AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the AcuityDRe device, which is an upgrade kit for digital x-ray systems. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Accuvue+, K201058), rather than detailing a clinical study with specific acceptance criteria and performance against those criteria in a typical sense of an AI/ML medical device.

The "study" cited here is non-clinical testing, specifically clinical image evaluation performed by a Board Certified Radiologist, and bench testing for physical performance characteristics. It's not a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance, nor a standalone AI performance study.

Here's an attempt to extract and present the information based on the provided text, acknowledging that many requested fields regarding AI/ML device studies are not applicable or detailed in this 510(k) summary for an x-ray hardware upgrade kit.


Device: AcuityDRe (Digital X-ray System Upgrade Kit)

Description of Testing (Non-Clinical and Image Evaluation)

The primary goal of the testing was to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the AcuityDRe system (comprising new digital x-ray receptor panels, software, and generator compatibility) to a legally marketed predicate device (Accuvue+, K201058). This was achieved through:

  • Bench testing for physical performance characteristics of the new digital x-ray panels.
  • Clinical image evaluation by a Board Certified Radiologist to assess image quality.
  • Confirmation of compliance with relevant medical device standards and FDA guidance documents.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this 510(k) is for an X-ray system upgrade kit rather than an AI/ML algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are not framed as typical AI performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, the key "acceptance criteria" are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device in terms of:

  • Same Indications for Use
  • Similar Technological Characteristics (especially panel performance: DQE, MTF, and panel sizes)
  • Compliance with safety and performance standards.
  • "Excellent quality" of clinical images as assessed by an expert.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated numerically for the clinical image evaluation. The text only mentions "Clinical image evaluation was performed on the proposed new panels."
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. It's likely retrospective, as it's an evaluation of images generated by the new panels. Country of origin not mentioned; presumed to be images from typical clinical settings where such panels would be used.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

  • Number of Experts: One.
  • Qualifications: A "Board Certified Radiologist." Further details like years of experience are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable/None, as only a single expert was used for the qualitative assessment of image quality.

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

  • MRMC Study: No. This type of study (AI vs. human-assisted AI) was not performed as the device is an x-ray system upgrade, not an AI diagnostic algorithm.
  • Effect Size of Human Reader Improvement: Not applicable.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

  • Standalone Study: No, as the device itself is a component of an x-ray system, not a standalone AI algorithm. The image quality assessment was of the images produced by the hardware, which would then be interpreted by humans.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Ground Truth Type: Expert Consensus / Qualitative Expert Assessment. The "ground truth" for the image quality was the subjective assessment by the Board Certified Radiologist that the images were "of excellent quality." This is distinct from, for example, pathology-confirmed diagnoses or patient outcomes data.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This device is a hardware component (digital x-ray panels) and associated software, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the context of machine learning model development. The software mentioned (AccuVue/AccuVue+) has received previous clearance for control of generators.

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

  • Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm for this device.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The digital panel software employed was used unmodified from FDA. The software has been validated as a control for CPI and Sedecal diagnostic x-ray generators. Compatible CPI generators: CMP 200 Series. Compatible Sedecal generators: SFHR and SHF Series.

In recognition of possible cybersecurity threats to the software, we consulted this guidance: Content of Premarket Submissions for Manaqement of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff October 2014. As a result, we updated our own internal standard operating procedures and added cybersecurity precautions to the software users' manuals.

In recognition of FDA pediatric concerns, we reviewed the FDA guidance: Pediatric Information for X-ray Imaging Device Premarket Notifications Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff and created labeling to comply with this guidance.

In recognition of FDA's concerns about wireless performance we reviewed the FDA guidance: Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. Both the predicate and subject devices use the same wireless technology, standard Wi-Fi using FCC approved off the shelf components.

Since the three new digital receptor panels have not had previous FDA clearance, testing was performed according to the FDA guidance document: Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. Clinical image evaluation was performed on the proposed new panels by a Board Certified Radiologist. The images were found to be of excellent quality. Performance characteristics are as follows:

DQE @ 1.0 lp/mm: 0.35; MTF @ 2.0 lp/mm: 0.31 AcuityDRe 1417w:

AcuityDRe 1717w: DQE @ 1.0 lp/mm: 0.42; MTF @ 2.0 lp/mm: 0.38

AcuityDRe 1717t: DQE @ 1.0 lp/mm: 0.42; MTF @ 2.0 lp/mm: 0.38

All proposed compatible generators carry NRTL listing labels, having been tested for safety. Validation of proper generator technique control had been previously performed.

Each system is tested for proper integration prior to the customer. Since multiple configurations are available (generator and panel models), our service engineers fully test each new system upon installation at the customer site

  1. Clinical testing. Not required for a determination of substantial equivalence.

7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion.

When combined with a compatible generator/Tubestand combination the AcuityDRe performs the same functions as the predicate using the same technological methods to produce diagnostic x-ray images. In all material aspects, the Accuvue+ and the AcuityDRe systems are substantially equivalent to each other.

8. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

After analyzing bench test results, risk analysis, and clinical evaluation, it is the conclusion of RadmediX LLC that the AcuityDRe series of upgrade kits are as safe and effective as the predicate device, has few technological differences, and has the same indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
