BioTraceIO Vision is a Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) image processing software package available for use with ablation procedures.

BioTraceIO Vision is controlled by the user via a user interface.

BioTraceIO Vision imports images from CT and MR scanners and facility PACS systems for display and processing during ablation procedures.

BioTraceIO Vision is used to assist physicians in planning ablation procedures, including identifying ablation targets and virtual ablation needle placement. BioTraceIO Vision is used to assist physicians in confirming ablation zones.

The software is not intended for diagnosis. The software is not intended to predict ablation volumes or predict ablation success.

Device Description

BioTraceIO Vision is a stand-alone software application with tools and features designed to assist users in planning ablation procedures as well as tools for treatment confirmation. The use environment for BioTraceIO Vision is the Operating Room and the hospital healthcare environment such as interventional radiology control room.

BioTraceIO Vision has six distinct workflow steps:

  • Data Import
  • Anatomic Structures Segmentation (Liver, Kidney, Hepatic Vein, Portal Vein, Ablation Target)
  • Instrument Placement (Needle Planning) for Microwave Ablation (MWA) or Cryoablation (Cryo) Procedures
  • Ablation Zone/Ice ball Segmentation
  • Registration of Pre-Procedure Images
  • Treatment Confirmation (Registration of Pre- and Post-Interventional Images; Quantitative Analysis)

Of these workflow steps, four (Anatomic Segmentation, Ablation Target Segmentation, Registration of Pre-Procedure Images and Instrument Placement) make use of the planning image. These workflow steps contain features and tools designed to support the planning of ablation procedures. The other two (Ablation Zone Segmentation, and Treatment Confirmation) make use of the confirmation image volume. These workflow steps contain features and tools designed to support the evaluation of the ablation procedure's technical performance in the confirmation image volume.

Key features of the BioTraceIO Vision Software include:

  • Workflow steps availability
  • Manual and automated tools for anatomic structures and ablation target/zone segmentation
  • Overlaying and positioning virtual instruments (ablation needles) and user-selected estimates of the ablation regions onto the medical images
  • Image registration
  • Compute achieved margins and missed volumes to help the user assess the coverage of the ablation target by the ablation zone
  • Data saving and secondary capture generation

The software components provide functions for performing operations related to image display, manipulation, analysis, and quantification, including features designed to facilitate segmentation of the ablation target and ablation zones.

The software system runs on a dedicated computer and is intended for display and processing, of a Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR), including contrast enhanced images.

The system can be used on patient data for any patient demographic chosen to undergo the ablation treatment.

BioTraceIO Vision uses several algorithms to perform operations to present information to the user in order for them to evaluate the planned and post ablation zones. These include:

  • Segmentation
  • Image Registration
  • Measurement and Quantification

BioTraceIO Vision is intended to be used for ablations with the following ablation instruments:

For needle planning, the software currently supports the following needle models:

  • Microwave ablation
    • AngioDynamics: Solero Probe 14CM, 19CM, 29CM
    • HS HOSPITAL SERVICE: Amica Probe (16G) 15CM, 20CM, 27CM; Amica Probe (14G) 15CM, 20CM, 27CM
    • Medtronic Covidien: Emprint Antenna 15CM, 20CM, 30CM
    • NeuWave Medical: LK Probe 15CM, 20CM; LK XT Probe 15CM, 20CM; PR Probe 15CM, 20CM; PR XT Probe 15CM, 20CM
    • Varian Medical Systems: Ximitry Probe 15CM, 20CM, 27CM
  • Cryo ablation
    • Boston Scientific: IceForce 2.1 CX, CX L; IcePearl 2.1 CX, CX L; IceRod 1.5 CX; IceSeed 1.5 CX, CX S;Ice Sphere 1.5 CX
    • IceCure Medical: ProSense 10G Spheric, Elliptic 14CM, Elliptic 18.5CM; ProSense 13G Spheric, Elliptic
    • Varian Medical Systems: ISOLIS 2.1 E Probe 15CM, 20CM; ISOLIS 2.1 S Probe 15CM, 20CM; RA Slimline 1.7 15CM, 20CM; RA Slimline 1.7 Round 15CM, 7CM; RA Slimline 2.4 15CM, 23CM; RA 3.8 13CM, 28CM; V-Probe

For treatment confirmation (including segmentation and registration), the software is compatible with all ablation devices as these functions are independent from probes/power settings.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for BioTraceIO Vision (V1.7):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" with numerical thresholds against which the performance metrics are directly compared. Instead, it presents performance metrics from various algorithmic tests, implying that the achieved performance was deemed acceptable for clearance. Based on the provided performance data, here's a table that summarizes the key metrics:

