ImPACT is intended for use as a computer-based neurocognitive test battery to aid in the assessment and management of concussion.
ImPACT is a neurocognitive test battery that provides healthcare professionals with objective measures of neurocognitive functioning as an assessment aid and in the management of concussion in individuals ages 12-80.
ImPACT® (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is a computer-based neurocognitive test battery that allows healthcare professionals to conduct a series of tests on individuals to gather data related to the neurocognitive functioning of the test subject. This test battery measures various aspects of neurocognitive functioning including reaction time, memory, attention, spatial processing speed, and records symptoms of a test subject. ImPACT Version 4 is similar to the paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests that have long been used by psychologists to evaluate cognition, and memory related to a wide variety of disabilities.
The device is not intended to provide a direct diagnosis or a return-to-activity recommendation, it does not directly manage or provide any treatment recommendations, and any interpretation of the results should be made only by qualified healthcare professional. The neurocognitive assessment represents only one aspect of assisting healthcare professionals in evaluating and managing individuals with cognitive function impairment related to TBI (concussion).
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the ImPACT Version 4 device, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The FDA submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ImPACT Version 3.3.0) rather than listing specific, quantitative acceptance criteria for each functional aspect. The document indicates that all software verification and validation tests met the required acceptance criteria, but these criteria are described generally rather than with specific metrics.
However, based on the summary of performance testing and clinical data, the implicit acceptance criteria relate to:
- Software Functionality: The software performs as intended, modifications did not affect existing functionality.
- Safety and Effectiveness: The device modifications do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
- Test-Retest Reliability (for extended age range): Cognitive performance should remain stable over time.
- Construct Validity (for extended age range): ImPACT Version 4 scores should correlate with established neuropsychological tests.
- Normative Database Quality: The normative data should be accurately established for the specified age ranges, differentiating between input device types.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Software functionality met design specifications. | All software verification activities (code reviews, design reviews, walkthroughs, software V&V testing, regression testing) met "required acceptance criteria." Modifications did not affect existing functionality. |
| Device modifications do not affect safety or effectiveness. | "The differences between the two devices... do not affect the safety or effectiveness of ImPACT Version 4 for its intended use and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, which was demonstrated through risk management and performance testing." Risk management concluded all individual risk is acceptable and the new device has "virtually the same safety characteristics... and same risk profile" as the predicate. |
| Test-retest reliability is established (for ages 60-80). | For a subset of 93 individuals (ages 60-80), only a "small percentage" (0-1% for composite scores, 0-2% for factor scores) of scores showed "reliable or 'significant' change" over an average of 16.04 days. This "suggest[s] the cognitive performance of test takers at baseline remained stable over a one-month period." |
| Construct validity correlated with established tests (for ages 60-80). | ImPACT Verbal Memory Composite scores correlated significantly (P<.001) with HVLT and BVMT-R, and SDMT Memory Sub-scales. ImPACT Motor Speed and Reaction Time Composite Scores both correlated with the SDMT Total Correct Subscales. |
| Normative database is established and robust for extended age range (60-80). | A normative database was constructed for ages 60-80 from 554 subjects across 8 sites in the US, meeting specific inclusion/exclusion criteria. |
| Normative database is updated and robust for existing age range (12-59). | A normative database for ages 12-59 was constructed from 71,815 de-identified subjects selected from a larger company database (766,093 records), with separate calculations for mouse and trackpad. Subjects met specific criteria (age, gender, English speaker, input device, no recent concussion, no neurological issues, no ADHD/LD). |
| Device provides reliable measure of cognitive function to aid in assessment. | "The results of these studies demonstrate ImPACT Version 4 provides a reliable measure of cognitive function to aid in assessment and management of concussion and is therefore substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device." (This is a summary statement based on the overall findings, not a specific performance metric.) |
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes several "clinical studies" or investigations which serve as test sets for different aspects (normative data, reliability, validity).
- For the 12-59 age range (normative database update):
- Sample Size: 71,815 subjects.
- Data Provenance: Retrospective, de-identified data from the Company's test database of 766,093 subjects. Subjects were from the United States of America.
- For the 60-80 age range (normative database, test-retest reliability, construct validity):
- Normative Sample Size: 554 subjects (174 males, 380 females).
- Test-retest Reliability Sample Size: 93 individuals (a subset of the normative extension sample, 64.5% females, 35.5% males).
- Construct Validity Sample Size: 71 individuals (ages 60-80, 63.4% females, 36.6% males).
- Data Provenance: Prospective clinical investigation. Data collected from 8 different sites across the United States (universities, hospitals, clinics, private medical practices). Data collection began in 2017 and ended in 2020.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- The document does not explicitly state the number of experts used to establish a "ground truth" for the test set in the sense of adjudicating concussion status for individual subjects within the studies.
