Omni Legend's major components include PET gantry / detector, GEHC commercially available Revolution Maxima CT system (K192686), patient table, operator console / workspace, computing hardware, power distribution unit, system software, and image reconstruction software. The operator console and system software control image acquisition and reconstruction, image display and post processing analysis, protocol and patient management, CT dose display, networking, filming, etc.
Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study information for the GE Omni Legend device, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in a quantifiable, pass/fail format for the clinical reader study. However, it does specify types of evaluations and the general outcome.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Details of Evaluation | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Reader Study - Diagnostic Image Quality | Assessment of overall diagnostic image quality using a Likert Scale. | "All of the physicians attested that their assessments demonstrated acceptable diagnostic results." |
| Clinical Reader Study - Artifact Correction | Evaluation of the ability of the "Enhanced AC" option to correct attenuation artifacts. | The study's results "support the determination of substantial equivalence" and the clinical experts' assessments "demonstrated acceptable diagnostic results," implying successful artifact correction. |
| Non-Clinical Testing (Bench Testing) | * System Sensitivity * Noise Equivalent Count Rate (NECR) * Contrast Recovery and Contrast to Noise Ratio * Spatial Resolution * Quantitation * Dose / Time Reduction (Acquisition and Image Quality) * Design for Scalability * Verification of PET Digital Gating cleared performance claims * Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of PET images corrected with Enhanced AC, including demonstration of improvement in lesion quantitation. | "All testing and results did not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness than associated with predicate device. GE believes the proposed Omni Legend is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to our currently marketed system Omni Legend (K221932)." This implies successful completion of all bench tests with results comparable to the predicate. |
2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document states that the clinical reader study used "a clinically representative sample for evaluating the performance of Omni Legend's Enhanced AC option." However, the specific number of cases or patient exams in this test set is not provided.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The document refers to "PET/CT exams acquired on Omni Legend," implying prospective acquisition on the device, but does not specify the country of origin. It also doesn't explicitly state whether the data was retrospective or prospective, though "acquired on Omni Legend" suggests prospective collection for the study.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: The clinical reader study involved "NM physicians." The specific number of physicians is not provided.
- Qualifications of Experts: The experts were identified as "NM physicians" (Nuclear Medicine physicians). No further details on their years of experience or board certifications are given.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe an adjudication method for the clinical reader study. It states that "Each image was read by NM physicians who provided an assessment of overall diagnostic image quality... as well as the ability of Enhanced AC to correct artifacts." This suggests individual assessments rather than a consensus or adjudicated ground truth process involving the readers themselves.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- The document describes a clinical reader study but does not explicitly state that it was an MRMC comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study primarily focused on evaluating the "Enhanced AC" software option, with readers assessing diagnostic image quality and artifact correction.
- Effect Size: As it wasn't explicitly an MRMC study designed to measure human improvement with AI assistance, no effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is reported. The study's conclusion is about the acceptability of the device's enhanced features.
6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)
The document does not explicitly describe a standalone (algorithm only, without human-in-the-loop) performance study for the "Enhanced AC" option. The clinical study involved human readers assessing the images produced by the system (which includes the Enhanced AC), but it wasn't an isolated evaluation of the algorithm's output without human interpretation. The non-clinical testing included "qualitative and quantitative evaluation of PET images corrected with Enhanced AC, including demonstration of improvement in lesion quantitation," which could be considered a form of standalone evaluation, but it's not a clinical performance study.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
For the clinical reader study, the ground truth was based on the expert assessment/consensus of NM physicians regarding the "overall diagnostic image quality" and the "ability of Enhanced AC to correct artifacts" and whether these assessments demonstrated "acceptable diagnostic results." It is not explicitly stated if pathology, outcomes data, or another objective measure was used to establish ground truth for this specific reader study. For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" would be established by physical measurements and phantom studies comparing results against known values as per NEMA standards.
8. Sample Size for Training Set
The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size used for training the algorithms (e.g., "Enhanced AC" or "Precision DL").
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established
The document does not provide any information on how the ground truth for any training set was established.

Determination of Substantial Equivalence
Summary of Non-Clinical, Design Control Testing
Omni Legend has successfully completed the design control testing per our quality system. No additional hazards were identified, and no unexpected test results were observed. Omni Legend was designed and is manufactured under the Quality System Regulations of 21CFR 820 and ISO 13485. GE believes that the extensive bench testing and the physician evaluations performed are sufficient for FDA's substantial equivalence determination.
Omni Legend has been independently tested and conforms with IEC 60601-1 and its applicable Collateral and Particular Standards including IEC 60601-1-2, 60601-2-44, as well as performance testing per NEMA NU 2-2018.
The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system:
- Risk Analysis
- · Required Reviews
- Design Reviews
- Testing on unit level (Module verification)
- · Integration testing (System verification)
- · Performance testing (Verification)
- · Safety testing (Verification)
- · Simulated use testing (Validation)
Additional Non-Clinical Testing
Additional engineering bench testing was performed to support substantial equivalence, demonstrate performance, and substantiate the product claims. Where applicable the testing was conducted according to NEMA NU-2-2018. This included testing for:
- = System Sensitivity
- Noise Equivalent Count Rate (NECR)
- Contrast Recovery and Contrast to Noise Ratio
- Spatial Resolution
- Quantitation
- Dose / Time Reduction (Acquisition and Image Quality)
- = Design for Scalability
Testing of PET Digital Gating (K180318) verified use with Omni Legend and included substantiation of PET Digital Gating cleared performance claims. Testing of Enhanced AC included qualitative and quantitative evaluation of PET images corrected with Enhanced AC, including demonstration of improvement in lesion quantitation.
All testing and results did not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness than associated with predicate device. GE believes the proposed Omni Legend is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to our currently marketed system Omni Legend (K221932).

Image /page/9/Picture/1 description: The image contains the GE Healthcare logo. The logo consists of a circular emblem on the left and the text "GE HealthCare" on the right. The emblem is a stylized version of the letters "GE" intertwined within a circle. The text is in a simple, sans-serif font and is colored in the same shade of purple as the emblem.
Clinical Testing
A clinical reader study using PET/CT exams acquired on Omni Legend was conducted. The exams constituted a clinically representative sample for evaluating the performance of Omni Legend's Enhanced AC option. The results of the study support the determination of substantial equivalence. Each image was read by NM physicians who provided an assessment of overall diagnostic image quality using a Likert Scale as well as the ability of Enhanced AC to correct artifacts. All of the physicians attested that their assessments demonstrated acceptable diagnostic results.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The modifications associated with proposed Omni Legend do not create a new Intended Use or Indications for Use and represent equivalent technological characteristics, with no changes to the control mechanisms, operating principle, and energy type. GEHC's quality system's design verification, and risk management processes did not identify any new questions of safety or effectiveness, hazards, unexpected results, or adverse effects stemming from the changes to the predicate.
Based on development under GEHC's quality system, the successful system and software verification and validation testing, conformance to standards, the additional engineering bench testing, and the clinical reader study demonstrates that the proposed Omni Legend is substantially equivalent to, and hence as safe and as effective for its Intended Use, as the legally marketed predicate device.
