    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text does not contain detailed acceptance criteria or a study that explicitly proves the device meets those criteria. Instead, it describes a substantial equivalence submission for the TomTec Arena TTA2, a picture archiving and communications system.

    The document focuses on demonstrating that the new device is substantially equivalent to previously marketed predicate devices (TomTec-Arena 1.0 and Image-Arena 4.5). It outlines changes made to the device, primarily bug fixes, operability enhancements, and feature changes (repackaging or new appearance of existing technology).

    It explicitly states: "Substantial equivalence determination of this subject device was not based on clinical data or studies." This means that a detailed clinical performance study with defined acceptance criteria for the device's diagnostic performance was not conducted as part of this submission for determining substantial equivalence.

    While non-clinical performance data (software testing and validation) was performed according to internal company procedures, the acceptance criteria for this testing are not explicitly stated in a quantifiable manner within the provided text, beyond "expected results and acceptance (pass/fail) criteria have been defined in all test protocols."

    Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth establishment cannot be extracted from the provided text.

    Here is a summary of what can be extracted:

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

      • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in quantifiable terms for the device's diagnostic performance. The document mentions "expected results and acceptance (pass/fail) criteria have been defined in all test protocols" for internal software testing.
      • Reported Device Performance:
        • All automated tests were reviewed and passed.
        • Feature complete test completed without deviations.
        • Functional tests are completed.
        • Measurement verification is completed without deviations.
        • All non-verified bugs have been evaluated and are rated as minor deviations and deferred to the next release.
        • The overall product concept was clinically accepted and supports the conclusion that the device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
        • The Risk-Benefit Assessment concludes that the benefit is superior to the risk, and the risk is low.
        • The data are sufficient to demonstrate compliance with essential requirements covering safety and performance.
        • The claims made in the device labeling are substantiated by clinical data (via literature review).
    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical study with a test set was detailed. Non-clinical software testing involved various test cases but the sample size (number of test cases) and their provenance are not specified.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as no clinical study with a test set requiring expert ground truth was detailed.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.

    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: Not applicable. The device is a "Picture archiving and communications system" and "Image Review and Quantification Software," not explicitly an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was mentioned.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The focus is on software functionality and equivalence to predicate devices, not AI algorithm performance.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): For non-clinical software testing, the "ground truth" would be the expected output of the software functions based on established specifications and requirements. For the "clinical acceptance" mentioned, it refers to a literature review, implying published clinical data served as the basis for concluding safety and effectiveness relative to predicate devices and general medical standards.

    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device with a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document does not contain detailed acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria. Instead, it is a 510(k) summary for a software package, TomTec-Arena 1.0, and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

    Here's a breakdown of what is and is not available in the provided text, in response to your requested information:

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

    • Not available. The document states that "Testing was performed according to internal company procedures. Software testing and validation were done at the module and system level according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted." However, it does not provide the specific acceptance criteria or the quantitative reported device performance against those criteria. It only provides a high-level summary of tests passed.

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

    • Not available. The document explicitly states: "Substantial equivalence determination of this subject device was not based on clinical data or studies." Therefore, there is no test set in the sense of a clinical performance study with patient data. The "tests" mentioned are software validation and verification.

    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)

    • Not applicable. As indicated above, no clinical test set with patient data was used for substantial equivalence determination. Ground truth establishment by experts for clinical performance is not mentioned.

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

    • Not applicable. No clinical test set.

    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

    • Not applicable. No MRMC study was conducted or mentioned. The device is a software package for review, quantification, and reporting, and its substantial equivalence was not based on clinical performance data demonstrating impact on human readers.

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

    • Not explicitly detailed as a standalone performance study in the context of clinical accuracy. The document confirms that "measurement verification is completed without deviations" as part of non-clinical performance testing. This suggests that the algorithm's measurements were verified, but the specifics of this verification (e.g., what measurements, against what standard, sample size, etc.) are not provided. It's a software verification, not a clinical standalone performance study.

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

    • Not applicable for clinical ground truth. For the non-clinical "measurement verification," the ground truth would likely be a known or calculated value for the data being measured, but the specific type of ground truth against which software measurements were verified is not described.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. The document describes "TomTec-Arena" as a clinical software package for reviewing, quantifying, and reporting existing digital medical data. It is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set in the typical sense for learning patterns. Its functionality is based on established algorithms for image analysis and quantification.

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

    • Not applicable. No training set for an AI/ML model is mentioned.

