    Device Description

    Ziostation2 is a basic DICOM image management system to further aid clinicians in their analysis of anatomy, physiology and pathology. Universal functions such as data retrieval, storage, management, querying and listing, and output are handled by the basic Ziostation2 software. Various imaging tools and techniques can be invoked to process images from the following image types: CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Digital X-ray, X-ray Angiography, PET, SPECT, Nuclear Medicine, Secondary Capture, Mammography, X-ray Radiofluoroscopic image, RT Image.

    AI/ML Overview

    The Ziostation2 is an image processing application software for viewing, quantifying, manipulating, communicating, printing, and managing medical images from various modalities. The 510(k) summary (K181892) indicates that several new functionalities and enhancements were added to the Ziostation2, building upon the features of the previously cleared Ziostation2 (K151212) and other predicate devices.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:

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

    The provided text does not explicitly state specific acceptance criteria or quantitative performance metrics for the Ziostation2 software itself. Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for its new functionalities and enhancements. The acceptance criteria appear to be based on the functional similarity and safety of the new features compared to already legally marketed devices.

    However, based on the text, we can infer that the general "acceptance criterion" is that the new functionalities (LAA analysis, Lung Lobes, Virtual Bronchoscopy, CT Lung Resection Planning, MR Myocardial T1 Mapping) perform similarly to their counterparts in the predicate devices and do not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns.

    Feature/FunctionalityAcceptance Criterion (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (as per 510(k) Summary)
    Overall Ziostation2 (K151212 aspects)No significant functional differences from the already cleared Ziostation2 (K151212). Improvements in workflow and usability are acceptable as long as core functionality is maintained."With respect to the already-cleared intended use of Ziostation2, no significant functional differences exist between Ziostation2 and SE K151212. Certain improvements in workflow and usability have been implemented."
    LAA analysis (Goddard)"Adding Goddard score classification" should function similarly to the legally marketed feature in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS (K130542) and other LAA analysis features cleared in CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS (K130552)."LAA analysis (Goddard) is adding Goddard score classification to Ziostation2. The feature of Goddard score classification is legally marketed in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS K130542. Other features are previously cleared in CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS K130552 including LAA analysis."
    Lung Lobes"Adding lung lobes extraction" should function similarly to the legally marketed feature in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS (K130542) and other features cleared in CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS (K130552)."Lung Lobes is adding lung lobes extraction to Ziostation2. The feature of lung lobes extraction is legally marketed in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS K130542. Other features are previously cleared in CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS K130552."
    Advanced MPR BatchWorkflow enhancement should result in no significant functional differences from SE K151212."Advanced MPR Batch is a workflow enhancement. No significant functional differences exist between SE K151212."
    Virtual BronchoscopyThe new functionality for "showing the route to the desired target" and "showing Virtual Bronchoscopy" should operate similarly to features legally marketed in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS (K112051) and LUNGPOINT PLANNING AND VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPIC NAVIGATION (VBN) SOFTWARE. It should not communicate with real Bronchoscopes."Virtual Bronchoscopy is a new functionality added to Ziostation2. The feature of showing the route to the desired target and showing Virtual Bronchoscopy is legally marketed in SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS K112051 and LUNGPOINT PLANNING AND VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPIC NAVIGATION (VBN) SOFTWARE. Other features are previously cleared in SE K151212 and CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS K130552. Virtual Bronchoscopy does not communicate with real Bronchoscope."
    CT Lung Resection PlanningFeatures for "extracting bronchi and lung lobes, extracting lesions and providing the proposal for lung resection" should function similarly to legally marketed features in IQQA-BODYIMAGING SOFTWARE (K141745) and SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS (K130542). Other lung analysis features should align with CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS (K130552)."CT Lung Resection Planning is a new functionality added to Ziostation2. The feature of extracting bronchi and lung lobes, extracting lesions and providing the proposal for lung resection are legally marketed in IQQA-BODYIMAGING SOFTWARE K141745 and SYNAPSE 3D LUNG AND ABDOMEN ANALYSIS K130542. Some other lung analysis features are previously cleared in CT PULMONARY ANALYSIS K130552."
    MR Myocardial T1 MappingNew functionality for "analysis of myocardium MR T1 mapping" should align with legally marketed features in SYNGO MR B17 (K082427), MR-CT VVA (K140587), and ACHIEVA, INTERA AND PANORAMA 1.0T, RELEASE 2.5 (K063559).

