2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Nerve Detection Test Set:

    • Number of Subjects: 18 (13 females, 5 males)
    • Number of Images/Frames: 2,146
    • Data Provenance: All Koreans. The document does not explicitly state if the data was retrospective or prospective. However, the description of data collection (sliding transducer at specific speeds) suggests it was collected for the purpose of this study, indicating a prospective component or at least an intentionally collected dataset.
  • Nerve Segmentation Test Set:

    • Number of Subjects: 11 (8 females, 3 males)
    • Number of Images/Frames: 3,836
    • Data Provenance: All Koreans. Similar to the detection dataset, the provenance is Korean, and the collection method description points towards intentionally collected data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • Number of Experts: 15 experts were involved (10 anesthesiologists and 5 sonographers).
  • Qualifications of Experts: All experts had "more than 10 years of experience."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The ground truth establishment method was as follows:

  • One anesthesiologist who scanned the ultrasound directly drew the initial ground truth (GT) of the nerve location.
  • "Two or more other anesthesiologists and sonographers reviewed and confirmed that it was correct."
  • "If there was any mistake during the review, it was revised again."

This describes a form of consensus-based adjudication with an initial ground truth creator and subsequent confirmation/revision by multiple independent experts. It's not a strict N+M or sequential read, but rather a collaborative review and refinement process.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, the document does not indicate that a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done to compare human readers with vs. without AI assistance. The study focuses solely on the standalone performance of the AI algorithm (NerveTrack).

6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the document explicitly states: "The standalone performance of NerveTrack was evaluated..." The "Summary Performance data" tables provided are for the algorithm's performance without a human in the loop.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was expert consensus. It was established by a team of experienced anesthesiologists and sonographers who reviewed and confirmed the actual nerve locations in the ultrasound images.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document states: "The training data used for the training of the NerveTrack algorithm are independent of the data used to test the NerveTrack algorithm." However, the exact sample size for the training set is not provided in the given text.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

The document mentions that the training data is independent of the test data. While it does not explicitly detail the ground truth establishment method for the training set, it is highly probable that a similar expert-based annotation process (as described for the test set) was used to establish the ground truth for the training data. This is a common practice in AI development to ensure consistency in data labeling.

The standalone performance of NerveTrack was evaluated for BMI (Body Mass Index) subgroups, which are potential subject and image confounder. For subgroup analysis, we divided BMI values into four groups according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) definition for adult overweight & obesity. They are underweight (BMI < 18.5), healthy weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30), and obesity (BMI ≥ 30).

We evaluated the performance for the four groups and observed very good generalizability for BMI, because the average accuracy of all subgroups is included within the confidence interval of the accuracy for the full dataset. The depth range was set 2.5cm to 4.5cm, and the maximum depth of the detected nerve was 3.31 cm from skin. When we calculate the relationship between BMI and the maximum depth of nerves, it illustrates a low correlation and no significant difference of NerveTrack performance according to the patient's BMI information. Therefore, we believe that our model is robust even if the cases with various BMI information exist.

{7}------------------------------------------------

When collecting scan data, the speed of the transducer varies approximately from 1cm to 5cm per second. The orientation of the transducer was short-axis imaging and perpendicular to the skin, obtained by sliding the transducer in both the proximal and distal directions. All the nerve data were acquired on Samsung ultrasound devices including V8.

Ten anesthesiologists and five sonographers with more than 10 years of experience participated to establish the ground truth (GT) for the location of 12 different kinds of nerves. One anesthesiologist who scanned the ultrasound directly drew the GT of nerve location, and two or more other anesthesiologists and sonographers reviewed and confirmed that it was correct. If there was any mistake during the review, it was revised again.

The training data used for the training of the NerveTrack algorithm are independent of the data used to test the NerveTrack algorithm.

Contour segmentation for two kinds of nerves (ISBP: interscalene brachial plexus, and AxBP: axillary brachial plexus) and surrounding structures in the body are added to display the boundary of each region. Contours are displayed with different colors: nerve with yellow, bone with blue, blood vessel with red, and muscle with green.

The accuracy was measured by comparing the segmented outputs of NerveTrack and ground truth made by anesthesiologists. Measurement using the test images was repeated three times, and the average values were calculated.

The proposed device V8 / V7 / V6 / H8 / H7 / H6 Ultrasound System did not require clinical studies to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

13. Conclusion

Since the predicate devices and the subject device have a similar intended use and key technological features, the non-clinical data support the safety of the device and demonstrate that the V8 / V7 / V6 / H8 / H7 / H6 Ultrasound System should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. Therefore, SAMSUNG MEDISON CO., LTD. considers the subject device to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