Imaging ModalityAlgorithmMetricReported Device PerformanceImplied Acceptance Criteria (Minimum Threshold for Clearance)
CTLiver SegmentationMean DICE0.98Implied: High DICE score (e.g., >0.90 for organ segmentation)
MRLiver SegmentationMean DICE0.93Implied: High DICE score (e.g., >0.90 for organ segmentation)

CT/MRLiver Registration Pre-ablation MR – Post-ablation CTMCD4.75 mmImplied: Acceptable registration accuracy (e.g., < 5 mm)

Note: The "Implied Acceptance Criteria" are inferred from the successful clearance and commonly accepted performance benchmarks in medical imaging. The FDA clearance document itself does not explicitly list these thresholds.

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

The document provides details of the training sets for different algorithms. However, it does not explicitly state the sample size or provenance for the test set used for the performance validation summarized in the table. The performance data section refers to "validation results" but doesn't detail the test cohort separately from the training cohort or its specific characteristics (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This is a common characteristic of 510(k) summaries which often highlight training data but may not provide granular details on validation sets.

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

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set. It mentions that ground truth for the training set was established, but not for the validation exercises specifically.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) used for establishing the ground truth for the algorithms' test sets.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance

The provided text does not indicate that a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was performed. The performance data focuses on algorithmic performance (DICE, MCD) in a standalone manner, not on human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device's intended use is to "assist physicians" and the clinical accuracy of segmentation/registration is stated as "the responsibility of the user." This suggests the focus was on the algorithm's accuracy as a tool rather than a comprehensive human-AI interaction study.

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

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The performance data presented (Mean DICE and Mean Corresponding Distance) directly reflects the accuracy of the algorithms (segmentation, registration) in isolation, without human intervention in the loop during the measurement of these specific metrics. For example, for "Ablation Target Segmentation", it presents the algorithm's DICE score, not a human reader's improvement using the tool. However, it's important to note that for "Ablation Target Segmentation" (Kidney and Liver) and "Ablation Zone Segmentation" (Kidney and Ice Ball), it differentiates between 1, 2, or 3 strokes, indicating that some level of user input still contributes to the algorithm's final output for these specific functionalities. The performance metrics themselves ("Mean DICE", "MCD") are measures of the algorithm's output compared to ground truth.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used for validation (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, surgical findings). For the training set, it can be inferred that expert annotations were used, but this is not explicitly stated for the validation.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The training set sample sizes are provided for the AI algorithms:

  • Liver Segmentation Algorithm for CT Processing: 1091 contrast-enhanced CT images.
  • Liver Segmentation for MR Processing: 418 MR images.
  • Liver Vessel Segmentation Algorithm for CT processing: 393 contrast-enhanced CT images.
  • Kidney Segmentation for CT processing: 300 contrast-enhanced preoperative CT images.

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

The document does not explicitly detail the method for establishing the ground truth for the training set. It mentions the imaging procedure (e.g., "Contrast-enhanced CT images taken for diagnostic reading") which implies that clinical images with pre-existing or subsequently generated expert annotations would have been used for training. However, the exact process (e.g., number of annotators, their qualifications, adjudication) is not specified.

Device Description

BioTraceIO Vision is a stand-alone software application with tools and features designed to assist users in planning ablation procedures as well as tools for treatment confirmation. The use environment for BioTraceIO Vision is the Operating Room and the hospital healthcare environment such as interventional radiology control room.

BioTraceIO Vision has six distinct workflow steps:

  • Data Import
  • Anatomic Structures Segmentation (Liver, Kidney, Hepatic Vein, Portal Vein, Ablation Target)

  • Instrument Placement (Needle Planning) for Microwave Ablation (MWA) or Cryoablation (Cryo) Procedures
  • Ablation Zone/Ice ball Segmentation
  • Registration of Pre-Procedure Images
  • Treatment Confirmation (Registration of Pre- and Post-Interventional Images; Quantitative Analysis)

Of these workflow steps, four (Anatomic Segmentation, Ablation Target Segmentation, Registration of Pre-Procedure Images and Instrument Placement) make use of the planning image. These workflow steps contain features and tools designed to support the planning of ablation procedures. The other two (Ablation Zone Segmentation, and Treatment Confirmation) make use of the confirmation image volume. These workflow steps contain features and tools designed to support the evaluation of the ablation procedure's technical performance in the confirmation image volume.