    Summary of available information regarding performance:

    The document states that:

    • "Testing was performed according to internal company procedures."
    • "Software testing and validation were done at the module and system level according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted."
    • "Test results were reviewed by designated technical professionals before software proceeded to release."
    • "All requirements have been verified by tests or other appropriate methods."
    • "The incorporated OTS Software is considered validated either by particular tests or implied by the absence of OTS SW related abnormalities during all other V&V activities."
    • The summary conclusions indicate:
      • "all automated tests were reviewed and passed"
      • "feature complete test completed without deviations"
      • "functional tests are completed"
      • "measurement verification is completed without deviations"
      • "multilanguage tests are completed without deviations"
    • "Substantial equivalence determination of this subject device was not based on clinical data or studies."
    • A "clinical evaluation following the literature route based on the assessment of benefits, associated with the use of the device, was performed." This literature review supported the conclusion that the device is "as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate devices."

    In essence, TomTec-Arena 1.0 was cleared based on non-clinical software verification and validation, comparison to predicate devices, and a literature review, rather than a prospective clinical performance study with explicit acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy.

    Intended Use

    The clinical application package 2D Cardiac Performance Analysis MR is indicated for cardiac quantification based on digital magnetic resonance images. It provides measurements of myocardial function (displacement, velocity and strain) that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes of patients with suspected heart disease.

    Device Description

    2D Cardiac Performance Analysis MR (=2D CPA MR) is a clinical application package for high performance PC platforms based on Microsoft® Windows® operating system standards. 2D CPA MR is a software for the analysis, storage and retrieval of digitized magnetic resonance (MR) images.
    The data can be acquired by cardiac MR machines. The digital 2D data can be used for comprehensive functional assessment of the myocardial function.
    2D CPA MR is designed to run with a TomTec Data Management Platform (Image-Arena™, their derivatives or any other platform that provides and supports the Generic CAP Interface. The Generic CAP Interface is used to connect clinical application packages (=CAPs) to platforms to exchange digital medical data.
    The TomTec Data Management Platform enhances the workflow by providing the database, import, export and other advanced high-level research functionalities.
    2D CPA MR is designed for the 2-dimensional functional analysis of myocardial deformation. Based on two dimensional datasets a feature tracking algorithm supports the calculation of a 2D contour model that represents the endocardial and epicardial border. From these contours the corresponding velocities, displacement and strain can be derived.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the 2D Cardiac Performance Analysis MR 1.0 device, based on the provided text:

    1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., specific accuracy thresholds, sensitivity, or specificity values). Instead, the acceptance criteria appear to be qualitative, focusing on equivalence to predicate devices and confirmation through internal testing and literature review.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from the document):

    • Safety and Effectiveness: The device must be as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
    • Performance Equivalence: The device must perform as well as or better than the predicate devices regarding myocardial function analysis (displacement, velocity, strain, strain rate).
    • Clinical Acceptance: The overall product concept must be clinically accepted.
    • Risk-Benefit Assessment: The benefit of using the device must be superior to the risk (with risk being low).
    • Published Data Relevance: Published data must be relevant and applicable to the device characteristics and intended medical procedure.
    • Claim Substantiation: Claims made in the device labeling must be substantiated by clinical data.
    • Software Verification: All software requirements are tested and meet required pass/fail criteria.

    Reported Device Performance:

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    As safe and effective as predicate devices."The conclusion states that: ... The overall product concept was clinically accepted and the clinical test results support the conclusion that the Subject Device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as the Predicate Devices." "Test results support the conclusion, that the Subject Device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the Predicate Devices."
    Performs as well as or better than predicate devices regarding myocardial function analysis."The Subject Device provides measurements to analyze the myocardial function on cardiac magnetic resonance images like Predicate Device 1 (K090461) and Predicate Device 2 (K100352)." "The tracking technology of the Subject Device is sensitive enough to track the grey value patterns of regular MRI, thus eliminating the need of additional acquisition of tagged images, which are usually the basis for Predicate Device 2 (K100352)." "The tracking of the Subject Device delivers contours of different regions of the myocardium like in Predicate Device 1 (K090461) and Predicate Device 2 (K100352)." "Based on the tracking results regional measurements like strain can be derived like in Predicate Device 1 (K090461) and Predicate Device 2 (K100352)." "The 2D feature tracking method based on 2D MR image data is already published. The use is as accurate as standard procedures such as HARP (for MR) or 2D speckle tracking (for echo) and it is feasible for clinical practice."
    Overall product concept is clinically accepted."The overall product concept was clinically accepted and the clinical test results support the conclusion that the Subject Device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as the Predicate Devices."
    Benefits superior to risks."The Risk-Benefit Assessment shows that the benefit is superior to the risk (whereas the risk is low)."
    Published data is relevant and applicable."The clinical evaluation shows that the published data are relevant and applicable to the relevant characteristics of the device under assessment and the medical procedure for which the device is intended."
    Claims made in device labeling are substantiated."The claims made in the device labelling are substantiated by the clinical data."
    All software requirements are tested and meet required pass/fail criteria (Non-clinical performance)."Test results meet the required pass/fail criteria." "All software requirements are tested or otherwise verified."

