Yes
The device description explicitly states that the SpindleX module is an "artificial intelligence (AI) module".
No.
The device is a medical diagnostic application and image processing system used to assist with the analysis of spinal ligament injury by providing measurements and a report. It does not provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "RadioLens v1.0 software is a medical diagnostic application." Furthermore, it describes the SpindleX module as assisting medical practitioners in analyzing and determining the severity of spinal ligament injuries using quantitative measurements and established criteria, which are functions typical of a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device is described as "RadioLens v1.0 software" and its components (DICOM viewer, report editor, SpindleX module) are all software functionalities. It runs on "standard personal and business computers" and processes digital image data. There is no mention of proprietary hardware or hardware components included with the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The RadioLens v1.0 software, including the SpindleX module, operates on digital X-ray images of the spine. It processes, analyzes, and measures features within these images. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
- Input Data: The input data is medical imaging data (DICOM files from X-rays), not biological samples.
- Purpose: The purpose is to assist qualified medical practitioners in analyzing spinal ligament injury based on visual information from X-rays and quantitative measurements derived from those images.
Therefore, since the device works with medical images and not biological samples for in vitro testing, it falls under the category of medical imaging software or a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) with advanced analysis capabilities, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device. It explicitly states "Not Found" for "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text".
Intended Use / Indications for Use
RadioLens v1.0 software is a medical diagnostic application that displays, processes, stores, and transfers DICOM data, with the exception of mammography. It provides the capability to store images and patient information, perform filtering, digital manipulation, and quantitative measurements. The client software is designed to run on standard personal and business computers.
RadioLens v1.0 includes an optional SpindleX module which is used to analyze potential vertebral body displacements in spine, either absolute or relative, using cervical X-Rays of spine. A qualified medical practitioner may use the module to semi-automatically identify relevant spine anatomy and calculate vertebral displacement measurements. Measurements are then used to determine severity and location of any spinal ligament injury leading to subluxation using criteria published in AMA Guides to The Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th & 6th edition.
SpindleX is meant for assistance with analysis of spinal ligament injury in the adult population (>18 years of age) as captured in stress x-rays. SpindleX is not meant for patients that have undergone surgery or other traumatic injury that result in distortion of spinal anatomy.

Device Description
RadioLens v1.0 is a medical image management and processing system for general human radiology reporting and provides a browser based interface for transfer of DICOM files from the scanning equipment to Synapsica's cloud server, for distribution to authorized users, including Radiologists. It also provides a worklist that keeps track of patient cases that the user needs to work on; a DICOM Viewer that allows users to view and analyze images in patient scan; and a report editor where the Radiologist can prepare the text report that goes back to the patient and referring provider.
RadioLens v1.0 includes an optional SpindleX module. The SpindleX is an artificial intelligence (AI) module that works on digital stress x-rays of the spine and assists with clinical interpretation by a qualified Radiologist by automatically providing multiple relevant measurements in the spine.
SpindleX is meant for assistance with analysis of spinal ligament injury in the adult population (>18 years of age) as captured in stress x-rays. SpindleX is not meant for patients that have undergone surgery or other traumatic injury that result in distortion of spinal anatomy.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The RadioLens SpindleX module was trained on 13,452 cervical and 6,492 lumbar retrospective studies that were de-identified and did not contain any PHI. The data was sourced from over 200 institutions across the U.S., making the dataset very diverse and representative of the population demographic. These studies consisted of images of stress x-ravs of cervical and lumbar spine of adults (>18 years) taken in the neutral, flexion or extension where the patient's body is either tilting down or up respectively. Training dataset did not include scans of patients that have undergone surgeries or any other traumatic injury that results in distortion of anatomy. These images had morphometry points pre-marked on cervical and lumbar images by US board certified Radiologists who used these to prepare clinical reports that were delivered to patients. These pre-marked points were treated as ground truth for training of models.
Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A multi-reader multi-center (MRMC) retrospective study was carried out in the United States involving a sample size of 600 de-identified stress x-rays ( 300 cervical and 300 lumbar) collected from over 200 institutions where each case has flexion, extension, and neutral positions of the spine. The data collected for clinical assessment was independent from the data used for training. Three (3) expert radiologists analyzed each case with and without the SpindleX module and sensitivity, specificity, and/or agreement was used to compare performance.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A multi-reader multi-center (MRMC) retrospective study was carried out in the United States involving a sample size of 600 de-identified stress x-rays ( 300 cervical and 300 lumbar). Three (3) expert radiologists analyzed each case with and without the SpindleX module.
- For identification of body part among cervical and lumbar scans, the model had 100% sensitivity for the scans used in the validation study.
- For identification of patient position among flexion, extension and neutral the model had 96.8%, 92.0%, and 90.5% sensitivities respectively.
- For prediction of measurements by the model, the pass criterion was for the combined ICC scores of the model with 3 expert radiologists needed to be as good as ICC scores among those radiologists alone. In the validation exercise, we observed that model agreement was equivalent to agreement that radiologists had among themselves.

7. Performance Data
Safety and performance of the RadioLens v1.0 has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing. Additionally, the software validation activities were performed in accordance with ANSI AAMI IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016 - Medical device software – Software life cycle processes, in addition to the FDA Guidance documents, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and "Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices."
A multi-reader multi-center (MRMC) retrospective study was carried out in the United States involving a sample size of 600 de-identified stress x-rays ( 300 cervical and 300 lumbar) collected from over 200 institutions where each case has flexion, extension, and neutral positions of the spine. The data collected for clinical assessment was independent from the data used for training. Three (3) expert radiologists analyzed each case with and without the SpindleX module and sensitivity, specificity, and/or agreement was used to compare performance.
