Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The core acceptance criteria for the CliniScanSM EEG, specifically for its Seizure Detection component, revolve around its ability to accurately identify seizures (Positive Percent Agreement - PPA) and limit false alarms (False Positives per Hour - Fp/H) when compared to a ground truth established by experts. While specific numerical acceptance thresholds are not explicitly stated in the provided text as pass/fail criteria, the study results are presented with a 95% confidence interval, indicating an evaluation against expected performance. The comparison to predicate devices also implies that performance within a similar range is considered acceptable.
| Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (95% C.I.) |
|---|---|---|
| Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) | Sufficiently high to assist qualified clinical practitioners. Validated against expert inter-rater variability. | [0.687, 0.857] (Original Mean: 0.7835) |
| False Positives per Hour (Fp/H) | Sufficiently low to avoid overwhelming clinicians with false alarms. Validated against expert inter-rater variability. | [0.325, 0.540] (Original Mean: 0.4164) |
| Essentially, the device performance is considered "sufficient" if its PPA and Fp/H are comparable to expected inter-rater variability among experts and to predicate devices. |
Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: 144 subjects, totaling approximately 293 hours of EEG recordings.
- Data Provenance: Archived clinical data from multiple sites, specifically from an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU). The recordings are from subjects 18 years of age and greater. Roughly 20% of the recordings are "normal" (from subjects with no history of seizures), and each recording contains no more than 4 seizures to reduce bias. After ground truth determination, 134 seizures were identified.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: Three independent and blinded EEG experts.
- Qualifications: "EEG experts" – no further specific details (e.g., years of experience, board certification) are provided in the text.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- Adjudication Method: A "two-thirds majority rule" was used to determine the ground truth for seizure presence. Each expert manually marked any seizure events, and if at least two out of the three experts marked a seizure in a particular segment, it was considered ground truth.
-
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:
- No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study with human readers assisted by AI was not explicitly described. The study primarily focused on the standalone performance of the algorithm against an expert-established ground truth. The inter-rater performance among the experts themselves was assessed, but not a human-in-the-loop scenario with the AI.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the CliniScanSM EEG seizure detection algorithm was conducted. The algorithm's results were directly compared to the compiled ground truth, and PPA and Fp/H were calculated. The provided results table ([0.687,0.857] for PPA and [0.325,0.540] for Fp/H) represents this standalone performance.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Type of Ground Truth: Expert consensus, specifically a "two-thirds majority rule" among three independent and blinded EEG experts.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- The document states that "archived clinical data from multiple sites was used to train and validate the internal parameters involved in seizure detection." However, the specific sample size for the training set is not provided.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- The document implies that archived clinical data was used for training, but it does not explicitly detail how the ground truth for this training set was established. It only mentions that the test set ground truth was established by three independent and blinded EEG experts using a two-thirds majority rule.

{11}------------------------------------------------
-
- Product Code: Persyst Reveal and Picofemto's Cliniscan® EEG both fall under product code OMB with a secondary product code OLT. Both devices mark events in previously acquired EEG recordings with supplemental quantitative EEG analysis.
-
- Product Class: Both devices are a product class II due to the possibility of a medical professional relying on device output to determine patient diagnosis. Neither device attempts to diagnose a disease or ailment of any kind, and results must always be reviewed by qualified medical professionals.
-
- EEG Modality Compatible: Both devices are intended to take previously acquired EEG recordings and analytically process the data.
- Identifies Seizures: Both devices detect seizure activity. Cliniscan® EEG detects seizures by 4. highlighting the window of the suggested event location. Persyst Reveal provides an equivalent single bar with the seizure event indicated.
-
- Intended Use Age Range: Both devices are intended for use in adults; however, Persyst Reveal includes pediatric use for seizure detection.
-
- Montage/Channel Array: Both devices are compatible with a standard 21-channel 10/20 monopolar montage using scalp electrodes.
-
- Type of EEG Analysis: Both devices are intended for use in post-hoc analysis of EEG recordings. Neither device is meant to detect events in real-time analysis or to administer any medication based on detected events.
