Intended Use

The indications for use of the VIEWSEND Medical System, as described in its labeling, are the same as the previously cleared devices marketed and distributed by KLT telecom, Inc. (K-962225). The VIEWSEND Medical System has the same intended use as the originally cleared device.

When installed on an appropriate PC-based platform, the VIEWSEND Medical System is intended to provide the medical professional with the capability to comnare, manipulate, annotate, collaborate, and/or transmit medical images in order to render a diagnosis. Digital image storage in system RAM and hard drive standard is with lossless compression or without data compression. Options include teleradiology, telemedicine, videoconferencing, communications, viewer, customizable database, DICOM 3.0, stand-alone or client/server or web-based, compression, and/or security.

Communications between systems can be performed over wireless/wired LAN, ISDN, T1, ATM, satellite, and/or plain old telephone system (POTS). The DICOM 3.0 option allows for query, retrieve, send, receive, print, or DICOM Dir actions with DICOM 3.0 compliant modalities or servers.

AI/ML Overview

This document appears to be a 510(k) premarket notification for the VIEWSEND Medical System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and discussing software development and safety, rather than presenting a study specifically designed to establish acceptance criteria for device performance. As such, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study methodologies, and performance metrics is not directly available in this text.

However, I can extract information related to the device's technical specifications and safety evaluation.

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

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not provide a formal table of "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the typical sense of a clinical or performance study. Instead, it describes compliance with industry standards and internal software development policies, as well as the technical specifications of the integrated components.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied / Stated Compliance)Reported Device Performance (as described)
DICOM ComplianceImage file format complies with industry standard DICOM 3.0 protocols. Query, retrieve, send, receive, DICOM Direct, and DICOM print all conform with DICOM 3.0 protocols.
Compression StandardComplies with ACR Standard for Digital Image Data Management, 1998 Res.15: "Data compression...may be used under the direction of a qualified physician, with no reduction in clinical diagnostic image quality." Lossy compression will be apparent to the reader, showing compression mechanism and ratio (e.g., DICOM JPEG LOSSY 12-bits, 14.8:1).
Monitor Resolution for Diagnostic PurposesConforms to "current industry standard recommendations for clinical and diagnostic display - currently minimum 1.5K x 2.0K resolution for diagnostic purposes." Specifically, Diagnostic Display requires "Medical Grayscale monitor(s) at 1.5 x 2.0k resolution with medical grade graphics board".
Software Functional Requirements"Testing results demonstrated that the software functional requirements were met, and that the software specifications were fulfilled." (No specific metrics provided).
Safety (for incremental software revisions)Each incremental revision was evaluated for potential hazards (e.g., threat to patient's life, irreversible illness, obscuring information, inaccurate diagnostic information). All listed revisions were assigned a "Minor" hazard level, except for JPEG2000 compression which was "Moderate" and 128-bit encryption which was "Minor".
Verification and Validation (for incremental software revisions)For all listed incremental software revisions: "Were software specifications, requirements, and design set forth for this revision?" - Yes. "Was this revision verified and validated through KLT testing criteria?" - Yes.

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

The document does not detail a specific "test set" in the context of a performance study with a defined sample size (e.g., number of images, patients). The testing mentioned is for software verification and validation of incremental revisions, not for image analysis performance. There is no information regarding data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

3. 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)

This information is not provided in the document. The document primarily discusses the technical capabilities and software development process of the system. While it mentions that "healthcare professionals shall exercise their own judgment when using the displayed information for diagnosis" and radiologists require specific monitors, it doesn't describe a process of establishing ground truth by medical experts for a test set to evaluate the device's diagnostic performance.

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

This information is not provided in the document, as there is no described test set or study involving expert adjudication.

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

A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done and is not mentioned. The VIEWSEND Medical System is described as a modular software for telemedicine, teleradiology, and videoconferencing, focusing on image transmission, storage, and viewing capabilities. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device designed to improve human reader performance.

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

A standalone performance study for an algorithm without human-in-the-loop was not performed. The device is a system for medical professionals to use for "compare, manipulate, annotate, collaborate, and/or transmit medical images in order to render a diagnosis." It explicitly states that it "does NOT...Provide a diagnosis recommendation or statement (such as an expert system)".

