The SpotLight / SpotLight Duo is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission projection data taken at different angles. The system has the capability to image cardiovascular and thoracic anatomies, including the heart, in a single rotation. The system may acquire data using Axial, Cine and Cardiac scan techniques from patients of all ages (DLR is limited for patient use of 2 years). These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories.
This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of trans-axial and reformatted planes. The system is indicated for x-ray Computed Tomography imaging of cardiovascular and thoracic anatomies that fit in the scan field-of-view.
The Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Option for SpotLight / SpotLight Duo is indicated for using low dose CT for lung cancer screening. The screening must be conducted with the established program criteria and protocols (for medium and large patients) that have been approved and published by a governmental body or a professional medical society. Information from professional societies related to lung cancer screening can be found but is not limited to: American College of Radiology® (ACR) - resources and technical specification American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) - Lung Cancer Screening Protocols; radiation management. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information. The DLIR and ASIR-CV algorithms are not compatible with the Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening option.
The device output is useful for diagnosis of disease or abnormality and for planning of therapy procedures.
The Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening (LD LCS) option is an indication being added to the existing Arineta scanners for SpotLight and SpotLight Duo, previously cleared by the FDA (K230370, K213465).
There are not any functional, performance, feature, or design changes required for the CT systems to which the option is applied.
This option includes scan protocols with CTDI that comply with AAPM's requirements for Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening.
No Hardware modifications and minor Software modifications (for compatibility with the Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening protocols) are required for the subject device, which includes the following LD LCS protocol characteristics:
• Lung Cancer Screening protocols for medium and large patients according to AAPM's definitions.
· Lung Cancer Screening protocols option will be activated by service or production personnel (no need for additional installation, option activation only).
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device's performance, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Bench Testing) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Image Quality Metrics | |
| CT Number Accuracy | Maintained in LCS protocol, comparable to predicate, within ~3 Hounsfield Units. |
| CT Number Uniformity | Comparable to predicate. |
| Image Noise (Standard Deviation) | NPS curve comparable to predicate, with noise reduction slightly shifting the NPS curve to lower frequencies. |
| Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) | Resolution for LCS protocols maintained compared to predicate. |
| Visual Resolution/Image Artifacts | Not explicitly quantified, but generally assessed as part of overall image quality. |
| Noise Power Spectrum (NPS) | NPS curve comparable to predicate, with noise reduction slightly shifting the NPS curve to lower frequencies. |
| Slice Thickness | Not explicitly quantified in performance, but implied to be maintained for effective nodule bounding. |
| Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) | Linearly related among LCS protocol and predicate device (with/without MBAF2). Comparable to reference device. |
| Nodule Detectability (smallest) | All nodule types in Lung Phantom, including smallest (4mm) and lowest contrast nodules, are detectable. |
| Nodule Sizing Accuracy | Nodule size similar between LCS protocol, predicate, and reference devices, and according to LCS phantom specification. |
| Clinical Acceptability | |
| Diagnostic Quality of Images for LD LCS | All fourteen (14) cases evaluated as diagnostic for the indications for use. |
| Detectability of Relevant Findings | Readers reported various pathologies, including very small nodules (2mm), enabling detection of findings relevant to LD LCS. |
| Compliance with AAPM guidelines for medium and large patients | Protocols comply with AAPM's requirements for Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Bench Testing: Not explicitly stated as a number of phantom scans, but described as "extensive bench testing" using "standard phantoms" and a "semi-anthropomorphic clinical simulation lung phantom."
- Clinical Image Quality Assessment: Fourteen (14) cases.
- Data Provenance:
- Bench Testing: Internal laboratory testing ("extensive bench testing").
- Clinical Image Quality Assessment: Collected from two (2) U.S. sites. The text doesn't specify if it was retrospective or prospective, but the phrasing "were collected" often implies retrospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Number of Experts: Two (2) U.S. board-certified radiologists.
- Qualifications: U.S. board-certified radiologists. No specific years of experience are mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The provided text only states "a clinical image quality assessment was performed by two U.S. board-certified radiologists." It does not specify an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none). It implies both radiologists performed the assessment, but not how disagreements (if any) were resolved or if their readings were merged.
