LiverSmart is indicated to:
For Liver Iron Concentration
-
measure liver iron concentration in individuals with confirmed or suspected systemic iron overload;
-
monitor liver iron burden in transfusion dependents and patients with sickle cell disease receiving blood transfusions:
-
aid in the identification and monitoring of non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients receiving therapy with Deferasirox.
For Liver Fat Assessment
- assess the volumetric liver fat fraction, proton density fat fraction and steatosis grade in individuals with confirmed or suspected fatty liver disease.
When interpreted by a trained physician, the results can be used to:
-
monitor liver fat content in patients undergoing weight loss management;
-
aid in the assessment and screening of living donors for liver transplant.
LiverSmart is software that utilizes two existing FDA cleared devices, HepaFat-AI (K201039) and FerriSmart (K182218) and combines their respective results into a singular consolidated multiparametric 'LiverSmart' report.
LiverSmart automatically sorts and sends magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets to each of the existing HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices and then receives results from those devices to generate a summary report which combines the HepaFat-AI results (an estimate of the patient's volumetric liver fat fraction (VLFF), proton density fat fraction (PDFF), steatosis grade), and the FerriSmat result (an estimate of the patient's liver iron concentration (LIC)).
To conduct analysis, the user simply uploads a single zipped folder containing HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart DICOM images, acquired in accordance with their respective acquisition protocols, to the LiverSmart software. No user input is required for the analysis thereby minimising the impact of human error. The LiverSmart software requires image input data that has been acquired in accordance with the existing and now well established HepaFat-AI (K201039) and FerriSmart (K182218) imaging protocols.
LiverSmart has two new components that are in addition to the existing components of HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart, namely a:
- (i) Data Preparation Module; and
- (ii) Report Generation Module
The rest of the components for LiverSmart are the existing components of the FDA cleared HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices, as follows:
For HepaFat-AI:
- (i) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocol
- (ii) HepaFat-AI Analysis Software
- (iii) Volumetric Liver Fat Fraction Measurement
- (iv) Proton Density Fat Fraction Measurement
- (v) Steatosis Grade Measurement
For FerriSmart:
- (i) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocol
- (ii) FerriSmart Analysis Software
- (iii) Liver Iron Concentration Measurement
The above HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart components are the same as previously provided to the FDA as the time HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart regulatory clearances were sought (and subsequently obtained).
The provided document, K213776, describes the LiverSmart device, which combines the functionalities of two previously cleared devices, FerriSmart (K182218) and HepaFat-AI (K201039). The core claim is that LiverSmart is substantially equivalent to these predicates, not that it offers improved performance beyond what they individually provide. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to demonstrating that LiverSmart accurately integrates the functions of its predicates and produces identical results from the same input data, as opposed to proving novel clinical performance.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for LiverSmart are implicitly derived from the established performance of its predicate devices, FerriSmart and HepaFat-AI, and the requirement for LiverSmart to accurately integrate and reproduce their results.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (Implicitly from document) | Reported Device Performance and Evidence (from document) |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Equivalence | Detect anomalies in sequence acquisition and report accurate error messages. | "Verification testing confirms that the data preparation module of LiverSmart detects anomalies in the sequence acquisition and reports the accurate error message. If an error is detected LiverSmart prevents further analysis." |
| Result Concordance | Yield identical results for VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade, and LIC when compared to independent analysis by HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart. | "Additionally, LiverSmart yields identical results for VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade, and LIC, when the same image datasets are analysed by HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices independently." |
| Safety and Effectiveness | Maintain the safety and effectiveness profile established by the predicate devices. | "LiverSmart is based upon the same technologies, operating principle, and software technology as the two predicate devices. Risk activities were conducted in concurrence with established medical device development standards and guidance." and "Resonance Health believes that enough evidence has been presented in this dossier to conclude that LiverSmart is safe, effective and performs as well as two the predicates." |
| Quality Systems | Designed and manufactured under Quality System Regulations (21 CFR § 820 and ISO 13485 Standards). | "LiverSmart is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820 and ISO 13485 Standards." |
| Harmonization | Conformity with design controls; test methods are the same as those documented in previously cleared submissions of predicates. | "A statement of conformity with design controls is included in this submission." and "The test methods used are the same as those documented in the previously cleared submissions of the predicate devices, FerriSmart (K182218) and HepaFat-AI (201039)." |
Study Proving Acceptance Criteria (Verification Testing)
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document states "Verification testing confirms that the data preparation module of LiverSmart detects anomalies..." and "Additionally, LiverSmart yields identical results...when the same image datasets are analysed by HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices independently."
