Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis software is an automated machine learning-based decision support tool, indicated as a diagnostic aid for patients undergoing CT analysis using Cleerly Labs software. When utilized by an interpreting healthcare provider, this software tool provides information that may be useful in detecting likely ischemia associated with coronary artery disease. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the results of the Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis.
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is an add-on software module to Cleerly Labs (K202280, K190868) that determines the likely presence or absence of coronal vessel ischemia based on quantitative measures of atherosclerosis, stenosis, and significant vascular morphology from typically-acquired Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography images (CCTA). Cleerly ISCHEMIA, in conjunction with Cleerly Labs, outputs a Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII), a binary indication of negative CII (likely absence of ischemia) or positive CII (likely presence of ischemia) with its threshold equivalent to invasive FFR >0.80 vs. ≤0.80, respectively, as identified in professional societal practice guidelines.
The provided document describes the Cleerly ISCHEMIA device and its clinical validation. Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum sensitivity of X% and specificity of Y%). Instead, it presents the results of the primary endpoint analysis from the CREDENCE Trial and then pooled results from additional studies. Therefore, the reported device performance serves as the basis for demonstrating acceptable clinical performance.
| Metric (Per-vessel territory) | Reported Device Performance (CREDENCE Trial, Primary Endpoint) |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 75.9% (167/220) |
| Specificity | 83.4% (521/625) |
Additional performance data from pooled US and OUS cohorts are also provided:
| Metric (Pooled US + OUS, Per-vessel territory) | Estimate | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 76.2% | 71.9%, 80.3% |
| Specificity | 85.2% | 82.8%, 87.4% |
| PPV | 65.9% | 61.2%, 70.3% |
| NPV | 90.5% | 88.5%, 92.3% |
| LR+ | 5.15 | - |
| LR- | 0.28 | - |
| Metric (Pooled US + OUS, Per patient territory) | Estimate | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 86.6% | 82.1%, 90.1% |
| Specificity | 69.8% | 64.4%, 74.7% |
| PPV | 73.2% | 68.2%, 77.7% |
| NPV | 84.6% | 79.5%, 88.6% |
| LR+ | 2.87 | - |
| LR- | 0.19 | - |
The conclusion states, "Cumulatively, these data demonstrate acceptable clinical performance," implying that the presented performance values met the internal acceptance standards for regulatory submission.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set (CREDENCE Trial Validation Set): 305 patients.
- Data Provenance: The CREDENCE Trial was a prospective, multicenter trial conducted across 17 centers (later mentioned as 23 centers in the pooled data description, implying evolution or different reporting) between 2014 and 2017. It recruited patients with stable symptoms and without a prior diagnosis of CAD, referred for non-emergent ICA. The primary endpoint analysis was based on the validation set from this trial. The document states a "US/OUS cohort population" was used for pooled data, and then breaks down the pooled data into "Pooled US" (N=149 subjects) and "Pooled OUS" (N=433 subjects). The CREDENCE trial, being a large multi-center study, likely spanned multiple countries, but the specific breakdown of US vs. OUS for the initial CREDENCE derivation/validation sets isn't explicitly detailed; however, subsequent pooled data clearly delineate US and OUS categories.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document states, "Clinical validation testing was done to validate the diagnostic performance of Cleerly ISCHEMIA for non-invasive determination of the functional significance of CAD, as referenced to direct invasive measurement of FFR as the reference standard." It also mentions, "All index tests were interpreted blindly by core laboratories."
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated for the interpretation of FFR.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated, though "core laboratories" implies a standard of expertise in cardiology and interventional procedures necessary for FFR measurement and interpretation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document mentions that FFR was the "reference standard." Invasive FFR measurement is an objective physiological assessment, rather than a subjective interpretation requiring adjudication. For the interpretation of the CCTA images that serve as input to Cleerly Labs (and subsequently Cleerly ISCHEMIA), it states, "All index tests were interpreted blindly by core laboratories." The specific adjudication method (e.g., consensual read vs. single reader) by these core laboratories for CCTA interpretation is not detailed. However, the ground truth for Cleerly ISCHEMIA is directly linked to the quantitative invasive FFR values.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance is described in this document. The study focuses on the standalone diagnostic performance of the Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm against an invasive reference standard (FFR). It is presented as a "diagnostic aid" for use by an interpreting healthcare provider, implying it provides information to the provider, but the study doesn't quantify interaction or improvement.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was clearly done. The clinical validation section explicitly describes the performance of the "Cleerly ISCHEMIA" device in detecting likely ischemia as referenced to invasive FFR. The results (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) are reported for the algorithm's output.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The ground truth used was invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR), described as the "reference standard" for determining the functional significance of coronary artery disease. A Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII) of positive (likely ischemia) corresponds to invasive FFR ≤0.80, and negative CII corresponds to FFR >0.80.
8. The sample size for the training set
The CREDENCE Trial cohort was divided into two subsets: "the first half of enrollees at each site assigned to the derivation (n = 307) and the second half to the validation (n = 305) data set." The derivation set (n=307) would typically serve as the training/development set for the algorithm. The document doesn't explicitly refer to it as the "training set," but "derivation" implies its use in developing/optimizing the algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
For the derivation set, the ground truth would have been established in the same manner as for the validation set: direct invasive measurement of FFR. The CREDENCE trial collected FFR data for all enrollees, which were then allocated to either the derivation or validation sets.

