AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for PathPresenter Clinical Viewer

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Pixelwise ComparisonThe 95th percentile of the pixel-wise color difference in any image pair is less than 3 CIEDE2000 (< 3 ΔE00) when comparing the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer (Subject Viewer) with the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner with NZViewMD viewer (Predicate Viewer).The device demonstrates substantial equivalence, with the 95th percentile of the pixel-wise color difference being less than 3 CIEDE2000 (< 3 ΔE00) for all comparisons (PathPresenter Clinical Viewer on Microsoft Edge vs. Predicate, and PathPresenter Clinical Viewer on Google Chrome vs. Predicate).
Turnaround Time (TAT) Study - Image LoadingLoading of the first image visible to the user: ≤ 8 secondsActual: 2.72 seconds
Turnaround Time (TAT) Study - PanningLoading of the whole field of view after panning: ≤ 2 secondsActual: 1.22 seconds
Turnaround Time (TAT) Study - ZoomingLoading of the whole field of view after zooming: ≤ 3 secondsActual: 0.60 seconds
Measurement AccuracyAll measured values match predetermined measurements relevant to the zoom level of the viewer, with no allowable deviation.All measured values matched the reference values exactly, with zero observed error across multiple magnification settings for both length and area measurements.
Human Factors StudyCritical tasks required for operation are performed accurately and without any use-related errors that could result in patient harm or diagnostic inaccuracies. Device meets HFE/UE requirements and is acceptable for deployment use in clinical settings.Validation results confirmed that critical tasks were performed accurately and without any use-related errors that could result in patient harm or diagnostic inaccuracies. Observed usability issues were considered easily mitigable through design improvements, training, and labeling, posing no unacceptable risk.

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

  • Pixelwise Comparison:
    • Sample Size: Images from 30 FFPE tissue glass slides, with 3 Regions of Interest (ROIs) selected per slide, and 2 zoom levels (20x and 40x) per ROI. This resulted in 180 total image pairs (30 slides x 3 ROIs x 3 Zoom Levels [implied, likely meaning 20x, 40x, and perhaps an overview] x 2 Browsers).
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally regulatory submissions imply real-world pathology samples. It is not explicitly stated whether the data was retrospective or prospective, nor the country of origin.
  • Turnaround Time Study:
    • Sample Size: Minimum of 20 slides.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified.
  • Measurement Accuracy:
    • Sample Size: An image of a calibration scale slide with objects of known sizes.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified.
  • Human Factors Study:
    • Sample Size: "Representative users" (board-certified pathologists). No specific number provided.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified.

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

  • Pixelwise Comparison: One board-certified Pathologist was used to pre-identify the Regions of Interest (ROIs). Their specific years of experience are not mentioned beyond "board-certified Pathologist." This pathologist was blinded to the rest of the pixel-wise comparison study.
  • Measurement Accuracy: The ground truth was established by using an image of a calibration scale slide with objects of known sizes. This does not involve human experts for ground truth establishment.
  • Human Factors Study: "Board-certified pathologists" served as representative users, performing critical tasks. They were the subjects of the study, not necessarily establishing ground truth for device performance but rather testing usability and safety in a clinical context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for establishing ground truth for the pixelwise comparison or measurement accuracy tests.
  • For the pixelwise comparison, the individual pathologist selected ROIs, but the automated comparison of pixel differences is a technical measurement against a predicate, not requiring multi-expert adjudication.
  • For measurement accuracy, it was a direct comparison against known values from a calibration slide.
  • The Human Factors study involved observations of user performance, not adjudication of diagnostic interpretations.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Reader Improvement with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed, or at least not described in this summary. The PathPresenter Clinical Viewer is described as a "software intended for viewing and managing whole slide images" and an "aid to pathologists." It is a viewer, not an AI diagnostic algorithm that provides an independent reading or an assistive output that would typically be evaluated in an MRMC study comparing human performance with and without AI assistance. The studies focused on technical equivalence to a predicate viewer and usability.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • The document describes standalone performance tests for certain aspects of the software, particularly the pixelwise comparison and measurement accuracy. These tests evaluated the software's output (pixel rendering, measurement values) directly against a known reference (predicate viewer, calibration slide) without human interpretation as part of the core evaluation criteria.
  • However, the overall device is an "aid to pathologists" implying human-in-the-loop use. There is no mention of the software making diagnostic recommendations or interpretations by itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Pixelwise Comparison: The ground truth for comparison was the image output from the predicate device (Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner with NZViewMD viewer). The "ground truth" here is the established rendering quality of the predicate viewer.
  • Turnaround Time Study: The ground truth involved established time targets for specific operations.
  • Measurement Accuracy: The ground truth was the known measurements of objects on a calibration scale slide.
  • Human Factors Study: The "ground truth" for success was the accurate and error-free performance of critical tasks by representative users, consistent with safety.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The provided document does not mention a training set for the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer. This is expected as the viewer is described as image management and viewing software, not an AI algorithm that learns from data.