    General Software PerformanceSuccessful integration, verification, and regression testing, with identified hazards addressed by risk management."The Ziostation2 software package successfully completed integration testing/verification testing prior to validation. Regression testing was also performed on all functionality present on Ziostation2 prior to release. In addition, potential hazards have been addressed by the Ziosoft Risk Management process."

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

    The document does not specify a sample size for any test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The submission relies on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, implying that testing focused on confirming functional similarity and safety, rather than a separate clinical performance study with a distinct test set.

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

    The document does not mention the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for a test set. This type of information is typically part of a clinical performance study, which is not described here.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    The document does not describe an adjudication method for a test set. As no specific clinical test set is elaborated upon, neither is 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 mention a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study. There is no indication of an assessment of human readers' improvement with or without AI assistance. The submission is for an image processing application, which may include AI components, but a specific MRMC study is not detailed.

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

    The document does not provide details about a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study. The device is an "image processing application software" intended for "trained medical professionals to supplement generally accepted methods of interpreting radiological images," implying a human-in-the-loop context.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used. Given the nature of a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence to predicate devices across various image processing functions, the "ground truth" would likely be implied by the established and accepted performance of the predicate devices themselves, or by standard clinical and radiological interpretation methods. It does not mention pathology or outcomes data as explicitly used for a test set's ground truth.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size for a training set. This information would typically be relevant for machine learning or AI components, but it is not detailed in this submission.

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

    The document does not describe how ground truth for any training set was established. Similar to point 8, this information is absent.

    The provided text does not contain detailed acceptance criteria for the "Cardiac Function Analysis" and "Calcium Scoring" software, nor does it describe a specific study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or agreement with ground truth.

    The document mainly focuses on the regulatory submission process, intended use, device description, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria.

    Therefore, many of the requested sections cannot be filled from the given text.

    Here's what can be extracted based on the provided information:


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

    No explicit acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy, sensitivity, or agreement percentages) are stated, and no specific performance metrics are reported in the provided text. The document states "The Cardiac Function Analysis and Calcium Scoring software packages will successfully complete integration testing/verification testing prior to Beta validation.

    Intended Use

    ZIOSTATION is an image processing workstation software package designed to run on standard PC hardware. The required hardware consists of standard 'off-the-shelf' computer components. It receives image data from standard modalities (medical image scanning devices) or from image archives. It provides for the viewing, quantification, manipulation, communication, printing, and management of medical images. It can be used as a just a workstation or as a client-server within a network. It is intended for use by trained medical imaging professionals to aid in their reading and review of such data.

    Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammograpic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MPixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.

    Device Description

    ZIOSTATION is a software-only imaging workstation that installs on one or more of a customer's standard PCs and integrates with a customer's 'off the shelf' PC-based computer components to provide viewing, quantification, manipulation, communication, printing, and management capabilities for medical images. It provides access to both local and centralized (networked) image data.

    ZIOSTATION can acquire and work with image data from multiple DICOM-compliant modalities and image archives. It provides querying and listing based on user-selected criteria. It provides for multiple types of 2D and 3D image displays. It provides interactive menus and tools for image manipulation and measurement. ZIOSTATION provides workflow enhancement and optional specialist tools for clinical applications.

    ZIOSTATION uses only lossless compression for images used for diagnostic purposes. It does use lossy compression when exporting to JPEG and AVI files, but its labeling indicates that those files are not to be used for clinical evaluations.