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

    The document refers to "clinical performance data testing" and a "clinical evaluation following the literature route." However, it does not specify a sample size for a dedicated test set in the traditional sense of a clinical trial. Instead, it relies on a review of published literature and a comparison to predicate devices.

    • Sample Size: Not specified for a dedicated test set. The clinical evaluation was based on a "literature route."
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The data provenance is implied to be from published literature. The study is retrospective in the sense that it reviews existing published data.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

    The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for a test set. Since the clinical evaluation relied on a literature review, the "ground truth" would implicitly come from the studies and methods described in the published literature, which would have their own expert-derived ground truths.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    As there is no described dedicated "test set" with expert review for adjudication, no adjudication method is mentioned or applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is described that measures how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance. The submission focuses on the standalone performance of the device and its comparability to predicate devices and established techniques, not on human-in-the-loop performance.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

    Yes, a standalone performance assessment was done. The document states:

    • "The 2D feature tracking method based on 2D MR image data is already published. The use is as accurate as standard procedures such as HARP (for MR) or 2D speckle tracking (for echo) and it is feasible for clinical practice."
    • This implies that the algorithm's performance (its accuracy) was evaluated against established "standard procedures" (like HARP for MR) in published literature. While no specific study details are given within this document, the reliance on a "literature route" for clinical evaluation suggests that earlier standalone performance studies of this 2D feature tracking method were reviewed and deemed acceptable.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The type of ground truth is indirectly pathology or expert consensus, derived from the "standard procedures" used in the referenced literature. The document notes that the device is "as accurate as standard procedures such as HARP (for MR)." The ground truth for these standard procedures typically comes from:

    • Expert Consensus/Manual Contours: For imaging-based measurements, manual contouring by expert clinicians is often the gold standard. The device itself requires a manually drawn contour as a prerequisite for its calculations.
    • Pathology/Outcomes Data: While not directly mentioned for the device's validation, the "diagnostic purposes of patients with suspected heart disease" implies that, ultimately, the clinical utility of the measurements would relate to patient outcomes or confirmed pathology.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not specify a sample size for any training set. Given that the core technology (2D feature tracking) is described as "already published," it's highly probable that such a method would have been developed and trained using various datasets. However, these details are not provided in this 510(k) summary.

    9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Since no training set is described, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not provided in this document.

    Intended Use

    4D LV-Analysis is intended to retrieve, analyze, and store digital ultrasound images for computerized dynamic 3-dimensional image analysis. 4D LV-Analysis reads certain digital 3D/4D image file formats for reprocessing to a proprietary 3D/4D image file format for analysis. It is intended as a digital 4D ultrasound image processing tool for cardiology.

    4D LV-Analysis 3.0 is intended as software for analysis of the left ventricle in heart failure patients.

    Device Description

    The 4D LV-Analysis® 3.0 software is a clinical application package for high performance PC platforms based on Microsoft Windows operating system standards. 4D LV-Analysis is software for the retrieval, reconstruction, rendering and analysis of digitized ultrasound B-mode images. 4D LV-Analysis is compatible with different TomTec Image-Arena™ platforms, their derivatives or any other platform that provides and supports the Generic CAP Interface. Platforms enhance the workflow by providing the database, import, export and other functionalities. All analyzed data and images will be transferred to the platform for reporting and statistical quantification purposes. 4D LV-Analysis is designed for 2- and 3-dimensional morphological and functional analyses of the left ventricle. Based on three dimensional datasets a semi-automatic 3D surface model finding algorithm supports the calculation of a 4D model that represents the cavity of the LV.

    From that model, global as well as regional volumetric changes can be derived. By looking at the timing of regional contractions, dyssynchrony of a ventricle can be quantified and visualized. For visualization, parametric maps are used that indicate areas with a delayed contraction.

