Us2.ca is intended for use only in adult patients with increased left ventricular wall thickness, defined as an interventricular septal thickness (IVSd) or left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) ≥ 12mm. Us2.ca is not intended to provide a diagnosis and does not replace current standards of care. The results from Us2.ca are not intended to exclude the need for further follow-up on cardiac amyloidosis.
The Us2.ai platform is a clinical decision support tool that analyzes echocardiogram images in order to generate a series of AI-derived measurements. Fully automated, functional reporting with disease indications is also provided, in line with ASE & ESC guidelines. Echo images are sent to the Us2.ai platform where they are processed, analyzed and measured. Results that meet the confidence threshold for both image quality and measurement accuracy are passed through to a report for review by the clinical users. Report text is also generated and presented with the measurements, providing functional reporting and disease indications. The ultimate clinical decision and interpretation reside solely with the clinician. Us2.ca is an enhancement to Us2.ai existing Us2.v2 software, adding the capability to detect cardiac amyloidosis. It is an image post-processing analysis software device used for viewing and quantifying cardiovascular ultrasound images in DICOM format. The device is intended to aid diagnostic review and analysis of echocardiographic data, patient record management and reporting. The primary intended function of Us2.ca is to automatically identify patients who require additional follow-up for cardiac amyloidosis.

The final clinical decision of the results still remains with the clinicians.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving Us2.ca meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter:
Us2.ca Device Performance Study Summary
Us2.ca is an AI-powered software designed to analyze transthoracic cardiac ultrasound images to support healthcare practitioners in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis in adult patients with increased left ventricular wall thickness (IVSd or LVPWd ≥ 12mm). The device is not intended as a standalone diagnostic tool but as an adjunctive clinical decision support system.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The primary performance metrics for Us2.ca were sensitivity and specificity for the detection of cardiac amyloidosis. The benchmarks for acceptance criteria were established with reference to current standards of care and existing relevant publications.
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Derived from "current standards of care and existing relevant publications") | Reported Device Performance (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Implicitly met by reported performance within clinical relevance | 86.9% (84.2%-89.7%) |
| Specificity | Implicitly met by reported performance within clinical relevance | 87.4% (85.2%-89.7%) |
| Overall Yield | Sufficiently high | 87.1% |
Note: The document states "The benchmark used in deriving the acceptance criteria of Us2.ca was made with reference to current standards of care and existing relevant publications." However, explicit numerical acceptance thresholds for sensitivity and specificity are not provided in the excerpt. The reported performance metrics are presented as the results that met the unstated acceptance criteria.
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance
- Training Set Sample Size: 4,371 patients (2,241 CA Cases, 2,130 Control Cases)
- Test Set (External Validation) Sample Size: 1,647 patients (664 CA Cases, 983 Control Cases)
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: The external validation cohort was sourced from six clinical sites across the United States (USA) and Japan. The training data came from "entirely separate data providers," implying diverse origins as well.
- Retrospective or Prospective: All echocardiographic studies were retrospectively obtained from routine clinical evaluations.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") used to establish the ground truth for the test set. However, it indicates that the device "supports qualified cardiologists, sonographers, or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners in their diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis," implying that the ground truth would have been established by such qualified professionals.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe the specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) used for establishing the ground truth of the test set. It mentions the "testing data involved two cohorts: Cardiac Amyloidosis Group (CA Group) and Control Group," but not the process for classifying patients into these groups.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
The document does not indicate that a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done to assess how human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study focuses on the standalone performance of the Us2.ca algorithm.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
Yes, a standalone performance study was conducted. The reported sensitivity of 86.9% and specificity of 87.4% are results of the Us2.ca algorithm's performance on the test set, without human intervention or assistance during the evaluation phase. The overall yield of 87.1% also reflects the algorithm's ability to generate confident predictions.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The type of ground truth used was expert consensus / clinical diagnosis implicitly. Patients were categorized into a "Cardiac Amyloidosis Group (CA Group)" and "Control Group," indicating that established clinical diagnoses of cardiac amyloidosis (or lack thereof) were used as the reference standard. The "diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis" is the target of the device's support to "qualified cardiologists, sonographers, or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners."
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The sample size for the training set was 4,371 patients.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
The document states that the training and external validation datasets were "sourced from entirely separate data providers." While it doesn't explicitly detail the methodology for establishing ground truth for the training set, it can be inferred that it followed similar clinical diagnostic processes as the test set, leading to the classification of "CA Cases" and "Control Cases." This would typically involve clinical evaluation, imaging interpretation by experts, and potentially confirmatory tests as standard clinical practice for cardiac amyloidosis diagnosis.

