Intended Use

Orthoview™ is indicated for use when a suitably licensed and qualified healthcare professional requires access to medical images with the intention of using such images, in conjunction with templates for prosthetic devices, for the purposes of choosing the nature and characteristics of the prosthetic device to be used when planning a potential surgical procedure.

Device Description

Orthoview™ is a software device that permits the orthopedic surgeon to pre-plan surgical procedures by permitting image viewing and manipulation and prosthetic template overlay within a PACS workstation or standalone environment.

AI/ML Overview

The Orthoview™ device, a software for pre-operative surgical planning using digital prosthetic template overlay, was evaluated for its performance.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for Orthoview™ were established implicitly through a comparison to traditional hand-scoring templating methods. The device was deemed acceptable if it demonstrated "similar accuracy" to these traditional methods.

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Similar accuracy to traditional templating methods.The comparison concluded that "Orthoview™ provides an accurate alternative to traditional templating methods" and offers "similar accuracy" to these methods for determining prosthetic size.
Provide an alternative to traditional templating.The study confirms that Orthoview™ "provides an accurate alternative to traditional templating methods."

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "a retrospective technique of comparing the performance of 'templating' using a hand-scoring method versus the scoring achieved by Orthoview™," implying a test set of some size was used but the specific number of cases or images is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: Retrospective. The study utilized a "retrospective technique." The country of origin for the data is not specified.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth of Test Set

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but the assessment was "carried out by experienced healthcare professionals."
  • Qualifications of Experts: Described as "experienced healthcare professionals." More specific qualifications (e.g., number of years of experience, specific specialty like orthopedic surgeon) are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not explicitly stated. The document describes a comparison between "hand-scoring method versus the scoring achieved by Orthoview™," implying a direct comparison without detailing a specific adjudication process for discrepancies.

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

  • A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly reported. The document focuses on the performance of the device itself compared to traditional methods, rather than
    human readers using AI vs. without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • A standalone performance study was implicitly done. The study compared the "scoring achieved by Orthoview™" against a hand-scoring method, suggesting an evaluation of the algorithm's output independently, even if human interaction is required for its use. The device is a "software device" that permits "image viewing and manipulation and prosthetic template overlay," implying the algorithm generates the templating suggestion.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth was established by "the actual assessment and determination of prosthetic size using traditional templating methods using X-Ray film and template overlay" (referred to as "hand-scoring"). This can be categorized as expert consensus based on traditional methods.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size: Not applicable/not provided. As a templating and overlay software, and given the release date (2003), it's highly probable that Orthoview™ relied on predefined algorithms and templates rather than a machine learning model requiring a distinct training set. The descriptions focus on its functionality and comparison to traditional methods. If an internal development set was used, it is not mentioned.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • How Ground Truth Was Established: Not applicable/not provided, as no training set is mentioned or implied for an AI/ML model for this device. The software likely implements rules and calculations for scaling and overlay, with templating designs provided by prosthetic manufacturers.

Device Description - Orthoview™ is a software device that permits the orthopedic surgeon to pre-plan surgical procedures by permitting image viewing and manipulation and prosthetic template overlay within a PACS workstation or standalone environment.

Intended Use - The Orthoview™ system is designed with the intention that licensed medical professionals can access digitised medical X-Ray images in DICOM or other formats obtained from a variety of modalities such as PACS systems, X-Ray digitisers etc.

This permits the review of such images and allows the overlay of digitised images of templates for prosthetic devices thereby providing an altemative to traditional means of optically viewing processed X-Ray films overlaid with the acetate templates of such prostheses supplied by the prosthetic manufacturer.

Orthoview™ provides the means of recording, storing and retrieving the templating process steps performed by the licensed medical professional when assessing the optimum prosthetic device for a particular patient.

The Orthoview™ system does not have any function such as image acquisition, image storage etc, this is the responsibility of the systems alongside which Orthoview™ operates. The Orthoview™ system does not specify the requirements for the prosthetic template - this is the responsibility of the prosthetic manufacturer.

Assessment of Non-clinical Performance Data

The comparison of intended performance versus actual performance was carried out by experienced healthcare professionals using a retrospective technique of comparing the performance of 'templating' using a hand-scoring method versus the scoring achieved by Orthoview™

The hand-scoring carried out was the actual assessment and determination of prosthetic size using traditional templating methods using X-Ray film and template overlay versus the template size suggested by Orthoview™. The outcome of the comparison was that Orthoview™ provides an accurate alternative to traditional templating methods.

Conclusions of the non-clinical tests

Using a digital templating system such as Orthoview™™ avoids unnecessary hard copying and also provides other benefits such as the ability to save the templating outcome in the patients electronic record, the templates are never lost or damaged and are readily available anywhere on the PACS network.

Using Orthoview™ provides an alternative to traditional templating methods with similar accuracy and can be used to augment standard PACS functionality to provide the required orthopaedic preoperative planning functionality.
