Intended Use
The HeartFlow Analysis is an AI-based medical device software for the clinical quantitative and qualitative analysis of previously acquired Computed Tomography DICOM data for patients with suspected coronary artery disease. It provides anatomic data, plaque identification and characterization, as well as the calculations of FFRCT, a coronary physiological simulation, computed from simulated pressure, velocity and blood flow information obtained from a 3D computer model generated from static coronary CT images. The HeartFlow Analysis is intended to support the risk assessment and functional evaluation of coronary artery disease. The HeartFlow Analysis is provided to support qualified clinicians to aid in the evaluation and risk assessment of coronary artery disease. The HeartFlow Analysis is intended to be used by qualified clinicians in conjunction with the patient's clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic tests, as well as the clinician's professional judgment.
Device Description
The HeartFlow Analysis is an Al-based medical device software developed for the clinical quantitative and qualitative analysis of CT DICOM data. It is a tool for the analysis of CT DICOM-compliant cardiac images and data, to assess the anatomy and function of the coronary arteries in the risk stratification and evaluation of coronary artery disease. The software displays coronary and functional information using graphics and text, including computed and derived quantities of percent stenosis, plaque volumes, blood flow, pressure and velocity, to aid the clinician in the assessment and treatment planning of coronary artery disease. The HeartFlow Analysis is performed on previously physician-acquired image data and is unrelated to acquisition equipment and clinical workstations.
More Information

Yes
The document explicitly states "AI-based medical device software" multiple times and mentions "trained using deep learning (Al and machine learning)".

No
The device is described as an AI-based medical device software for analysis and assessment of coronary artery disease, intended to support risk assessment and functional evaluation, but not to treat or cure any condition.

Yes

The device "provides anatomic data, plaque identification and characterization, as well as the calculations of FFRCT, a coronary physiological simulation, computed from simulated pressure, velocity and blood flow information obtained from a 3D computer model generated from static coronary CT images" and is "intended to support the risk assessment and functional evaluation of coronary artery disease." These functions are characteristic of a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The HeartFlow Analysis is an Al-based medical device software" and "The HeartFlow Analysis is performed on previously physician-acquired image data and is unrelated to acquisition equipment and clinical workstations," indicating it is a software application that processes existing data and does not include hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
  • HeartFlow Analysis Function: The HeartFlow Analysis software processes previously acquired Computed Tomography (CT) DICOM data. This data is image-based and represents the anatomy and function of the coronary arteries within the patient's body.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient. It analyzes medical images.

Therefore, the HeartFlow Analysis falls under the category of a medical device software that analyzes imaging data, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

No
The letter does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device. The 'Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text' section states 'Not Found'.

7 Summary of Studies

The software was designed, developed, tested and validated according to written procedures. These procedures specify individuals within the organization responsible for developing and approving product specifications, coding, testing, validating and maintenance.

Validation studies included stress testing, and repeatability testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. Software and medical device design validation has been completed. Medical device design included testing and evaluation using previously acquired diagnostic images received through HeartFlow sponsored clinical trials.

Summaries of pre-clinical studies were reviewed as part of a prior predicate review (K161772, the original predicate of K182035/K190925/K203329). The results concluded the device was acceptable for use.

Results of all current and previously referenced testing conclude the device is acceptable for use.

8 Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the testing demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed devices identified in section 2 above.
