    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device called "ViewPoint 6." This type of document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and typically does not contain detailed primary study results with acceptance criteria and specific performance metrics as would be found in a clinical study report. It primarily outlines the scope of V&V activities and voluntary standards adhered to.

    Based on the provided text, the following information can be extracted regarding the device performance and acceptance criteria:

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

    The document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with corresponding reported device performance values in terms of clinical accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). Instead, it states that:

    "Successful completion of design verification and validation testing was performed to confirm that software and user requirements have been met."

    This implies that the acceptance criteria are tied to the fulfillment of software and user requirements, which are assessed through various testing activities, but the specific numerical performance metrics are not detailed in this summary. The general statement about "Performance dependent on customer hardware but minimum hardware requirements for acceptable performance are defined in the System Requirements" suggests that performance acceptance is related to system specifications rather than clinical efficacy metrics.

    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 specify any sample sizes for a clinical test set, nor does it provide data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature). The V&V activities mentioned (Risk Analysis, Requirements Reviews, Design Reviews, Testing on unit level, Integration testing, Performance testing, Safety testing) are typically software engineering and system-level tests and do not involve a clinical test set with patient data for performance evaluation in the context of diagnostic accuracy.

    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)

    No clinical test set is described, and therefore, there is no information about the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.

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

    No clinical test set is described, so no adjudication method is mentioned.

    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 states:

    "The similarities and differences between the subject device and the predicate device, were determined not to have a significant impact on the device's performance, the clinical performance, and the actual use scenarios. Therefore, the subject of this premarket submission, ViewPoint 6, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."

    This explicitly indicates that no MRMC comparative effectiveness study, or any clinical study, was conducted or deemed necessary for this 510(k) submission. Therefore, there is no information about AI assistance or its effect size on human reader improvement.

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

    The device is described as "an image archiving and reporting software for medical practices and clinical radiological departments. It is used for diagnostic interpretation of images and other data." The indications for use state it "is not intended to be used as an automated diagnosis system." This confirms it's a tool to assist clinicians, not a standalone diagnostic algorithm. No standalone algorithmic performance study was conducted or mentioned.

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

    As no clinical studies were performed for diagnostic accuracy, no specific ground truth type (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) is mentioned. The V&V activities focused on software and system requirements.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The document does not refer to any AI/ML components that would require a training set. Therefore, no training set sample size is provided.

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

    Since no training set is mentioned for AI/ML, there is no information on how its ground truth would be established.

    In summary:

    This 510(k) submission for ViewPoint 6 primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ViewPoint 6 v6.12 K203677) through software validation and verification activities, adherence to voluntary standards, and a comparison of technological characteristics. It explicitly states that clinical studies were not required because the changes from the predicate device were not deemed to have a significant impact on clinical performance. Therefore, detailed information regarding clinical performance acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test or training sets, expert adjudication, or AI performance metrics is not present in this document.

    • Device Type: Image archiving and reporting software for medical practices and clinical radiological departments.
    • Intended Use: "To accept, transfer, display, store and process medical images and data, including the ability to measure, calculate, annotate and prepare and print patient examination reports primarily for diagnostic ultrasound." It also explicitly states: "ViewPoint is not intended to be used as an automated diagnosis system."
    • Study Performed: Non-clinical tests were conducted to comply with voluntary standards and apply quality assurance measures to the development of the system. These included:
      • Risk Analysis
      • Requirements Reviews
      • Design Reviews
      • Testing on unit level (Module verification)
      • Integration testing (System verification)
      • Performance testing (Verification)
      • Safety testing (Verification)
      • Simulated use testing (Validation)
    • Conclusion of Study: "The subject of this premarket submission, ViewPoint 6, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." The non-clinical tests were deemed sufficient to demonstrate that ViewPoint 6 is as safe, as effective, and its performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (ViewPoint 5).

    In essence, the ViewPoint 6 submission is for a software update to an existing PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) type device, not for an AI diagnostic device. Its regulatory pathway leveraging substantial equivalence to a predicate device and focusing on non-clinical software testing reflects its classification and intended use as a medical image management system, not a device making diagnostic interpretations.
