Yes
The document explicitly states "Based on the same machine learning algorithm, multiple processing steps were added and the calculated features revised."
No.
The device is intended for non-invasive processing of ultrasound images to detect, measure, and calculate medical parameters. It aids in diagnosis and assessment but does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The device processes ultrasound images to detect, measure, and calculate relevant medical parameters for structures and function in patients with suspected disease, which directly aids in diagnosis.
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "software system for automated analysis of ultrasound examinations" and processes DICOM movies. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components or hardware-specific validation.
Based on the provided information, the LVivo platform is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- LVivo's Function: The LVivo platform analyzes ultrasound images of internal organs (heart and bladder). This is a form of in vivo imaging, meaning it is performed within the living body. The device processes these images to calculate parameters, but it does not analyze biological specimens.
Therefore, while the LVivo platform is a medical device that aids in diagnosis by processing medical images, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and cleared a PCCP for this specific device. The 'Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text' section explicitly states 'Not Found'.

Device Description
The LVivo platform is a software system for automated analysis of ultrasound examinations. Automated analysis of echocardiographic examinations is done using DICOM movies. The LVivo platform supports global and segmental evaluation of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart utilizing the apical views. Global LV function evaluation by ejection fraction (EF) is done based on two of the apical views: four-chamber (4CH) and two-chamber (2CH). Segmental LV function evaluation is done from three apical views 4CH, 2CH and three chamber (3CH) and supports segmental wall motion evaluation and strain. The LVivo platform supports also LV function evaluation from the parasternal views including global and segmental LV function analysis from the Short Axis (SAX) view and the global LV function analysis form the Parasternal Long Axis (PLAX) views.
In addition to the LV analysis, the cardiology toolbox includes a module for automated evaluation of the Right Ventricular function. The LVivo platform includes one additional non-cardiac module for the measurement of the bladder volume.
The LVivo Platform includes also two additional configurations: LVivo Seamless for offline analysis based on automatically selected views and LVivo IQS for real-time quality feedback during image acquisition

First test set: 170 examinations echo exams acquired with GE and Philips ultrasound devices. The exams were collected in three medical centers, 101 exams from a medical center in US, 69 exams from two medical centers in Israel. The patient population included 66% male with mean age of 60.5 ±14.9 years. BMI information was available for the examination in US and was reported to be 30.9 ± 8. Inclusion criteria: Age ≥18, sinus rhythm without multiple premature beats. Examinations in which more than one third of the endocardium is not visible in a plane (2CH/4CH/3CH) and patients with LBBB were excluded from the study. Ground truth was defined as WMSI average across three cardiologists specializing in echo.
-
Second test set: 101 patients collected from a hospital in Taiwan. The data was acquired with Philips ultrasound device. The patient population consisted of 62% males, with a mean age of 70.1 ± 16 years (range: 29–99 years). The average BMI was 23 ± 3.7, ranging from 16 to 35. All patients were of Asian ethnicity. Based on the echo reports, 65 patients (64%) had normal LV function, 28 (28%) had mildly or moderately impaired LV function, and 8 (8%) had severely impaired LV function. 65 patients (64%) had LV hypertrophy; LV size was reported as dilated for 11 patients (11%). Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) were indicated for 34 (33%) of the patients.

Non-Clinical Performance Evaluation:
The proposed modification of LVivo software application was tested in accordance with DiA Imaging Analysis internal procedures. DiA imaging Analysis tested the subject devices per the following standards to ensure the continued safe and effective performance:
• IEC 62304:2006+A1:2015 CSV, Medical Device Software – Software Life-Cycle Processes
· IEC 62366-1 Medical devices - Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices, 2015 + AMD 2020.
• IEC/TR80002-1:2009, Medical device software - Part 1: Guidance on the application of ISO 14971 to medical device software systems, software, and services information
Non-clinical verification testing was conducted to address the change and performance test data were provided to support the revision of the software application. The activities to assure the safe and effective performance of the software revision included, but are not limited to, the Requirements Review, Risk Analysis and System Testing.
Risk control measures are identified by the threat models and incorporated into the risk analysis process and SW design. The verification and validation testing including 3rd party libraries vulnerability assessment of the SW (SBOM) to ensure that cybersecurity related design requirement are implemented successfully. The company
has defined a Cybersecurity plan for ongoing cybersecurity maintenance.

Performance Evaluation:
A summary of the Performance Evaluation, which was based upon well-established test methods, demonstrated conformity to the intended use.
The validation was done using 170 examinations echo exams acquired with GE and Philips ultrasound devices. The exams were collected in three medical centers, 101 exams from a medical center in US, 69 exams from two medical centers in Israel. The patient population included 66% male with mean age of 60.5 ±14.9 years. BMI information was available for the examination in US and was reported to be 30.9 ± 8.

Global systolic LV function was normal in 48 (28%) of the patients. Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) were indicated in over 73 (42.9%) patients. Inclusion criteria: Age ≥18, sinus rhythm without multiple premature beats. Examinations in which more than one third of the endocardium is not visible in a plane (2CH/4CH/3CH) and patients with LBBB were excluded from the study.
Ground truth was defined as WMSI average across three cardiologists specializing in echo.
Results
A total of 166 exams were processed, automated analysis was possible in 139 exams (84%). The Specificity and sensitivity of WMSI were 79% and 82% respectively and the accuracy was found to be 82%. The Pearson correlation coefficient between automatically calculated WMSI was 0.89
The ICC calculation to compare between the automated WMSI and ground truth, was based on the exams that were processed automatically by the algorithm. In the ICC calculation to compare between the three experts, all patients in which WMSI was provided in the ground truth from all three experts were included. The comparison for

- Conclusion: The intended use and the technological characteristics in the current device are the same as those in the predicate device. Likewise, the modifications do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. The performance tests have been completed and successfully verify the validated performance of the subject device. Therefore, DiA Imaging Analysis has concluded the LVivo Software Application is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
