AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Rezūm System, a medical device for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and its clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the studies that prove the device meets them, based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a set of predefined thresholds for clinical outcomes. Instead, it reports the "effectiveness" of the device, primarily measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and its "safety." The approval for substantial equivalence suggests that the reported performance was deemed acceptable by the FDA.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The "test set" in this context refers to the clinical study populations.

  • Rezūm FIM Optimization Study:

    • Sample Size: 15 subjects (14 with 6 months follow-up data).
    • Data Provenance: Single site, specific country not explicitly stated, but likely prospective.
  • Rezūm I Pilot Study:

    • Sample Size: 50 patients (45 enrolled in European sites).
    • Data Provenance: 3 centers (two in Europe, one in Latin America). Open label, single arm, prospective.
  • Rezūm II Pivotal Study:

    • Sample Size: 197 subjects (136 randomized to treatment, 61 to control).
    • Data Provenance: Blinded, 2:1 randomized placebo-controlled study. Countries not specified, but this is a multi-center, prospective study.

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

The document does not provide details on the number or qualifications of experts involved in establishing the "ground truth" for the clinical studies. For BPH clinical trials, the "ground truth" often relies on objective measures (like prostate volume, flow rates) and patient-reported outcomes (like IPSS), which are standard clinical assessments rather than expert consensus on imaging interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for the test set in the sense of independent review of endpoints or adverse events by a separate committee. However, the Rezūm II Pivotal Study was described as a "blinded" and "randomized placebo control study," which inherently includes methods to minimize bias in data collection and assessment.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are typically used to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance in interpreting medical images. The Rezūm System is a therapeutic device, and the studies focused on its direct clinical outcomes compared to a control or baseline, not on enhancing human diagnostic capabilities.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, the studies were effectively "standalone" in terms of evaluating the device's performance as a therapeutic intervention. The Rezūm System is a medical device that performs a procedure; its "performance" is its ability to treat BPH and improve patient symptoms, which was assessed directly in the clinical trials without human diagnostic interpretation of an algorithm output being the primary endpoint.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the effectiveness of the Rezūm System was based on:

  • Patient-reported outcomes: Primarily the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), which measures symptoms associated with BPH.
  • Clinical outcomes: Reduction in prostate tissue (inferred from the mechanism of action and likely measured, though not detailed as a primary endpoint in the summary), and the occurrence of adverse events.
  • Clinical assessment: Responders defined by a certain improvement in IPSS.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document describes clinical studies used to evaluate the device rather than "training" a machine learning algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of AI development. The clinical studies (FIM, Pilot, Pivotal) served as the primary evidence for safety and effectiveness.

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

As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm, this question is not applicable. The clinical study results were established through direct patient observation, validated questionnaires (IPSS), and medical follow-up as discussed in point 7.

INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE 1.7

The Rezum System is intended to relieve symptoms, obstructions, and reduce prostate tissue associated with BPH. It is indicated for men ≥ 50 years of age with a prostate volume ≥ 30cm3 and ≤ 80 cm³. The Rezūm System is also indicated for treatment of prostate with hyperplasia of the central zone and/or a median lobe.

1.8 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The device converts water into vapor outside of the body and the vapor is delivered to the prostate tissue via a needle within the sterile Delivery Device. The vapor ablates the targeted tissue within the prostate via thermal ablation as energy is transferred from the vapor to the prostate tissue.

The amount of vapor delivered is controlled by an RF Generator which also controls the amount of saline flush used to cool the urethra.

1.9 PERFORMANCE DATA

The Rezūm System has been tested to meet the FDA 2010 BPH guidance where applicable for preclinical and clinical testing.

The Rezum System has been tested and meets all its physical and performance specifications on the bench including:

  • Dimensions ●
  • Tensile strength tests
  • Full functional tests
  • Calories tests
  • Hardware tests ●
  • Software verification and validation
  • Packaging tests
  • Distribution tests

In addition, the Delivery Device was tested for biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 for short duration contact with tissue and mucosal membrane (<24 hours). The device is sterilized by ethylene oxide to an SAL 10° level. These performances are similar to that described by the predicate device. The testing showed that the device meets specifications before and after aging indicating that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The device has also been tested in 3 clinical studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Rezum device: 65 patients in the feasibility and pilot open label studies and in a 197 patient randomized placebo controlled study. All these studies showed that the device is safe and effective.

1.10 SUMMARY OF CLINICAL DATA

REZŪM FIM OPTIMIZATION STUDY 1.10.1

Fifteen subjects were enrolled in one site in this study to determine the optimum settings and vapor dosage for the Rezum System. Subjects were evaluated for outcomes, adverse events and prostate and lesion sizes at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.

Fifteen subjects were enrolled and treated in this study with 14 subjects having 6 months follow up data. All procedures were completed successfully and there were no unanticipated adverse event. The outcomes for the subjects were equivalent for the full range of energy tested although the higher energy group exhibited more acute AE. Site reported AE early in the study and was typical for thermal ablation of the prostate. Rapid IPSS improvement was observed at 1 month and continues to be improving through 6 months and 12 months.

REZŪM I PILOT STUDY 1.10.2

This is an open label, single arm study involving 3 centers, two in Europe and one from Latin America. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study, 45 of whom were enrolled in the two European sites. Only one energy level was used in this study. The IPSS improvement is consistent with the results from Rezūm FIM Optimization Study and improvements in IPSS persist through the 2 year follow up. At month 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, more than 80% of the subjects treated were responders for all the time period. There were no unanticipated adverse events with most of the reported adverse event related to LUTS symptoms and occurred in the acute healing phase.

REZŪM II PIVOTAL STUDY 1.10.3

This is a blinded, 2:1 randomized placebo control study. 197 subjects were enrolled in this study. 136 subjects were randomized to the treatment arm and 61 were assigned to the control arm. 83.6% of the control subjects crossed over to the treatment arm. The rest of the subjects either did not qualify at the time of the crossover or exited the study.

The primary objective is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the device. On an intention to treat basis, the results showed that the device is safe (p<0.0001). The effectiveness as measured by IPSS. At 3 months, the effectiveness of the Rezum System was superior to the control group (p<0.001). The long term effectiveness was measured at 6 and 12 months by comparing the IPSS to the subjects' baseline. At 6 months, 75% of the subjects were responders (p<0.0001) and at 12 months, 77% of the subjects were responders (p<0.0001).

There were no unanticipated adverse events.

{6}------------------------------------------------

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 1.11

The Rezūm System is substantially equivalent to the Prostiva Device (K113380/K142248). It has the same intended use for thermal ablation of BPH tissue. The test and clinical data showed that the technological difference between the Rezūm and its predicate do not raise safety and efficacy issues. The Rezum II randomized placebo controlled clinical trial data showed that the device is effective in relieving the symptoms of BPH and does not raise new questions of safety.

1.12 CONCLUSION

Based on the test data and the same intended use, the Rezūm System is found to be substantially equivalent to its predicate.
