Yes
The device description explicitly states that Contour ProtégéAI is an accessory to MIM software and operates on standard computer systems (Windows, Mac, Linux). It is deployed either remotely or locally on a workstation/server running MIM software. There is no mention of dedicated hardware components included with the device itself.
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 intended use and device description clearly state that Contour ProtégéAI processes digital medical images (CT and MR) of patients. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The purpose of an IVD is to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or condition based on the analysis of these specimens. Contour ProtégéAI's purpose is to assist trained medical professionals in the processing and analysis of medical images for tasks like contouring anatomical structures, which is a step in medical imaging workflows, particularly in radiation therapy planning.
The device is a medical image processing tool, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A total of 550 CT images from 41 clinical sites across multiple continents was gathered for the training of the final 4.1.0 neural network models.
The CT images for this training set were obtained from clinical treatment plans for patients prescribed external beam or molecular radiotherapy, but the original segmentations were not used. Instead, the images were re-segmented by consultants (physicians and dosimetrists) specifically for this purpose, outside of clinical practice. Detailed instructions derived from relevant published clinical contouring quidelines were prepared for the dosimetrists. The initial segmentations were then reviewed and corrected by a radiation oncologist against the same standards and quidelines. Qualified staff at MIM Software (M.D. or licensed dosimetrists) then performed a final review and correction. All segmenters were instructed to spend additional time to ensure the highest quality training data. In particular, the consultants were asked to contour all specified OAR structures on all images according to referenced standards, whether or not they were proximal to the treatment field. All patients were imaged on an indexed couch in treatment position ("simulation CT"). Series that were non-axial, had slices thinner than 0.5mm, or had non-Fan Beam or MV acquisitions were excluded.
Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The proposed Contour ProtégéAl device were then evaluated on the test subjects from a pool of 754 independent images gathered from 27 institutions.
The verification data used for testing is from a set of institutions that are totally disjoint from the training datasets used to train each model in the Contour ProtégéAl device. The reference predicate MIM device was configured with Atlases built from the same training data used to train the models.
The images 48.4% were female, 35.2% were male, and 16.4% were unknown for sex. The manufacturer was GE for 37.9% of images, 25.1% was Siemens, 15.0% were Philips, 0.4% were from Toshiba, and the other 21.6% were unknown.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Noninferiority testing was used to compare the proposed Contour ProtégéAl device to Atlases created from the MIM Maestro (K071964) reference device.
The proposed Contour ProtégéAl device were then evaluated on the test subjects from a pool of 754 independent images gathered from 27 institutions.
We tested Contour ProtégéAl against the reference predicate device, and the goal of this testing is to show that it is equivalent or superior to the reference predicate. The performance of both segmentation devices was measured by calculating both the Dice score and MDA of the novel segmentations with the original ground-truth contours. User beta testing was also used to evaluate the performance of Contour ProtégéAl in the context of time savings compared to contouring from scratch. This user evaluation was made on a three-point scale for each contour, with one indicating negligible time savings, two indicating moderate, and three indicating significant time savings. Our acceptance criteria combine the statistical tests and the user evaluation - only structures that pass two or more of the following three tests could be included in the final models:
- Statistical non-inferiority of the Dice score compared with the reference predicate.
- Statistical non-inferiority of the MDA score compared with the reference predicate.
- Average user evaluation of 2 or higher, when measured on a three-point scale.
Further clinical validation was also conducted in-house to evaluate contours compared to detailed criteria based on established clinical quidelines.
In addition, each model as a whole was also evaluated. In order to be included in the released product, the cumulative Added Path Length of the contours in the model was evaluated relative to the ground-truth. Cumulative APL has been found to correlate well with the spent in editing and correcting auto-segmented contours (Vaassen et al, 2020)'. Each model was required to have statistically non-inferior cumulative APL compared to the reference predicate.
Finally, the localization accuracy of each structure in all models was measured. We did not impose a passing criterion on localization accuracy; the results however are included in this summary document and in our User Guide and Whitepaper to allow the user to better understand the performance of the device.
The mean and standard deviation Dice coefficients and MDA scores, along with the lower 95th percentile confidence bound, were calculated for both the proposed Contour ProtégéAl device and the MIM Maestro atlas seamentation reference device for each structure of each neural network model. Contour ProtégéAl results were equivalent or had better performance than the MIM Maestro atlas segmentation reference device. Equivalence is defined such that the lower 95th percentile confidence bound of the Contour ProtégéAl segmentation is greater than 0.1 Dice lower than the mean MIM atlas segmentation reference device performance.
Preliminary user evaluation conducted as part of testing demonstrated that Contour ProtégéAl yields comparable time-saving functionality when creating contours as other commercially available automatic segmentation products.
Contour ProtégéAl results were equivalent or had better performance than the MIM Maestro atlas segmentation reference device.