Results that meet the confidence threshold for both image quality and measurement accuracy are passed through to a report for review by the clinical users. Report text is also generated and presented with the measurements, providing functional reporting and disease indications. The ultimate clinical decision and interpretation reside solely with the clinician.
Us2.ca is an enhancement to Us2.ai existing Us2.v2 software, adding the capability to detect cardiac amyloidosis. It is an image post-processing analysis software device used for viewing and quantifying cardiovascular ultrasound images in DICOM format. The device is intended to aid diagnostic review and analysis of echocardiographic data, patient record management and reporting.
The primary intended function of Us2.ca is to automatically identify patients who require additional follow-up for cardiac amyloidosis. In doing so, the primary benefit is to improve clinical echocardiographic workflow, enabling clinicians to generate and edit reports faster, with precision and with full control. The final clinical decision of the results still remains with the clinicians.
Indications for Use
Us2.ca processes acquired transthoracic cardiac ultrasound images to support qualified cardiologists, sonographers, or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners in their diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis. Us2.ca is intended for use only in adult patients with increased left ventricular wall thickness, defined as an interventricular septal thickness (IVSd) or left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) ≥ 12mm. Us2.ca is not intended to provide a diagnosis and does not replace current standards of care. The results from Us2.ca are not intended to exclude the need for further follow-up on cardiac amyloidosis.
Limitations
Please note the following limitations:
- Our software complements good patient care and does not exempt the user from the responsibility to provide supervision, clinically review the patient, and make appropriate clinical decisions.
- During image acquisition, inappropriate use of the echo machine, use of non-cardiac ultrasound probes, use of suboptimal settings (e.g., gain, contrast, or depth), or lack of electrocardiogram capture may lead to lower accuracy of the software.

Performance Data
Us2.ca was developed and tested in accordance with Us2.ai's Design Control processes. The device has been subject to extensive safety and performance testing. Non-clinical verification and validation test results established that the device meets its design requirements and intended use. Specifically, software verification was conducted at unit, module, and system integration levels. Risk management analysis generated multiple risk mitigation measures and verification activities. A Cybersecurity Analysis and data security testing were conducted to verify that data and patient protected health information security measures are included in the design of the software. A Human Factors/Usability Engineering study performed according to the principles of AAMI/ANSI HE75 was performed to validate the device's usability within the intended user population.
Us2.ca uses a video-based deep-learning approach for CA detection. The model analyzes Apical 4-Chamber (A4C) clips and identifies the presence of CA. The primary objective of the Us2.ca performance test protocol is to validate the performance of Us2.ca, developed for the detection of cardiac amyloidosis in apical four-chamber (A4C) echocardiographic images of adult patients with IVSd or LVPWd ≥ 12mm. The testing data involved two cohorts: Cardiac Amyloidosis Group (CA Group) and Control Group.
The primary performance metrics were sensitivity and specificity. The benchmark used in deriving the acceptance criteria of Us2.ca was made with reference to current standards of care and existing relevant publications.
Us2.ca device performance was evaluated in accordance to a retrospective case-control study across various sites in the USA and Japan. Data was obtained using a range of PACS system to

Results for Us2.ca
Us2.ca was developed using a training dataset comprising 4,371 patients and externally validated on an independent pooled dataset of 1,647 patients. The training and external validation datasets were sourced from entirely separate data providers, ensuring no overlap and maintaining full independence between development and evaluation. The external validation cohort included a demographically and geographically diverse population, collected from six clinical sites across the United States and Japan. All echocardiographic studies were retrospectively obtained from routine clinical evaluations and provided in standard DICOM format. Ultrasound data were obtained from GE, Philips, and Siemens systems to train the machine learning-based software device, but the testing data were only obtained from GE and Philips systems.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
Us2.ca is an image processing software which has similar intended use and indications for use statement as the predicate device. The two devices have similar technological characteristics: both use machine learning algorithms to automate the measurement of transthoracic cardiac images. As both the subject and predicate devices support the detection of cardiac amyloidosis, this does not in and of itself produce different questions of safety and effectiveness. This 510(k) submission includes information on the Us2.ca technological characteristics, as well as performance data and verification and validation activities. Given the similarity of both devices, the enclosed information demonstrates that Us2.ca is as safe and effective as the predicate, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