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

  • As no training set is mentioned or implied for this device, information on how its ground truth was established is not applicable here.

Summary of Performance Data

TestResult
Pixelwise Comparison:The subject device (PathPresenter Clinical Viewer on both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers) demonstrates substantial equivalence of the pixelwise comparison with the predicate device (Hamamatsu NZViewMD). The image review manipulation software (IRMS) of the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer (Subject Viewer) generates equivalent images, with respect to color, as the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner with NZViewMD viewer (Predicate Viewer) for the same input files. The IRMS of the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer was accepted as equivalent to the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer NZViewMD viewer since the 95th percentile of the pixel-wise color difference in any image pair is less than 3 CIEDE2000 (< 3 ΔE00).The sample set was composed from images from 30 FFPE tissue glass slides from 15 different anatomical locations. For each slide, three (3) Regions of Interest (ROIs) were selected by a board-certified Pathologist. The pathologist, blinded to the rest of the pixel-wise comparison study, pre-identified the regions of interest as a service to the Development Team. This ensured that each ROI included relevant biological features while minimizing blank areas.From each ROI, two (2) zoom levels, specifically 20x and 40x are used to capture the images. Total Image Pairs: 30 slides x 3 ROIs x 3 Zoom Levels x 2 Browsers = 180. The PathPresenter Clinical Viewer is intended to be used with Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome Internet web browsers. Test images were analyzed across each device-browser combination, specifically comparing the PathPresenter Clinical View launched in Chrome with the Hamamatsu NZViewMD, and the PathPresenter Clinical View launched in Edge with the Hamamatsu NZViewMD.
Turnaround Time StudyTAT bench studies evaluated the average time required to execute zooming and panning operations, and to refresh the display in response to user input. Using a minimum of 20 slides, the evaluation concluded that for different scenarios, the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer met the test acceptance criteria and showed acceptable turnaround time for the intended use of the subject device. Average times required to execute opening, zooming and panning operations, and to refresh the display in response to user input meets established targets.:• Loading of the first image visible to the user; Target: 8 seconds, Actual: 2.72 seconds• Loading of the whole field of view after panning; Target: 2 seconds, Actual 1.22 seconds• Loading of the whole field of view after zooming; Target: 3 seconds, Actual: 0.60seconds

Page 10

Measurement AccuracyThe measurement accuracy of the PathPresenter Annotation tools were evaluated for both length and area across multiple magnification levels. To verify its accuracy, an image of a calibration scale slide with objects of known sizes was used. A series of annotations were created at various magnifications in two intended browsers. The differences between actual and reported measurements were calculated for each annotation.The acceptance criteria required that all measured values match predetermined measurements relevant to the zoom level of the viewer, with no allowable deviation.Test results demonstrated that the PathPresenter Annotation tools performed highly accurate measurements of both length and area. All measured values matched the reference values exactly, with zero observed error across multiple magnification settings, confirming the tool's precision for its intended use.
Human Factors StudyHuman Factors (HF) validation test was conducted to demonstrate that the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer can be used by pathologists, free from serious use errors or problems under the expected use conditions. A systematic evaluation of task-based usability including critical tasks required for operation of the device were evaluated via a Use-Related Risk Analysis (URRA). The HF validation test was performed by representative users (board-certified pathologists) and conducted per FDA's Guidance on Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices (2016). Validation results confirmed that critical tasks were performed accurately and without any use-related errors that could result in patient harm or diagnostic inaccuracies. Observed usability issues are easily mitigated through minor design improvements, addressed via training and labeling, and determined to pose no unacceptable risk to user performance or patient safety. Based on these findings, the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer meets HFE/UE requirements and is acceptable for deployment use in clinical settings.

CONCLUSION

Based on the required nonclinical testing the PathPresenter Clinical Viewer meets are the Technical Performance Requirements and supports a substantial equivalence claim to the predicate device.
