Device Description

The AngioCloud Service is a standalone web-application which intends to receive a 3D rotational angiography (3D-RA) DICOM dataset and provide interactive views to physicians for the visualization and measurement of cerebral vasculatures during preoperational planning. Physicians can query a 3D-RA dataset directly via the AngioCloud Service provided that they have an internet browser with access to the internet. General functionalities are provided such as:

  • Segmentation of neurovascular structures ●
  • . Centerline calculation
  • Visualization of 3D vascular images
  • . Measurement and annotation tools
  • Case sharing and reporting tools

The AngioCloud Service runs as a web application on a standard Windows or Mac OS X based computer and can also be accessed on mobile web browsers, but with limited software functionalities enabled. The AngioCloud Service does not use any artificial intelligence or machine learning functionality and the main segmentation algorithm is based on level-set methods. The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Vascular Model Toolkit (VMTK) serve as important software libraries that the underlying algorithm of AngioCloud Service leverages for a number of computational operations such as 3D segmentation, geometric analysis, mesh generation, and surface data analysis for image-based modeling of blood vessels. The device does not contact the patient nor does it control any life-sustaining devices. Information provided by the AngioCloud Service is not intended in any way to eliminate, replace, or substitute for, in whole or in part, the healthcare provider's judgment and analysis of the patient's condition.

AI/ML Overview

The AngioCloud Service is a web application designed for the visualization and measurement of cerebral blood vessels for preoperational planning and sizing for neurovascular interventions and surgery. It includes functionalities such as segmentation of neurovascular structures, centerline calculation, visualization of 3D vascular images, measurement and annotation tools, and case sharing and reporting tools. The device does not use artificial intelligence or machine learning. The following describes the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The performance testing was conducted primarily to evaluate the AngioCloud Service's segmentation module. The acceptance criteria were based on two metrics: Hausdorff Distance (dH) and Dice Coefficient (DC). These metrics were used to compare the segmentations performed by the AngioCloud Service against a reference standard. While specific numeric acceptance thresholds for dH and DC are not provided in the document, the conclusion states that "Both the mean DC and mean dH for each group met the acceptance criteria."

Study Details

  1. Sample Size and Data Provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: The document states that "Anatomically relevant phantom models derived from clinical scans were acquired using Siemens (Artis Q with PURE) and Phillips (Allura Xper FD 20/20) Angio suites." The exact number of phantom models or clinical scans used to derive them is not specified.
    • Data Provenance: The data used for the test set were "phantom models derived from clinical scans" acquired using Siemens and Phillips Angio suites. The country of origin and whether the data was retrospective or prospective are not explicitly stated. However, the use of "phantom models" implies a controlled, non-patient-specific testing environment, likely based on retrospective clinical data used for model creation.
  2. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:

    • The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set or their qualifications.
  3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • The document does not specify any adjudication method used for the test set.
  4. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The device does not utilize AI/ML, and the testing focused on the performance of its segmentation module against a reference standard, not on human reader improvement with AI assistance.
  5. Standalone Performance:

    • Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted for the segmentation module. The Hausdorff distance (dH) and DICE coefficient (DC) were used to evaluate the algorithm's segmentation performance against a reference standard. The study assesses the device's inherent functionality without human-in-the-loop performance being a primary measure. Human interaction is for adjusting the segmentation threshold ("manual adjust the segmentation threshold" or "Auto" option), but the core performance evaluation metrics (dH, DC) are for the algorithm's output relative to the ground truth.
  6. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • The ground truth for the segmentation performance evaluation was based on a "reference standard" from "anatomically relevant phantom models derived from clinical scans." This implies a highly accurate or 'gold standard' segmentation for these phantom models, likely established through precise measurements or expert consensus on the phantom data, rather than direct pathology or outcomes data from live patients.
  7. Training Set Sample Size:

    • The document states that the AngioCloud Service "does not use any artificial intelligence or machine learning functionality." Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning model development. The segmentation algorithm is based on "level-set methods" and leverages "The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Vascular Model Toolkit (VMTK)."
  8. Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set:

    • As there is no AI/ML component, there is no "training set" with ground truth established in the machine learning sense. The underlying algorithms (level-set methods, VTK, VMTK) are established scientific and engineering tools, not trained models requiring annotated ground truth data for learning.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The subject device has the same intended use and similar indications for use and technological characteristics (e.g. software for visualization and measurement of cerebral blood vessels for

