Ask a specific question about this device

The OEC Elite MiniView (mobile mini C-Arm) is designed to provide physicians with real time goopic visualization of patients of all ages. It is intended to aid physicians and surgeons during diagnostic or therapeutic treatment/surgical procedures of the limbs/extremities and shoulders including, but not limited to, orthopedics and emergency medicine.

The OEC Elite™ MiniView™ is a mobile fluoroscopic mini C-arm system that provides fluoroscopic images of patients of all ages during diagnostic, treatment, and surgical procedures of the shoulders, limbs, and extremities. The system consists of a C-arm attached to an image processing workstation. A CsI(TI) - CMOS flat panel detector and the identical X-ray source monoblock are used for image acquisition.

The C-arm supports the high-voltage generator, X-ray tube, X-ray controls, collimator, and the FPD. The C-arm is capable of performing linear (vertical, horizontal, orbital) and rotational motions that allow the user to position the X-Ray imaging components at various angles and distances with respect to the patient extremity anatomy to be imaged. The C and support arm are mechanically balanced allowing for ease of movement and capable of being "locked" in place using an electronically controlled braking system. The workstation is a stable mobile platform that supports the C-arm, image display monitor(s), image processing equipment/software, recording devices, data input/output devices and power control systems.

The OEC Elite™ MiniView™ is a mobile fluoroscopic mini C-arm system. The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than defining and proving acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical trial for a novel AI device. However, based on the information provided, we can extract details about the performance evaluation done to demonstrate this equivalence.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, structured according to your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC as one might find for an AI diagnostic algorithm. Instead, the evaluation focuses on demonstrating that the performance of the proposed device (OEC Elite™ MiniView™) is at least equivalent to the predicate device (OEC Mini 6800 Digital Mobile C-arm) and reference devices in terms of image quality and clinical capability.

The "acceptance criteria" here implicitly revolve around ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the updated device, which includes:

• Meeting design input and user needs.
• Compliance with regulatory standards (IEC 60601-1 Ed.3 series, IEC 60601-2-54, IEC 60601-2-43, and 21CFR Subchapter J performance standards).
• Image quality and clinical capability at least equivalent to the predicate device.

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

• Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions a cadaver study involving two cadavers on which nineteen orthopedic procedures were performed across a variety of extremity anatomies.
• Data Provenance: The cadaver study was performed as part of the submission process, implying it was a prospective evaluation specifically for this device. The country of origin of the cadavers is not specified in the provided text.

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

• Number of Experts: Two independent physicians were used to evaluate the images.
• Qualifications of Experts: The document states they were "two independent physicians", and given the nature of the device (fluoroscopic imaging for orthopedic procedures), it's highly probable these were orthopedic surgeons or radiologists with expertise in musculoskeletal imaging and procedures. However, their specific specializations or years of experience are not explicitly stated in the provided text.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document states: "The performance of the subject device to the predicate was also performed by two independent physicians." It further states that the "study confirmed the clinical capability and overall quality of the images produced by the OEC Elite™ MiniView™ was at least equivalent to that of the Mini 6800 Digital Mobile C-Arm." This implies a consensus or comparative evaluation by the two physicians. However, a specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, etc.) is not explicitly detailed. It's presented as a direct comparison where both physicians apparently agreed on the equivalence.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

• Not a typical MRMC study: The evaluation described is not a traditional MRMC comparative effectiveness study focused on quantifying human reader improvement with AI assistance. This device is an imaging system (hardware and software for image acquisition and processing), not an AI-powered diagnostic aide designed to improve human reader performance for a specific task.
• Focus on System Equivalence: The study aimed to demonstrate the system's overall clinical capability and image quality equivalence to a predicate device, as evaluated by human readers (the two physicians), rather than measuring the effect size of AI assistance on human readers.

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

• Standalone "Algorithm" Performance: The device itself is an imaging system, not purely an algorithm. Its performance is inherent in the images it produces. Therefore, "standalone" in this context refers to the system's ability to produce diagnostically acceptable images.
• Bench Testing and Image Quality Tests: The document details extensive "engineering bench testing" and "image quality/performance testing" identified for fluoroscopy. These tests evaluate the system's technical image output without human interpretation as the primary endpoint. This can be considered the equivalent of "standalone" performance for an imaging device. Specifically mentioned are:
  • Demonstration of system performance.
  • Imaging performance evaluation using anthropomorphic phantoms (including a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom).
  • All image quality/performance testing identified for fluoroscopy in FDA's "Information for Industry: X-ray Imaging Devices - Laboratory Image Quality and Dose Assessment, Tests and Standards" was performed.

