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

The Bunkerhill AVC performance was validated in a stand-alone retrospective study for localization and agreement of the device output compared to the established ground truth. The pivotal dataset was curated from thirty-three (33) sites across three geographical regions in the United States. The primary endpoint was a Bland Altman agreement analysis and the secondary endpoint was Precision and Recall of the circular ROI. The acceptance criteria were derived from the performance of the predicate device and clinical literature in high impact journals that inter-reader agreement of manual segmentation.

The observed bias in the pivotal study was -5.15 AU and lower and upper limits agreements were -200.96 AU and 190.65 AU, respectively. As result, Bunkerhill AVC met the mean difference and limits of agreement acceptance criteria, thus satisfying the endpoints of the pivotal testing study. The low mean difference demonstrates that Bunkerhill AVC has a bias of low magnitude. The observed Precision was 0.826 (0.784, 0.863) and the observed Recall was 0.855 (0.818, 0.890). As a result, Bunkerhill AVC met the secondary endpoint acceptance criteria.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

  • Both the predicate and the subject device use deep-learning algorithms to identify the presence of ● calcification and estimate calcification.
  • Both devices analyze non-gated chest computed tomography (CT) images that are sent to the . software in DICOM format.
  • Both the predicate and the subject device quantify the calcification by generating a metric (an estimated score). These metrics are both based on the Agatston-equivalent score.
  • Both devices serve as support tools to provide information to the physician. Both can be used ondemand or optionally by the physician and do not provide a definitive diagnosis. Both devices do not replace clinical evaluation and do not alter the standard of care. Both require the physician to use this information to decide next steps and/or additional diagnostic work up.
  • Both devices provide a visual representation of the detected calcification for better ● explainability and for the physician to confirm the device output.

7

The following technological difference exists between the subject and predicate devices:

  • The predicate device estimates presence and quantity of coronary artery calcium and additionally defines 4 detection categories for reporting the coronary artery calcium score whereas the subject device only provides a binary output (presence/absence of calcification) and an estimated Agatston-equivalent score for aortic valve calcium. The predicate device provides a segmentation output, whereas the subject device provides a circular region of interest (ROI) around detected calcification.

Performance Data

Safety and performance of Bunkerhill AVC has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through Software Development and Validation & Verification Process to ensure performance according to specifications, User Requirements and Federal Regulations and Guidance documents, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions".

The Bunkerhill AVC performance was validated in a stand-alone retrospective study for localization and agreement of the device output compared to the established ground truth. The pivotal dataset was curated from thirty-three (33) sites across three geographical regions in the United States. The primary endpoint was a Bland Altman agreement analysis and the secondary endpoint was Precision and Recall of the circular ROI. The acceptance criteria were derived from the performance of the predicate device and clinical literature in high impact journals that inter-reader agreement of manual segmentation.

The observed bias in the pivotal study was -5.15 AU and lower and upper limits agreements were -200.96 AU and 190.65 AU, respectively. As result, Bunkerhill AVC met the mean difference and limits of agreement acceptance criteria, thus satisfying the endpoints of the pivotal testing study. The low mean difference demonstrates that Bunkerhill AVC has a bias of low magnitude. The observed Precision was 0.826 (0.784, 0.863) and the observed Recall was 0.855 (0.818, 0.890). As a result, Bunkerhill AVC met the secondary endpoint acceptance criteria.

10

The testing demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate as required by 21 CFR 807.92(b)(3) since both the predicate and subject device demonstrated that with the cited mean difference and limits of agreement, the primary endpoint for calcium score was met.

Conclusions

Bunkerhill AVC is substantially equivalent to the predicate iCAC Device (K230223). The subject device has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not alter the intended diagnostic use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In summary, any minor differences between Bunkerhill AVC and the iCAC Device do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
