| Discussion of Intended Use Differences:Although the intended use of WoundVision Scout differs from that of the predicate, none of the differences are critical to the use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. The Scout is able to use a visual image to obtain standard wound measurements similar to the predicate. | |||
| By using a technology that combines a substantially equivalent method for measuring visual images with a method for measuring thermal images, the Scout also allows for a physiological measurement of thermal intensity data of a part of the body or two body surfaces adjunctive to the visual camera. The Scout's long-wave infrared camera and features serve as an auxiliary component and secondary measure (adjunct) to the Scout's substantially equivalent visual camera. Bench testing and clinical usability testing indicates that the method for obtaining relative thermal intensity data of the anatomical measurement site is reliable and repeatable. | |||

| Clinical Testing: | I. Accuracy and Reproducibility of the Scout [WV13CL-0004]with 3 pre-defined head directions to simulate 57 different wounds. The area of eachobject was calculated in cm2 utilizing three different methodologies:PUSH Tool v 3.0 ("Ruler LxW Area")the Scout LxW ("Scout LxW Area")the Scout Trace ("Scout Trace Area" and "Scout Perimeter")Each shape was measured by three clinicians twice, using each of the threemeasurement methodologies (six measurements for each shape's predefined headdirection). The Coefficient of Individual Agreement (CIA) methodology was utilized tocompare the clinical reference standard ruler LxW area, the Scout LxW area, and theScout Trace methodology. The accuracy of the area calculated by each of the threemethods (ruler LxW, Scout LxW, and the Scout Trace) was determined by comparingresults to the known area of metal objects produced by a calibrated CNC Mill (Haasof each measurement were assessed. | Objectives and Purpose: Nineteen metal shapes with known areas were imaged, eachthe reference standard LxW (diameter) ruler method as recommended in the NPUAPModel VF3) with Mastercam X6 machining software. Both inter- and intra-rater reliability |

| Results:• The determination of area utilizing the Scout LxW function was equivalent with theclinical reference standard ruler LxW (Psi_R =.77, 95% CI (0.53, 1.02).• Both the ruler LxW and the Scout LxW measurements overestimate the true area byapproximately 37-40%.• The Scout Trace was the most accurate measure and resulted in area approximately4% different than the true area and 2% different than the true perimeter.• While the within-operator precision is better, the within and between operatorprecision is acceptable for all measurements (median %CV < 5) with the ScoutPerimeter being the least variable. |
|---|
| The within operator precision:• Scout Perimeter 1.94 CV%• Scout Trace Area 2.54 CV%• Scout LxW Area 3.87 CV% |
| The between operator precision:• Scout Perimeter 1.97 CV%• Scout Trace Area 2.80 CV%• Scout LxW Area 4.20 CV% |
| In conclusion, the Scout LxW method is equivalent to the current clinical reference standardruler LxW for calculating area. The Scout Trace method results in an area much closer to thetrue area than either the ruler LxW or the Scout LxW method. The within and betweenoperator precision median %CV is less than 5 for all measurements. |
| II. Comparison of Standardized Clinical Evaluation of Wounds Using Ruler Length byWidth and Scout Length by Width Measure and Scout Perimeter Trace [WV13CL-00061]Objectives and Purpose: Performance of the Scout device and data was evaluated for40 wound images that were captured in clinical outpatient and inpatient settings. Eachof the 40 wound images were measured 3 times by 5 independent operators using theScout. Analyses were completed to demonstrate the coefficient of variation for withinand between operator for Scout LxW Area and Trace Area and Perimeter measurements.The results of this study demonstrate: |
| • The within operator precision is acceptable (median CV% <10) for all threemeasurements.• Scout Perimeter 2.35 CV%• Scout Trace Area 3.72 CV%• Scout LxW Area 6.26 CV% |
:
{4}------------------------------------------------
The between operator variability is larger than the within but is still <10% for all . measurements (median %CV). The larger variability between readers suggests the differences in subjective perception of qualitative wound characteristics (wound edge) may influence wound assessment agreement and thus is to be expected. Scout Perimeter 3.71 CV% o Scout Trace Area 9.29 CV% O Scout LxW Area 9.82 CV% o The within operator results with actual wounds, median CV% 2.35-6.26, are similar to . those on simulated wounds of known size, median CV% 1.94-3.87 (WV13CL-0004) demonstrating that the device gives reliable results when used in the clinical setting for repeat measurements by the same operator. The between operator results with actual wounds median CV% 3.71-9.82, are . greater than those on simulated wounds of known size, median CV% 1.97-4.20. The determination of the shape or wound edge is cleaner with metal objects than with an actual wound image. These results are in alignment with findings reported in the literature that show the between operator differences exist not because of the measurement technique but instead due to the judgment of the operator performing the measurement. However, the between operator median %CV is less than 10 for all methodologies. ● Scout can be used by operators with varied backgrounds and provides similar results when clinical experts and non-clinicians utilize the device. Scout has been shown to provide reliable wound measurements on patient wounds . captured in a clinical setting. Scout provides accurate and reliable measurements of wound size, with the Scout . Perimeter being the least variable. Summary: The data from this study suggests that a single operator can measure the same . wound multiple times similarly. And as expected, multiple operators do not measure the same wound as well as a single operator. The variation that exists between readers in wound measurement is not necessarily due to the measurement technique but instead the judgment of the operator in determining the wound edges performing the measurement. . The within and between operator precision is acceptable for all measures but is similar for the Scout Trace Area (median %CV within- 3.72 and between 9.29) and the Scout LxW (median %CV within 6.26 and between 9.82). Perimeter measurement is more precise than both Traced Area and Scout LxW (median %CV within 2.35 and between 3.71). For all measurements, the within operator precision is better than the between operator.