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

preoperative planning) to the predicate device (K171534). The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices are explained below. AngioCloud does not believe that these differences raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

  • In the predicate device, the input data is a DICOM dataset from all CT scanner vendors, whereas . the subject device only accepts volumetric DICOM data acquired by 3D-RA scanners from the Phillips and Siemens X-ray systems. These technological characteristics have undergone testing to ensure the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
  • In the predicate device, the patient-specific anatomical models that are output by the ● SurgicalPreview™ software are generated by operators who are in-house EndoVantage employees and allow the end-user clinician to review and comment, whereas the subject device generates anatomical models by the Segmentation Engine. The end-user clinician of the subject device can manually adjust the segmentation threshold or choose an 'Auto' option where an estimated segmentation threshold is adopted for segmentation. These technological characteristics have undergone testing to ensure the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
  • The predicate device is not indicated for use on a mobile platform whereas the AngioCloud Service ● is compatible with and can be accessed through a mobile device web browser. Mobile platform access allows for the visualization and sharing of 3D vascular images through the 3D Viewer and for quick ruler and centerline measurements. All other functionalities of the AngioCloud Service are disabled during use on a mobile web browser. This technological characteristic has undergone testing and has been considered as part of the risk assessment to ensure the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
  • The predicate device is not indicated for case sharing, whereas the AngioCloud Service allows for de-identified cases to be shared between authorized users. Case sharing features have been evaluated through the risk assessment and software verification testing to ensure that this technological characteristic is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

The predicate device has the following additional functionalities which AngioCloud Service does not offer:

  • Volume measurements (e.g. aneurysmal volume)
  • . Line measurements on aneurysm (e.g. aneurysmal neck width and dome height)
  • Import patient data via study creation list ●
  • 2D cross-sectional slice review of vessel (e.g. diameter measurement tool) ●
  • Deployment video tool
  • Deployment simulation report .

AngioCloud believes that the AngioCloud Service's indications for use and technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device (K171534) based on the information summarized in Table 1 - Substantial Equivalence Summary.

Performance Data

AngioCloud Service is designed in conformance with the following FDA recognized consensus standards:

  • NEMA PS 3.1 3.20 (2016) Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set ●
  • ISO 14971:2019 Medical Devices Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices ●
  • IEC 62304:2006/AMD 1:2015 - Medical Device Software - Software Life-Cycle Processes
  • ISO/IEC 10918-1 First Edition 1994-02-15 Information technology Digital compression and ● coding of continuous-tone still images: Requirements and guidelines
  • . ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62366-1:2015 Medical devices - Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices

All specifications of the AngioCloud Service are verified by a number of tests before release. Nonclinical testing, including verification tests, evaluated:

  • DICOM images importation ●
  • Case management ●
  • Auto-segmentation and manual segmentation ●

{8}------------------------------------------------

  • Visualization of 3D vascular images (on desktop and mobile platforms)
  • Centerline calculation (on desktop and mobile platforms)
  • Measurements and annotation tool (on desktop and mobile platforms) ●
  • Case sharing and reporting tool .

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. The AngioCloud Service is considered a "moderate" level of concern, since malfunction of the software could cause a delay in generating information for preoperative planning.

Performance testing was conducted to evaluate the AngioCloud Service segmentation module and the device met the pre-defined acceptance criteria for each performance evaluation metric. Anatomically relevant phantom models derived from clinical scans were acquired using Siemens (Artis Q with PURE) and Phillips (Allura Xper FD 20/20) Angio suites. The scans were segmented using AngioCloud Service's 'Automatic' and 'Advanced' segmentation methods and these segmentations were compared to the reference standard. The Hausdorff distance (dH) and DICE coefficient (DC) were used to evaluate segmentation performance. Both the mean DC and mean dH for each group met the acceptance criteria.

AngioCloud believes that the aforementioned non-clinical testing demonstrates that the AngioCloud Service is designed in such a way that, when used in accordance with its indications for use and labeling, the safety and effectiveness, as well as the performance characteristics of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

AngioCloud Service has the same intended use and performance characteristics as the predicate device. Based on the performance data and software verification testing, it can be concluded that the differences in technological characteristics between the AngioCloud Service and the predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the AngioCloud Service are assessed to be substantially equivalent to those of the predicate device.
