-H+, HSIL+ and Cancer diagnostic thresholds. Of these cases, UNSAT Genius Cervical AI, Manual, or TIS review results were considered positive at each diagnostic threshold.

Sensitivity was calculated separately on all cases with an UNSAT reference result, where sensitivity was defined as the proportion of Genius Cervical AI. Manual, or TIS review results of UNSAT or ASCUS+. Specificity was also calculated, where specificity was defined as the proportion of satisfactory Genius Cervical AI, Manual, or TIS review results on all cases with a satisfactory reference result. Differences in sensitivities and differences in specificities were calculated along with two-sided 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

VII Cytologist Screening Time Study

As part of the Genius Cervical AI Clinical Study, Hologic also collected cytologist screening time data. The study data includes the case review times for a total of 12 cytologists, screening a total of 1994 digital cytology cases in a clinical setting. The review periods varied as cytologists were not fully dedicated to the clinical study. The study measured the diagnostic performance results of each CT compared to adjudicated (ADJ) diagnoses.

The results are summarized below in Table 31 which shows the median case review time for the 12 CTs compared to the sensitivity and specificity results at the ASCUS + threshold, as compared to adjudicated results.

Figure 6. Specificity vs. Median Review Time

{32}------------------------------------------------

Regression analysis based on performance of 12 CTs showed that correlation coefficients for both the sensitivity and specificity analyses are low (0.003 and 0.180, respectively), indicating minimal dependence between performance and review time.

The data based on performance of 12 CTs in this study, did not indicate that the CT case review time impacted the diagnostic performance at the ASCUS+ threshold.

Cytologist Workload Determination

Workload is defined by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as a maximum limit of 100 slides in no less than an 8-hour workday (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988; Final Rule. Federal Register. Feb. 28 1992; 57: 493.1483.). This refers to a full manual review of 100 slides. Based on the clinical study, the cytologist workload limit for the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm is as follows:

All cases diagnosed from the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm count as 0.5 or 1/2 CLIA slide equivalent. In the Genius Cervical AI clinical study, CTs accurately diagnosed cases using digital images presented by the system more efficiently than with a full manual review of a case.

Use this guidance to calculate workload, which cannot exceed the CLIA maximum limit of 100 slides (or 100 CLIA slide equivalents) in no less than an 8-hour workday:

All Genius Cervical AI (GCAI) case reviews count as 0.5 slide (½ CLIA slide equivalent) All full manual reviews of the glass slide count as 1 slide (1 CLIA slide equivalent) A full manual review of the glass slide in addition to a Genius Cervical AI review counts as 1.5 slides (1.5 CLIA slide equivalents)

0.5GCAI+1.5(GCAI+FMR) + 1*FMR ≤ 100 CLIA slide equivalents

Example 1 - workload for reviewing ThinPrep Pap tests with the Genius Digital Diagnostic System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm device:

200 Genius Cervical AI Case Reviews = 100 CLIA slide equivalents (200 x 0.5 = 100) Total number of CLIA slide equivalents screened: 100

Example 2 - workload for reviewing ThinPrep Pap tests with the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm device when some cases were reviewed both digitally and on glass:

180 Genius Cervical AI Case Reviews = 90 CLIA slide equivalents [180 x 0.5 = 90] 6 Genius Cervical AI Case Reviews + FMR = 9 CLIA slide equivalents [(6 x 0.5) + (6 x 1) = 9] Total number of CLIA slide equivalents screened: 99 (90 + 9)

{33}------------------------------------------------

Notes:

  • . ALL laboratories should have a clear standard operating procedure for documentation of workload counting and for establishing workload limits.
  • . It is the responsibility of the Technical Supervisor to evaluate and set workload limits for individual cytologists based on laboratory clinical performance.
  • According to CLIA '88, these workload limits should be reassessed every six months. .

