Intended Use

VIVO is intended for acquisition, analysis, display and storage of cardiac electrophysiological data and maps for analysis by a physician.

VIVO is intended to be used as a pre-procedure planning tool for patients with structurally normal hearts undergoing ablation treatment for idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias.

Device Description

The VIVO system is a noninvasive pre-procedure planning tool that provides a 3D mapping of the heart to aid in identifying the origin of cardiac arrhythmias prior to electrophysiology procedures. VIVO requires acquisition of MRI or CT images combined with standard ECG recordings and electrode placement. Electrocardiographic potentials are measured from the torso using standard 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes placed on the surface of the body. A DICOM image (CT or MR scan) of the thorax and heart is acquired and then segmented to provide a patient specific, three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the endocardial and epicardial surfaces of the heart. A 3D photograph of the patient's chest with the precise ECG lead locations and positioning patches that were used to acquire the ECG is merged with the torso and heart model to determine the spatial relationship between them. From these data, the system uses a mathematical algorithm to assimilate the geometrical information and transform the measured body surface signals into epicardial signals by solving the cardiac inverse problem. VIVO software creates, displays, and stores a cardiac activation map that displays the site of earliest activation of ventricular arrhythmias.

The VIVO system includes an off the shelf laptop computer and a handheld 3D camera. The preloaded software takes data from previously acquired cardiac and thoracic images, standard 12-lead ECG recording made during an arrhythmia and 3D picture of the ECG leads and positioning patches. This information, obtained prior to the procedure, can be used during pre-procedure planning by a qualified physician.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text details the 510(k) premarket notification for the VIVO™ Model 9002 system (K200313), which is a pre-procedure planning tool for identifying the origin of cardiac arrhythmias. However, the document does not contain explicit acceptance criteria or detailed results of a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria related to its accuracy in identifying arrhythmia origins.

Instead, the performance data section focuses on verification and validation (V&V) testing to confirm that the VIVO Model 9002 system operates as intended and is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (VIVO Model 9001). The "Performance Data" section primarily describes:

  • System Testing: Verification that the assembled VIVO Model 9002 device met specified requirements, including VIVO software access, laptop PC function, and 3D camera function (with positioning patches).
  • Bench Testing: Confirmation of the system's ability to collect the position of patches and electrodes.
  • User Validation Testing: Evaluation of the usability of the new software workflow and the user's ability to generate a 3D model. This included identifying critical tasks and collecting pass/fail data.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: For positioning patches, conforming to ISO 10993-1.
  • Shelf Life Testing: For positioning patches (one-year shelf life).

The document explicitly states: "Clinical Testing Not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device." This implies that the FDA determined that extensive clinical performance data for arrhythmia localization was not necessary for the 510(k) clearance, likely due to the device's classification and its claimed substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria for device performance (e.g., accuracy in identifying arrhythmia origin), sample sizes for test sets, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, and comparative effectiveness studies are not present in the provided 510(k) summary. The study described is primarily a non-clinical performance study focusing on system functionality, usability, and equivalence to the predicate, rather than a clinical accuracy or comparative effectiveness study for the core diagnostic claim.

Given the limitations of the provided text, I will answer the questions based on the information available and explicitly state when information is not present.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study (Based on Provided Document)

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

As explicitly stated, the performance testing focused on system verification and validation, demonstrating that the device met system requirements, component operation, and performance, and that the usability was acceptable. There are no quantitative acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity for arrhythmia origin localization) provided in this specific document.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implied from text)Reported Device Performance
System FunctionalityDevice meets system requirements; component operation and performance as specified. Access to VIVO software, Laptop PC function, and 3D camera function (with positioning patches) are as intended. Ability to collect the position of patches and electrodes."System performance specifications were successfully verified to meet design outputs at the end of the bench testing." "Bench testing was performed to confirm the ability of the system to collect the position of the patches and electrodes."
Usability / WorkflowNew software workflow is usable; user can successfully generate a 3D model; design mitigates user error to an acceptable level for critical and essential tasks."The user validation testing supporting the accuracy of the user to generate a 3D model by the simplified workflow, and that the design has mitigated user error to an acceptable level." Task performance (pass, fail, close call/serious difficulty) data was collected, with clear pass/fail criteria. (Specific quantitative results not provided).
Biocompatibility of Positioning PatchesConforms to ISO 10993-1."The results demonstrate that the device is biocompatible."
Shelf Life of Positioning PatchesDemonstrates a one-year shelf life."Shelf life testing was performed to demonstrate a one-year shelf life for the positioning patches."
Compliance with Software Standards (IEC 62304)Software verification and integration testing performed in compliance with "FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software in Medical Devices" and AAMI / ANSI / IEC 62304:2006."Performance testing... included product system testing, software verification and integration testing performed in compliance with 'FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software in Medical Devices' and AAMI / ANSI / IEC 62304:2006..."
Substantial Equivalence (Overall Conclusion)Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, device design, fundamental technology, and performance."The VIVO Model 9002 system has the same intended use, fundamental technology, principles of operation and performance as the predicate device." "Performance testing verified that the VIVO system complies with the safety and specifications and performs as designed. Therefore, VIVO is suitable for its intended use."

