Note: For Image Quality - % contrast/background variability, the reported values are higher than the acceptance criteria, which suggests better performance (lower variability is generally desired for image quality, but the metric here is contrast/background variability, implying a higher value reflects better contrast relative to background). The document claims these results "comply with its predetermined specification," indicating these values met the intended performance.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

Test Set Sample Size: For the clinical effectiveness study, "Sample images from several clinical cases with different PET tracers using the CareMiBrain PET Scanner were provided." The exact number of clinical cases is not specified from this statement, but a previous mention notes that "More than 40 clinical images are provided from CareMiBrain to demonstrate the image capability". This suggests a test set of at least 40 clinical images.

Data Provenance:

  • Bench Performance Data: Independently tested by the "Institute for Instrumentation of Molecular Imaging (i3m)" according to NEMA NU 2-2012 and NEMA NU 4-2008 standards. The results were published in Scientific Reports Journal (DOI 10.1038/s41598-019-51898-z). This implies the testing was conducted in a laboratory setting.
  • Clinical Effectiveness Data: Tested by "independent hospitals" and the results published in the Spanish Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (DOI 10.1016/j.remn.2021.04.002). This indicates prospective data collection from real-world clinical use.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not explicitly provided in the document. While clinical effectiveness was assessed and images were provided, there's no detail on how ground truth for these clinical cases was established (e.g., through a panel of qualified radiologists, comparing with other diagnostic methods, or follow-up).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not explicitly provided in the document.

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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done, or at least not described in this document. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the device's inherent performance and clinical effectiveness for obtaining PET images, not its impact on human reader performance or AI assistance. The device is purely an imaging system, not an AI-powered diagnostic aid that assists human readers.

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

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was done. The entire bench performance testing, evaluated against NEMA standards, represents the standalone performance of the CareMiBrain device. The clinical images provided also demonstrate the device's output without human interpretation as part of the core performance metrics. The device itself is the "algorithm" in this context, producing images for human interpretation.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Bench Performance: Ground truth was established by adherence to recognized phantom-based testing protocols (NEMA NU 4-2008 and NEMA NU 2-2012) using phantoms with known properties.
  • Clinical Effectiveness: The document states "Sample images from several clinical cases with different PET tracers...were provided." While it mentions "clinical effectiveness," the specific type of ground truth for these clinical cases (e.g., confirmed diagnosis by pathology, follow-up outcomes, expert consensus on other imaging modalities) is not explicitly detailed.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document describes the device as a PET scanner (hardware and associated software for acquisition, reconstruction, and export of images), not an AI/Machine Learning model that would typically have a separate training set. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm is not applicable to this device as described. The software's development would likely involve standard software engineering verification and validation processes, not machine learning training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As the concept of a "training set" for an AI algorithm is not applicable to this device as described, this question is not relevant.

i. Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the CareMiBrain device and certified by independent certification company DEKRA and SGS. The system complies with the following standards:

  • . ANSI / AAMI ES 60601-1:2005 / ( R ) 2012 and A1:2012, C1:2009/ (R ) 2012 and A2:2010/( R) 2012. Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.
  • ANSI / AAMI IEC 60601-1-2:2014. Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests.

ii. Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (CDRH, 2005)."

According to the FDA regulations, the CareMiBrain Level of Concern is "Moderate". A software malfunction cannot directly cause any harm to the patient but might lead to an erroneous diagnosis or a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that might lead to minor injury. But as the scope of the CareMiBrain Suite is to provide additional information to other techniques which are usually performed (pathologic analysis, etc.), the physician criteria would always prevail over it.

On the other hand, the software validation process has been designed following the ISO/IEC 62304 guidelines. According to ISO/IEC 62304, it must comply with level B in the security level, which equals to "Moderate Level of Concern" in FDA regulation.

iii. Performance Testing - Bench

Performance testing was conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff," Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Emission Computed Tomography Devices and Accessories (SPECT and PET) and NuclearTomography Systems" Section IX.C.2. (CDRH, 1998).

Performance CareMiBrain PET Scanner has been tested by an independent institute for Instrumentation of Molecular Imaging, i3m) according to NEMA NU 2-2012 (for whole-body PETs) and the results published in Scientific Reports Journal (DOI 10.1038/s41598-019-51898-z). The measurements performed include:

  • Spatial Resolution
  • Scatter Fraction and count rate (NECR) ●

{13}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/13/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for OncoVision. The logo consists of a blue sphere on the left and the word "ONCO" in blue on the right, stacked on top of the word "VISION" in green. The sphere has a white line running through it.

  • Sensitivity ●
  • Image Quality, accuracy of attenuation correction and scatter correction
  • Accuracy: corrections for count losses and randoms

Test results indicate that CareMiBrain PET Scanner complies with its predetermined specification and the applicable standards.

For a better understanding of the performed tests, these have been following the NEMA NU 4-2008, the standard on performance measurement of small animal Positron Emission Tomographs, and NEMA NU 2-2018, used for performance measurements of human Positron Emission Tomographs.

This is because in some test the length of the ring prevented the NEMA NU 2-2018 from being followed. However, the NEMA NU 4-2008 tests are more restrictive.

Therefore, to establish an acceptance tolerance we have relied on other PETs, because when these tests were performed there was no dedicated brain PET available, as we can see in Moliner, L., Rodríguez-Alvarez, M.J., Catret, J.V. et al. NEMA Performance Evaluation of CareMiBrain dedicated brain PET and Comparison with the whole-body and dedicated brain PET systems. Sci Rep 9, 15484 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-51898-z