-
- Data Storage: Both devices offer data storage so the user only needs to upload the EEG recording one-time. In Cliniscan® EEG, data is stored safely on the cloud for the user to access from any compatible device.
-
- Artifact Reduction: Both products offer artifact reduction using overlapping epochs to remove artifacts resulting from muscle twitches, eye movement, electrical, heartbeat, tongue and chewing. Persyst Reveal offers artifact reduction based on a user selection using blind source separation algorithms. Cliniscan500 uses measures of Kurtosis in back-end processing to automatically remove artifacts.
-
- Wavelet Sub-band Decomposition: Both devices decompose brain waves into alpha (8-12 Hz), beta (13-30 Hz), delta (<3 Hz), theta (4-7 Hz), and gamma (30-100 Hz) waves.
-
- Density Spectral Maps: Persyst Reveal and Cliniscan® EEG both derive a color density spectral array map using the results from the Fast Fourier Transform to calculate and display the power spectrum.
-
- FFT Power Spectrum: Both devices use FFT to produce a graphical output of amplitude verses frequency (Power Spectrum) for a reader to view the overview of a long period EEG in the frequency range.
-
- EEG Topographical Maps: Persyst Reveal and Cliniscan® EEG topographical maps available to the user. Cliniscan300 EEG uses independent component analysis to generate a heat map indicating the relative power of independent activity at each electrode. Persyst Reveal uses a similar approach by displaying a topographic map of the voltage and frequency concentrated at each electrode. There is no substantial technological difference between how each device chooses to calculate and display EEG Topographical Maps.
-
- Coherence Mapping: All three devices calculate coherence using the same methodology; however, Cliniscan®® EEG and Curry 7 provide a simple coherence visualization for the user to view. They both display coherence values on a generic image merely to aid the user in identifying electrode locations, as opposed to placing them in a table. Although Curry 7 is a

{12}------------------------------------------------
multimodal device, the Signal Processing Module available with Curry 7 only uses the EEG data acquired for qEEG calculations (including coherence), which is equivalent to the coherence calculated and displayed by CliniscanSM EEG.
Coherence Mapping does not change the intended use or safety and effectiveness of the device when compared to Curry 7 because both devices still intend to aid a qualified EEG expert in the visualization and analysis of the electrical activity of the brain found in EEG recordings. Curry 7 provides an almost identical and functionally equivalent Coherence Map for the user to view coherence between electrodes, including 2D maps and user-defined threshold values. Therefore, there is no substantial difference in safety or effectiveness of Cliniscan® EEG's Coherence Mapping versus predicate Curry 7.
-
- User-defined parameters for display purposes: Both devices offer user-defined parameters for display purposes. Persyst Reveal offers a user-defined threshold to detect seizure events with an increased sensitivity at a cost of increased false detections per hour. Cliniscan® offers userdefined parameters for determining coherence between different parts of the brain. There is no suggested initial parameter threshold, and the results are displayed based on the user-defined threshold (0-1).
-
- Cloud Based: Persyst Reveal requires locally downloaded software; Cliniscan504 EEG is built in the cloud with cloud storage, making it much more easily accessible.
-
- Operating Systems: Cliniscan300 EEG is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The compatible operating systems for Peryst Reveal is unknown; however, this feature does not introduce any questions of safety or effectiveness.
-
- Web Browsers: Cliniscan50 EEG works on both FireFox ESR 24 and Google Chrome 35. This feature is not applicable to Peryst Reveal since no web browser is necessary; however, this feature does not introduce any questions of safety and effectiveness.
-
- Computer hardware needed but not provided: Persyst Reveal: Unknown. Cliniscan50 EEG: Minimum Screen size: 13″, Recommended screen size: 20″, Minimum amount of RAM: 4Gb, Recommended: 8Gb, Minimum Processor Speed: 1Ghz, Minimum display width of 1366 pixels and minimum display height of 768 pixels, Recommended display width is 1920 pixels and recommended display height is 1200 pixels. This feature does not introduce any questions of safety and effectiveness.
