Intended Use
MyoStrain software is an image processing device that post-processes strain-encoded (SENC) images, which are acquired by MRI systems equipped with a SENC pulse sequence. MyoStrain software receives SENC images from MRI storage and archives, and performs extraction of time-resolved, quantitative strain information per voxel and other cardiac measurements, viewing, image manipulations, communications, and printing. Available measurements include longitudinal and circumferential strain to quantitatively describe the wall motion of the heart. Tools are provided to display regional motion properties of the heart. A report interface is provided. Measurement tools provide information that can be output in standardized or specialized report formats. This interface makes it possible to quickly and reliably fill out of complete clinical report of a cardiac imaging exam with strain. The results of the measurement tools are interpreted by the physician and can be communicated to referring physicians to support the determination of a diagnosis.
Device Description
The Myocardial Solutions Myostrain is software that runs on Windows-based operating systems to view and analyze SENC MR images of the heart in DICOM format. MyoStrain quantifies regional and global cardiac function from SENC images by implementing the SENC processing methods. With a friendly graphic user interface, users are able to analyze SENC MR images and obtain fast and reproducible measurements of myocardial strain, ejection fraction, and volumes. Measurements are collected presented on screen as a report showing values as colors and numbers, and this report can be printed or exported in digital format.

No
The description focuses on traditional image processing techniques (SENC processing methods) and quantitative measurements derived from these methods. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The performance studies rely on traditional statistical methods like Limit of Agreement and correlation coefficients, not metrics typically associated with AI/ML model evaluation (e.g., AUC, sensitivity/specificity of a classification model).

No
The device is described as an "image processing device" that provides quantitative measurements and reports for physician interpretation to support diagnosis, but it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes

The software "performs extraction of time-resolved, quantitative strain information per voxel and other cardiac measurements," which are then "interpreted by the physician and can be communicated to referring physicians to support the determination of a diagnosis." This indicates its role in providing information used for diagnostic purposes.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as "software that runs on Windows-based operating systems" and its function is to process and analyze images acquired by a separate hardware device (MRI system). It does not include any hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • MyoStrain's function: MyoStrain software processes medical images (MRI) acquired from a patient's heart. It analyzes the motion of the heart muscle based on these images.
  • No biological samples: The device does not interact with or analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. Its input is image data.

Therefore, MyoStrain falls under the category of medical image processing software rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Myocardial Solutions Myostrain is software that runs on Windows-based operating systems to view and analyze SENC MR images of the heart in DICOM format. MyoStrain quantifies regional and global cardiac function from SENC images by implementing the SENC processing methods. With a friendly graphic user interface, users are able to analyze SENC MR images and obtain fast and reproducible measurements of myocardial strain, ejection fraction, and volumes. Measurements are collected presented on screen as a report showing values as colors and numbers, and this report can be printed or exported in digital format.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

MyoStrain software is an image processing device that post-processes strain-encoded (SENC) images, which are acquired by MRI systems equipped with a SENC pulse sequence. MyoStrain software receives SENC images from MRI storage and archives, and performs extraction of time-resolved, quantitative strain information per voxel and other cardiac measurements, viewing, image manipulations, communications, and printing. Available measurements include longitudinal and circumferential strain to quantitatively describe the wall motion of the heart. Tools are provided to display regional motion properties of the heart. A report interface is provided. Measurement tools provide information that can be output in standardized or specialized report formats. This interface makes it possible to quickly and reliably fill out of complete clinical report of a cardiac imaging exam with strain. The results of the measurement tools are interpreted by the physician and can be communicated to referring physicians to support the determination of a diagnosis.

The indications for Use statement for MyoStrain is not identical to the predicate device: however, the difference do not alter the intend use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use for the diagnosis of cardiac issues by analyzing cardiac MRIs.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The technological principle for the subject and the predicate device is based on the use of the same feature of MR tagging to generate temporary spatial modulation of magnetization in the tissue. These MR tagging deforms with contraction and relaxation of the myocardium and can, therefore, be used to track and quantify the deformation. Both the subject and predicate device measure deformation in the form of cardiac strain computed from the MRI images. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices use the following same technological elements:

  • MR Tagging Pulse Sequences: Both uses images acquired by MRI pulse sequences . based on MR Tagging
  • Produce measurements of strain, specifically the longitudinal and circumferential strains ●
  • Use of a Standalone computer system running Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 ●

The following technological difference exist between the subject and the predicate devices:

  • The subject has the MR Tagging planes parallel to the imaging slice, therefore producing ● what is called strain-encoded (SENC) MRI images, while predicate device uses MR Tagging orthogonal to the imaging plane

5

  • The subject measures the strain in the through-plane direction, while the predicate device measures it in the in-plane directions.
  • . The SENC images used in the subject device are acquired in as fast as one heartbeat acquisition, which is much faster than typical MR Tagging acquisition used in the predicate device.

VII. ACCURACY OF MYOSTRAIN MEASUREMENTS

The accuracy of MyoStrain measurements are determined by the Limit of Agreement (LOA). The LOA is the range that covers the 95% of differences between the measurement of the two devices. For example, if MyoStrain measures LVEF of 67%, the LOA of (-13,+10) means that 95% for a large number LVEF values of the same subject measured using the gold standard Cine MRI will lie between 54% and 77%. The LOA depends on many factors, including images quality and inter-operator and inter-observer variabilities. This LOA was originally based on two predicate devices (Diagnosoft HARP for Strain, Diagnosoft VIRTUE for traditional measurements), however these ranges have been reduced to reflect measured accuracy in MyoStrain.

To demonstrate the accuracy of MyoStrain measurements, we calculated the correlation coefficients using Diagnosoft VIRTUE 5.51 measurements of the LV EF, End-Diastolic Volume (EDV), End-Systolic Volume (ESV), Mass, and Stroke Volume (SV). We considered the measurements accurate by requiring that the variations in global measurements due to workstation and user variability to be within the accepted cutoffs of published guidelines and clinical results. We specified that targeted correlation coefficients of the global measures generated by MyoStrain, in comparison to the gold standard cardiac MRI, must be equal or better than the following: EF: R=0.79, p
