Device Description

iPlan! is a software tool running on a standard, standalone computer workstation or being accessable via the intranet connection for pre- or intraoperative planning of treatments based on stereotactic systems or image quided surgery systems.
The system provides e.g. tools for the automatic or manual segmentation of anatomical structures which helps the user such as the radiologist or the surgeon to quickly achieve the desired segmentation results through an unlimited number of automatic and/or manual re-segementations. Additionally anatomical and functional structures and segmentations of the human brain as defined and described by Talairach/Tournoux and/or Schaltenbrand/Wahren brain atlases can be correlated with the patient´s brain data.
The created treatment plans of iPlan! can be used on its own or in conjunction with other Brainl.AB medical devices such as VectorVision for performing the planned treatment.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the iPlan! device focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices and detailing the device's intended use and general description. It does not contain specific information about formal acceptance criteria, a dedicated study proving performance against those criteria, or details regarding ground truth establishment and expert adjudication for either test or training sets.

Therefore, much of the requested information cannot be extracted from this document. The sections below will indicate where information is missing.


Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Not explicitly defined in the provided document. The 510(k) summary states, "iPlan has been verified and validated according to BrainLAB's procedures for product design and development. The validation proves the safety and effectiveness of the system." However, it does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy thresholds, precision values) or report specific performance metrics against such criteria in a table format. The primary "performance" mentioned is the device's ability to be "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices.

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not specifiedNot specified

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

As specific acceptance criteria are not detailed, a formal study explicitly demonstrating the device meets those criteria is not described in this document. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not provided. The document does not mention the sample size or provenance of any test set used for validation.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not provided. Details regarding ground truth establishment for a test set, including the number and qualifications of experts, are absent.

3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not provided. The document does not describe any adjudication method.

4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not provided. The document does not mention an MRMC study or any results related to human reader improvement with or without AI assistance. The iPlan! device itself is a planning software, not specifically an AI-driven image interpretation tool in the modern sense. Its function is to prepare and present data, and assist in planning, rather than to make diagnostic interpretations that would be compared with human readers.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not explicitly detailed as a standalone performance study. The device is described as a "software tool" that provides "e.g. tools for the automatic or manual segmentation." While automatic segmentation implies an algorithm's performance, no standalone performance metrics (e.g., accuracy of segmentation without human interaction) are reported. The device is designed to be used by radiologists or surgeons, implying a human-in-the-loop context.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Not provided for any formal validation study. The document mentions the use of "Talairach/Tournoux and/or Schaltenbrand/Wahren based brain atlases" for the BrainMAP module to define anatomical and functional structures. This would serve as a form of anatomical ground truth for positional information within the software, but it's not described as part of a formal validation study with patient-specific ground truth.

7. The sample size for the training set

  • Not provided. The document does not typically discuss training sets for this type of software in this era (2002), as it's not described as a machine learning/AI product in the contemporary sense. It's a planning tool with segmentation and atlas-correlation capabilities.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not provided. As no training set is mentioned in the context of machine learning, ground truth establishment for such a set is not applicable or described. Any embedded anatomical knowledge in the software would likely be derived from established anatomical atlases and medical literature, such as the Talairach/Tournoux and Schaltenbrand/Wahren atlases mentioned.

where the result is used for the creation of treatment plans for

Stereotactic Surgery:

- Surgery Planning

The Surgery Planning is a tool for pre- and intraoperative stereotactic surgery planning based on stereotactic systems. Multiple graphical display functions and 3-dimensional views of anatomical structures offer effective and efficient means of presenting the anatomical data for diagnostic and surgical planning. Computer-graphic simulation in various views of a chosen probe path can help prevent probe intersections with unwanted, critical structures or vessels.

The surgeon can interactively change a probe path simulation through the image slices in the software with on-line calculation of the accompanying arc settings and graphical manipulation to aid in optimizing his approach.

- BrainMAP

The BrainMAP module is a tool, which defines two and three-dimensional information about anatomical structures of the human brain for pre- and intraoperative planning of stereotactic procedures. These contours are defined and described by Talairach/Tournoux and/or Schaltenbrand/Wahren based brain atlases.

The user is provided with information about the position of the various functional and anatomical areas of the brain. These positions of the structures have to be correlated with every patients brain data. The correlation is defined by a procedure defined by Talairach/Tournoux. Using their grid system to divide the brain in particular areas, the program will be able to provide matching data for different patient data. BrainMAP may be used alone or in conjunction with neurosurgery.

- Functional Planning

The Functional Planning is based on Surgery Planning, which gives two- and three dimensional online information of a stereotactical surgical instrument (electrodes) for a neurosurgical functional treatment using a stereotactic arc. The user is provided with information by numerical results and by various displays and reconstruction planes based on patient images (CT, MRI, PET, SPECT) about the position and orientation relative to the patient of his surgical instrument to perform stimulation and treatment on brain structures or to a preplanned trajectory .

The software is capable of displaying the trajectory and functional areas of the brain based on BrainMAP online on the screen and recording the stimulations by storing positions of the electrodes.

{2}------------------------------------------------

The Functional Planning is intended to be used with patients where measurement, stimulation and placement of electrodes in the brain (pallidotomy) are part of the treatment. The stereotactic arc system is useful for placing these electrodes or using the instruments during the treatment and in the planning phases of the functional treatment.
