More Information

No
The summary describes standard image processing and analysis techniques for fMRI data (BOLD sequence analysis, activation map computation, visualization, ROI analysis, etc.) and does not mention any AI or ML algorithms. The validation testing focuses on comparing the results to a predicate device using traditional metrics, not AI/ML specific performance measures.

No
The device is used for image processing, visualization, and analysis of activation maps from BOLD sequences, providing diagnostic information but not directly delivering therapy.

Yes

This device is intended to provide "information that may be used in a clinically useful context" by trained professionals, including physicians, for analyzing activation maps from BOLD sequences and providing reproducible measurements of derived maps. Although patient management decisions should not be based solely on its results, the function of processing and analyzing medical images to provide data for clinical use falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device is described as an "optional image processing software application" and a "PACS software module" that runs on a standard PC workstation, with no mention of accompanying hardware components developed or sold by the manufacturer.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of Functional MR V1.0 clearly states it processes and analyzes medical images (BOLD, DTI, multi-modality digital images) obtained from an MRI scanner. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use is for image processing, visualization, and analysis. The software helps trained professionals interpret medical images, not perform tests on biological specimens.
  • The device description focuses on image analysis techniques (BOLD contrast, hemodynamic response). This is consistent with medical imaging analysis, not in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, Functional MR V1.0 falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, not an IVD.

Device Description

Introduction

The functional MRI technique consists of analyzing the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast images. This is a type of specialized brain and body scan is used to map neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans by imaging the change in blood flow (hemodynamic response) related to energy use by brain cells.

Olea Medical proposes the Functional MR V1.0 as an optional medical viewing, analysis and processing, Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS) software module that is intended for use with Olea Sphere® V3.0 software package (K152602). Functional MR V1.0 software application runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" PC workstation.

Functional MR V1.0 interaction with Olea Sphere V3.0

Olea Sphere® V3.0 is the base that handles all communications with outside world (import/export of DICOM files from filesystem or the network, network communications, license checks). As an Olea Sphere V3.0 module, Functional MR V1.0 inherits the cross-functionality of Olea Sphere V3.0. Specifically, Functional MR V1.0 inherits all the visualization functions of Olea Sphere V3.0.

The principle of operation of Functional MR V1.0 is as follows:

  • Inputs series (BOLD, T1, T2) are received in Functional MR V1.0 through Olea Sphere V3.0:
  • Functional MR V1.0 processes the received series;
  • The results of the Functional MR V1.0 processing are provided to Olea Sphere V3.0, which then makes the results available for viewing and to other systems and file systems.

5

Functional MR V1.0 is used as an image viewer of multi-modality digital images, including BOLD and DTI images. Functional MR V1.0 and DTI are two Olea Sphere V3.0 modules independent but complementary in terms of functionality.

Functional MR V1.0 interface

Functional MR V1.0 module allows the user to choose between two tabs: Basic and Advanced. The basic tab is designed for a quick review of the case (allowing the user to set the threshold (p-value) and select the activation map to display) whereas the Advanced one allows to access and adjust preprocessing parameters and allows the user to analyze the BOLD signal in detail.

Principles of operation of Functional MR V1.0

Functional MR V1.0 is designed for task BOLD sequence analysis and visualization of statistical output maps (neural activation maps).

The BOLD analysis within Functional MR V1.0 includes voxel based statistical analysis using the General Linear Model (GLM) and p- or t-value threshold in order to extract the stimulus related signal.

Following the paradigm configuration associated to each analyzed BOLD sequence. GLM fitting is used to extract derived activation maps.

