Intended Use
JBS-LVO is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of specific patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow. JBS-LVO uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. Identification of suspected positive findings is not for diagnostic use beyond notification. Specifically, the device analyzes CT angiogram images of the brain acquired in the acute setting and sends notifications to a neurovascular specialist that a suspected large vessel occlusion has been identified and recommends a review of those images. Images can be previewed through a mobile application. JBS-LVO is intended to analyze terminal ICA and MCA-M1 vessels for LVOs. Images that are previewed through the mobile application are compressed and for informational purposes only. They are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The JBS-LVO device does not alter the original medical image. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing non-compressed images on a diagnostic viewer and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation and relevant discussion with a treating physician before making care-related decisions or requests. JBS-LVO is limited to the analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. Limitations: The device does not process scans containing metallic artifacts.
Device Description
JBS-LVO is a radiological computer aided triage and notification (CAD) software package compliant with the DICOM standard. IBS-VV is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to analyze computed tomography angiography (CTA) images for findings suggestive of a suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. Specifically, JBS-LVO is optimized to evaluate occlusions of the intracranial carotid artery (ICA) and proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA-M1 segment). It is important to clarify that this quantification is solely used within the device's Al module to facilitation process. The output provided to heathcare professionals is stiritly a flag indicating the presence (positive) of an LVO, in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

More Information

Yes
The device description explicitly states that JBS-LVO uses an "artificial intelligence (Al) software algorithm utilizing convolutional neural network (CNN)" for image analysis.

No.
The device is a computer-aided triage and notification software that analyzes CT images for LVOs to notify specialists, not to directly treat or prevent a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states: "Identification of suspected positive findings is not for diagnostic use beyond notification" and "Image viewing through the mobile application interface is for informational purposes only and is not for diagnostic use." It also clarifies that "JBS-LVO is limited to the analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis."

Yes

The device description explicitly states that JBS-LVO is a "software package" and a "combination of software modules." It analyzes images and sends notifications, with the image analysis algorithm and mobile application being the described components. There is no mention of accompanying hardware that is part of the medical device itself.

Based on the provided information, it is highly likely that this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device, specifically a medical device software. Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to analyze medical images (CT angiograms of the brain) for findings suggestive of a specific clinical condition (large vessel occlusion). While it explicitly states it's a "notification-only, parallel workflow tool" and "not for diagnostic use beyond notification," the core function is the analysis of biological data (medical images) to provide information related to a disease state.
  • Device Description: It is described as a "radiological computer aided triage and notification (CAD) software package." CAD software that analyzes medical images for disease detection or characterization is typically regulated as a medical device.
  • Analysis of Biological Data: The device analyzes CT angiogram images, which are representations of the patient's anatomy and blood vessels. This is a form of biological data.
  • Relation to a Disease State: The analysis is specifically aimed at identifying "large vessel occlusion," which is a clinical condition.
  • Regulatory Context: The description mentions compliance with the DICOM standard and refers to a "Reference device, Rapid LVO (K221248)," which is a predicate device that has gone through the FDA clearance process. This strongly suggests that JBS-LVO is also intended to be a regulated medical device.
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of detailed performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, along with a description of a standalone performance evaluation against ground truth established by medical professionals, is characteristic of the validation required for medical devices, including IVDs.

Why it fits the definition of an IVD (specifically, a medical device software that performs an in vitro diagnostic function):

While the device doesn't directly analyze biological samples like blood or urine in the traditional sense of an IVD, the FDA's definition of an IVD includes devices that examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. Medical images are considered specimens derived from the human body. Software that analyzes these images to provide information related to a disease falls under the scope of IVDs, particularly as medical device software.

In summary:

Despite the emphasis on "notification-only" and "not for diagnostic use beyond notification," the fundamental function of JBS-LVO is to analyze medical images (biological data) to identify findings suggestive of a specific disease state (LVO). This places it squarely within the realm of medical devices that perform an in vitro diagnostic function, even if its output is intended for triage and notification rather than definitive diagnosis.

Therefore, based on the provided information, JBS-LVO is very likely considered an IVD device (specifically, a medical device software with an in vitro diagnostic function).

No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

JBS-LVO is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of specific patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow.

JBS-LVO uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation.

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

The images used to train the algorithm were sourced from datasets that included equipment from various manufacturers, such as Siemens, Philips, Toshiba, and GE. This dataset, contain imaging studies, was labeled by trained radiologists to identify the presence of LVO.

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

The performance of the device's Al algorithms was validated in a standalone performance evaluation, utilizing an independent dataset different from the one used for algorithm training. In this standalone performance evaluation, each case output from the JBS-LVO device was compared with a ground truth was determined by two ground truthers, with a third ground truther intervening in cases of disagreement. All truthers were US board-certified neuroradiologists.

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

A retrospective study has been conducted to assess the sensitivity and the image analysis algorithm and notification functionality of Triage LVO. Specifically, the study evaluated the Triage LVO image analysis in terms of sensitivity with respect to ground truth, as established by US board-certified neuro-radiologists, in detecting large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the brain.

The primary endpoints, sensitivity and specificity, both exceeded 80%. Specifically, the sensitivity was 91.8% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 85.8% to 95.8%. The specificity was 92.8% with a 95% CI of 87.2% to 96.5%. The area under the curve (AUC) was 95% CI of 93.0% to 98.1 %.

The secondary endpoint involves an analysis of time CTA to notification for LVO-positive cases. The total CTA-to-notification time for the JBS-LVO system ranged from 2.32 to 3.29 minutes (95% CI: 2.89 - 3.02). This performance is comparable to the Reference device, Rapid LVO (K221248), which reported a mean time of 3.18 minutes (95% CI. 3.11 - 3.25). JBS-LVO successfully meets the target time-to-notification of ≤ 3.5 minutes set by the Reference device.