Key features of the BioTraceIO Vision Software include:

  • Workflow steps availability
  • Manual and automated tools for anatomic structures and ablation target/zone segmentation
  • Overlaying and positioning virtual instruments (ablation needles) and user-selected estimates of the ablation regions onto the medical images
  • Image registration
  • Compute achieved margins and missed volumes to help the user assess the coverage of the ablation target by the ablation zone
  • Data saving and secondary capture generation

The software components provide functions for performing operations related to image display, manipulation, analysis, and quantification, including features designed to facilitate segmentation of the ablation target and ablation zones.

The software system runs on a dedicated computer and is intended for display and processing, of a Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR), including contrast enhanced images.

The system can be used on patient data for any patient demographic chosen to undergo the ablation treatment.

BioTraceIO Vision uses several algorithms to perform operations to present information to the user in order for them to evaluate the planned and post ablation zones. These include:

  • Segmentation

Summary of Technological Characteristics

Both the subject and predicate device are stand-alone software application with tools and features designed to assist users in planning ablation procedures as well as tools for treatment confirmation. The use environment for both the subject and predicate device is the Operating Room and the hospital healthcare environment such as interventional radiology control room.

The software components of the subject and predicate device provide functions for performing operations related to image display, manipulation, analysis, and quantification, including features designed to facilitate segmentation of the ablation target and ablation zones.

Both the subject and predicate device have the same six distinct workflow steps:

  • Data Import
  • Anatomic Structures Segmentation (Liver, Kidney, Hepatic Vein, Portal Vein, Ablation Target)
  • Instrument Placement (Needle Planning) for Microwave Ablation (MWA) or Cryoablation (Cryo) Procedures
  • Ablation Zone Segmentation
  • Registration of Pre-Procedure Images
  • Treatment Confirmation (Registration of Pre- and Post-Interventional Images; Quantitative Analysis)

Page 8

The following technological differences exist between the subject and the predicate device:

The primary difference is the addition of support for kidney ablation procedures (MWA and cryoablation) using Computed Tomography (CT), whereas the predicate device was limited to liver ablation procedures using CT and Magnetic Resonance (MR). The modifications include kidney-specific segmentation algorithms and CT registration algorithms, as well as user interface updates to support ablation modality selection and cryoablation-specific visualizations. The UI enhancements introduced for cryoablation are applicable to both kidney and liver cryoablation procedures. These differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, as performance data demonstrate that BioTraceIO Vision is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

A table comparing the key features of the subject and predicate devices is provided below.

*Liver vessel segmentations range from a minimum of 2nd order branches to a maximum of 6th order branches; *MCD = Mean corresponding distance; Stroke – user input based on defined procedure to draw the strokes as defined in labeling; The kidney segmentation function of the device has been validated on CT images acquired from GE and Siemens scanners only and in patients with fewer than five (5) renal tumors.

BioTraceIO Vision provides functions including linear distance measurements and volumetric measurements. The resolution of the medical image data directly affects the ability of the user to make definitive measurements, especially when the sizes of structures to identify, segment or measure are near the resolution of the image data. The software's functions are dependent on the user actions as well as on the available information in the provided medical image data.

Segmentation tools provided within BioTraceIO Vision include manual and semi-automated segmentation. The use of the segmentation tools to achieve a satisfactory delineation of ablation target or ablation zone is a user operation and the clinical accuracy of segmentation is the responsibility of the user and not a BioTraceIO Vision function.

Registration tools provided within BioTraceIO Vision include automated local rigid registration within a region of interest around user-segmentations of ablation targets and ablation zones. Final accuracy of registration is dependent on user assessment and manual modification of the registration prior to acceptance, and not a BioTraceIO Vision function.

Measurements of the achieved margins and missed volumes, calculated by comparing the segmentations, are presented by the system following user acceptance of segmentations and registration as clinically accurate. Accuracy of linear distance measures calculated by BioTraceIO Vision are dependent on the image resolution.

Test planning was performed in accordance with standard testing procedures and guidelines 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 edition of BioTraceIO Vision 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.

Potential risks were analyzed and satisfactorily mitigated in the device design.

Conclusions

The BioTraceIO Vision (1.7) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTraceIO Vision (K240773). The BioTraceIO Vision 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 use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the BioTraceIO Vision and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the BioTraceIO Vision (1.7) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTraceIO Vision (K240773). Thus, the BioTraceIO Vision is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
