The provided text describes the Change Healthcare Cardiology™ system, a medical image management and processing system. The submission (K212528) focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (McKesson Cardiology™ K181080) rather than a standalone clinical study evaluating diagnostic performance against specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, several of the requested sections (e.g., specific acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance, details of a study proving those criteria, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies) are not directly addressed in this document.
However, based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted and inferred regarding performance data:
-
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Acceptance Criteria Reported Device Performance Compliance with design specifications "Verification and validation testing was performed on Change Healthcare Cardiology™ to ensure it met all specifications." Usability "usability testing was performed where applicable." Intended Functionality "The device was further validated to ensure that it performs as intended." Compliance with IEC 62304:2015 (Medical software life cycle processes) "Performance testing was conducted to verify compliance with specified design requirements under IEC 62304:2015" Compliance with IEC 62366-1:2015 (Usability engineering for medical devices) "Performance testing was conducted to verify compliance with specified design requirements under... IEC 62366-1:2015" Compliance with ISO 14971:2007 (Medical devices – Application of risk management) "Performance testing was conducted to verify compliance with specified design requirements under... and ISO 14971:2007" Compliance with FDA Guidelines for Cybersecurity and Interoperability "Performance testing was conducted to verify compliance with specified design requirements under... which are FDA Guidelines for Cybersecurity and Interoperability." DICOM Conformance (NEMA 3.1-3.20 (2016) standards) "Furthermore, DICOM conformance testing was performed to verify compliance with NEMA 3.1-3.20 (2016) standards." Substantial Equivalence to predicate device (McKesson Cardiology™ K181080) "In all instances, Change Healthcare Cardiology™ functioned as intended and the observed results demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate devices." "Change Healthcare Cardiology™ has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate device." Absence of new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device "The minor technological differences between Change Healthcare Cardiology™ and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness." -
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not specify a distinct "test set" sample size in the context of diagnostic performance. The validation was primarily technical and functional. No clinical studies were necessary to support substantial equivalence. The document does not provide details on data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for any specific performance testing datasets. -
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not provided. The submission states "No clinical studies were necessary," which implies there wasn't a separate clinical ground truth establishment process involving external experts for diagnostic accuracy. -
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable, as no specific test set requiring expert adjudication for diagnostic ground truth is mentioned. -
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The device is described as an image and information system intended to "assist trained professionals in the viewing and diagnostic interpretation." It does not claim to be an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that augments human reader performance in a measurable way described by an effect size. -
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. The device is an image and information management system, not a standalone diagnostic algorithm. It "is intended to assist trained professionals." -
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the technical and functional validation, the "ground truth" was defined by the specified design requirements, industry standards (IEC, ISO, NEMA), and the intended functionalities the system was designed to fulfill. There is no mention of clinical ground truth (e.g., pathology, outcomes data, expert consensus) being established for diagnostic performance. -
The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. The Change Healthcare Cardiology™ system is described as a software application for image and information management, not a machine learning model that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for the system would involve software development and testing rather than data-driven model training. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for a machine learning model. The ground truth for the software's development and verification would be its design specifications and compliance with relevant standards.