Additionally, the time from CTA to notification using the JBS-LVO system successfully met the target goal.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Sensitivity: 91.8% with a 95% confidence interval (Cl) of 85.8% to 95.8%
Specificity: 92.8% with a 95% Cl of 87.2% to 96.5%
AUC: 95% Cl of 93.0% to 98.1 %

Intended Use/Indications for Use

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

JBS-LVO is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained cinicians to identify and communicate images of specific patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow.

JBS-LVO uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. Identification of suspected positive findings is not for diagnostic use beyond notification. the device analyzes CT angiogram images of the brain acquired in the acute setting and sends notifications to a neurovascular that a suspected large vessel occlusion has been identified and recommends a review of those images. Images can be previewed through a mobile application. JBS-LVO is intended to analyze terminal ICA and MCA-M1 vessels for LVOs.

lmages that are previewed through the mobile application are compressed and for informational purposes only. They are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The JBS-LVO device does not alter the original medical image. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing non-compressed images on a diagnostic viewer and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation and relevant discussion with a treating physician before making care-related decisions or requests. JBS-LVO is limited to the and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. Limitations: The device does not process scans containing metallic artifacts.

Indications for Use Comparison

Viz LVO and JBS-LVO are both designed to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in care interpretation. Since both devices are equally intended for use as a tool for assisting study triage within existing pathways and they do not replace any part of the current standard of care, there is no question about the effectiveness and safety of JBS-LVO compared to Viz LVO.

Technological Comparison

Both the subject and predicate devices utilize intelligence and machine learning (A/ML) algorithms to detect suspected large vessel occlusions (LVOs) on CTA imaging of the brain in the large vessels. Moreover, the software algorithm for the subject device is hosted on the similar architecture, automatically receives imaging in the same DICOM format, and uses similar mechanisms as the predicate device to identify applicable imaging for analysis. The subject and predicate devices are the same; both devices identify suspected LVOs and send notifications of suspected LVO findings from the same server.

The subject and predicate devices integrate the same mobile software functions and outputs, presented through the same mobile application. Users can conveniently receive notifications for patients with suspected LVOs, view a unique list of patients with a suspected LVO (as determined by the LVO Detection Algorithm), and examine the non-diagnostic CT scan of the patient through the JBS-LVO mobile application. The imaging viewing of CTA scans analyzed by the subject and predicate devices are subject to the same limitations, which means they are solely for informational purposes (for prioritization) and are not intention) and are not intended for diagnostic use.

Where the subject and predicate device device incorporates an advanced "Critical Pathway" (CP) feature within the IBS-LVO software system that enhances the management of clinical pathways for patient treatment. This feature is integrated into the mobile application interface, providing users with real-time patient care steps and facilitating effective communication among medical staff. Unlike the predicate device includes functionalities such as real-time updates, activity logs, and push notifications that are not present in the predicate device's in the subject device ensure that all parties

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

6

involved in patient care are consistently informed and cordinated, enhancing patient outcomes. Moreover, the inclusion of these advanced features does not introduce new safety or efficacy concerns, as confirmed by software testing which verified that the CP functionalities operateas expected. This integration of care management tools into the user interface thus represents a significant advancement over the predicate device, promoting greater transparency and efficiency in patient care management. These differences do not raise any new or different questions of safety and efficacy. As such, the JBS-LVO is considered substantially equivalent to Viz LVC.

In conclusion, JBS-LVO does not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device Viz LVO (K223042). Both devices are radiological computer-aided triage and notifications for use with CTA input. Hence, it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

ILK, Inc. conducted extensive performance validation testing and software verification of the JBS-LVO system. This performance validation testing demonstrated that the JBS-LVO system accurately represents key processing parameters under a range of clinically relevant parameters and perturbations associated with the intended use of the software. The documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA staff, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions," June 14, 2023.

ILK, Inc. performed a standalone performance with the §892.2080 special controls to show acceptance of the clinical performance of the JBS-LVO module. The test dataset used during the standalone performance evaluation was newly acquired, and appropriate steps were taken to ensure it was independent of the training dataset used in model development. Performance testing is intended to inform users about the algorithm's accuracy. As a result, we achieved the desired performance results, demonstrating that IBS-LVO is as safe and effective as a predicate device.

A retrospective study has been conducted to assess the sensitivity and the image analysis algorithm and notification functionality of Triage LVO. Specifically, the study evaluated the Triage LVO image analysis in terms of sensificity with respect to ground truth, as established by US board-certified neuro-radiologists, in detecting large vessel occusion (LVQ) in the brain.

The primary endpoints, sensitivity and specificily, both exceded 80%. Specifically, the sensitivity was 91.8% with a 95% confidence interval (CJ of 85.8% to 95.8%. The specificity was 92.8% with a 95% Cl of 87.2% to 96.5%. The area under the curve (AUC) was 95% Cl of 93.0% to 98.1 %.

The secondary endpoint involves an analysis of time CTA to notification for LVO-positive cases. The total CTA-tonotification time for the JBS-LVO system ranged from 2.32 to 3.29 minutes (95% Cl: 2.89 - 3.02). This performance is comparable to the Reference device, Rapid LVO (K221248), which reported a mean time of 3.18 minutes (95% Cl. 3.11 - 3.25). JBS-LVO successfully meets the target time-to-notification of ≤ 3.5 minutes set by the Reference device.

Additionally, the time from CTA to notification using the JBS-LVO system successfully met the target goal.

In conclusion, JBS-LVO, which has the same intentially equivalent technological, safety, and performance characteristics, is comparable to the legally marketed predicate device, Viz LVO (K223042). Therefore, JBS-LVO is substant to the selected predicate device and raises no questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
