No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic device." It is described as a "radiological computer aided triage and notification software" to assist in workflow triage by flagging suspected findings.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that "RNS is an AI/ML SaMD," which stands for Software as a Medical Device. The description focuses solely on the software's function and integration within a platform, without mentioning any accompanying hardware components that are part of the regulated device itself.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The provided text describes a software device that analyzes medical images (non-enhanced head CT scans). It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to assist in workflow triage and notification based on the analysis of radiological images, not to diagnose conditions based on laboratory tests.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Rapid NCCT Stroke is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of (1) nonenhanced head CT (NCCT) images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained clinicians in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings of (1) head CT images for Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) and (2) NCCT large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1.
Rapid NCCT Stroke uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected (1) ICH or (2) NCCT LVO on the Rapid server on premise or in the cloud in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected ICH or LVO findings via PACS, email or mobile device. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only, and are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification.
The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic device. The results of Rapid NCCT Stroke are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are ultimately responsible for reviewing full images per the standard of care. Rapid NCCT Stroke is for Adults only.
Cautions:
· All patients should get adequate care for their symptoms including CTA and/or other appropriate care per the standard clinical practice, irrespective of the device output.
· The device is not intended to be a rule-out device and for cases that have been processed by the device without notification for "Suspected LVO" should not be viewed as indicating that LVO is excluded. All cases should undergo CTA, per the standard stroke workup.
Limitations:
· Rapid NCCT Stroke does not replace the need for CTA or MRA in ischemic stroke workflow prioritization and notification only.
· Rapid ICH has been shown to reliably identify hemorrhages of ≥ 0.4ml.
Contraindications/Exclusions
· Patient Motion: excessive motion leading to artifacts that make the scan technically inadequate.
- · Hemorrhagic Transformation, Hematoma
· Very thin or no Ventricles

Device Description
Rapid NCCT Stroke (RNS) is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software device. RNS is a non-enhanced CT (NCCT) processing module which operates within the integrated Rapid Platform to provide triage and notification of suspected intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and NCCT Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. The RNS is an AI/ML SaMD. The output of the module is a priority notification to clinicians indicating the suspicion of ICH or NCCT LVO. ICH analysis uses the ICH Algorithm to identify findings within the ICH algorithm; and the NCCT LVO suspicion uses the combined analysis of the ASPECTS and Hyperdense Vessel Sign (HVS) algorithms. The RNS module uses the basic services supplied by the Rapid Platform including DICOM processing, job management, imaging module execution and imaging output including the notification and compressed image.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
Rapid NCCT Stroke does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the previously cleared CINA device (K200855). Both devices are radiological computer-aided triage and notification software applications for determining suspicion of ICH and LVO. The Avicenna device uses both NCCT for ICH and CTA imaging for LVO, while the Rapid device uses the NCCT Scan for both indications. A significant difference between these devices is that the subject device operates on NCCT images to provide a suspected LVO notification instead of CTA. The benefits include the shorter time to a suspected LVO notification by assessing non-contrast imaging immediately, then CTA follow-up per standard of care for stroke workup. The risks stem from the lower sensitivity of the subject device, which is an inherent limitation of the modality. See SE discussion for assessment of these benefits and risks. A caution has been added to notify the user that CTA should still be considered per standard of care in stroke workup as a reinforcement AHA/ASA guidelines. Thus, the Rapid NCCT Stroke software is substantially equivalent.

Specifically, ICH performance was observed at Se:0.962, Sp:0.974, consistent with the ICH standalone module performance (K221456); and LVO was observed at Se:0.635 (95% CI: 0.544 - 0.717) and Sp: 0.951 (95% CI: 0.891 - 0.979).
In addition, secondary clinical endpoints were used to show expert non-inferiority and nonexpert superiority. Rapid NCCT Stroke passed both conditions with a Se for all readers (experts and non-experts) of 0.436, with difference in Se between NCCT Stroke and all readers of 0.199(95%C1: 0.055-0.34); Se for general radiologists of 0.409, with difference in Se of 0.226(95%CI: 0.071-0.381).

510(k) Summary
The Rapid NCCT time-to-notification analysis includes the time to get the DICOM exam, deidentify it (if required), analyze and send a notification back to the PACS/Workstation, email and mobile. The standard of care time-to-open-exam consisted of the time from the initial scan of the patient to when the radiologist first opened the exam for review.
Rapid NCCT Stroke time-to-notification has been documented for all 254 cases with results shown in the following table. The time time-to-exam-open is referenced from DEN170073 which was for LVO only and did not take into account the time from initial CT to CTA; however, the time indicates from image complete to notification which is similar to the subject device in referencing SoC time. The predicate does not reference combined timelines, only individual time for each portion of the device:
The standard of care time-to-exam-open (58.72 minutes: 95% CI 51.5,71.23 is significantly longer than the parallel time-to-notification of the Rapid NCCT Stroke software.
| Parameter | Mean | 95% CI Lower | 95% CI Upper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to open in standard of care (Minutes) | 58.72 | 51.50 | 71.23 |
| Time to notification of Rapid NCCT Stroke (Minutes) | 2.5 | 2.4 | 2.6 |
| Difference (Minutes) | 70.08 | NA | NA |
Performance across subgroups:
Subgroup analyses were conducted for the LVO indication. The ICH algorithm is the same as the device cleared under K221456.
