AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Submission for the SOHARD RADIN 3.0 device, which is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). The submission focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device and ensuring compliance with quality system regulations. It does not describe an AI/algorithm-driven diagnostic device, and therefore, many of the requested elements for acceptance criteria and study design (like ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone performance) are not applicable.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or performance metrics for the RADIN device in terms of diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Thinking Systems ThinkingNet (K010271)) and compliance with various regulatory standards and quality systems.

The reported "performance" focuses on its functionality and technical characteristics, demonstrating its ability to distribute, store, and display medical images and reports, mirroring the predicate device.

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

The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an algorithm's performance evaluation against ground truth. The validation and verification mention "evaluations by hospitals" and "integration and system testing including full testing of hazard mitigation," but no specific sample size of medical cases or data provenance is provided for such evaluations within this submission.

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

Not applicable. As this is not an AI/algorithm-driven device requiring diagnostic performance evaluation, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No test set requiring expert adjudication is described.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance

Not applicable. The RADIN device is a PACS system for image distribution and viewing, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. The RADIN device is a standalone software package, but its "standalone performance" refers to its functionality as a PACS, not its performance as a diagnostic algorithm independently of human review. The document explicitly states: "A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information delivered by RADIN." And for primary image interpretation, it emphasizes that "The final decision regarding diagnoses, however, lies with the doctors and/or their medical staff in their very own responsibility."

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Not applicable in the context of diagnostic accuracy. The "ground truth" for this device would be its adherence to DICOM standards, successful image transfer, display, storage, and retrieval, and compliance with general software quality and safety regulations, which are implicitly verified through testing and validation activities mentioned (e.g., integration test plan, hazard analysis).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.


Summary:

The SOHARD RADIN 3.0 submission details a PACS system. Its acceptance criteria are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Thinking Systems ThinkingNet, K010271) and adherence to established quality system regulations (e.g., 21 CFR 820, ISO standards). The "study" proving it meets these criteria consists of software development processes including verification and validation tests, risk analysis, and compliance with relevant standards. The document does not describe an AI/algorithm-driven diagnostic device and thus lacks information related to specific clinical performance metrics, ground truth establishment, expert review, or machine learning-related study designs.

E.1.6 Device Description

RADIN 3.0 is a system to distribute medical images and reports within and outside of health care environments. It is available as a stand-alone software package.

{1}------------------------------------------------

RADIN consists of the following set of software modules:

  • t RADIN.online is the main component, its scalable server architecture provides high availability of medical images
  • . RADIN.web provides standardized internet technology for web-based image communication
  • RADIN.archive enhances RADIN.online with long term archiving on media (e.g. harddisk, jukebox)

RADIN offers three types of clients:

  • RADIN.Classic Client provides the basic viewing and workflow features, e.g. . support of CR, CT, MR and NM modalities, support of greyscale, color and multiframe images.
  • . RADIN.Expert Client additionally offers gamma adjustment, display of scoutlines and image export.
  • . RADIN.Expert dual monitor Client supports dual monitor operation

RADIN requires standard PC-Hardware, recommendations are made within the labeling.

E.1.7 Intended Use

RADIN 3.0 is a system to distribute medical images and reports within and outside of health care environments.

The RADIN Server receives image data in DICOM format via the hospital network. This provides universal connections to archives, modalities and workstations. The modalities that are supported by RADIN are listed in the DICOM Conformance Statement [1].

For data transfer to clients you have to activate strong SSL data encryption to make the transfer secure.

Data that are stored on the RADIN server can be accessed simultaneously by many viewing stations within a healthcare enterprise or from elsewhere outside. The image data transfer is done in DICOM format via the Intranet or the Internet, for example to stations located in a doctor's office, throughout hospitals or a physician's home.

Integration with other hospital information systems (HIS, RIS, CIS) is possible via a special OEM interface.

Images can be viewed directly within a web browser (Internet Explorer). The system offers simple functions for image manipulation and measurements. Reports can be viewed together with the images on one page.

RADIN can support physicians and/or their medical staff with the diagnosis. In that case the user is responsible for all suitable hardware being used in proper working conditions. The final decision regarding diagnoses, however, lies with the doctors and/or their medical staff in their very own responsibility.

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

Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 Mpixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA (concerning only the USA).

RADIN offers an archiving option for long-term storage of image data. Only the data consistency on archive media is guaranteed, the system provider has to take own appropriate means (e.g. redundancy) for safety against data loss caused by media destruction. Without the archiving option, the RADIN System features no components for long-term data archiving. Additional archiving on film or in digital form is therefore necessary.

RADIN provides three types of clients:

RADIN.Classic for basic functionality RADIN.Expert for full functionality RADIN.Expert Dual Monitor with RADIN.Expert functionality and support of two monitors

All text and messages displayed in the image viewer can be viewed in either: German English French Spanish Italian Portuguese

The Online Help for the image viewer is available in German and English. The text of the administration pages and the Online Help of the administration pages are available in English only.

To guarantee flawless operation of the RADIN system, no additional 30 party software may be installed on RADIN server. Furthermore, no part of the RADIN product may be manipulated in any way.

If the system is configured to use only patient ID for matching of patient data, the system provider has to make sure that each patient ID is unique for the whole system. Therefore, all interfaces that can deliver images into the system have to be considered especially interfaces to external institutions.

E.1.8 Software Development

SOHARD AG certifies, that the RADIN software is designed, developed, tested and validated according to written procedures identify individuals within the organization responsible for developing and approving product specifications, coding and testing, validation testing and field maintenance.

All employees receive the appropriate quality system training.

E.1.10Safety and Effectiveness

E.1.10.1 General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

RADIN is a medical device that is to be used by trained health care professionals who are responsible for the correct and accurate use of medical images e.g. as a means for providing diagnosis.

The device labeling contains instructions for use and the intended use/indications for use. Warnings, faults etc are explained in the users manual.

lmages that are compressed are properly identified in the image information as being compressed as specified by the DICOM standard. This compression identification remains with the image for the entire life of the image.

E.1.10.2 Validation and Effectiveness

The RADIN risk analysis has been performed to identify all potential safety or health hazards during system operation. The hazards are controlled by a risk management plan, including hazard analysis, verification and validation tests (according to our software development process) and evaluations by hospitals.

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

According to our risk analysis and risk management there are no software components within the RADIN Software, whose failure or latent design flaw would be expected to result in death or injury to a patient.

Requirement tracing covering specification, design, implementation and verification/validation ensures the fulfillment of all phase requirements, EHR and DMR ensures direct access to all documents.

Integration test plan defines full testing at integration and system testing level. According to this test plan integration and system testing including full testing of hazard mitigation has been performed.

Decision Reviews at the conclusion of each software development phase ensure the fulfillment of the phase results and the validity of the Intended Use and the risk analysis.

Testing is an integral part of our Software Design Process.

Substantial Equivalence E.1.10.3

Any differences between the RADIN Software and the substantially equivalent device have no significant influence on safety and effectiveness.