Discussion
Changes within this submission include new 4.1.0 neural network models with additional contours. These changes differ when comparing to Contour ProtégéAl 510(K)223774. Noninferiority testing was used to compare the proposed Contour ProtégéAl device to Atlases created from the MIM Maestro (K071964) reference device.
Testing and Performance Data
The proposed Contour ProtégéAl device were then evaluated on the test subjects from a pool of 754 independent images gathered from 27 institutions.
The CT images for this training set were obtained from clinical treatment plans for patients prescribed external beam or molecular radiotherapy, but the original segmentations were not used. Instead, the images were re-segmented by consultants (physicians and dosimetrists) specifically for this purpose, outside of clinical practice. Detailed instructions derived from relevant published clinical contouring quidelines were prepared for the dosimetrists. The initial segmentations were then reviewed and corrected by a radiation oncologist against the same standards and quidelines. Qualified staff at MIM Software (M.D. or licensed dosimetrists) then performed a final review and correction. All segmenters were instructed to spend additional time to ensure the highest quality training data. In particular, the consultants were asked to contour all specified OAR structures on all images according to referenced standards, whether or not they were proximal to the treatment field. All patients were imaged on an indexed couch in treatment position ("simulation CT"). Series that were non-axial, had slices thinner than 0.5mm, or had non-Fan Beam or MV acquisitions were excluded.
The verification data used for testing is from a set of institutions that are totally disioint from the training datasets used to train each model in the Contour ProtégéAl device. The reference predicate MIM device was configured with Atlases built from the same training data used to train

the models. We tested Contour ProtégéAl against the reference predicate device, and the goal of this testing is to show that it is equivalent or superior to the reference predicate. The performance of both segmentation devices was measured by calculating both the Dice score and MDA of the novel segmentations with the original ground-truth contours. User beta testing was also used to evaluate the performance of Contour ProtégéAl in the context of time savings compared to contouring from scratch. This user evaluation was made on a three-point scale for each contour, with one indicating negligible time savings, two indicating moderate, and three indicating significant time savings. Our acceptance criteria combine the statistical tests and the user evaluation - only structures that pass two or more of the following three tests could be included in the final models:
- Statistical non-inferiority of the Dice score compared with the reference predicate. ●
- . Statistical non-inferiority of the MDA score compared with the reference predicate.
- Average user evaluation of 2 or higher, when measured on a three-point scale. .
Further clinical validation was also conducted in-house to evaluate contours compared to detailed criteria based on established clinical quidelines.
In addition, each model as a whole was also evaluated. In order to be included in the released product, the cumulative Added Path Length of the contours in the model was evaluated relative to the ground-truth. Cumulative APL has been found to correlate well with the spent in editing and correcting auto-segmented contours (Vaassen et al, 2020)'. Each model was required to have statistically non-inferior cumulative APL compared to the reference predicate.
Finally, the localization accuracy of each structure in all models was measured. We did not impose a passing criterion on localization accuracy; the results however are included in this summary document and in our User Guide and Whitepaper to allow the user to better understand the performance of the device.
Across the testing data the images 48.4% were female, 35.2% were male, and 16.4% were unknown for sex. The manufacturer was GE for 37.9% of images, 25.1% was Siemens, 15.0% were Philips, 0.4% were from Toshiba, and the other 21.6% were unknown. 4.38% were between the ages of 20-40, 21.5% were between 40-60, and 47.9% were over the age of 60. 26.0% were unknown, and 0.3% were under the age 20.
The mean and standard deviation Dice coefficients and MDA scores, along with the lower 95th percentile confidence bound, were calculated for both the proposed Contour ProtégéAl device and the MIM Maestro atlas seamentation reference device for each structure of each neural network model. Contour ProtégéAl results were equivalent or had better performance than the MIM Maestro atlas segmentation reference device. Equivalence is defined such that the lower 95th percentile confidence bound of the Contour ProtégéAl segmentation is greater than 0.1 Dice lower than the mean MIM atlas segmentation reference device performance.

Percentage of images that were successfully localized by Contour ProtégéAl. N/A (not applicable) refers to models which the relevant FOV is a Whole Body CT.
Known Limitations and Biases:
Contour ProtégéAl can produce incorrect or implausible segmentations when the underlying anatomy is in the field of view of the scan but not clearly discernable due to image quality, noise, or the generally low contrast of some structures. This can occur in any situation where the organ at risk is not clearly discernable in the image, but has been observed for submandibular glands, optic nerves, and optic chiasm, in particular.
While both images with and without IV contrast are represented in the training set for Contour ProtégéAl, the effect of iodinated contrast can vary due to patient weight, contrast dosage, and time since injection. In cases where there is unusually intense brain enhancement, the posterior boundary of the brain can be incorrectly segmented.
The age breakdown of the training data, where patient age was available, was predominantly in the 40-60 and 60+ age ranges. While this is appropriate to the intended patient population, only a small proportion of testing and training data was for patients under 40, so more intensive review may be warranted for younger patients.
Where patient sex was available, the ratio of male to female patients in the training set was roughly 2:1. The testing data was chosen with a more even ratio (about 0.82:1) to establish applicability of the model to both.
Conclusion
Based on the Discussion and Testing and Performance Data above, the proposed device is determined to be as safe and effective as its predicate device. Contour ProtégéAl 510 K223774. In addition, the proposed device performs as well as the reference predicate device. MIM 4.1 SEASTAR (tradename MIM Maestro) K071964.