    AI/ML Overview

    The ZIOSTATION is a PACS system that has not conducted any clinical studies to establish specific acceptance criteria or performance metrics directly from the provided text. The document states that the device has been "thoroughly tested by Ziosoft in accordance with their software development and validation procedures" and "independently evaluated by trained physicians specializing in medical imaging disciplines." However, no specific acceptance criteria or performance data from these evaluations are presented in the document.

    Instead, the submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, the Barco Voxar 3D Enterprise (K061326). The "acceptance criteria" in this context are implicitly met by showing that ZIOSTATION's features and intended use are essentially identical to the predicate device, and that it does not introduce any new safety or efficacy concerns.

    Given the information in the provided text, the specific details requested for a study proving device adherence to acceptance criteria (such as sample size, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone performance) are not available. The document focuses on regulatory clearance through substantial equivalence rather than explicit performance evaluation against predefined numerical criteria.

    Therefore, the table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance cannot be filled with numerical values, and many of the questions regarding study design cannot be answered from this document.

    Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Based on the provided document, no specific numerical acceptance criteria or performance metrics are reported for ZIOSTATION. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Acceptance Criteria (Not Explicitly Stated - Inferred from Equivalence Claim)Reported Device Performance (Not Explicitly Stated - Inferred from Equivalence Claim)
    Functional Equivalence: Must perform core image processing and management functions similarly to the predicate device.ZIOSTATION provides identical basic functions (view, quantify, manipulate, communicate, print, and manage medical images) as the predicate device (Voxar 3D Enterprise).
    Technical Equivalence: Must be compatible with standard hardware, DICOM compliant, and offer comparable imaging capabilities (2D, 3D, measurement, segmentation, remote rendering).ZIOSTATION is compatible with PC/Windows OS, DICOM 3.0, acquires data from multiple sources, offers 2D/3D imaging, measurement tools, segmentation tools, and remote rendering, all "same" as the predicate.
    Clinical Application Equivalence: Must provide comparable optional specialist tools and workflow enhancements for clinical applications.ZIOSTATION offers "optional specialist tools and workflow enhancements for clinical applications such as coronary, colon, and vessel analysis," which are "same" as the predicate.
    Intended Use Equivalence: Must have the same intended use by trained medical imaging professionals.ZIOSTATION is "intended for use by trained medical imaging professionals to aid in their reading and review of such data," which is "same" as the predicate.
    Safety and Efficacy: Must not raise new safety or efficacy concerns compared to the predicate.Ziosoft "demonstrated that ZIOSTATION is safe and effective for its intended use" and "does not raise any new safety or efficacy concerns."
    Interpretation Restrictions: Must adhere to specific restrictions for mammographic image interpretation."Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MPixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA." (This is a condition of use rather than a performance metric.)

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

    • Not specified. The document mentions internal testing and independent evaluation by physicians but provides no details on sample size or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature).

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

    • Not specified. The document vaguely states "independently evaluated by trained physicians specializing in medical imaging disciplines" but does not quantify the number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, subspecialty). No explicit "ground truth" establishment process for a test set is described.

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

    • Not specified. No details on adjudication methods for any evaluation are provided.

    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

    • No indication of an MRMC study. The ZIOSTATION is an image processing workstation, not specifically an AI-driven diagnostic aid that would typically undergo such a study to measure reader improvement. The document does not describe AI functionality or a reader improvement study.

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

    • Not applicable/Not specified as a standalone algorithm. ZIOSTATION is described as an "image processing workstation software package" intended for use by "trained medical imaging professionals to aid in their reading and review." It is not presented as a standalone diagnostic algorithm.

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

    • Not specified. Since no specific performance study with a test set is detailed, the type of ground truth used is not mentioned. The primary argument is substantial equivalence to a predicate, not performance against a ground truth dataset.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable/Not specified. ZIOSTATION is an image processing and visualization system, not an AI/machine learning model where a distinct "training set" would typically be referenced for model development. The document does not mention any machine learning components requiring a training set.

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

    • Not applicable/Not specified. As there's no mention of a training set, the method of establishing ground truth for it is also not discussed.