    Thus 4D LV-Analysis improves the functional analysis of the LV and presentation of findings to cardiologists and electro-physiologists and visualizes the contraction pattern of the LV to assess dyssynchrony.

    AI/ML Overview

    The submission K110746 for TomTec Imaging Systems GmbH's "4D LV-Analysis 3.0" device provides minimal details regarding specific acceptance criteria and detailed study results. The document largely defers to internal company procedures and a general statement of clinical acceptance.

However, no specific standalone performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for specific clinical endpoints) are provided.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Type of Ground Truth: Not specified. The document refers to "overall product concept was clinically accepted" and "clinical test results," suggesting some form of clinical ground truth, but the specific nature (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, long-term outcomes, invasive measurements) is not detailed.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Sample Size for Training Set: Not specified. The document mentions the device uses a "semi-automatic 3D surface model finding algorithm," which implies machine learning or model training, but gives no details about the training data.

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

    • How Ground Truth Was Established: Not specified.

    Summary of Deficiencies in Reporting:

    The 510(k) summary for K110746, typical for submissions from that era and device type, is high-level and defers significant detail to internal documentation (Chapter 16: Software, Verification and Validation Documentation). It lacks specific, quantifiable acceptance criteria and detailed reporting of clinical performance data. Key information such as sample sizes, expert qualifications, ground truth methods, and statistical performance metrics which are common in more recent AI/ML device submissions, are not present in this public summary. The claims are generalized statements about safety and effectiveness in comparison to predicate devices, without providing the underlying evidence in this document.

The device described is an image management and analysis system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool in the sense of directly improving human reader performance on a task. Its role is to provide tools for reviewing, measuring, and reporting, which could indirectly improve efficiency or consistency but this is not quantifiable in the provided text as an "effect size" of AI assistance.

    6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only without Human-in-the-Loop Performance):

    The document does not present any standalone (algorithm only) performance data. The device is described as an image management and analysis system, implying human interaction for reviewing, measuring, and reporting.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The document does not specify the type of ground truth used for any clinical testing. Given that it's an image management and analysis system, it's likely that if any ground truth was established for "clinical test results," it would be based on expert clinical interpretation or existing patient records, but this is not explicitly stated.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    The document does not mention a training set sample size. This type of device is an image management and analysis platform, not a machine learning model that typically involves distinct training sets for algorithm development in the way that, for example, a CAD system would.

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

    As there is no mention of a training set, there is no information on how its ground truth might have been established.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the 4D Sono-Scan 1.0 device, its intended use, and a general statement about its testing. However, it does not explicitly define acceptance criteria in a quantifiable table format, nor does it detail a specific study with statistical results to prove the device meets such criteria.

    The document refers to verification and validation documentation (Chapter 16), which would typically contain such information, but these chapters are not included in the provided text.

    Based on the information available:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    No explicit table of acceptance criteria or specific quantifiable performance metrics are provided in the given text. The document generally states that "The overall product concept was clinically accepted and the clinical test results support the conclusion that the subject device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices."

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not specified.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

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

    Not specified.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not specified.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    No mention of an MRMC study or any effect size comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is provided. The device is software for analyzing existing ultrasound images and performing measurements, not directly an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers in the sense of improving their diagnostic accuracy.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

    The document states, "Software testing and validation were done at the module and system level according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted." This implies standalone testing of the software's functionality (e.g., ability to reprocess, reconstruct, render, and perform basic measurements), rather than a clinical performance study with human subjects. However, no specific performance metrics for this standalone testing are provided beyond the general statement that test results support its safety and effectiveness compared to predicates.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    While not explicitly stated, for a device performing basic measurements on ultrasound images, the "ground truth" for testing would likely involve:

    • Comparison of software measurements against manually performed measurements (e.g., by experts) on the same images.
    • Comparison of software-generated 3D/4D reconstructions against expected anatomical structures or other validated reconstruction methods.
    • Verification of the software's ability to accurately read and reprocess different 3D/4D image file formats.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable. The 4D Sono-Scan 1.0 is described as a "clinical application package" and "proprietary software for the analysis, storage, retrieval, reconstruction and rendering of digitized ultrasound B-mode images." It performs "basic measurements like areas, distances and volumes." There is no indication that this device uses machine learning or AI models that require a separate "training set" in the conventional sense. It appears to be a rule-based or algorithmic software for image processing and quantification.

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

    Not applicable, as there is no indication of a training set for machine learning. The software's functionality would have been developed and verified against known principles of image processing, geometry, and engineering specifications.

