Intended Use

HeartSee K171303 Software for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) is indicated for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in cc/min/g, Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to assist clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images by quantification of their severity.

HeartSee K171303 is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification. The clinician remains ultimately responsible for the final assessment and diagnosis based on standard practices, clinical judgment and interpretation of PET images or quantitative data.

Device Description

HeartSee K171303 is a software tool for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in cc/min/q, Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map for facilitating the interpretation of PET perfusion images in patients with suspected ot known coronary artery disease. HeartSee K171303 is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians, nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification.

HeartSee contains two fundamental components. First, the software imports cardiac PET images in DICOM format from PET scanners with DICOM output. These images are reoriented to cardiac axes to produce standard tomographic and topographic displays of relative uptake. Second, the K171303 software quantifies absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion per unit tissue (cc/min/g), Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) as the stress/rest perfusion ratio and the Coronary Flow Capacity combining CFR and stress perfusion, all on a pixel basis for regional and global values. Archiving output data is supported for clinical diagnostics, quality control and research.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating that K171303 performs "identically" to the predicate device (K143664) for certain metrics and "better" for others.

Acceptance Criteria / Performance MetricPredicate Device (K143664) PerformanceDevice (K171303) PerformanceResult (K171303 vs. K143664)
Quantitative Measurements:
Rest Perfusion (cc/min/g)N/A (implicit)Values within two decimal places of K143664Identical

Correlation between K171303 and K143664 for Rest-Stress perfusion and CFRN/A (implicit)R = 1.0, P < 1 x 10^-16Tightly correlated
Clinical Association (Risk Stratification):
Association with Major Adverse Coronary Events (MACE)Significant (by Cox multivariate analysis)Significant (by Cox multivariate analysis)Equally well
Association with higher MACE than CFR or stress perfusion aloneNot significant (implicit)SignificantBetter (higher MACE association)
Association with reduced death and myocardial infarction after revascularizationNot significantSignificantBetter (significant association)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: 4188 rest and 4188 stress PET perfusion scans.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It also does not explicitly state if the data was retrospective or prospective. However, given that the study is comparing performance of two software versions on an existing dataset, it's highly likely to be retrospective analysis of previously acquired patient scans.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish the ground truth or their qualifications. The study primarily focuses on the algorithmic output against its predicate and clinical association, rather than expert-derived ground truth for individual scan features.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

The document does not describe an adjudication method for the test set. The comparison is between the outputs of two software versions (K171303 and K143664) and their statistical association with clinical outcomes, not against a consensus-based ground truth adjudicated by experts.

5. 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

A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study focused on human reader improvement with and without AI assistance was not done or reported in this summary. The study reported here is a direct comparison of two algorithmic software versions (K171303 vs. K143664) and their association with clinical outcomes.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was done. The entire summary describes the performance of the K171303 software in processing PET scans and generating quantitative values and maps, implicitly comparing it to the K143664 software, also in a standalone manner. The clinical associations are derived from these algorithmic outputs without explicitly evaluating human-in-the-loop performance.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth used for performance evaluation appears to be:

  • Algorithmic equivalence: For the quantitative measurements (perfusion, CFR), the ground truth for K171303's accuracy is its identical output to the predicate K143664.
  • Outcomes data: For the clinical associations (MACE, reduced death and MI after revascularization), the ground truth is the actual patient outcomes.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. It describes a "study" involving the analysis of 4188 rest and 4188 stress PET perfusion scans, which serves as the test set for comparison between K171303 and K143664. It is not clear if these scans were also part of a training set, or if an entirely separate training set was used for developing the software versions. Given the explanation of K171303 being "identical" in code to K143664 with the addition of the CFC map, it's plausible that the core algorithms were developed using separate data, and these 4188 scans validate the outputs and the new CFC map's utility.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Since the document does not specify the training set sample size, it also does not detail how the ground truth for any training set was established.

Summary of technological characteristics of your device compared to predicate

device: K171303 and K143664 are software tools using identical standard, industrial computing hardware and applications The code in the software package K171303 is identical to K143664 including determination of quantitative myocardial perfusion in cc/min/g and Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) and their displays except for the addition of the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) map to K171303.

In K171303, Coronary Flow Capacity combines CFR and stress perfusion by plotting their values for each pixel on a clinically defined, objective, color coded plot of combined ranges of values that assigns a color to that pixel for the corresponding range of combined values of CFR and stress perfusion. That color-coded pixel is then back projected into its original coordinate position in the topographic map. All pixels of the LV image are correspondingly color coded for ranges of combined CFR and stress perfusion for each pixel thereby producing a single four quadrant left ventricular map of the combined CFR-stress perfusion ranges. By incorporating all the stress perfusion and CFR data into objectively coded ranges on a pixel basis, the CFC map accounts for global and regional heterogeneity, objectively simplifies complex data for optimal clinical interpretation and associates with major adverse coronary events (MACE) and decreased death and myocardial infarction after revascularization better than CFR or stress flow alone in K143664.

Summary of performance data:

In 4188 rest and 4188 stress PET perfusion scans were analyzed by K143664 and separately by K171303. Rest and stress perfusion values in cc/min/g and CFR using K171303 were identical within two decimal places to the values using K143664, as were the mean values and their standard deviations. Rest-stress perfusion and CFR using K171303 and 143664 were tightly correlated with R = 1.0 and P < 1 x 10 -16

By Cox multivariate analysis, CFR and separately stress perfusion associate significantly with maior adverse coronary events (MACE) equally well for K171303 and K143664. However, the CFC map of K171303 associates significantly with higher MACE than either CFR or stress perfusion alone and also associates significantly with reduced death and myocardial infarction after revascularization. In contrast, CFR and stress perfusion alone in K143663 does not have a significant association with reduced death and myocardial infarction after revascularization.

Conclusions drawn from the performance data that demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device: K171303 performs identically to K143664 for determining rest and stress perfusion in cc/min/q, CFR and for significant associations with MACE. However, the CFC map of K171303 performs better for risk stratification than K143664 by its association with higher MACE than CFR or stress perfusion alone in K143664. As an additional superiority for risk stratification, K171303 associates with reduced death and myocardial infarction after revascularization that is not seen for CFR or stress perfusion alone in K143664. Therefore, K171303 has the same functionality as K143664 but performs better than K143664 for risk stratification of patients with suspected or known CAD.