Note: The document does not provide performance data or acceptance criteria related to accuracy of arrhythmia localization, as this was not a required part of the substantial equivalence determination according to the stated "Clinical Testing Not required" clause.

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated for performance testing. The text refers to "System Testing," "Bench testing," and "User Validation Testing" but does not quantify the number of cases or users involved in these tests.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The testing described appears to be internal verification and validation, possibly synthetic data for bench tests or internal users for usability tests, rather than clinical patient data. The clinical testing was explicitly stated as "Not required."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable as the described "Performance Data" section focuses on system functionality and usability, not diagnostic accuracy requiring expert-established ground truth for a clinical test set. The document states "Clinical Testing Not required".

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable as the described "Performance Data" section focuses on system functionality and usability, not diagnostic accuracy requiring adjudication for a clinical test set.

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

  • No, a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed or submitted for this 510(k). The document explicitly states, "Clinical Testing Not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device." The VIVO system is described as a "pre-procedure planning tool" and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically warrant such a study for this type of clearance.

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

  • The document describes the VIVO system as a "pre-procedure planning tool that provides a 3D mapping of the heart to aid in identifying the origin of cardiac arrhythmias prior to electrophysiology procedures." The "Analysis algorithm is identical to VIVO Model 9001." However, the performance data section focuses on system and software functionality and usability, not the standalone algorithmic accuracy of "identifying the origin of cardiac arrhythmias." While the algorithm is a core component, a specific standalone performance study measuring its diagnostic accuracy (e.g., against some defined ground truth) is not detailed. The clearance relies on substantial equivalence primarily due to the functional and technical similarities to the predicate, and usability enhancements.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For the reported performance testing (system and user validation), the "ground truth" was internal design specifications and defined usability task completion criteria. For the purpose of "identifying the origin of cardiac arrhythmias," the document implies that this is a physician's analysis, and no external ground truth (e.g., confirmed ablation success, invasive mapping, pathology) was used as part of this 510(k)'s "Performance Data."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • The document does not discuss a training set or the development of an AI/machine learning model. While the system uses "mathematical algorithms to assimilate the geometrical information and transform the measured body surface signals into epicardial signals," there is no indication that this involves trainable components requiring a distinct "training set" in the machine learning sense. The "Analysis algorithm is identical to VIVO Model 9001," implying it's a fixed, established algorithm rather than a newly trained one.

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

  • Not applicable, as a training set for an AI/machine learning model is not discussed in the document.

Comparison of Technical Characteristics with Predicate Device

This submission is seeking the clearance of the VIVO Model 9002 system which, like the predicate device the VIVO Model 9001, provides a 3D mapping of the heart to aid in the identification of the general location of the origin of focal cardiac arrhythmias prior to electrophysiology procedures.

The VIVO Model 9002 system has the same intended use, fundamental technology, principles of operation and performance as the predicate device. Where there are minor technological differences, they do not affect procedure, how the device is used, performance, function or safety compared to the predicate. Two changes include a smaller camera and the inclusion of positioning patches. VIVO Model 9002 includes an improved Graphical Use Interface (GUI) workflow during the Anatomy, 3D Image and

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

ECG functions; however, the Analysis algorithm is identical to VIVO Model 9001. The fundamental Analysis algorithm creates, displays and stores a cardiac activation map that identifies the localization of the earliest activation of an arrhythmic heartbeat.

Where there are technological differences, they do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled. Table 1 provides a comparison of the technological characteristics for the VIVO system against the predicate device.