- Sample Size: The exact sample size used for this verification testing (test set) is not explicitly stated in the provided text.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It only mentions using "the same image datasets" as analyzed by the predicate devices.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications of those experts:
- This question is not applicable in the traditional sense for this specific 510(k) submission. The
LiverSmartdevice is an integration of two already cleared devices. The "ground truth" for the individual measurements (LIC, VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade) would have been established during the original clearance processes forFerriSmartandHepaFat-AI, likely through comparison with biopsy or other approved methods. - For
LiverSmart, the verification testing focuses on the concordance of results betweenLiverSmartand its predicates, not on establishing new clinical ground truth for the measurements themselves. Therefore, no new "experts" are noted as establishing ground truth for theLiverSmarttest set in this document. The "trained physician" mentioned in the Indications for Use is for interpretation, not for establishing algorithmic ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- The document does not specify any adjudication method for the verification testing. The primary "adjudication" is the direct comparison of
LiverSmart's output to the output ofFerriSmartandHepaFat-AIon the same datasets, aiming for "identical results."
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done:
- An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted for
LiverSmartas described in this document.LiverSmartis presented as an integration of existing cleared devices, not an improvement or replacement necessitating a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers' diagnostic performance. The document focuses on the algorithmic output matching previously cleared algorithms.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, the verification testing described for
LiverSmartis a standalone (algorithm only) performance assessment. The text statesLiverSmart"automatically sorts and sends...receives results...to generate a summary report" and "No user input is required for the analysis thereby minimising the impact of human error." The verification confirms thatLiverSmart's algorithmic output is identical to that of its predicate algorithms on the same input.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- For the verification of
LiverSmart, the "ground truth" is effectively the results produced by the FDA-cleared predicate devices (FerriSmartandHepaFat-AI) when processing the same image datasets. The goal was to demonstrate "identical results." - The original ground truth methodologies (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) for the measurements themselves (LIC, VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade) would have been established and reviewed during the original 510(k) clearances for
FerriSmartandHepaFat-AI, but are not detailed here forLiverSmart.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- The document states that
LiverSmartutilizes the "existing components of the FDA cleared HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices." It further notes that "The above HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart components are the same as previously provided to the FDA at the time HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart regulatory clearances were sought (and subsequently obtained)." - Therefore, the training sets (and their sizes) for the underlying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) would pertain to the development of
FerriSmartandHepaFat-AI. The sample size for these training sets is not provided in this document (K213776).
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Similar to point 8, the ground truth for the training sets would have been established during the development and clearance of
FerriSmartandHepaFat-AI. - The document mentions "Convolutional neural networks for the image analysis" for both
LiverSmartand its predicates, implying that these models were trained. However, this document (K213776) does not detail how the ground truth for the training sets of the predicate devices was established. This information would be found in the original 510(k) submissions forFerriSmart(K182218) andHepaFat-AI(K201039).

SUMMARY OF CHANGE(S)
LiverSmart consists of two additional modules, over and above the FerriSmart and HepaFat-AI modules;
- (i) the Data Preparation Module, and
- (ii) the Report Generation Module.
PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
No change from the predicates, FerriSmart (K182218) and HepaFat-AI (K201039).
SUMMARY OF DESIGN CONTROL ACTIVITIES
Hazard analysis has been performed and documented. Hazard analysis is included in this submission. The test methods used are the same as those documented in the previously cleared submissions of the predicate devices, FerriSmart (K182218) and HepaFat-AI (201039). A statement of conformity with design controls is included in this submission.
SAFETY
LiverSmart is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820 and ISO 13485 Standards. LiverSmart is based upon the same technologies, operating principle, and software technology as the two predicate devices. Risk activities were conducted in concurrence with established medical device development standards and guidance.
TESTING
Risk analy sis and verification testing conducted are documented and included in this submission, which demonstrate that the performance requirements have been met.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Verification testing confirms that the data preparation module of LiverSmart detects anomalies in the sequence acquisition and reports the accurate error message. If an error is detected LiverSmart prevents further analysis. Additionally, LiverSmart yields identical results for VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade, and LIC, when the same image datasets are analysed by HepaFat-AI and FerriSmart devices independently.
CONCLUSION
The special 510(k) premarket notification for LiverSmart contains adequate information and data to enable the FDA-CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Resonance Health believes that enough evidence has been presented in this dossier to conclude that LiverSmart is safe, effective and performs as well as two the predicates.
§ 892.1001 Liver iron concentration imaging companion diagnostic for deferasirox.
(a)
Identification. The liver iron concentration imaging companion diagnostic for deferasirox is an image processing device intended to aid in the identification and monitoring of non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients receiving therapy with deferasirox. The device calculates a numeric value for liver iron concentration based on magnetic resonance images acquired under controlled conditions. The calculated numeric value is used to assess the need for deferasirox treatment and for monitoring treatment in patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia. The liver iron concentration imaging companion diagnostic for deferasirox is essential to the safe and effective use of deferasirox in patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Design verification and validation must include nonclinical and clinical performance testing demonstrating the bias, precision, repeatability, and reproducibility of liver iron concentration measurements.
(2) Labeling must include specifying:
(i) Instructions for acceptance testing of images prior to processing;
(ii) Data processing quality assurance protocols; and
(iii) The sensitivity and specificity of liver iron concentration measurements.
