Intended Use

BioTraceIO Precision is intended to provide physicians with adjunctive information in their clinical assessment of ablation zone created by liver tissue ablation, as part of their overall post-procedure clinical assessment. BioTracelO Precision generates and depicts a map (BioTrace Map or BTM) post-procedure, that correlates with image findings seen with Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) obtained at 24hours post treatment. The information is provided in the 2D ultrasound plane. This is the only plane and location displayed. No imaging of other portions of the ablation zone is available.

During the ablation procedure BioTraceIO Precision overlays the reference ablation zone (RAZ) provided by the ablation device manufacturer on the ultrasound image.

BioTracelO Precision is indicated for use in patients undergoing radiofrequency (RF) or microwave (MW) liver ablation procedures.

BioTraceIO Precision is not intended for standalone prediction or for diagnostic purposes. BioTraceIO Precision does not support the use of multiple needles, either simultaneously or consecutively.

Manual ablation target contours and margins as defined by the user are not intended for diagnosis, to predict ablation volumes or predict ablation success.

The physician should not rely on BioTraceIO Precisions about patient management post treatment nor should BioTraceIO Precision serve as a substitute for any other assessment method, e.g., CT scans.

Device Description

BioTracelO Precision is a stand-alone software application with tools and features designed to assist users in their clinical assessment of ablation zone created by liver tissue ablation, as part of their overall post-procedure clinical assessment.

BioTracelO Precision is a software application that uses a proprietary computational algorithm to analyze ultrasound images captured during liver ablation treatment (microwave ablation [MWA] or radiofrequency ablation [RFA]), as depicted in standard abdominal ultrasound imaging.

The streamed ultrasound images are captured and analyzed by the BioTracelO algorithm. providing a visual display of the expected ablation zone, namely the Reference Ablation Zone (RAZ), calculated based on technical parameters provided by the ablation manufacturer datasheet. The RAZ is displayed during the procedure (Online Mode). BioTracelO Precision also provides a visual display of the estimated ablation zone correlative to the 24-hour CECT, namely the BioTrace Map (BTM), after the completion of the procedure (Offline Mode).

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for BioTraceIO Precision (2.0)

The BioTraceIO Precision (2.0) device is a software application designed to assist physicians in assessing the ablation zone created by liver tissue ablation procedures. The key functionality is to generate a "BioTrace Map" (BTM) that correlates with the ablation zone visualized on Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) obtained 24 hours post-treatment.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets these criteria:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Metric)Target PerformanceReported Device Performance (BioTraceIO Precision 2.0)
Mean DICE coefficient vs. 24-hour CECT (BTM)Equivalent to predicate device84.7 [95% CI: 83.07, 86.49] vs. 85.5 [95% CI: 83.63, 87.43] for predicate (p=0.2408; Wilcoxon p=0.11)
Mean DICE coefficient vs. 24-hour CECT (Optimized BTM vs. T=0 CECT)Significantly higher than T=0 CECT7.9 [95% CI: 4.2, 11.7) higher (p < 0.0001; Wilcoxon p < 0.0001)
BTM algorithm processing timeOptimized to reduce delay (display within 15 mins)Achieves display within 15 minutes post-procedure
RAZ algorithm implementationSame as BTM processing for optimization/maintenanceAdapted to have the same implementation as BTM
User Interface (UI) modificationsImproved user experienceImplemented (e.g., button layout improvements, selection of reference US frame for needle marking)
CybersecurityImproved securityImplemented (e.g., encryption of PHI, installation responsibilities)
Technical modificationsImplementedName change, file configuration change, architecture change

Note: The primary acceptance criterion for the algorithmic performance was demonstrating equivalent performance of the optimized BTM algorithm to the predicate BTM algorithm when correlated with 24-hour CECT. The improved performance against T=0 CECT was a favorable additional finding.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the exact number of cases or patients in the test set. However, it implicitly indicates that the test set included sufficient data to conduct statistical analyses (paired t-test, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test) and generate 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) for DICE coefficients, comparing the new algorithm with the predicate and T=0 CECT. This suggests a reasonably sized dataset.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated in the provided text (e.g., country of origin). The document states the data was used for "algorithmic testing," implying it was collected from actual patient procedures. The data collected was retrospectively analyzed for this validation.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated in the provided text.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated. The ground truth ("ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT (T=24 CECT)") is itself an objective imaging finding. While interpretation of CECT images is done by radiologists, the document doesn't detail the role or number of human experts for ground truth establishment outside of "ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT." It focuses more on the correlation between the device's output and this objective imaging finding.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not explicitly mentioned for the establishment of the 24-hour CECT ground truth. The ground truth is described as the "ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT." It implies that this CECT visualization is the accepted reference standard.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

