Device Description

The IiVS™ Integrated image Viewing Station is a product family, which comes in two different versions: DiVS: a DICOM viewer IiVS: a 3D viewer. The intended use of the devices is to provide solutions to various medical image-viewing problems, which come about as the modalities generate more and more images. They also support image distribution over networks, and are DICOM conformant. Finally, the IIVS™ Integrated image Viewing Station family supports the radiologist in writing a report, and transmitting and storing this report in digital form.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the TeraRecon IiVS™ Integrated Image Viewing Station (K994329). This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria with quantifiable performance metrics.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, and MRMC studies is not explicitly available in the provided text.

However, I can extract and infer some information based on the document's content, particularly from the "Performance Standards" section and the "Comparison Table."

Here's the information that can be extracted and inferred:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding reported performance metrics in the way a typical clinical study would. Instead, it relies on demonstrating compliance with standards and comparing features to a predicate device.

Inferred "Acceptance Criteria" (based on compliance and comparison):

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Inferred from documentation)Reported Device Performance (Inferred from documentation)
Voluntary StandardsCompliance with DICOM 3 Query and Retrieve"Compliance with DICOM 3 Query and Retrieve"

Comparison to PredicateTeleradiology image acquisition, distribution, archival and 3D viewing"SAME" as predicate AccuImage™ Viewer Products.
Network Connectivity: Ethernet 100 Base TDifferent from predicate (GPIB IEEE488), but considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).
Computer Platform: SGI VW-320 and -540Different from predicate (PC), but considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).
Lossy Image Compression: JPEGDifferent from predicate (BMP), but considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).

Image Edit: 8 object segmentation clipping planes in double oblique orientationMore advanced than predicate (Manual and threshold segmentation), considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).
Volume Rendering: Voxel transmission, parallel and perspective ray castingDifferent algorithms than predicate (MIP, Surface rendering, Depth encoded surface), considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).
2D/3D Integration: Automatic display of orthogonal planesMore advanced than predicate (Display of basic 2D views), considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).
Operating System: SGI320, SGI-540 Windows NTDifferent from predicate (Win95/Win98), but considered equivalent ("Yes" in SE column).

Note on "Reported Device Performance": For a 510(k) submission like this, "reported performance" often means demonstrating that the device meets its design specifications, is compliant with relevant standards, and is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. Actual quantitative performance metrics from a dedicated study are typically not included unless addressing a specific performance claim.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not describe a specific "test set" for performance evaluation in the context of a clinical study or image dataset. The submission focuses on technical specifications, compliance with standards (DICOM, ISO/IEC 12207), and a feature-by-feature comparison to a predicate device. Therefore, information about sample size, data provenance, and retrospective/prospective nature is not provided.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Since there is no described "test set" or clinical study involving image interpretation, there is no information about experts establishing ground truth.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

As no test set involving expert review is described, there is no information on an adjudication method.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

The document does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study, nor does it refer to AI assistance. This device is an image viewing and communication system, not an AI-powered diagnostic aid.

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

The device is an image viewing and communication system designed to be used by human radiologists. It is not an algorithm intended for standalone diagnostic performance. Therefore, analysis of "standalone" algorithm performance is not applicable or described.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Since no clinical performance study involving diagnostic interpretation is described, there is no mention of the type of ground truth used. The ground truth for this type of device relates to its technical functionality (e.g., a DICOM file is correctly transferred and displayed, a report is correctly generated).

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not describe a "training set" as it is not an AI/machine learning device. The software development follows ISO/IEC 12207, implying standard software testing and validation, but not machine learning training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning, this question is not applicable and no information is provided.
