Intended Use

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of non-contrast head CT (NCCT) images to assist hospital networks and trained clinicians in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings of head NCCT images for large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the intracranial ICA and M1 or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Specifically, the device is intended to be used for the triage of images acquired from adult patients in the acute setting, within 24 hours of the onset of the acute symptoms, or where this is unclear, since last known well (LKW) time. It is not intended to detect symmetrical bilateral MCA occlusions.

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected NCCT LVO or ICH on the Brainomix server on premise or in the cloud in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected LVO or ICH findings via a web user interface or mobile application. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification.

The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic device. The results of Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are ultimately responsible for reviewing full images per the standard of care.

Cautions:

  • All patients should get adequate care for their symptoms, including angiography and/or other appropriate care per the standard clinical practice, irrespective of the output of Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke.
  • Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not intended to be a rule-out device and for cases that have been processed by the device without notification for "Suspected LVO" should not be viewed as indicating that LVO is excluded. All cases should undergo angiography, per the standard stroke workup.

Limitations:

  1. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not intended for mobile diagnostic use. Images viewed on a mobile platform are compressed preview images and not for diagnostic interpretation.
  2. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke does not replace the need for angiography in ischemic stroke workup - it provides workflow prioritization and notification only.
  3. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke has been validated and is intended to be used on Siemens, GE and Philips scanners.
  4. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not intended to be used on patients with recent (within 6 weeks) neurosurgery or endovascular neurointervention or recent (within 4 weeks) previous diagnosis of stroke.
  5. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not intended to detect symmetrical bilateral MCA occlusions.

Contraindications:
Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not suitable for use with scan data containing image features associated with:

  • tumours or abscesses
  • coils, shunts, embolization or movement artifacts
  • intracranial vascular pathologies such as arterial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations or venous thrombosis.
Device Description

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke (also referred to as Triage Stroke in this submission) is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software package compliant with the DICOM standard and running on an off-the-shelf physical or virtual server. Triage Stroke is a non-contrast CT processing software-only medical device which operates within the integrated Brainomix 360 Platform to provide triage and notification prioritization of suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). The device uses machine learning algorithms such as advanced non adaptive imaging algorithms, artificial intelligence, and large data analytics.

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is available to users in three configurations, featuring three individual processing modules:

  • Triage ICH Module, which can only flag positive findings of suspected ICH;
  • Triage Stroke Module, which can flag positive findings of suspected ICH or LVO; And
  • NCCT LVO Module, which can flag positive finding of suspected LVO

The Triage ICH Module automatically identifies suspected ICH, the NCCT LVO module automatically identifies suspected LVO, while the Triage Stroke Module automatically identifies suspected ICH or LVO on non-contrast CT (NCCT) imaging acquired from adult patients in the acute setting, within 24 hours of the onset of acute symptoms, or where this is unclear, since last known well (LKW) time. The output of the device is a priority notification to clinicians indicating the suspicion of just ICH for Triage ICH Module, the suspicion of just LVO for the NCCT LVO Module, and suspicion of ICH or LVO for Triage Stroke Module based on positive findings. Specifically, the ICH analysis algorithm is optimized to identify findings of hyperdense volume in the parenchyma typically associated with acute intracranial hemorrhage; and the NCCT LVO suspicion uses the combined analysis of the ASPECTS and hyperdense vessel sign (HDVS) algorithms to identify hyper attenuation in vessels and hypodense regions typically associated with a large vessel occlusion in a non-contrast CT scan.

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke is not intended to detect symmetrical bilateral MCA occlusions. The device uses the basic services supplied by the Brainomix 360 Platform including DICOM processing, job management, imaging module execution and imaging output including notification and compressed image.

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke notification capabilities enable clinicians to review and preview images via mobile app notification. Alternatively, intended users can also access the notification (a "Suspected LVO" or "Suspected hemorrhage" flag) and straightened images via the Brainomix 360 web user interface. Images that are previewed via mobile app are compressed, are for preview informational purposes only, and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification.

The device is intended for use as an additional tool for assisting study triage within existing patient pathways. It does not replace any part of the current standard of care. It is designed to assist in prioritization of studies for reading within a worklist, in addition to any other pre-existing formal or informal methods of study prioritization in place. Specifically, it does not remove cases from a reading queue and operates in parallel to the standard of care. This device is not intended to replace the usual methods of communication and transfer of information in the current standard of care.

The Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke device is made available to the user through the Brainomix 360 Platform The Brainomix 360 Platform is a central control unit which coordinates the execution image processing modules which support various analysis methods used in clinical practice today:

  • Brainomix 360 e-ASPECTS (K243294)
  • Brainomix 360 e-CTA (K242123)
  • Brainomix 360 e-CTP (K223555)
  • Brainomix 360 e-MRI (K231656)
  • Brainomix 360 Triage ICH (K231195)
  • Brainomix 360 Triage LVO (K231837)
  • Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke (K232496) (predicate device)

Non-Expert SuperiorityDevice Sensitivity: 69.64%Non-Expert Sensitivity: 47.18%Difference: 21.28% (5.84-36.72%) (Device demonstrated superiority)

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

  • ICH Standalone Study Test Set: 341 cases (167 ICH positive; 174 ICH negative)
  • LVO and ICH Standalone Study Test Set: 267 cases (112 LVO positive; 40 ICH positive; 115 Negative for ICH or LVO; 3 excluded due to technical inadequacy).
  • Reader LVO Performance Study Test Set: The document does not explicitly state the number of cases used in the reader study. It refers to the same LVO and ICH Standalone Study data for performance metrics, suggesting the reader study was conducted on a subset or the entirety of that dataset.
  • Data Provenance: Retrospective study. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data.

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

  • Number of Experts: Three (3)
  • Qualifications of Experts: Experienced US board-certified neuroradiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Method: Consensus of the three experienced US board-certified neuroradiologists.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

  • Yes, a reader study was conducted.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement with AI vs. Without AI Assistance:
    The study compared the device's standalone LVO sensitivity to that of human readers without AI assistance (the document does not describe human readers using AI assistance).
    • Device's LVO Sensitivity: 69.64%
    • All Human Readers (Experts and Non-experts) LVO Sensitivity: 47.94%
    • Difference (Effect Size): The device's sensitivity was 20.52% (CI: 8.26-32.78%) higher than that of all human readers.
    • Non-expert Radiologists LVO Sensitivity: 47.18%
    • Difference (Effect Size for Non-experts): The device's sensitivity was 21.28% (CI: 5.84-36.72%) higher than that of non-expert (general) radiologists.
    • This indicates that the AI performs better than human readers alone for LVO detection in this study (i.e., human readers would need to improve significantly to match the AI's standalone performance, if this AI assistance was their only aid). The study primarily demonstrates the device's standalone performance in comparison to human unassisted performance rather than human improvement with AI.

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

  • Yes, standalone performance studies were conducted.
    • A standalone study for ICH detection performance was conducted.
    • A standalone study for LVO and ICH detection performance was conducted.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: Expert Consensus (consensus of three experienced US board-certified neuroradiologists).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document mentions that the improved ICH algorithm uses "a different deep learning framework, CNN architecture, training data and post-processing capabilities of the algorithm." However, it does not specify the sample size of the training set used for the AI models.

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

  • The document implies ground truth for the training data was established due to the mention of "training data." However, it does not explicitly detail the method for establishing ground truth for the training set, only for the test sets (expert consensus).

  • intracranial vascular pathologies such as arterial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations or venous thrombosis.

5 Technological Characteristics

Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke principal workflow for NCCT includes the following key steps:

  1. NCCT image loading. Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke provides an automated workflow which will automatically process image data received by the system in accordance with pre-configured user DICOM routing preferences.

  2. Image Processing function. The workflow in this step will depend on the module configured for the user's healthcare facility (Triage ICH Module, Triage Stroke Module or NCCT LVO Module).

  3. Notification of 'Suspected hemorrhage' or 'Suspected LVO' sent to the user and image viewing. This is a non-diagnostic DICOM viewing application through mobile app, allowing a trained clinician to preview unprocessed CT studies with basic viewing functions(scroll through a cine, adjust window level and window width, pan, and zoom) prior to definitive review of images on a diagnostic workstation. Alternatively, the straightened images can be visualized in the Brainomix 360 web user interface on a radiologist workstation.

All functions listed here are performed automatically by the software. Notifications and alerts for users (when processing has completed) is the step that includes user interaction and present information to users. This is considered to be the output of the processing functions.

6 Performance Data

The performance of Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke has been validated in three clinical studies:

  • A standalone study of ICH detection performance
  • A standalone study of LVO and ICH detection performance
  • A reader study to compare the sensitivity of LVO detection to that of radiologists.

6.1 Summary of ICH Standalone Performance

A retrospective study was conducted with the primary endpoint of assessing the performance of Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke in identifying ICH findings in NCCT head images. The dataset comprised 341 cases (167 ICH positive; 174 ICH negative). Truthing was conducted by consensus of three experienced US board certified neuroradiologists. Sensitivity and specificity of ICH detection exceeded the pre-specified performance goal of 80%: sensitivity was 96.41% (95% CI: 92.65-98.65%) and specificity was 96.55% (CI: 92.94-98.70%).