Based on user-specified paradigm and activated locations in the brain, Functional MR V1.0 is used to compute and display the following features:

  • Paradigm display allowing to check and modify the paradigm configuration used for activation map computation. Paradigm configuration is provided through a customizable table and the validated configuration is displayed as colour boxes through a graph where BOLD signal and GLM fitting can be displayed.
  • Activation maps which are computed using GLM fitting based on the paradigm . configuration set by the user. Activation maps can be filtered by maximizing the correlation of GLM fitted signal with configured paradigm. To do so the user can set a threshold identified as the p-value.
  • BOLD signal chart display allowing to display the BOLD signal for specific areas of the ● analysed BOLD sequence, selected by the user.
  • . GLM fitting chart display (informing the user on the correlation of the estimated signal with paradigm configuration for specific areas of the analysed BOLD sequence, selected by the user).
  • Skull filtering allowing the user to remove specific areas (e.g., background and skull) . of the sequence which may not be related to the purpose of the exam.

Functional MR V1.0 can also be used to make measurements of activation maps. These measurements include thresholds modification and ROI analysis.

All the Functional MR V1.0 outputs are made available for Neuro-Navigation systems.

Functional MR V1.0 does not support resting-state BOLD sequences.

When interpreted by a skilled physician, Functional MR V1.0 provides information that may be used in a clinically useful context. Patient management decisions should not be based solely on the results of Functional MR V1.0.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

Functional MR V1.0 is an optional medical viewing, analysis and processing, Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS) software module that is intended for use on Olea Sphere® 3.0 software package.

Both Functional MR V1.0 and nordicBrainEx v2.3.7 are intended to analyze the functional MR data of the brain. Both software applications run on a standard "off-the-shelf" PC workstation and can be used with data and images acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices and modalities.

Similarly, both devices are for use in hospitals, imaging centers and radiologist reading practices by any trained professional who may require and are granted access to patient image, demographic, and report information. Importantly, neither software product is used for diagnosis. Patient management decisions should not be based solely on the results of either software. Therefore, the intended use of the software is the same.

There are minor differences between the two devices. For example, Functional MR V1.0 is a software application intended to be used on Olea Sphere V3.0 whereas nordicBrainEx v2.3.7 is a standalone software. Functional MR V1.0 is only to be used with the cleared Olea Sphere V3.0 PACS (K152602). The Functional MR V1.0 also allows the computation of "Laterality Index". However, this feature does not impact the location and detection of neuro-activated areas. Lastly, Functional MR V1.0 allows the application of "Bonferroni Correction" for a better conspicuity of activated area. These two features do not impact on the safety and performance of the application. Therefore, these minor differences do not impact the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.

Performance Data

Olea Medical has conducted extensive validation testing of the Functional MR V1.0 as a PACS software module intended for use with the Olea Sphere V3.0 system, cleared under K152602. Internal verification and validation testing confirms that the product specifications are met.

Functional MR V1.0, as an optional application of the Olea Sphere V3.0 software, has been validated to ensure that the system as a whole provides all the capabilities necessary to operate according to its intended use and in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The main groups of tests performed include:

  • Product risk assessment;
  • Software modules verification tests; .
  • . Software validation test.

7

In addition to software performance testing, the company conducted additional validation testing to compare the results of Functional MR V1.0 with the predicate. nordicBrainEx v2.3.7 (NordicNeurolab AS®) was used as a comparison for Functional MR V1.0 to evaluate performance of BOLD sequence analysis and visualization, viewing and measurement tools, 2D MPR and 3D volume rendering visualization, Paradigm selection, Activation maps, Skull Filtering, Automatic Coregistration, Time Intensity Display, Motion Correction, Slice time correction, Spatial Filtering and Threshold adjusting. The result of this comparison demonstrates that Functional MR V1.0 has a safety and effectiveness profile similar to the predicate device.

Conclusions

Functional MR V1.0 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, nordicBrainEx v2.3.7. The Functional MR V1.0 has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device.

In addition, the two minor technological differences between the Functional MR V1.0 and its predicate device raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Functional MR V1.0 is as safe and effective as nordicBrainEx v2.3.7. Thus, the Functional MR V1.0 is substantially equivalent.
