AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the RADMAX Digital Imaging Software, focusing on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K123650: ARIX RAD ACQUISITION CONSOLE). Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't present a formal table of quantitative acceptance criteria with reported numerical performance values in the way a diagnostic AI would. Instead, it uses a comparative table to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device (K123650: ARIX RAD ACQUISITION CONSOLE) across various functionalities. The "acceptance criteria" here are essentially that the new device's functionality must be "Same" or, if "different," must have "No impact on safety or efficacy" and "no new potential or increased safety risks."

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

The document mentions "nonclinical testing results are provided in the 510(k)" and that "The Validation Test Plan was designed to evaluate all input functions, output functions, and actions performed by the RADMAX Digital Imaging Software and followed the process documented in the System Validation Test Plan." However, it does not specify the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for any testing.

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

The document does not provide information on the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth. The device functionality is primarily compared against a predicate device based on technical specifications rather than diagnostic performance against clinical ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

The document does not describe any adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. The testing appears to be focused on system validation and functionality comparison, not on inter-rater agreement for diagnostic interpretations.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned in the provided text. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence in features and functionality, not on how the software improves human reader performance or diagnostic accuracy.

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

The document explicitly states: "Diagnosis is not performed by the software but by Radiologists, Clinicians and or referring Physicians." This indicates the device is not a standalone diagnostic algorithm; it's an imaging software for acquisition, processing, and management. Therefore, a standalone performance study as typically understood for an AI diagnostic algorithm was not performed or applicable in this context.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

Given that the device is primarily a software for image acquisition, processing, and management, the "ground truth" for its validation appears to be functional correctness and adherence to technical specifications rather than clinical ground truth (like pathology results or physician consensus on a diagnosis). The "predetermined acceptance criteria" mentioned in the nonclinical testing section would likely relate to whether the software performs its intended functions as designed (e.g., correct image acquisition, storage, processing, display of controls).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not mention any training set size. This is consistent with the device being a general imaging software rather than a machine learning or AI-driven diagnostic tool that requires a training set.

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

Since there's no mention of a training set, there's no information on how its ground truth would have been established.
