Intended Use

Cordiana Dx16 is a web-based software system used for reference and diagnostic viewing, manual editing and printing of cardiopulmonary records, consisting of measurements, text and digitized waveforms, with associated reports and documents. Users do not need to download or install any additional software or plug-ins to use the zero-footprint browser client.

Cordiana Dx16 provides authenticated users the ability to search for, list, display, edit and confirm cardiopulmonary studies through the use of reviewing, onscreen measuring and editing tools. Cordiana Dx16 is intended for use by healthcare professionals, including (but not limited to) physicians, nurses and medical technicians, trained on the use of the software.

Cordiana Dx16 is intended to be used in hospitals or facilities providing patient care, where cardiopulmonary studies are stored in a remote storage system, such as a Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS), with which records, reports and documents can be queried, retrieved and stored using DICOM or similar interface standards.

Cordiana Dx16 does not provide storage of records or associated reports and documents, does not modify the original record and waveform information, and is not intended for real-time monitoring.

Indications for use of Cordiana Dx16 are quantification and reporting of cardiopulmonary function of patients (adults and children of any age from birth upwards) with suspected disease to support the physicians in the diagnosis.

Cordiana Dx16 does not provide automated determination of fiducial points, interpretative statements, or patient diagnosis.

Device Description

Cordiana Dx16 is a web-based software system used for reference and diagnostic viewing, manual editing and printing of cardiopulmonary studies from various cardio-pulmonary device manufacturers.

The studies are stored in open standardized formats in a remote storage system, such as a Picture and Communication System (PACS) or a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA). Cordiana Dx16 does not provide own storage of records or associated reports and does not modify records or the original waveform information stored on the remote storage system.

Authenticated users can use Cordiana Dx16 to search for, list, display, edit and confirm cardiopulmonary studies through the use of reviewing, onscreen measuring and editing tools.

The system consists of two logical parts which are installed, configured and maintained as one:

  • A web server, which is installed centrally in a hospital's IT infrastructure. The Gateway serves as a stateless server to the browser clients. It also serves as a client to the remote storage system, such as the PACS/VNA, with which records, reports and documents are queried, retrieved and stored using the DICOM standard.
  • Zero-footprint browser clients, which are loaded and updated on demand as single-page applications into an HTML5 enabled web-browser. Users do not need to download or install any additional software or plugins to use the clients.

Cordiana Dx16, when used as intended with a remote storage system, acts as a traditional cardiopulmonary data management system, such as an ECG Management System.

The clients can optionally be integrated ("embedded") as-is with an external application which provides authentication and workflow support. When authentication is done in the external application, the externally authenticated user's credentials are passed to Cordiana Dx16 using Single Sign-On Authentication. When the external application provides workflow support, the search screens are bypassed, and the user is brought directly to a requested study.

Cordiana Dx16 does not store studies or patient related information in the browser clients, does not directly communicate with cardiographs or other acquisition devices, and does not use any automatic electronic data processing and pattern recognition methods to quantify measurements (e.g. intervals and amplitudes) or provide diagnostic statements.

Cordiana Dx16 functions as a non-real-time system and is not intended for real-time monitoring.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Cordiana Dx16, a web-based software system for viewing, editing, and printing cardiopulmonary records. However, the document does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, tabulated device performance data, sample sizes for test or training sets, details on expert ground truth establishment, or any Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (MUSE Cardiology Information System K152993) by comparing functional and technical characteristics, and by stating that non-clinical testing was performed.

Here's an analysis based on the available information, with missing sections noted:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This information is not provided in the document. The document states that "Non-clinical testing performed included software verification... to ensure that Cordiana Dx16 meets design specifications and requirements. Unit and system level testing included assurance of interoperability with representative remote systems and accuracy of displayed waveforms and related information in a simulated user test environment." It also mentions "Bench testing performed verified the Cordiana Dx16 display and measurement capabilities using sample cases based on technical characteristics and relevancy to the intended function of the Cordiana Dx16 application." However, the specific acceptance criteria and the quantitative results (e.g., accuracy percentages, error rates, or specific values for measurement consistency) are not detailed.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The text mentions "sample cases" for bench testing but does not specify the number of cases or their origin (e.g., retrospective/prospective, country of origin).

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

This information is not provided in the document. The device is a "Programmable Diagnostic Computer" for reviewing and editing cardiopulmonary records. While human experts would typically be involved in establishing ground truth for such data, the document does not mention the use of experts for the test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document. Given the absence of details on expert involvement, no adjudication method is described.

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 was not mentioned in the document, and it seems unlikely given the nature of the device. The Cordiana Dx16 is described as a system for viewing, editing, and managing cardiopulmonary records, not as a device that provides automated diagnostic interpretations or AI assistance for human readers in the sense of improving their diagnostic performance (e.g., by detecting abnormalities). It explicitly states: "Cordiana Dx16 does not provide automated determination of fiducial points, interpretative statements, or patient diagnosis." and "Cordiana Dx16 does not use any automatic electronic data processing and pattern recognition methods to quantify measurements (e.g. intervals and amplitudes) or provide diagnostic statements." Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance for human readers would not be applicable to this device's stated functionality.

