Intended Use
SIS System is intended for use in the viewing, presentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other devices for further processing, visualization. The device can be used in conjunction with other clinical methods as an aid in visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN), globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe and GPi, respectively) and the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) in neurological procedures. The system is indicated for surgical procedures in which anatomical structure locations are identified in images, including Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Placement. Typical users of the SIS Software are medical professionals, including but not limited to surgeons, neurologists and radiologists.
Device Description
The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing. The device is designed to enhance standard clinical images for the visualization of structures in the basal ganglia and thalamus areas of the brain, specifically the subthalamic nucleus (STN), globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe/GPi), and ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim). The output of the SIS system supplements the information available through standard clinical methods by providing additional, adjunctive information to surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists for use in viewing brain structures for planning stereotactic surgical procedures and planning of lead output. The SIS System provides a patient-specific, 3D anatomical model of specific brain structures based on the patient's own clinical MR image using pre-trained deep learning neural network models. The model training method incorporates ultra-high resolution 7T (7 Tesla) Magnetic Resonance (MR) images to determine ground truth for the training dataset, which is comprised of clinical (1.5T and 3T) MR imaqes. These pre-trained deep learning neural network models are then applied to a patient's clinical image to predict the shape and position of the patient's specific brain structures of interest. SIS System is further able to locate and identify implanted leads, where implanted, visible in post-operative CT images and place them in relation to the brain structure of interest from the preoperative processing. The proposed device is a modification to the SIS System version 6.0.0 that was cleared under K230977. The primary change is the addition of new brain structures to prediction - Vim is now supported based on pre-trained deep learning neural network models.
More Information

Not Found

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the SIS System is "based on machine learning and image processing" and uses "pre-trained deep learning neural network models" to predict the shape and position of brain structures.

No
This device is for viewing and processing medical images to aid in visualization and planning for surgical procedures, not for direct medical therapy.

No

The device is intended for visualization, image processing, and 3D modeling of brain structures to aid in surgical planning and lead placement, not to diagnose a disease or condition. While it provides "adjunctive information," its primary function is to enhance visualization and support procedural planning.

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing."

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The SIS System is a software-only device that processes medical images (MR and CT) of the brain. Its purpose is to enhance visualization of specific brain structures and aid in surgical planning and lead placement. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "viewing, presentation of medical imaging," "image processing," "image fusion," and "intraoperative functional planning." These activities are related to image analysis and surgical guidance, not the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the SIS System falls under the category of medical imaging software or surgical planning software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The provided text does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The model training method incorporates ultra-high resolution 7T (7 Tesla) Magnetic Resonance (MR) images to determine ground truth for the training dataset, which is comprised of clinical (1.5T and 3T) MR imaqes.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A series of images from clinical subjects were collected. Subjects were scanned with both clinical MRI (1.5T or 3T), High Field (7T) MRI and DiMANI (a novel and simple Diffusion MRI datasets method that only depends on the raw signal of the diffusionweighted volumes) on which the Vim was manually segmented (as ground truth). None of the images from this pivotal validation set were part of the company's database for algorithm development and none were used to optimize or design the SIS's software. This pivotal validation data set was separate from the data set that was used for development. The software development was frozen and labeled before testing on this validation set.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Visualization accuracy testing was performed to clinically validate the new device feature for visualization of the Vim. A series of images from clinical subjects were collected.
Three measurements were used to compare the SIS visualization via SIS System and ground truth Vim (manually segmented on the DiMANI images): (1) Center of mass distance; (2) Mean surface distance; and (3) Dice coefficient values. For the Vim visualizations, study results showed that 90% of the center of mass distances and mean surface distances were below 1.83mm and 0.86mm, respectively. 95.6% of the center of mass distances and 100% of the surface distances were not greater than 2.00mm. In addition, the mean Dice coefficient in this dataset was 0.7. Thus, the study met the pre-specified criteria of 90% of center of mass distances and surface distances not greater than 2.00mm and average dice coefficient greater or equal to 0.6.

Predicate Device: Surgical Information Sciences SIS Software version 6.0.0 (K230977)

Intended Use / Indications for Use

SIS System is intended for use in the viewing, presentation and documentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image quided surgery or other devices for further processing, visualization and localization. The device can be used in conjunction with other clinical methods as an aid in visualization and location of the subthalamic nuclei (STN), globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe and GPi, respectively) and the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) in neurological procedures.

The system is indicated for surgical procedures in which anatomical structure locations are identified in images, including Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Placement.

Typical users of the SIS Software are medical professionals, including but not limited to surgeons, neurologists and radiologists.

Technological Characteristics

The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing. The device is designed to enhance standard clinical images for the visualization of structures in the basal ganglia and thalamus areas of the brain, specifically the subthalamic nucleus (STN), globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe/GPi), and ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim). The output of the SIS system supplements the information available through standard clinical methods by providing additional, adjunctive information to surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists for use in viewing brain structures for planning stereotactic surgical procedures and planning of lead output.

The SIS System provides a patient-specific, 3D anatomical model of specific brain structures based on the patient's own clinical MR image using pre-trained deep learning neural network models. The model training method incorporates ultra-high resolution 7T (7 Tesla) Magnetic Resonance (MR) images to determine ground truth for the training dataset, which is comprised of clinical (1.5T and 3T) MR imaqes. These pre-trained deep learning neural network models are then applied to a patient's clinical image to predict the shape and position of the patient's specific brain structures of interest. SIS System is further able to locate and identify implanted leads, where implanted, visible in post-operative CT images and place them in relation to the brain structure of interest from the preoperative processing.

The proposed device is a modification to the SIS System version 6.0.0 that was cleared under K230977. The primary change is the addition of new brain structures to prediction - Vim is now supported based on pre-trained deep learning neural network models.

Performance Data

Software testing was conducted to ensure that the SIS System functions as specified and performs similarly to the predicate device using the same acceptance criteria and the same test designs as used for the previously cleared predicate device.

Visualization accuracy testing was performed to clinically validate the new device feature for visualization of the Vim. A series of images from clinical subjects were collected. Subjects were scanned with both clinical MRI (1.5T or 3T), High Field (7T) MRI and DiMANI (a novel and simple Diffusion MRI datasets method that only depends on the raw signal of the diffusionweighted volumes) on which the Vim was manually segmented (as ground truth). None of the images from this pivotal validation set were part of the company's database for algorithm development and none were used to optimize or design the SIS's software. This pivotal validation data set was separate from the data set that was used for development. The software development was frozen and labeled before testing on this validation set.

Three measurements were used to compare the SIS visualization via SIS System and ground truth Vim (manually segmented on the DiMANI images): (1) Center of mass distance; (2) Mean surface distance; and (3) Dice coefficient values. For the Vim visualizations, study results showed that 90% of the center of mass distances and mean surface distances were below 1.83mm and 0.86mm, respectively. 95.6% of the center of mass distances and 100% of the surface distances were not greater than 2.00mm. In addition, the mean Dice coefficient in this dataset was 0.7. Thus, the study met the pre-specified criteria of 90% of center of mass distances and surface distances not greater than 2.00mm and average dice coefficient greater or equal to 0.6.

The results of this testing demonstrated that the SIS System has been fully verified and validated to perform as specified, and the subject device is as safe and effective for its intended use as the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence

In summary, the company's SIS System has the same intended use as the previously cleared SIS System 6.0.0. In addition, the subject SIS System has the same indications and similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicates. Although there are minor differences between the SIS System and its predicate device, those differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy. Thus, the SIS System is substantially equivalent.
