Intended Use

ClearRead +Confirm is intended to generate an enhanced, secondary digital radiographic image of the chest to facilitate confirmation of line/tubes. The enhanced AP or PA image of the chest provides improved visibility of lines and tubes. The ClearRead +Confirm image provides adjunctive information and is not a substitute for the original PA/AP image. This device is intended to be used by trained professionals, such as physicians, radiologists, and technicians, on patients with lines and tubes and is not intended to be used on pediatric patients.

Device Description

ClearRead +Confirm is a dedicated post-processing application that generates an enhanced, secondary digital radiographic image of the chest to facilitate confirmation of line/tubes.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text, using the specified format:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Primary Endpoints: Reduction in time required by radiologists to localize the tips of tubes, lines, and electrical cardiac wires (TLW) when using ClearRead +Confirm.ClearRead +Confirm was found to significantly decrease read times in analyses both including and excluding outliers.
Secondary Endpoints: Radiologists' accuracy in localizing the TLW when using ClearRead +Confirm.The difference from true locations in ClearRead +Confirm reads and unaided reads were not found to be statistically significant.
Overall Conclusion: Is the device a useful adjunct?The results indicated that ClearRead +Confirm is a useful adjunct for the interpretation of chest radiographs when looking for TLW.

Study Details

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not explicitly stated in the provided text. The text mentions it was a "multi-reader multicase (MRMC) study," implying a collection of cases, but the specific number is not given. However, the study was "clinical validation," implying prospective or retrospective clinical data. No country of origin is specified.

  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not explicitly stated. The study involved "radiologists" as readers, but how many established ground truth, or their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience), is not detailed.

  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not explicitly stated. The text mentions "true locations," implying that a ground truth was established, but the method of adjudication (e.g., consensus, by an expert panel) is not described.

  4. 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:

    • Yes, a multi-reader multicase (MRMC) study was done.
    • Effect Size: The study found a "significant decrease" in read times when using ClearRead +Confirm. The specific quantitative "effect size" (e.g., percentage reduction, time saved in seconds) is not provided, only that it was statistically significant. For accuracy, no statistically significant difference from true locations was found between ClearRead +Confirm reads and unaided reads.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The document does not explicitly state whether a standalone performance study was conducted. The focus is on the human-in-the-loop performance through the MRMC study, where the device provides "adjunctive information."

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): The text refers to "true locations" of tubes, lines, and electrical cardiac wires (TLW). This broadly suggests an expert-determined ground truth, likely based on anatomical knowledge and possibly confirmed by other imaging or clinical data, but the exact method (e.g., expert consensus) is not specified.

  7. The sample size for the training set: Not provided in the document.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not provided in the document.

Indications for Use:ClearRead +Confirm is intended to generate an enhanced,secondary digital radiographic image of the chest to
facilitate confirmation of line/tubes. The enhanced AP orPA image of the chest provides improved visibility of linesand tubes. The ClearRead +Confirm image provides
adjunctive information and is not a substitute for the
original PA/AP image. This device is intended to be usedby trained professionals, such as physicians, radiologists,
and technicians, on patients with lines and tubes and is notintended to be used on pediatric patients.

Comparison to Predicate Devices Technical Characteristics:

ClearRead +Confirm uses the same bone suppression mechanism as the Riverain ClearRead Bone Suppression predicate device, with enhancements to improve the visibility of lines and tubes. ClearRead +Confirm and ClearRead Bone Suppression also share a common user platform for DICOM communication and system configuration.

ClearRead +Confirm and the Carestream DRX-Revolution are similar in that both include software with the ability to enhance lines and tubes on AP/PA chest radiographs.

Differences in the design and performance from the cited predicate devices do not affect either the safety or the effectiveness of ClearRead +Confirm for its intended use.

Functional verification testing and development validation were conducted to verify that the design output met the design input requirements. Documentation outlining the functional verification testing of the ClearRead +Confirm software (E030-D V&V Test Plan and E032-A V&V Test Report) is provided in Appendix B.

Clinical validation was conducted in a multi-reader multicase (MRMC) study to validate that the device conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses. The reader study measured the reduction in time required by the radiologists to localize the tips of tubes, lines, and electrical cardiac wires (TLW) when using ClearRead +Confirm. The study also measured the radiologists' accuracy in localizing the TLW when using ClearRead +Confirm. ClearRead Confirm was found to significantly decrease read times in analyses both including and excluding outliers. The

Testing Summary:

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

difference from true locations in ClearRead Confirm reads and unaided reads were not found to be statistically significant. The results indicated that ClearRead +Confirm is a useful adjunct for the interpretation of chest radiographs when looking for TLW. Documentation of clinical validation testing in the ClearRead +Confirm Reader Study (E045-A Protocol and E046-A Report) is provided in Appendices C and D.

Substantial Equivalence:

The reader study described above used similar methods to the reader study that was reviewed by FDA when clearing the ClearRead Bone Suppression predicate device (K092363). In both cases, an image processing application generates a secondary image for the radiologist to view. Both devices enable reviewing, storing, printing, and distribution of DICOM-compliant images across hospital networks.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