- For the construct validity study, the document states: "All measures were administered by Neuropsychologists trained in test administration as part of the study to collect data for normative dataset described above." These Neuropsychologists administered the comparative tests (HVLT, BVMT-R, SDMT) which served as the "ground truth" or reference standard for comparison, but they were not adjudicating the ImPACT scores or concussion status. They were experts in administering and interpreting the comparative neuropsychological tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document does not describe an "adjudication method" in the typical sense (e.g., 2+1 rater adjudication) for determining ground truth of concussion or for evaluating the ImPACT scores.
- Instead, the studies used established clinical methods:
- For the normative database, subjects were selected based on self-reported criteria (no recent concussion, no neurological issues, no ADHD/LD diagnosis) and, for the 60-80 age range, MMSE scores (>24).
- For construct validity, the reference standards were scores from other validated neuropsychological tests administered by trained neuropsychologists.
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, the document does not describe a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study evaluating how human readers (healthcare professionals) improve with ImPACT Version 4 assistance versus without it.
- ImPACT is presented as an "aid" in assessment and management, providing objective measures, but the study design did not assess the human reader's diagnostic performance with and without the device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Yes, the performance testing described for ImPACT Version 4 is in a standalone capacity. The device itself (the neurocognitive test battery) collects and processes data, and its outputs (scores, validity indicators) are what were evaluated for reliability and validity against other tests or over time. The "performance" being assessed is that of the computerized test generating consistent and correlated results, not a human using the device to make a decision.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the normative database: The "ground truth" for subject inclusion was based on self-reported health status (no recent concussion, no neurological issues, no ADHD/LD) and, for the older age group, a basic cognitive screen (MMSE score > 24). The purpose was to establish norms for a healthy population.
- For test-retest reliability: The "ground truth" was the expectation that cognitive performance in a stable individual should not significantly change over a short period.
- For construct validity: The "ground truth" was established by scores from other widely utilized and previously validated traditional neuropsychological tests (HVLT, BVMT-R, SDMT).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning model development. ImPACT is described as a "computer-based neurocognitive test battery" and its modifications primarily involve updating the normative database and output scores, not training a new predictive algorithm.
- The "normative database" could be considered analogous to a reference dataset that the device's scoring relies upon.
- For ages 12-59: The normative database was constructed from 71,815 subjects.
- For ages 60-80: The normative database was constructed from 554 subjects.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As mentioned above, there isn't a "training set" for a machine learning model described.
- For the normative databases, which serve as the reference for interpreting individual test results, the "ground truth" for inclusion was:
- For 12-59 age range: De-identified data selected from a large company database. Subjects had to meet criteria such as no concussion in the past 6 months, no other neurological issues, no ADHD/LD diagnosis. These were self-reported or existing medical history.
- For 60-80 age range: Prospective data collection where subjects met strict inclusion criteria: ages 60-80, primary English speaking, not in a skilled nursing facility, not suffering from/being treated for a concussion, no known impairing physical/neurological/behavioral/psychological conditions, corrected hearing/vision within normal limits, and a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 24 or greater. This was established through screening and clinical assessment at 8 different sites.

{4}------------------------------------------------
Device Modifications:
The new device, ImPACT Version 4, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (ImPACT Version 3.3.0) cleared under K181223. Both devices have intended use as a computerized neurocognitive test to aid in the assessment and management of concussion. They are also identical in terms of technological characteristics as both are stand-alone software applications using a general-purpose computing platform to electronically record objective performance measurements (speed and accuracy) as the test taker responds to stimuli presented on the screen via input devices. Further, there are no changes to the functionality or to the design of the neurocognitive test battery; all tasks, stimuli, and captured information remain identical to the predicate device.
There are no changes to the intended use, use environment characteristics, or the conditions assessed.
The differences between the new device and the predicate include:
-
- applicable age range for the test has been extended to 80 years (the new age range is 12-80);
- normative database has been updated on a new sample and separate normative calculations were 2. provided for mouse and trackpad;
- changes to device output: 3.
- O addition of a new output score called Two-Factor Score to assist with the interpretation of results;
- modification to the Invalidity Indicator calculations based on the new normative data set; and o
- removal of the CEI (cognitive efficiency index); O
-
- minor software modifications to improve maintainability, cybersecurity and enhance user experience.