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The study described focuses on whether the device's low-dose protocols produce diagnostic-quality images and maintain image quality compared to the predicate device, not on human reader performance with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The "device" in this context is the CT scanner itself with an added low-dose lung cancer screening option, which includes specific scan protocols and minor software modifications for compatibility. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described are for the performance of the CT system under these low-dose conditions, as an image acquisition and reconstruction device. It is not an AI algorithm that provides diagnostic readings independently. Therefore, the concept of a "standalone" AI performance study is not directly applicable here. The performance evaluated is the image quality produced by the system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Bench Testing: Phantom specifications or known values within the phantoms (e.g., specific nodule sizes, CT number values of materials). Comparison was also made against a "reference device" (GE Revolution CT).
- Clinical Image Quality Assessment: The "ground truth" for the clinical evaluation was the qualitative assessment by the two board-certified radiologists that the images were "diagnostic for the indications for use" and "enable the detection of findings relevant to LD LCS," including 2mm nodules. This is essentially expert consensus on clinical diagnostic utility. It does not refer to histopathological ground truth for nodules, for example.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not mention any training set size. This is because the submission describes an option for an existing CT system (SpotLight/SpotLight Duo) to perform Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening. It does not describe a new AI algorithm that requires a separate training set. The changes are primarily in scan protocols and minor software adjustments for compatibility. The core image reconstruction algorithms (Modified FDK, MBAF, MBAF2) are pre-existing.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
As no training set is mentioned (since it's not a new AI algorithm being trained), this information is not applicable.

{6}------------------------------------------------
and subsequent literature, for further information. The DLIR and ASIR-CV algorithms are not compatible with the Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening option.
The device output is useful for diagnosis of disease or abnormality and for planning of therapy procedures.
VII. INDICATIONS FOR USE COMPARISON
The proposed devices do not constitute a new intended use. There is a minor change in the indication for use - the addition of the LD LCS Option, references to ACR and AAPM guidelines, and specific DLIR and ASIR-CV limitations for that option.
VIII. TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON
The technological characteristics of the SpotLight/SpotLight Duo with Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening (LD LCS) option and the predicate currently marketed SpotLight/ SpotLight Duo are substantially the same, with no functional, performance, feature, or design changes, except for the added LD LCS scan protocols. The proposed LD LCS option has substantially the same reconstruction technology compared to the predicate currently marketed device. The DLIR and ASIR-CV algorithms are not compatible with the Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening option, as reflected in the Indications for Use.
There is no new technology related to these LCS protocols or their operation. There are no significant differences that may raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. The proposed LD LCS scan protocols have low dose characteristics for medium and large patients and comply with the relevant AAPM CTDI dose values. These parameters were chosen to optimize image quality while minimizing the dose.
The determination of substantial equivalence of the proposed new LD LCS protocols to the cleared predicate device was further evaluated on the bench testing. The new LDCT LCS protocols for Arineta systems were tested and validated by using traditional Image Quality (IQ) metrics on standard phantoms, and compared to the IQ results of the cleared predicate standard dose device. The results indicate maintaining the proposed device's LD LCS protocols for all IQ metrics, including accuracy, uniformity, resolution, contrast scale, and NPS frequencies. Testing was also performed using a semi-anthropomorphic clinical simulation lung phantom where the CNR and nodule sizing comparisons were performed for Arineta systems using their new LDCT LCS protocols. The results showed that the nodules' level of conspicuity and accurate sizing were maintained for the proposed device LDCT LCS protocols. Therefore, it indicated that the proposed devices LD LCS protocols and predicate devices were substantially equivalent.
A table comparing the key features of the subject and predicate device is provided below.

Image Quality Metrics
CT number accuracy - In a low signal situation such as with LD LCS, the CT nurser measured in LCS, the CT number may be a reference against potentially calcified nodules.
CT number unformity - In a low signal studiont CT number unformity throughout the lung and various structures is imporant for more robust detectability of nodules. Uniformity is needed to maintain CT number separation between structures.