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

• For the Cadaver Study (Test Set): The ground truth for evaluating clinical capability and image quality seems to be based on expert consensus (or agreement) between the two independent physicians regarding the equivalence of the images produced by the OEC Elite™ MiniView™ compared to the predicate device for diagnostic and procedural guidance in the cadaveric setting. There is no mention of pathology or outcomes data for this specific evaluation, as it's a technical performance and clinical utility assessment on cadavers.
• For Bench Testing: The ground truth for bench testing and phantom studies would be defined by known physical properties of the phantoms and established engineering specifications and standards for image quality metrics.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document describes a medical imaging device (C-arm), not an AI algorithm that requires a separate training set. Therefore, the concept of a "training set sample size" as typically applied to machine learning models is not applicable here. The device's underlying technology and software architecture are based on existing, proven designs (predicate and reference devices), with modifications validated through engineering bench tests and the cadaver study.

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

As noted in point 8, there is no explicit "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm described in this document. The device's development involved standard engineering practices, which could be considered an iterative design and testing process that refines the system's performance. The "ground truth" during this development would be based on engineering specifications, performance targets, and established imaging principles, rather than a labeled dataset for training an AI model.

The GE Optima CT520 Computed Tomography X-ray system is intended to produce crosssectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes, patient for all ages, including Axial, Cine, Helical, Cardiac, and Gated acquisitions. These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient, and equipment supports, components and accessories.

This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of trans-axial and reformatted planes. Further the images can be post processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results. The GE Optima CT520 CT Scanner System is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications. The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy.

The Optima CT520 CT Scanner System is composed of a gantry, patient table, operator console, and line voltage adaptor. It also includes image acquisition hardware, image acquisition and reconstruction software, associated accessories and connections/interfaces to accessories.

The system generates images through the computer reconstruction of data acquired at different angles and planes of the rotating gantry.

The system can be operated in Axial, Cine, Helical, Cardiac and Gated acquisition modes.

To improve the siting footprint, the power distribution unit (PDU) has been integrated into the gantry base; except for standalone line voltage adaptor, if needed. The PDU components' function and performance remain the same. This change has been fully tested and certified by a NRTL to continue to meet all applicable IEC/UL safety standards.

The Optima CT520 represents evolutionary modifications to the predicate device (BrightSpeed Elite Select CT System (K082816)). The modifications include hardware upgrades due to technology obsolesces (e.g. console), ROHS compliance, system siting footprint optimization, and IEC Edition 3 compliance, as well as software changes to improve workflow and usability. incorporate Dose Check and quality fixes, assist in product marketing position by feature availability, and feature technology flow-down from cleared premium tier products (e.g. ASiR), The Optima CT520 is a general purpose, mid-tier 16-slice CT scanner that incorporates GE's innovative technology and feature functionality.

The Optima CT520 uses virtually the same materials and identical operating principle as our existing marketed product, except in the case of using the compensatory ROHS compliance material. The image chain components (tube, collimator, detector. DAS) are virtually identical to the BrightSpeed Elite Select.

The changes do not affect the intended use, the indications for use, patient population nor fundamental operating principles of the currently commercially available predicate system and are the identical or similar to other GE CT systems and features previously cleared.

The GE Optima CT520 is a Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray system. The modifications to the predicate device (BrightSpeed Elite Select CT System (K082816)) primarily involve hardware upgrades due to technology obsolescence (e.g., console), ROHS compliance, system siting footprint optimization, IEC Edition 3 compliance, and software changes to improve workflow and usability, incorporate Dose Check, and other enhancements. The device uses virtually the same materials and identical operating principles as its predicate.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

• Test Set: No specific numerical sample size is provided for a dedicated "test set" in the context of a clinical performance study. The primary method of demonstrating substantial equivalence involved engineering testing and an assessment of "sample clinical images."
• Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the "sample clinical images" or whether they were retrospective or prospective. It only states that "sample clinical images representing a various acquisition modes and body regions were provided for reference."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

• Number of Experts: Two independent radiologists.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not specified beyond being "independent radiologists." No details like years of experience or subspecialty are provided.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

• Adjudication method: A Likert scale assessment was provided by the two independent radiologists. The document does not specify an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1; rather, it suggests an individual assessment by each radiologist.