Summary of Performance Testing:
Software Verification and Validation.
lmPACT Version 4 software was developed, validated, and documented in accordance with IEC 62304 and FDA Guidance "General Principles of Software Validation." Software verification activities including code reviews, design reviews, evaluations, analyses, traceability assessment, and manual testing were performed in accordance with standards and guidance documents to demonstrate device performance and functionality. All tests met the required acceptance criteria:
- Code reviews: peer review of all modified code performed by software developers. ●
- . Walkthroughs and design reviews of mock-ups and prototypes by a cross-functional team including Developers, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs function, Clinical experts, Company Management, and other stakeholders.
- . Software Verification and Validation testing including automated and manual testing.
- . Regression Testing: Comprehensive end testing of the test battery to verify that the modifications did not affect the existing functionality.
Risk Management:
Risk Management activities were conducted in accordance on ISO 14971 assure that all risk related to use of computerized neurocognitive test, including use related risks and cybersecurity risks, are appropriately controlled. All control measures were verified and found to be effective. All individual risk is acceptable. The new device has virtually the same safety characteristics as the Predicate Device and same risk profile.
Clinical Data:
The 510(k) included the results of clinical studies that examined the validity of ImPACT Version 4 by documenting correlations with traditional neuropsychological tests. Clinical data was also collected to examine test-retest reliability and to construct a normative database.
The results of these studies demonstrate ImPACT Version 4 provides a reliable measure of cognitive function to

aid in assessment and management of concussion and is therefore substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device.
For the construction of the normative database for the 12-59 age range, de-identified data of 71,815 subjects were selected from Company test database of 766,093. Subjects were selected based on age, gender, type of input device they used to complete the test (i.e., computer mouse versus trackpad), spoke English as a primary language, completed a baseline test in English, and were from the United States of America. Further, in order to ensure subjects were not experiencing post-concussion symptoms or chronic effects of neurological disorders, all subjects reported as not having sustained a concussion in the 6 months prior to testing and had no other neurological issues that would affect performance (e.g., history of epilepsy, meningitis, brain surgery or other neurological disease). In addition, all subjects had no reported diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or Learning Disorder.
For the new age population, ages 60-80, a clinical investigation was conducted to collect data to: (i) standardize the test and construct the normative database for the new age range; (ii) demonstrate test-reliability; and (iii) establish Construct Validity.
-
. Standardization and Normative sample
The normative sample age 60-80 (554, 174 males, 380 females) was collected from 8 different sites across the United States, including universities, hospitals and clinics, and private medical practices. Data collection began in 2017 and ended in 2020. All sites were IRB approved with oversight from Advarra IRB services. All subjects had to meet the following inclusion criteria to be eligible: (i) age: 60-80; (ii) primary English speaking or fluent in English; (iii) not a resident in a skilled nursing facility; (iv) not suffering from a concussion or being treated for a concussion; (v) no known physical, neurological, behavioral or psychological impairment that would affect their ability to perform the test; (vi) hearing or vision impairments that have been corrected within normal limits; (vii) a score of 24 or greater on the Mini-Metal State Examination (MMSE); and (viii) a signed IRB approved consent form. -
. Test-retest Reliability
A subset of participants from the normative extension sample described above, ages 60-80 (mean age of 68.18, SD=5.1 years), completed two ImPACT assessments across an average range of 30 days (mean=16.04 days, S.D. = 8.65 days). The sample consisted of a total of 93 individuals (64.5% females, 35.5% males). Using Reliable Change Indices (RCIs), only a small percentage of participants' scores showed reliable or "significant" change on the composite scores (0%-1%), or factor scores (0%-2%). These results suggest the cognitive performance of test takers at baseline remained stable over a one-month period. -
. Construct Validity
To determine whether ImPACT Version 4 correlates significantly with a widely utilized and previously validated instrument of Memory and Motor Speed, select subtests of the HVLT, BVMT-R, SDMT, and ImPACT were administered within the same session. The sample was composed of 71 individuals between the ages of 60 and 80 (mean age of 67.27 years, S.D. 4.92 years) and 63.4% females and 36.6% males. All measures were administered by Neuropsychologists trained in test administration as part of the study to collect data for normative dataset described above. ImPACT Verbal Memory Composite scores correlate with both the HVLT and BVMT-R, as well as the SDMT Memory Sub-scales (significant at P<.001) which represent measures of verbal and visual memory. ImPACT Motor Speed and Reaction Time Composite Scores both correlate with the SDMT Total Correct Subscales, which represents a measure of psychomotor coding speed.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The differences between the two devices described above do not affect the safety or effectiveness of ImPACT Version 4 for its intended use and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, which was demonstrated through risk management and performance testing including software verification and validation, clinical investigations and non-clinical analytical assessments. Therefore, ImPACT Version 4 is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device.