  • MRMC Study: No, the provided text does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study where human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study focuses purely on the equivalence of the device's algorithmic performance (BioTraceIO Precision 2.0 BTM) against a predefined ground truth (24-hour CECT) when compared to a predicate device. The device provides "adjunctive information" and is "not intended for standalone prediction or for diagnostic purposes," which aligns with the absence of an MRMC study assessing human reader improvement.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

  • Standalone Performance: Yes, the algorithmic testing described is a standalone performance evaluation of the BioTraceIO Precision (2.0) BTM algorithm. The DICE coefficient was calculated by comparing the algorithm's output directly to the 24-hour CECT images, without a human in the loop for the performance measurement itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth used was imaging data, specifically the "ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT (T=24 CECT)." This is considered a clinical reference standard for assessing the success and extent of liver ablation.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Training Set Sample Size: The document does not provide the sample size for the training set. The focus of this 510(k) summary is on the validation of the updated device (BioTraceIO Precision 2.0) against its predicate, rather than the initial development and training specifics.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not explicitly stated in the provided text. For a device like BioTraceIO Precision, it is highly likely that similar to the testing phase, the training set ground truth would have also been established using 24-hour CECT imaging to precisely delineate the ablation zones, potentially with expert radiologist annotations or consensus. However, the document does not elaborate on this.

Performance Data

BioTraceIO Precision is validated and verified against its user needs and intended use by the successful execution of planned performance, functional and algorithmic testing included in this submission.

The results of functional and algorithmic testing demonstrate that BioTracelO Precision meets the user needs and requirements of the device, which are considered to be substantially equivalent to those of the listed predicate device.

Alqorithmic testing was performed on the BTM alqorithm, to ensure that performance and accuracy was as expected. The validation analysis resulted in a mean DICE coefficient of 84.7 [95% C1: 83.07, 86.49] and 85.5 [95% Cl: 83.63, 87.43] for the optimized BTM and predicate BTM, respectively, as compared to ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT (T=24 CECT). This result was tested using both paired t-test (p = 0.2408), as well as Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test (p = 0.11). Both methodologies yielded similar non-significant p-values, indicating no

significant differences in measurement of mean dice coefficients between the two algorithms. The optimized BTM also demonstrated a significantly (paired t-test p < 0.0001; Wilcoxon Signed-Rank p < 0.0001) higher mean DICE coefficient compared to T=0 CECT when both were compared to T=24 CECT, with a mean within-tumor difference of 7.9 [95% CJ: 4.2, 11.7) in favor of the optimized BTM.

These results correspond to the intended use of the device in correlating with the ablation zone visualization on T=24 CECT and supports its clinical utility.

The mean DICE coefficient for BioTracelO Precision BTM compared to T=24 CECT was not significantly lower than the mean DICE coefficient for BioTracelO Lite BTM versus T=24 CECT. This result highlights that BioTracelO Precision BTM demonstrates equivalent performance in correlation of ablation zone visualized on T=24 CECT compared to the predicate BTM.

Overall, the validation has successfully demonstrated that the optimized BTM demonstrates equivalent performance to the predicate BTM, and that it is safe and effective in estimating the area of ablation zone as visualized at 24-hour post procedure CECT scan.

Test planning was performed in accordance with standard testing procedures and quidelines as listed in internal development processes.

Verification and validation testing were carried out as per planned arrangements in the Project Test Plan and Phase Test Plan(s) to ensure that design outputs meet design inputs and that this version

{11}------------------------------------------------

of BioTracelO Precision meets the product acceptance criteria. These are in accordance with the company's Design Control process in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820.30, which included testing that fulfills the requirements of FDA "Guidance on Software Contained in Medical Devices" and adherence to the DICOM standard.

Conclusions

The BioTracelO Precision (V2.0) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTracelO Precision (DEN230020). The BioTracelO Precision has the same intended use, and principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the BioTracelO Precision and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Algorithmic testing demonstrates that the BioTraceIO Precision (V 2.0) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTracelO Precision (DEN230020). Thus, the BioTraceIO Precision is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