5. If a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done:

• MRMC Study: No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. The submission explicitly states, "Clinical data was not needed to establish safety and effectiveness, all changes were able to be fully verified and validated on the bench, and the testing did not reveal any new questions of safety or effectiveness." The "sample clinical images" were provided for reference and assessed for diagnostic quality, not as part of a formal MRMC study to compare reader performance with and without AI assistance.

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

• Standalone Performance: Not applicable. The device is a CT scanner, not an AI algorithm intended for standalone diagnostic interpretation without human-in-the-loop performance. The "AI" mentioned in the description refers to "feature technology flow-down from cleared premium tier products (e.g. ASiR)" which likely refers to advanced image reconstruction techniques, not a standalone diagnostic AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

• Type of Ground Truth: For the "sample clinical images," the ground truth was based on a Likert scale assessment of diagnostic quality provided by two independent radiologists. This can be categorized as expert consensus/opinion regarding image quality, rather than definitive pathology, clinical outcomes, or a pre-established "ground truth."

8. The sample size for the training set:

• Training Set Sample Size: The document does not mention a specific "training set" sample size. The modifications are described as "evolutionary modifications" and "hardware and software platform changes" building upon a predicate device. The development process emphasizes verification and validation against established standards and internal procedures rather than a machine learning training paradigm with a distinct training set.

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

• Training Set Ground Truth: Not applicable, as no distinct "training set" in the context of machine learning with established ground truth is described. The device's development focused on adherence to existing standards, internal quality control procedures, and demonstrating that the modifications did not alter the fundamental safety and effectiveness of the existing predicate device.

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

• Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable, as there was no training set for an AI algorithm. The device's "ground truth" for its development would be based on engineering specifications, physical principles of MRI, and comparison to existing, cleared MRI systems.

Summary of the Study:

The submission explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, 1.5T Brivo MR355 and 1.5T Optima MR360 did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence. Internal scans were conducted as part of validation for workflow and image quality, and sample clinical images are included in the submission."

Therefore, the "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria was primarily a non-clinical validation process (risk analysis, requirements, design reviews, module verification, system verification, performance testing, safety testing, simulated use testing) demonstrating compliance with voluntary standards and substantial equivalence to a predicate device (1.5T Brivo MR355 and 1.5T Optima MR360 K103330). The "acceptance criteria" were implied to be the device's ability to produce high-quality MRI images across various body parts, consistent with its intended use and comparable to the predicate device's performance, as verified through internal testing and compliance with relevant standards. No formal clinical efficacy or diagnostic accuracy studies involving patient outcomes or expert adjudication were conducted or deemed necessary for this 510(k) clearance.

The 1.5T Brivo MR355 / Optima MR360 is designed to conform to NEMA DICOM standards (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine).

The provided text is for a GE Brivo MR355/Optima MR360 510(k) Premarket Notification and does not describe acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device, nor does it detail a study proving its performance against such criteria. The document is for a traditional Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device.

Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC study, training set sample size, how training ground truth was established) are not applicable to the provided information.

However, I can extract the performance parameters that were tested for this device, which can be interpreted as its "acceptance criteria" in the context of it being a new MR system demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

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

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 mentions "Clinical images collected by volunteer scanning," indicating a prospective collection method using volunteers. No specific numerical sample size (number of volunteers or images) is given, nor is the country of origin of the data specified.

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)

This information is not provided. The document states that the images, when "interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis," but it does not detail an expert review process for establishing ground truth as one might for an AI/ML study.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

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

A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not described. This document pertains to a new MR imaging system, not an AI/ML algorithm intended to assist human readers.

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

This concept is not applicable as the device is an MR scanner, not an AI/ML algorithm. The performance tests described (SNR, image uniformity, etc.) demonstrate the standalone performance of the MR system itself.

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

For the performance parameters, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to the physical measurements and standards (NEMA, IEC, ISO). For the clinical images, the statement "All images show that the system meets the indications for use" suggests an assessment against clinical expectations or previous interpretations, likely by trained physicians, but the specific type of ground truth (e.g., expert consensus on specific findings, pathology correlation) is not detailed.

8. The sample size for the training set

The concept of a "training set" is not applicable as this is a traditional MR imaging device, not an AI/ML model that undergoes a training phase.

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

Not applicable.
