Intended Use

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX Application is a notification-only triage workflow tool for use by hospital networks and clinics to identify and help prioritize chest X-rays acquired in the acute setting for review by hospital radiologists. The device operates in parallel to and independent of standard of care image interpretation workflow. Specifically, the device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of moderate to large sized pneumothorax; it makes caselevel output available to a PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. Identification of suspected cases of moderate to large sized pneumothorax is not for diagnostic use beyond notification.

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX Application is limited to analysis of imaging data as a guide to possible urgency of adult chest X-ray image review, and should not be used in lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnoses. Notified radiologists are responsible for engaging in appropriate patient evaluation as per local hospital procedure before making care-related decisions or requests. The device does not replace review and diagnosis of the X-rays by radiologists. The device is not intended to be used with plain film X-rays.

Device Description

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX provides a chest X-ray prioritization service for use by radiologists to identify features suggestive of moderate to large sized pneumothorax. The artificial intelligence algorithm, trained via pattern recognition, processes each chest X-ray and flags those that appear to contain a moderate to large sized pneumothorax for urgent radiologist review. X-rays without an identified anomaly are placed in the worklist for routine review, which is the current standard of care. The user interface is minimal, consisting of the radiologist's existing picture archiving and communication system (PACS) viewer and worklist in which positively identified images are flagged by the software to notify of the suspected anomaly. Images are not marked or otherwise altered, and no diagnoses are provided.

The device does not have any direct accessories. However, it interacts with hospital communication and database systems in order to read and analyze cases in the worklist of the hospital's PACS system in order to identify suspected abnormal findings and transmit corresponding notifications to reflect its recommended prioritization of patient examinations for radiologist review. The software output is compatible with any PACS viewer and worklist.

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

  • Sample Size: 300 frontal chest X-rays (PA/AP).
  • Data Provenance: Collected from US and OUS (Outside US) patients, representative of the intended population. The datasets are specifically identified as NIH (US) and PADCHEST (OUS). The study was retrospective.
    • Patient Demographics: 168 (56%) male with mean age 51.6 years (SD=18.6, range 18-91), and 132 (44%) female with mean age 51.8 years (SD=16.2, range 23-86).

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

  • Number of Experts: 3 independent radiologists.
  • Qualifications: US-board certified radiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The ground truth was established by 3 independent US-board certified radiologists.
  • Each "Truther" involved in the ground truthing process was blinded to any other Truther's results, to any existing report, and to the results obtained by the AIMI-Triage CXR PTX software. This implies that the ground truth was established by individual assessment and likely involved a consensus or majority vote among the 3 radiologists, although the specific "2+1" or "3+1" method is not explicitly stated. The emphasis on independent and blinded assessment supports a robust adjudication process.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • It is not explicitly stated that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done to measure human reader improvement with AI assistance. The study focuses on standalone AI performance compared to a ground truth established by experts.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was conducted. The "AIMI-Triage CXR PTX output was compared to the ground truth established by 3 independent US-board certified radiologists." This indicates the algorithm's performance without direct human-in-the-loop assistance during the evaluation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Expert Consensus: The ground truth was established by "3 independent US-board certified radiologists." While "consensus" isn't explicitly used, the involvement of multiple blinded experts suggests a robust process to define the true positive/negative cases.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. It only mentions that the artificial intelligence algorithm was "trained via pattern recognition."

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

  • The document does not specify how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only indicates that the algorithm was "trained via pattern recognition."

review by hospital radiologists. The device operates in parallel to and independent of standard of care image interpretation workflow. Specifically, the device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of moderate to large sized pneumothorax; it makes caselevel output available to a PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. Identification of suspected cases of moderate to large sized pneumothorax is not for diagnostic use beyond notification.

Notified radiologists are responsible for engaging in appropriate patient evaluation as per local hospital procedure before making care-related decisions or requests. The device does not replace review and diagnosis of the X-rays by radiologists. The device is not intended to be used with plain film X-rays.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

AIMI-Triage CXR PTX is technologically similar to the predicate device. Both are based on algorithms which have been trained to analyze images suggestive of pre-defined lung abnormalities and notify an appropriate clinician of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. The algorithms function similarly and with the same purpose of signaling potential pneumothorax without providing diagnosis or altering the original datasets. There are no notable technological differences between the subject and predicate devices. A table comparing the key features of the subject and predicate devices is provided in the substantial equivalence table below.

Performance Data

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX was evaluated and verified in a blinded, retrospective and multi-center study for detecting pneumothorax in chest X-rays. A total of 300 frontal chest X-rays (PA/AP) were collected from US and OUS patients representative of the intended population. 168 (56%) were male with mean age 51.6 years and SD=18.6 (range 18-91), and 132 (44%) were female with mean age 51.8 and SD=16.2 (range 23-86).

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX output was compared to the ground truth established by 3 independent US-board certified radiologists (Truther involved in the ground truthing process was blinded to any other Truther's results, to any existing report, and to the results obtained by the AlMI-Triage CXR PTX software. Overall, the device was able to demonstrate an area under the curve (AUC) of 96.7% (95.0%, 98.4%)), which is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and meets the required performance goal. The sensitivity of the device was 92% (95% CI: [86%, 96%]) and 90% (95% CI: [84%, 95%]), respectively.

In addition, the average time it takes the AIMI-Triage CXR PTX to analyze the study and send notification to the PACS worklist was measured to be 20.3 seconds, a timing performance that is substantially equivalent to the predicate (22.1 seconds). Lastly, device performance was evaluated by dataset/region and scanner spatial resolution as summarized in the tables below.

Thus, the device also performs comparably to the predicate in terms of time savings. The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device.

Conclusions

The AIMI-Triage CXR PTX has the same intended use and very similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not alter the device's intended use and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the device and its predicate raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data further demonstrate that the AIMI-Triage CXR PTX is as safe and effective as the HealthPNX (K190362). Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate.
