AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the ResolutionMD™ 2.1, a software-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for displaying and visualizing medical image data. However, it does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, or quantitative performance metrics.

The document is a 510(k) summary submitted to the FDA, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is explicitly missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Not available. The document does not specify any quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance (e.g., accuracy, precision, processing speed) or a study reporting such performance against those criteria. It focuses on functional equivalence to predicate devices.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Not available. The document does not describe a test set, its sample size, or its data provenance. It mentions "extensive testing on supported platforms by members of the development and quality control team" and "Beta testing by trained cardiology professionals and potential customers" but provides no details on these tests.

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

Not available. Since no specific test set or performance evaluation study is described, there is no information on ground truth establishment or expert involvement for such a study. The document mentions "trained professionals such as physicians, technologists, and nurses" as intended users, and "trained cardiology professionals" for beta testing, but not for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not available. No test set or corresponding adjudication method is described.

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

Not available. The document does not mention an MRMC study or any assessment of human reader improvement with or without AI assistance. The device is a PACS system with visualization and analysis tools, not an "AI" in the sense of an automated diagnostic algorithm that would typically be evaluated in an MRMC study for improved reader performance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

Not available. The document describes a PACS system with various imaging and analysis functionalities (2D/3D imaging, measurements, calcium scoring, artery analysis). It doesn't detail a standalone performance study of any specific algorithm within the system. The focus is on the integrated system's functionality being substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Not available. No specific performance study is detailed, therefore no ground truth type (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcome data) is specified.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not available. The document does not mention any "training set" as it describes a software product, not a machine learning model that would typically require a training set.

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

Not available. As there is no mention of a training set, there is no information on how its ground truth might have been established.


Summary of what is present:

The document primarily serves as a 510(k) application, focusing on:

  • Device Description: ResolutionMD™ 2.1 is a software-based PACS for display and 3D visualization of medical image data (CT, MRI), with features like 2D/3D imaging, measurements, MIP/MPR, segmentation, calcium scoring, and coronary artery analysis.
  • Intended Use: Diagnostic, review, and analysis tool for trained professionals. Images reviewed by a trained physician may be used as an element for diagnosis.
  • Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrated against Vital Vitrea2™ and Vital Connect 4.1 in terms of platform, DICOM compliance, access, imaging features, measurement tools, and intended users.
  • Hazard Analysis: Conducted and classified as minor.
  • Testing: "Extensively tested on supported platforms" by development and QC teams, followed by "Beta testing by trained cardiology professionals and potential customers." However, no details on the scope, methodology, or results of this testing are provided beyond general statements about passing critical safety tests and demonstrating acceptable performance.

In conclusion, this document explicitly states that "The release version of the software will be required to pass all tests considered critical in terms of patient safety and demonstrate an overall acceptable performance for release as determined by the predefined release criteria." However, it does not provide the specific "predefined release criteria" or the results of the study that proves the device meets them.