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

A standalone performance study for an algorithm is not applicable in the context of this device. As mentioned above, the device does not employ "automatic electronic data processing and pattern recognition methods to quantify measurements... or provide diagnostic statements." It is a web-based system for manual review and editing by healthcare professionals.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used for performance testing, beyond verifying "accuracy of displayed waveforms and related information" and "display and measurement capabilities using sample cases." Given its function as a viewing and editing system, the ground truth would likely refer to the fidelity of the displayed data compared to the original source, and the accuracy of manual measurement tools. This would typically be based on established standards for waveform display and measurement.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not provided in the document. The device is not described as using machine learning or AI that would typically require a training set.

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

This information is not provided in the document. As the device does not appear to be an AI/ML product requiring a training set, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not relevant here.


Summary of what the document does provide regarding "proof" of meeting criteria:

The "proof" provided for the Cordiana Dx16 predominantly relies on:

  • Substantial Equivalence to a Predicate Device: The majority of the "Performance Testing" and "Substantial Equivalence Discussion" sections are dedicated to comparing Cordiana Dx16 to the MUSE Cardiology Information System (K152993) and arguing that any differences (like data storage method) do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
  • Compliance with Standards: The manufacturer states that the device's development conformed to various recognized consensus standards (e.g., IEC 62304 for software lifecycle processes, IEC 62366-1 for usability engineering, ISO 14971 for risk management, NEMA PS 3.1 – 3.20 for DICOM, and IEC 60601-2-25 for electrocardiographs).
  • Non-Clinical Testing: The document briefly mentions "software verification" to meet design specifications, "unit and system level testing" for interoperability and accuracy of displayed information, and "bench testing" to verify display and measurement capabilities. It concludes that "In all instances, the Cordiana Dx16 functioned as intended by the design requirements and the observed results demonstrated substantial equivalence with the predicate device." However, no specific data or metrics from these tests are quantifiable in the document.

Device Description and Function

Cordiana Dx16 is a web-based software system used for reference and diagnostic viewing, manual editing and printing of cardiopulmonary studies from various cardio-pulmonary device manufacturers.

The circular design appears to be three interlocking rings of blue and green.

With the exception of own storage of records or associated reports and documents, further discussed below, the Predicate Device Comparison demonstrates that Cordiana Dx16's indications and intended use, functionality, and technological characteristics are the same or significantly similar to the predicate device, and especially its web client (marketed as "MUSE™ NX").

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The predicate device provides its own storage of records in a central server, with which its Workstations and Web Clients communicate over a network using a non-disclosed proprietary protocol. Cordiana Dx16 relies on storage of records in a remote storage system, with which it communicates over a network using the open and standardized DICOM protocol.

Reliance on the DICOM standard for network communication with and storage of records in remote storage systems, such as Picture Archive and Communication Systems (PACS), is well defined, mature, and in wide use for a great number of different medical devices for acquisition and post processing in medical imaging. The DICOM standard furthermore includes comprehensive provisions for network communication and storage of records (including discrete measurements, text and digitized waveforms), reports and documents for cardiopulmonary diagnostics.

The demonstrated difference between Cordiana Dx16 and the predicate device is therefore neither critical to its intended use, nor does it raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, compared with the predicate device's proprietary network communication and own storage of records, when used as labeled.

Performance Testing

Non-clinical testing performed included software verification, in compliance with IEC 62304 and IEC 62366-1, to ensure that Cordiana Dx16 meets design specifications and requirements. Unit and system level testing included assurance of interoperability with representative remote systems and accuracy of displayed waveforms and related information in a simulated user test environment.

Bench testing performed verified the Cordiana Dx16 display and measurement capabilities using sample cases based on technical characteristics and relevancy to the intended function of the Cordiana Dx16 application. In particular, the testing was performed to ensure user readability and quality on different supported browsers.

In all instances, the Cordiana Dx16 functioned as intended by the design requirements and the observed results demonstrated substantial equivalence with the predicate device.

The logo consists of a circular graphic on the left, made up of three intertwined bands of color: blue, dark blue, and green. To the right of the graphic is the word "cordiana" in gray, with the words "medical informatics" in a smaller font size below it.

Performance Standards

There are no applicable FDA mandated performance standards for this device. However, Cordiana Medical Informatics AG's in-house standard operating procedures were used for the development of the software; these procedures conform to the following FDA recognized consensus standards:

  • ISO 14971:2007 Medical devices — Application of risk management to medical devices
  • IEC 62366-1:2015 Medical devices Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices
  • IEC 62304:2006 Medical device software — Software life cycle processes, as amended by IEC 62304:2006/AMD 1:2015 Medical device software ife cycle processes — Amendment 1

Querying, retrieving and storing records, reports and documents in a remote storage system comply with applicable provisions of the FDA recognized consensus standard:

  • NEMA PS 3.1 – 3.20 (2016): Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
    Furthermore, Cordiana Dx16's requirements and design specifications were defined to comply with the applicable ECG Report and Filter requirements of the FDA recognized consensus standard:

  • IEC 60601-2-25:2011 Medical electrical equipment — Part 2-25: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electrocardiographs.

Conclusion

As a result of the product's technical characteristics, performance testing activities, and standards compliance, Cordiana Medical Informatics AG considers Cordiana Dx16 to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