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

The document does not specify a type of ground truth used, as it doesn't describe a study to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. The safety evaluation matrix uses criteria like "Could software errors in this revision potentially lead to diagnostic or monitoring information to be missed or inaccurate?", but the "Hazard Level of Concern" for these is determined based on software analysis, not a comparison to a clinical ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable/not provided. The VIEWSEND Medical System is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. It's a software system built upon existing medical software (Osiris 2.5) and integrated components (DICOM routines from Merge Technologies, JPEG 2000 routines from Pegasus).

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

This information is not applicable/not provided for the same reasons as point 8.

The VIEWSEND Medical System complies with the following standard adopted by the American College of Radiology (ACR Standard for Digital Image Data Management, 1998 Res.15):

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

"Data compression may be performed to facilitate transmission and storage. Several methods, including both reversible and irreversible techniques, may be used under the direction of a qualified physician, with no reduction in clinical diagnostic image quality. The types and ratios of compression used for different imaging studies transmitted and stored by the system should be selected and periodically reviewed by the responsible physician to ensure appropriate clinical image quality."

Diagnostic wet reads can be made according to radiologist industry standard recommendations. Currently radiologists require medical grade grayscale monitors and uncompressed iccommendations: "Currenty factoregion required and used according to ACR's guidelines mage tornator's discretion. VIEWSEND Medical is compliant with these requirements.

Lossy compression will be apparent to the reader when using the VIEWSEND Medical System. As shown in Figure 3-1 below, the compression applied to an image can be displayed. In this way, both the compression mechanism and the ratio can be seen.

Incremental Technological Improvements to Predicate Device 807.92 (a)(6)

The VIEWSEND Medical System includes incremental technological features which have been added to the predicate device as indicated in Section 1, 807.87(g) and Chart 1-1 above

Other Information - Safety and Effectiveness. 807.92 (d)

The following information will provide certification as to the subject of safety and effectiveness analysis.

The VIEWSEND Medical System is comprised of modular software that provides telemedicine, teleradiology and videoconferencing capabilities. This system is desail in Section 1 above. Further, the software has been evaluated in accordance with CDRH's "Reviewers Guidance for Computer Controlled Medical Devices Undergoing 510(k) Review". Based on this review, a Our level of concern was assigned to the software. Provided below is a discussion of the software's development process.

VIEWSEND Medical was developed based on an off-the-shelf medical software product known as Osiris 2.5. The Osiris 2.5, a Windows-based radiology package, was developed by University of Geneva Medical Center as part of its PACS system. The Osiris software is built upon C++ object oriented methodology with well-defined interface for each software module. C++ exception handling is built in to minimize system malfunction and to provide a graceful system exit without data loss. All DICOM routines are from Merge Technologies. JPEG 2000 routines are from Pegasus.

{8}------------------------------------------------

VIEWSEND Medical provides image transmission and storage. TCP/IP protocol is used to guarantee reliable image transmissions among VIEWSEND Medical workstations in local and wide arca networks. Zmodem and FTP protocols are used as well for direct modem-to-modem connections.

As established with the unmodified device, and as stated as the intended use of both the unmodified and the modified device, VIEWSEND Medical System software does NOT:

  • Threaten the patient's life �
  • Cause irreversible illness or injury �
  • Directly control delivery of energy �
  • Administration of parental drugs �
  • Perform life-sustaining functions �
  • Provide alarms for life threatening conditions �
  • Provide a diagnosis recommendation or statement (such as an expert system) �

In addition, it has always been maintained, and supported by ACR, that healthcare professionals shall exercise their own judgment when using the displayed information for diagnosis.

Standard software development policy/procedures were followed by Kenei's predecessor in order to provide quality assurance. Test plans were developed in the process and used for testing, vertication and validation tasks. Testing results demonstrated that the software functional requirements were met, and that the software specifications were fulfilled.

The following matrix is provided as a summary to demonstrate that Kenei's predecessor has sufficiently analyzed the safety of each incremental software revision, established the basis for appropriate development, and implemented safety/performance requirements.
