Intended Use
Imbio IQ-UIP is a computer-aided software indicated for use in passively notifying specialists associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) centers of radiological findings suggestive of radiological usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in non-contrast, chest CT scans of adults. Imbio IQ-UIP uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and identify positive findings on a worklist application separate from and in parallel to the standard of care radiological image interpretation. Identification of positive findings include summary reports with a clinical guideline reference for the definition of UIP pattern that are meant for informational purposes only. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of Imbio IQ-UIP are used to notify specialists at an ILD center of radiological findings that may be consistent with UIP. These specialists are qualified clinicians experienced in evaluating chest CTs for ILD. Input images originate from within the same hospital network associated with the ILD center. The results of Imbio IQ-UIP are intended to be used in conjunction with additional patient information and based on the user's professional judgment, to assist with the review of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full image series and making final clinical determinations.

Identification of positive findings include summary reports with a clinical guideline reference for the definition of UIP pattern that are meant for informational purposes only. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The development of the deep learning inference model utilized anonymized, multi-center, retrospective, volumetric chest CT scans from several different, private and public data sources including multiple hospitals, clinical imaging centers, and imaging databases. Chest CT datasets were identified where each dataset represented an individual subject and acquisition. Data was subdivided into "bins" between the two stages of model development roughly 80%:20%: 1) model training and validation (i.e., hyper-parameter tuning) and 2) model testing (i.e. performance assessment). Site independence was maintained for several of the databases with clinical location data labels by randomly assigning each clinic location an integer value between 1 and 1000. Then, increasing from the lowest to highest random integer value, all data sets from a specific clinic location were assigned to the training bin until 80% of the total number of datasets from a database had been assigned to the training bin. The remaining were assigned to the testing bin. The testing data set was locked and quarantined from the datasets used in the device's model training and validation. The results of Imbio IQ-UIP are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on the user's professional judgment, to assist with the review of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full image series and making final clinical determinations.

The device description explicitly states "Imbio IQ-UIP is a computer-aided software". The summary focuses entirely on the software's function, algorithm, data analysis, and performance metrics, with no mention of associated hardware components being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Imbio IQ-UIP's Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device analyzes radiological images (CT scans) and provides notifications and summary reports based on these images. It explicitly states it is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device.
  • Nature of the Input: The input is medical imaging data (CT scans), not biological specimens from the human body.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to passively notify specialists of potential findings, not to directly diagnose or provide information based on the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, Imbio IQ-UIP falls under the category of medical imaging software or computer-aided detection/notification software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

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

The remaining [20% of data sets] were assigned to the testing bin. The testing data set was locked and quarantined from the datasets used in the device's model training and validation.
These data were collected from 804 individual patient images.
Five experts, U.S. board-certified radiologists ("truthers") practicing within the United States performed ground truthing of the performance datasets. Each truther had a minimum of 5+ years experience evaluating chest CTs for ILDs and a clinical familiarity with using the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT diagnostic categories for UIP pattern. None of the enrolled truthers were involved in the development of the algorithm/device in any way, thus ensuring independence of testing and training data or other activities.

Description of the Device

lmbio IQ-UIP is a computer-aided software indicated for use in notifying specialists associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Centers of radiological findings suggestive of radiological Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) in non-contrast, chest CT scans of adults.

Imbio IQ-UIP uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and identify positive findings on a worklist application separate from and in parallel to the standard of care radiological image interpretation. Identification of positive findings include summary reports with a clinical guideline reference for the definition of UIP pattern that are meant for informational purposes only. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device.

The development of the deep learning inference model utilized anonymized, multi-center, retrospective, volumetric chest CT scans from several different, private and public data sources including multiple hospitals, clinical imaging centers, and imaging databases. Chest CT datasets were identified where each dataset represented an individual subject and acquisition. Data was subdivided into "bins" between the two stages of model development roughly 80%:20%: 1) model training and validation (i.e., hyper-parameter tuning) and 2) model testing (i.e. performance assessment). Site independence was maintained for several of the databases with clinical location data labels by randomly assigning each clinic location an integer value between 1 and 1000. Then, increasing from the lowest to highest random integer value, all data sets from a specific clinic location were assigned to the training bin until 80% of the total number of datasets from a database had been assigned to the training bin. The remaining were assigned to the testing bin. The testing data set was locked and quarantined from the datasets used in the device's model training and validation.
