Yes
The text explicitly states "Mixed Traditional and AI/ML" under the Software section of the Substantial Equivalence Comparison table.
No
The device is image processing software, an aid to diagnosis, and does not provide direct treatment.
Yes
The device, "Rapid," is explicitly described as aiding "physician diagnosis" and providing "viewing, quantification, analysis and reporting capabilities" for medical images. It is also indicated for use by physicians in "selection of acute stroke patients." These functions clearly align with the purpose of a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device is described as a "software package" and "Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)" that runs on standard off-the-shelf computers or virtual platforms, processing images acquired from separate DICOM compliant imaging devices. While it interacts with hardware (imaging devices, servers), the device itself is the software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze biological samples: IVDs are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
- This device analyzes medical images: The Rapid software processes and analyzes medical images acquired from imaging devices like CT and MRI. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- The intended use is image processing and analysis: The description clearly states the software is for "image viewing, processing, and analysis of images" and "visualization and study of changes in tissue using digital images."
Therefore, while it is a medical device used for diagnosis, it falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device. The section "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text" is blank, indicating no such information is present.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Rapid is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians (medical analysis and decision making) and medical technicians (administrative case processing). The software runs on a standard off-the-shelf computer or a virtual platform, such as VMware, and can be used to perform image viewing, processing, and analysis of images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices. Rapid is indicated for use in Adults only.
Rapid provides both viewing and analysis capabilities for functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with CT, CT Perfusion (CTP), CT Angiography (CTA), C-arm CT Perfusion and MRI including a Diffusion Weighted MRI (DWI) Module and a Dynamic Analysis Module (dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging data for MRI, CT, and C-arm CT).
Rapid C-arm CT Perfusion can be used to qualitatively assess cerebral hemodynamics in the angiography suite.
The CT analysis includes NCCT maps showing areas of hypodense and hyperdense tissue.
The DWI Module is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion - weighted MRI data.
The Dynamic Analysis Module is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data, showing properties of changes in contrast over time. This functionality includes calculation of parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion) and tissue blood volume.
Rapid CT Perfusion and Rapid MR Perfusion can be used by physicians to aid in the selection of acute stroke patients (with known occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery). Instructions for the use of contrast agents for this indication can be found in Appendix A of the User's Manual. Additional information for safe and effective drug use is available in the product-specific iodinated CT and gadolinium-based MR contrast drug labeling.
In addition to the Rapid imaging criteria, patients must meet the clinical requirements for thrombectomy, as assessed by the physician, and have none of the following contraindications or exclusions:
- Bolus Quality: absent or inadequate bolus.
- Patient Motion: excessive motion leading to artifacts that make the scan technically . inadequate.
- Presence of hemorrhage.
- C-Arm CTP is not to be used in the Rapid Thrombectomy indication for patient selection criteria, other modalities should be consulted.
Caution:
- . C-Arm CTP provides qualitative data only, review other modalities prior to diagnosis. CBV and CBT are not absolute and CBT, CBV, MTT and Tmax are supported for qualitative interpretation of the perfusion maps only.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
iSchemaView conducted extensive phantom validation testing of the Rapid System for characterizing the perfusion imaging performance of conventional CT and C-arm CT scanners. The performance validation testing demonstrated that the Rapid system provides accurate representation of key processing parameters under a range of clinically relevant parameters and perturbations associated with the intended use of the software.
Additionally, iSchemaView conducted software verification and validation testing of the Rapid system. Software performance, validation and verification testing demonstrated that the Rapid system met all design requirements and specifications.
Phantom validation results between conventional CT and C-arm CT scanners for the perfusion indication of Rapid Core are comparable with small biases in MTT (mean transit time) and Tmax (time to the maximum of the residue function) which were expected due to the temporal resolution difference in conventional and C-arm CT scanners.

by trained professionals, including but not limited to | ||
physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on | ||
a standard off-the-shelf computer or a virtual platform, | ||
such as VMware, and can be used to perform image | ||
viewing, processing and analysis of images. Data and | ||
images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging | ||
devices. | ||
Rapid provides both viewing and analysis capabilities for | ||
functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with CT | ||
Perfusion (CTP), CT Angiography (CTA), and MRI | ||
including a Diffusion Weighted MRI (DWI) Module and a | ||
Dynamic Analysis Module (dynamic contrast-enhanced | ||
imaging data for MRI and CT). | ||
The CT analysis includes NCCT maps showing areas of | ||
hypodense and hyperdense tissue. | ||
The DWI Module is used to visualize local water diffusion | ||
properties from the analysis of diffusion - weighted MRI | ||
data. | ||
The Dynamic Analysis Module is used for visualization | ||
and analysis of dynamic imaging data, showing properties | ||
of changes in contrast over time. This functionality | ||
includes calculation of parameters related to tissue flow | ||
(perfusion) and tissue blood volume. | ||
Rapid CT-Perfusion and Rapid MR-Perfusion can be used by | ||
physicians to aid in the selection of acute stroke patients (with | ||
known occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or | ||
proximal middle cerebral artery) | Rapid is an image processing software package to be used | |

In addition to the Rapid imaging criteria, patients must meet
the clinical requirements for thrombectomy, as assessed by
the physician, and have none of the following
contraindications or exclusions:
Bolus Quality: absent or inadequate bolus. Patient Motion: excessive motion leading to artifacts that
make the scan technically inadequate. Presence of hemorrhage. | Rapid CT Perfusion and Rapid MR Perfusion can be used