As a secondary outcome measure, performance for detection of subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs) was assessed against a pre-defined performance goal: sensitivity was 85.71% (CI: 60.99-97.67%) and specificity was 96.55% (CI: 80.60-98.87%).

6.2 ICH Performance Over Subgroups

ICH detection performance was stratified over a range of relevant clinical variables, including age, gender, slice thickness and scanner manufacturer subgroups. Additional subgroup analysis is reported in the labelling.

6.3 Summary of LVO and ICH Standalone Performance

A retrospective study was conducted with the primary endpoint of assessing the performance of Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke in identifying NCCT head images containing large vessel occlusion (LVO) or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in 267 cases (LVO positive: 112 cases; ICH positive: 40 cases; Negative for ICH or LVO: 115; excluded: 3 cases due to technical inadequacy). Truthing was conducted by consensus of three experienced US board certified neuroradiologists.

Sensitivity and specificity exceeded the pre-specified performance goals for NCCT LVO and ICH. NCCT LVO performance was observed at 69.64% sensitivity (CI: 60.65-77.70%) and 89.57% specificity (CI: 82.92-94.36%). NCCT ICH performance in this smaller subset of cases was consistent with that of the ICH standalone study, as reported above (sensitivity: 95.00% [84.47-99.29%]; specificity: 88.11% [83.39-91.92%]).

The Triage Stroke time-to-notification analysis includes three steps: (1) the time taken to transfer the image for DICOM transfer, (2) the device processing time, and (3) the time taken to deliver a notification after processing. The combined time-to-notification was compared to an acceptability criterion of 3.5 minutes. The minimum and maximum estimates for each of the three steps were assessed and combined to create a range of expected values for the total time-to-notification. The minimum time-to-notification was 58.3 seconds, and the maximum was 150.7 seconds. This met the acceptability criterion of time-to-notification of under 3.5 minutes.

6.4 Summary of Reader LVO Performance

In addition, a reader study was conducted to compare NCCT LVO sensitivity of the device to that of radiologists. Secondary endpoints of expert non-inferiority and non-expert superiority were used. Triage Stroke passed both conditions, with a sensitivity for all readers (experts and non-experts) of 47.94% (CI: 37.91-57.97%). The difference between the device's sensitivity and that of all readers was 20.52% (CI: 8.26-32.78%). The general radiologists (non-experts) performed with a sensitivity of 47.18% (CI: 33.62-60.75%). The difference between the device and non-expert sensitivity was 21.28% (CI: 5.84-36.72%).

6.5 LVO Performance Across Subgroups

Subgroup analyses were conducted for the LVO indication. The analyses assessed performance across age, gender, slice thickness and scanner manufacturer subgroups. Additional subgroup analysis is reported in the labelling.

10 Substantial Equivalence

The subject device includes similar features as compared to the predicate device. Both devices have substantially equivalent indications for use, technological characteristics and roles within a clinical workflow relative to triage and notification. Both devices are intended to automatically process and analyze non-contrast CT scans to provide a notification to users in case of a suspected LVO or ICH being identified. The subject device does raise different

questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate and both include similar mitigation strategies for reducing the risk of off label use of preview images which are shared via mobile.

Where the proposed device differs from the predicate device are:

  • Improved ICH algorithm: The proposed device features an updated ICH algorithm using a different deep learning framework, CNN architecture, training data and post-processing capabilities of the algorithm. The improved algorithm resulted in improved sensitivity in detecting SAH and SDH subtypes. Furthermore, the algorithm improvements have also resulted in increased sensitivity and specificity of the software in detecting ICH. The performance of the updated algorithm has been validated in clinical studies, which provides evidence of effective triaging of all ICH subtypes with an increased sensitivity and specificity.

  • Indications for use extended to SAH patients: Following the improvements made to the ICH algorithm the proposed device removes a previous SAH limitation and extends the indications of use for Triage Stroke to include subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) sub types. The change in the algorithm and the subsequent removal of the limitation has been validated through a clinical study and showed improvements on the performance of Triage Stroke in relation to different ICH subtypes.

  • Configurable workflows: The proposed device offers three configurations with three workflows. The Triage ICH Module features a workflow to detect ICH in NCCT scans, the NCCT LVO Module features a workflow to detect LVO in NCCT scans, while the Triage Stroke Module's workflow allows the detection of either ICH or LVO in NCCT scans. The workflow of the Triage ICH Module remains the same as cleared under Brainomix 360 Triage ICH (K231195) and the workflow of the Triage Stroke Module remains the same as cleared under Brainomix 360 Triage Stroke (K232496). The NCCT LVO module utilizes the workflow like that of the Triage Stroke Module but with the device output limited to LVO notification only. The proposed device differs from the predicate in that it offers a choice of these three workflows within a single device and as such, this technological characteristic does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