    AI/ML Overview

    The document lacks specific acceptance criteria (performance metrics with thresholds) and detailed study results to confirm the device meets these criteria. The approval is based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a detailed comparative effectiveness study with specific performance outcomes.

    Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the provided text, while highlighting the missing information:

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

    No explicit acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy thresholds) or detailed performance metrics are provided in the document. The submission states that "Test results support the conclusion, that the subject device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate devices," but no specific data is given.

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Not specifiedNot specified

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

    The document mentions "clinical test results" but does not provide any details regarding the sample size, data provenance, or whether the study was retrospective or prospective.

    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 in the document.

    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

    The document mentions that "The overall product concept was clinically accepted and the clinical test results support the conclusion that the subject device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices." However, it does not describe a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it provide an effect size for human reader improvement with or without AI assistance. The focus seems to be on demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices rather than measuring improvement.

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

    The document describes the "2D Cardiac Performance Analysis 1.0" software as calculating parameters based on a "manual drawn contour" by a prerequisite user, suggesting a human-in-the-loop component for defining initial contours. Therefore, a purely standalone algorithm performance without human interaction is not explicitly described or implied.

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

    The document does not specify the type of ground truth used for evaluating the device's performance.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The document does not provide any information about a training set or its sample size.

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

    The document does not provide any information about a training set or how its ground truth was established.

Its performance is implicitly tied to its functions as a platform for displaying, managing, and performing offline measurements on images.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Type of ground truth: Not specified. The document only refers to "clinical acceptance" and "clinical test results," but does not detail how the "truth" against which these tests were assessed was established (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, long-term outcomes).

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Sample size for the training set: Not applicable/Not specified. This device is described as an image management and analysis platform, not a machine learning model that would typically have a "training set."

    9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    • How ground truth was established for the training set: Not applicable/Not specified, as there is no mention of a training set for a machine learning model.

    In summary, the provided 510(k) pertains to a software platform for image management and analysis, not a device with specific AI algorithms requiring detailed performance metrics regarding diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness studies in the modern sense of AI/ML-enabled devices. The clearance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (K071232 and K061995) for its functions of retrieving, storing, analyzing, and reporting digital ultrasound and XA studies, and for being a general-purpose digital medical image processing tool. The performance data mentioned is related to general software validation and clinical acceptance of the overall product concept as being "as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device."

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the TomTec Image-Arena Applications. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to predicate devices. However, it does not contain the specific details required to answer all parts of your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance.

    Based on the information provided, here's what can be extracted and what is missing:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

    The document states, "The overall product concept was clinically accepted and the clinical test results support the conclusion that the device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device." However, it does not explicitly define quantitative acceptance criteria or provide a table of performance metrics.

The general criteria appear to be "as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device."The document states that "clinical test results support the conclusion that the device is as safe as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device." No specific performance metrics or quantitative results are provided.

    Study Details

    Here's a breakdown of the requested study information based on the provided text:

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

      • Information Missing: The document states that "clinical test results support the conclusion that the device is as safe as effective," but it does not specify the sample size of the test set, the country of origin of the data, or whether the study was retrospective or prospective.
    2. 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):

      • Information Missing: The document does not provide any details about the number of experts, their qualifications, or how ground truth was established for the clinical testing.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Information Missing: The document does not describe any adjudication method used for the test set.
    4. 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:

      • Information Missing: The document does not mention a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study. The device is described as a software tool package for analysis, documentation, and archiving. The primary focus of the 510(k) is demonstrating substantial equivalence, not necessarily an improvement in human reader performance with AI assistance.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

      • Information Missing: While the device is "a software tool package designed for analysis, documentation, and archiving," the 510(k) summary does not explicitly describe a standalone algorithm-only performance test or present its results in isolation from a human workflow. The comparison is generally against predicate devices which also involve human interaction with the software.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • Information Missing: The document does not specify the type of ground truth used for the clinical performance evaluation.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • Information Missing: The document does not mention a training set sample size. This type of detail is often critical for machine learning-based devices, but the provided text focuses on the device's function as an imaging analysis, documentation, and archiving platform, suggesting its core functionality might not be a deep learning model that requires a distinct "training set" in the common sense, or if it is, the details are not disclosed here.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Information Missing: As no training set is described, there's no information on how its ground truth might have been established.

    Summary of what is present:

    • Non-clinical performance data: "Testing was performed according to internal company procedures.