Predicate Device Comparison Conclusion: Cliniscan501 EEG has the same intended use/indications for use and technological features as the predicate Persyst Reveal with no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Persyst Reveal and Cliniscan®60 EEG differ in that Cliniscan®6 EEG additionally provides Coherence Mapping equivalent to Curry 7; however, this feature does not introduce any additional questions of safety and effectiveness. Persyst Reveal and Cliniscan® EEG are both designed to assist qualified medical professionals through the use of qEEG tools and automatic seizure event detection for post-hoc analysis of EEG recordings.

Testing was performed at the unit, integration, and functional/system Non-Clinical Performance Data: levels and included verification testing of algorithms and risk control measures. Synthetic data was used to test ICA, Coherence, FFT, and Seizure Detection. Furthermore, archived clinical data from multiple sites was used to train and validate the internal parameters involved in seizure detection.
{14}------------------------------------------------
- A clinical study was conducted to demonstrate substantial safety and effectiveness when Clinical Study Cliniscan5M EEG's event detection algorithm is compared to ground truth (two-thirds Data: majority rule of manual markings by EEG experts). These claims are supported by evaluating the Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and False Positives per hour (Fp/H) of Cliniscan®M EEG verses ground truth, each EEG expert verses the compiled ground truth, and comparison to previous results from predicate Persyst Reveal.
Subject Population and Test Data Set
Cliniscan® EEG was evaluated using 144 subjects for seizure determination acquired from the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU). Recordings are attained as archived clinical data from subjects 18 years of age and greater. Each recording lasts approximately 2 hours for a total of about 293 hours of EEG recordings. Roughly 20% of the recordings are "normal", coming from subjects with no history of seizures; each recording contains no more than 4 seizures to reduce bias and heavily weighted results. After ground truth determination, 134 seizures were identified in the clinical study collection. All recordings were previously acquired using a standard 10-20 montage scalp EEG and saved down in .edf format.
Image /page/14/Figure/3 description: The image is a bar graph titled "Clinical Study Recording Age Ranges". The x-axis is labeled "Age Ranges (years)" and shows age ranges from 18-25 to 66+. The y-axis is labeled "Number of Recordings" and ranges from 0 to 35. The bar graph shows that the 18-25 age range has the most recordings, with approximately 32 recordings.
Reference Standard (Ground Truth)
Each of the 144 recordings were manually marked for seizure onset and offset by three independent and blinded EEG experts. Each expert was provided with a basic EEG visualizer loaded onto a remote machine along with the previously acquired EEG recordings. The end point for the clinical study was for each EEG expert to manually mark any seizure events located in the collection of EEG recordings. Due to the expected inter-rater variability, a two-thirds majority rule was used to determine the ground truth for seizure presence.

Statistical Analysis
-
- Inter-rater Performance for Seizure Detection
Each rater is compared to every other rater to find their relative PPA and Fp/H. The PPAs ranged from 0.77-0.90 and the Fp/H ranged from 0.13-0.20. These ranges are typical for acceptable predicate devices; therefore, the inter-rater agreement is sufficient for compiling a 2/3 majority ground truth.
- Inter-rater Performance for Seizure Detection
| Rater 1 | Rater 2 | Rater 3 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPA | Fp/H | PPA | Fp/H | PPA | Fp/H | |
| Rater 1 | - | - | 0.90 | 0.14 | 0.84 | 0.13 |
| Rater 2 | 0.90 | 0.14 | - | - | 0.77 | 0.16 |
| Rater 3 | 0.84 | 0.16 | 0.77 | 0.20 | - | - |
-
- Algorithm Seizure Detection Analysis
The same recordings marked by all three EEG experts were ran through the Cliniscan5M EEG event detection algorithm. The algorithm results are compared to the compiled ground truth using PPA and Fp/H (See eq.1 and eq.2). A bootstrap method is compiled to create a 95% confidence interval to compare the algorithm to ground truth.
