Intended Use

Advantage 4D is a non-invasive software / hardware option that can be used to provide and display CT images of all phases of a breathing cycle for the evaluation of respiration-induced motion. The software will allow the user to retrospectively define the best respiratory phase from an image quality standpoint, and group images by the phase selected. Advantage 4D can also be used for target or treatment volume (DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets) verification

Device Description

Advantage 4D enables a patient to be scanned on a CT with normal breathing. CT data are acquired and images are reconstructed without image artifacts due to organ and tissue motion. CT Images are synchronized with respiratory signal coming from external device and organ/tissue motion within the CT data reflecting both the organ motions and the chest motion. The user can then visually determine the optimum phase to perform volume imaging and post processing [quantification, contouring, segmentation. The respiratory phase identification is also provided. In addition. Advantage 4D has the capability to display DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets and can be used for target or treatment volume verification.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the GE Advantage 4D option, a software/hardware accessory for CT systems. It focuses on the device's technological equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than providing a detailed study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from the provided document.

Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred or explicitly stated:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics for the Advantage 4D option. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation and Advantage Sim 6.0) based on similar technology, intended use, and absence of new safety risks.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Implied)
Similar TechnologyUses similar technology to Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation (K022919) and Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780).
Similar Intended UseProvides and displays CT images of all phases of a breathing cycle for respiration-induced motion evaluation; allows retrospective definition of best respiratory phase; groups images by selected phase; can be used for target/treatment volume verification.
No New Safety Risks"Advantage 4D Option does not result in any new potential safety risks."
Performance as well as market devices"performs as well as devices currently on the market."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

Not specified. The document does not describe a test set or clinical study with patient data. The evaluation is based on technological comparison and risk analysis.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not specified. No ground truth establishment processes involving experts are described for a test set.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not specified. No test set or adjudication method is described.

5. 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

No. An MRMC study is not mentioned as this device is an accessory for displaying CT images synchronized with respiratory signals and does not involve AI assistance for human readers in the diagnostic process beyond presenting organized data.

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

The device is described as a "software / hardware option" that enables users to "visually determine the optimum phase" and "group images by the phase selected." While it processes data automatically to present phases, its primary function involves user interaction and interpretation of the displayed information. A standalone performance evaluation in the absence of human interaction is not described.

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

Not specified. Given the nature of the submission (510(k) for an accessory based on substantial equivalence), detailed clinical ground truth establishment for a diagnostic output is not the focus.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not specified. The document does not describe a training set as it's not a machine learning-based device requiring extensive training data.

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

Not applicable, as no training set is described.

The user can then visually determine the optimum phase to perform volume imaging and post processing [quantification, contouring, segmentation. The respiratory phase identification is also provided.

In addition. Advantage 4D has the capability to display DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets and can be used for target or treatment volume verification. This new capability comes from features derived from Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780).

Indications for Use:

Advantage 4D is a non-invasive software / hardware option that can be used to provide and display CT images of all phases of a breathing cycle for the evaluation of respiration-induced motion. The software will allow the user to retrospectively define the best respiratory phase from an image quality standpoint, and group images by the phase selected. Advantage 4D can also be used for target or treatment volume (DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets) verification

Comparison with Predicate:

This device will use a similar technology to that already used by GE Medical Systems in our cleared devices Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation (K022919) and Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780). Fundamentally, this device will use the same phase selection process that is used in Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation to group images based on respiratory phase. In addition, Advantage 4D will have the ability to display reformat images through a Cine Phase Movie, and to overlay RTSS (Radiotherapy Structure Sets) contours over multiphase CT slices. These additional features are inherited from the viewer of Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780). A more detailed comparison is included in Attachment C of this submission.

Adverse Effects on Health :

The potential hazards are identified in a risk management summary (hazard analysis) and are controlled by:

  • · Software Development, Validation and Verification Process to ensure performance to specifications, Federal Regulations and user requirements.
  • · Adherence to industry and international standards.

Conclusions:

Advantage 4D Option does not result in any new potential safety risks and performs as well as devices currently on the market. GE considers features and technology of the Advantage 4D Option to be equivalent to those of Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation []K022919 and Advantage Sim 6.0 [K021780.
