Prism Acquire® / Prism Process® software is used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance scanner to acquire and process blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other MRI data sets. Prism View® software provides visualization of anatomical with functional and physiologic imaging data sets.

Prism Acquire presents a scripted series of synchronized visual and/or auditory stimuli and/or cognitive/motor tasks to the patient being scanned. The patient's responses and image data from the MRI scanner are stored for use by Prism Process, which performs post-processing for quality control and subsequent viewing of fMRI and other data. These applications can also be used to assist in scripted data acquisition and post-processing of other anatomical, functional and physiologic MR imagery including magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), MR perfusion, and MR diffusion.

Prism View provides both analysis and viewing capabilities that promote the integration of anatomical with physiologic and functional imaging data sets including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), MR perfusion, and MR diffusion including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

The integration of these data, when interpreted by a trained physician, yields information that may assist in the diagnosis of central nervous system pathology and the planning and monitoring of medical treatments.

Prism Acquire provides a scripted approach to performing fMRI and other imaging studies. Prism Process performs post-processing and quality assurance of fMRI and other imaging data sets. The processed data is prepared for report generation utilizing the Prism View product, supporting the visualization and manipulation of clinical imagery of multiple kinds. It provides a flexible set of display, analysis, and export options for utilizing the imagery relationships.

These applications may communicate in the healthcare IT environment via Prism Flow®, server-based software facilitating DICOM communications, authorization/authentication, audit logging, and other infrastructure functions.

The provided 510(k) summary for Prism Acquire®, Prism Process®, and Prism View® does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving the device meets particular performance metrics.

However, based on the available information, here's what can be extracted and what is explicitly not mentioned:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Explanation: The document states that "FDA has not established special controls or performance standards for this device." Therefore, the primary "acceptance criteria" appear to hinge on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and general software verification and validation. Specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) are not reported.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

4. Adjudication Method 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, and effect size

This information is not provided in the document. The document focuses on technological and safety equivalence to predicate devices, not on comparative effectiveness studies involving human readers.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The general statement "Software verification and validation was conducted to confirm proper function of the device's features" is broad and does not detail specific standalone performance studies.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

This information is not provided in the document. Since specific performance metrics are not given, the type of ground truth against which those metrics would be compared is also absent. The device's output is intended to "assist in the diagnosis of central nervous system pathology and the planning and monitoring of medical treatments" when "interpreted by a trained physician," implying clinical interpretation as the ultimate reference, but how this translates to a ground truth for device performance is not detailed.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not provided in the document.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

Summary of Study Details Provided:

The document primarily relies on:

• Substantial Equivalence: The core of the performance "proof" is that Prism Acquire, Process, and View are technologically and safely equivalent to their own previous versions (BrainAcquireRx™, BrainProcessRx™, BrainViewRx™) and to other legally marketed predicate devices (Syngo® Multimodality Workstation, Advantage Windows with FuncTool Option).
• Software Verification and Validation: A general statement is made that "Software verification and validation was conducted to confirm proper function of the device's features." This typically covers testing for functionality, reliability, and security, but specific details or quantitative results are not included in this summary.

This type of 510(k) submission often focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than providing extensive de novo clinical trial data with detailed performance metrics.