| II. Trend of Thermal Image Data Utilizing Scout [WV13REP-0006] | Objectives and Purpose: To show that the thermal image data (thermal pixelvalues) acquired is consistent when the angle of the imager to a calibrated targetchanges. The target captured in each image using the Scout and ImageCapturewill be analyzed using Scout ImageReview to measure outcome of the endpoints.It is expected that there may be some variation in the thermal pixel valuesmeasured but that when there are variances, it will be a simple shift of themeasured endpoints with a variance under +/- 6 pixels of the target temperature.Results: The hypothesis was confirmed with this test. There was some variation inthe thermal pixel values measured but the variance was a small shift of themeasured endpoints with a variance under +/- 6 pixels of the target temperature.Objectives and Purpose: The target captured in each image using Scout will beanalyzed using Scout ImageReview software to measure the outcome of the | |||||
| endpoints over time. It is expected that there may be some variation in the | ||||||
| thermal pixel values measured of the target but that the variation pattern shouldbe similar amongst all imagers tested regardless of target temperature. | ||||||
| Results: Variation in the thermal pixel values measured on the target werediscovered. The variation pattern was similar amongst all imagers testedregardless of target temperature.

| III. Validation of the Thermal Intensity Scale Using a Scout Imager [WV13REP-0007] | Objectives and Purpose: To determine the accuracy of the scale of approximately12.7 pixels per 1°C. 12.7 pixels is determined from a 20°C range across a 254pixel value range (254/20 = 12.7 pixels per 1C). The L3 thermal camera core |
{6}------------------------------------------------
| contains 254 unique pixel values evenly distributed across approximately 20°Cand it expected that the difference in pixel value between each degree C will be12.7 (+/- 2 pixels) throughout the temperature range. | |
|---|---|
| Results: The hypothesis was confirmed with this test. The difference in pixel valuebetween each degree C was 12.7 (+/- 2 pixels) throughout the temperaturerange. | |
| IV. Determining Distance Impact on Thermal Intensity Utilizing Scout Imager | |
| [WV13REP-0008] | |
| Objectives and Purpose: To determine how distance affects the thermal intensityof a calibrated, unchanging target. It is expected that thermal intensity will varybased on the distance of image capture. The variation will be no greater than a+/- 6 mean pixel value per 6" of distance change. | |
| Results: The hypothesis was confirmed with this test. The thermal variation wasnot greater than a +/- 6 mode pixel value per 6" of distance change. Further, thelargest variation recorded during the test was +3 pixel values. | |
| V. Determining Environment Temperature Impact on Thermal Intensity Utilizing aScout Imager [WV13REP-0009] | |
| Objectives and Purpose: To determine how environmental temperature affects | |
| the thermal intensity of a calibrated, unchanging target. Thermal intensity pixelvalue is affected by environmental temperature when the image was captured. | |
| Results: The hypothesis was confirmed that environmental temperature does | |
| affect the thermal pixel value displayed by the thermal imager. The amount of | |
| the effect could not be conclusively confirmed from the data collected. Theoutcome of this test confirms need for the use of relative pixel value. | |
| VI. Determining FOV Correction Impact on Thermal Intensity [WV13REP-0010]Objectives and Purpose: To determine how the applied thermal image field ofview (FOV) correction affects thermal intensity. | |
| Results: Thermal intensity pixel value is not affected by the applied FOVcorrection to the thermal image. Across 30 data comparison points, only twodisplayed a slight mode difference of 1 pixel value. | |
| VII. Determining the Size Correction Accuracy Applied to the Thermal Image[WV13REP-0011] | |
| Objectives and Purpose: To determine how equivalent the thermal image is to | |
| the unaltered visual image after a scale correction is applied to the thermal. | |
| Results: The average % change between the Visual Image and Thermal Image | |
| after correction was -3.29%. The average % change between the Visual Image andthe Thermal Image without correction was 15.58%. | |
| Conclusions: | |
| In conclusion, clinical and non-clinical data supports the substantial equivalence ofthe Scout visual camera and measurements to its predicate and proves thosemeasurements to be repeatable and reliable. The tests also support the validationand accuracy of the adjunctive long-wave infrared camera. |