VIII Human Factors Studies

Formative and Summative Studies were performed for the Genius Digital Diagnostic System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm. A study was conducted to evaluate the usability and user experience of the Genius Review Station with 15 representative users. Study methodology is based on the HFE process, usability testing, and risk management guidance provided in the FDA 2016 human factors guidance documents and additional technical reports and standards identified in the table in section J above.

Study personnel conducted the testing under simulated-use conditions. Participants went through task scenarios that involved interaction with the Genius Review Station and the review of imaged slides that were selected prior to the session. The simulated use conditions were sufficient to confirm that intended users could use the Genius Review Station safely and to test the effectiveness of risk mitigations associated with highly rated risks. All critical tasks were assessed under the simulated-use conditions and post-test interviews were conducted to determine the root cause of any observed or unobserved use error or problem.

X Identified Risks and Mitigations:

XI Benefit/Risk Assessment:

A Summary of the Assessment of Benefit:

{34}------------------------------------------------

The Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical AI algorithm has probable benefits of aiding in cervical cancer screening for the presence of atypical cells, cervical neoplasia, including its precursor lesions (Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions, High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions) and carcinoma, as well as all other cytological categories as defined by The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology.

In the Genius Cervical AI Algorithm Clinical Study, for all sites combined for ASCUS+, there was an observed improvement in sensitivity of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with Genius Cervical Al Algorithm review method over the Manual Review method. This increase of 1.6% was not statistically significant, with a 95% confidence interval of -0.1% to 3.2%.

  • For LSIL+, ASC-H+ and HSIL+, the improvement in sensitivity of the Genius Digital . Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm method over the Manual Review method was statistically significant and was as follows:
    • · For LSIL+: 4.4% with a confidence interval of 2.1% to 6.7%
    • o For ASC-H+: 8.2% with a confidence interval of 4.8% to 11.6%
    • For HSIL+: 7.5% with a confidence interval of 4.0% to 11.4%. With regard to false negative (less than HSIL) rate for HSIL+, the 7.5% increase in HSIL + sensitivity means a decrease in Manual false negative rate of 26% to 18.5% false negative rate by the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm resulted in 28.8% reduction in the number false negative reviews (28.8%=(26%-18.5%) / 26%).
  • . For Cancer, the observed sensitivities of the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm method and Manual Review method were the same, with a confidence interval of -9.8% to 11.1%.

B Summary of the Assessment of Risk:

False positive and false negative results from the use of this device can have a range of consequences ranging from minimal effect to serious consequences such as delay in cancer diagnosis and treatment. False-positive test results may lead to unnecessary follow-up procedures. The workup for an abnormal Pap test typically includes invasive follow-up procedures such as colposcopy and biopsy that can cause discomfort. False negative results may occur due to misclassification of an abnormal slide as normal resulting in no further diagnostic workup for the patient, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Detailed descriptions of the intended user(s) and recommended training for safe use of the device as indicated in the special control and labeling mitigate the risk associated with the use of the device.

C Patient Perspectives:

This submission did not include specific information on patient perspectives for this device.

D Summary of the Assessment of Benefit-Risk:

{35}------------------------------------------------

Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm device provides a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for diagnostic use by its intended users after taking into consideration the special controls. The clinical and analytical studies have shown that the risk of accuracy loss resulting in a false positive or false negative diagnosis, is outweighed by the probable benefits, including new findings that would contribute to the correct diagnosis. This is contingent on the device being used according to the approved labeling, particularly that the end user must be fully aware of how to interpret and apply the device output.

The risks of false positive or negative results due to device or user error are mitigated by required design verification and validation, including certain studies and risk analysis to help ensure device performance and proper use. The risks are further mitigated by certain safety measures, such as user training (digital images from the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius™ Cervical AI algorithm should be interpreted by qualified cvtologists and pathologists who have undergone further training specifically in the use of the device) and certain labeling information, such as limiting statements, performance information, and detailed descriptions of methodology and protocols.

The probable clinical benefits outweigh the risks for the Genius Digital Diagnostics System with the Genius Cervical AI algorithm device. The device provides benefits, and the risks can be mitigated by the use of general controls and the identified special controls.