6. Summary of Technological Characteristics
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is an add-on software module to Cleerly Labs that calculates vessel-specific likely ischemia presence based on quantitative measures of atherosclerosis, and vascular morphology from typically acquired CCTA.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The Cleerly ISCHEMA data workflow begins after the Cleerly Labs outputs are approved for a study. A pre-processing module evaluates the eligibility of a study or vessels within the study for the Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm. The presence of certain identified anomalies can make an entire study ineligible, whereas the presence of a stent or exclusion in a vessel can make just that vessel ineligible. For all eligible vessels within a study, relevant Cleerly Labs outputs are aggregated from the default segment level to vessel level as the inputs to the Cleerly ISCHEMIA alqorithm to determine the likely presence of ischemia. The results will then be evaluated by a post-processing module, which ensures that vessels subtended to a likely ischemic vessel are also marked as likely ischemic. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm outputs a Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII), a binary indication of likely ischemia presence vs absence for a given vessel, which is equivalent to invasive FFR ≤0.80 vs. >0.80, respectively. Invasive FFR is a widely accepted gold-standard for determining vessel-specific ischemia. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm is "locked," meaning it is not a continuous learning algorithm.
Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (likely ischemia / not likely ischemia) is displayed visually by Cleerly Labs to show the likely presence or absence of ischemia within epicardial coronary artery vessels. Vessels with Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index indicating likely ischemia presence (positive CII) are illuminated red, while vessels with Cleerly ISCHEMA Index indicating likely ischemia absence (negative CII) are not illuminated. Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis is intended to non-invasively support the functional evaluation of clinically stable symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

7. Performance Data
Non-clinical Testing
Risk assessment, performance, and cybersecurity of Cleerly ISCHEMIA have been evaluated and verified in accordance with software pre-defined specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification testing. Verification testing confirmed that the software requirements fulfilled the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
The nonclinical verification test results established that the device meets its design requirements and intended use. During the development, potential hazards were evaluated and controlled through risk management activities. The performance testing demonstrates that the device meets all its specifications.
Clinical Testing
Clinical validation testing was done to validate the diagnostic performance of Cleerly ISCHEMIA for non-invasive determination of the functional significance of CAD, as referenced to direct invasive
{6}------------------------------------------------
measurement of FFR as the reference standard. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA validation study used data from the CREDENCE Trial (Computed TomogRaphic Evaluation of Atherosclerotic DEtermiNants of Myocardial IsChEmia), a prospective, multicenter trial of 612 stable subjects with suspected, but unconfirmed, CAD who were referred for non-emergent clinically indicated ICA based upon MPI and/or CCTA. CREDENCE enrollees were recruited across 17 centers between 2014 and 2017. Eligibility criteria included referral to non-emergent ICA. All index tests were interpreted blindly by core laboratories. The study population comprised 612 patients with stable symptoms and without a prior diagnosis of CAD referred for non-emergent ICA. Patients were recruited across 23 centers. Trial participants were assigned to 2 subsets with the first half of enrollees at each site assigned to the derivation (n = 307) and the second half to the validation (n = 305) data set.
The primary endpoint analysis is provided in Table 2 below.

8. Cybersecurity
As an add-on module to Cleerly Labs, controls over Cybersecurity risks for Cleerly ISCHEMIA are enacted within Cleerly Labs. Cleerly Labs has implemented security features for device and data protection. Cybersecurity requirements, risk analysis, and mitigation was addressed in accordance with FDA guidance, "Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices."
9. Conclusions
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is as safe and effective as the predicate EchoGo Heart Failure device (K222463). Cleerly ISCHEMIA has a similar intended use and indications for use, as well as similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences between the indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between Cleerly ISCHEMA and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Cleerly ISCHEMIA is as safe and effective as the predicate EchoGo Heart Failure (K222463). Thus, Cleerly ISCHEMIA is substantially equivalent.