Image nose (standard deviation) - As dose in the image inceases. If this noise becomes tool arge, nodule deceability and sizing mesurement may be compromised.
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) - MTF is a measure of the system. Notules in the lung are high contrast objects and therefor, MTF should be preserved at lower dose conditions.
Visual Resolution/Image Artiacion of images to assess their visual resolution using high ontrast bar patterns and evaluation of the degree of affiacts (e.g., lov signal streaks, bean hardening), These test of the high contrast delection task of relatively small objects for this application. Streak or beam hardening may obscure pathology and affect CT number accuracy.
Noise Power Spectrum (NPS) - Sinilar to standes in nose texture may result in nodule detection becoming more challenging especially if there is a significant shift in the frequency of the noise, and/or an increase in amplitude of the NPS plot.
Sice Thickness - The ability to produce sice think of the sice sensibility profile) that are close to thiskness is important in defining der edges and boundaries of the nodule and in nodule sizing.
Contrast to Noise (CNR) - Sufficient (JNR is needid nodules in the lung. This metric is similar o SMR but accums for the contrast between an object and the background. Arineta believes this is the primary figure of metric to evaluate nodule detectability.
The image quality netirs were used for evalual equivalence. Each metric is provided with a description of the impactiererance of the metir for LCS . All IQ metrics used for both the proposed and the predicate device are the same.

IX. NON-CLINICAL TESTING SUMMARY
Arineta Ltd. has conducted extensive bench testing on the Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) option for the Spotlight Duo CT systems. Additional testing was conducted on Arineta's current qualified SpotLight Duo CT systems cleared in K230370 (the predicate device) and the LCS option of GE Revolution CT (the reference device) for comparison.
Non-clinical tests of the LCS protocols for Spotlight/Spotlight Duo systems have demonstrated that all image quality metrics are substantially equivalent to the predicate:
-
Uniformity and CT numbers for LCS protocols are maintained in the LCS protocol, comparable to the predicate device, and are within ~3 Hounsfield Units.
-
The Noise Power Spectrum (NPS) curve is comparable to the predicate device, with noise reduction slightly shifting the NPS curve to the lower frequencies in both LCS protocol and in the predicate device.
-
Resolution for LCS protocols is maintained compared to the predicate device.
-
Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) was measured using the LCS phantom, which includes nodules with different types, HU and sizes. The CNR is linearly related among the LCS protocol and the predicate device, with and without noise reduction (MBAF2). The CNR is comparable to the reference device.
-
All nodule types in the Lung Phantom, including the smallest (4mm) and lowest contrast nodules, are detectable. The nodule size is similar between LCS protocol, predicate, and reference devices, and is according to the LCS phantom specification.
X. CLINICAL TESTING SUMMARY
To confirm that images are clinically acceptable for use, a clinical image quality assessment was performed by two U.S. board-certified radiologists. The data evaluated were collected from two (2) U.S sites and included Low-Dose lung screening exams scanned with Arineta's SpotLight systems. The results show that all fourteen (14) cases, representing medium and large patient sizes per AAPM guidelines (0.25 to 2.8 mGy range has not been clinically evaluated), were evaluated as diagnostic for the indications for use. Moreover, the readers reported various pathologies, including very small nodules (2mm), therefore, the images enable the detection of findings relevant to LD LCS.
Based on the image assessment, it can be concluded that LCS using Low-Dose protocols on the SpotLight/ SpotLight Duo systems generates sufficient diagnostic-quality images.
The clinical image evaluation resulted in the expected detectability of the proposed SpotLight/ SpotLight Duo with LD LCS option, without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness concerns compared to the currently marketed predicate device.
XI. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the Indications for Use and technological characteristics comparisons, non-clinical performance bench testing, and clinical image quality evaluation, the SpotLight Duo with LD LCS option has a safety and effectiveness profile, that is similar to the predicate device. Thus, the proposed SpotLight/ SpotLight Duo with Low Dose Lung Cancer Screening Option is substantially equivalent to the predicate marketed Arineta's CT systems.
