DEVICE DESCRIPTION The TruPlan Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging Software application (referred to herein as "TruPlan") is a software as a medical device (SAMD) that helps qualified users with imagebased pre-operative planning of Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) procedure using CT {4}------------------------------------------------ data. The TruPlan device is designed to support the anatomical assessment of the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) prior to the LAAC procedure. This includes the assessment of the LAA size, shape, and relationships with adjacent cardiac and extracardiac structures. This assessment helps the physician determine the size of a closure device needed for the LAAC procedure. The TruPlan application is a visualization software and has basic measurement tools. The device is intended to be used as an aid to the existing standard of care. It is not replacing the existing software applications physicians use for planning the Left Atrial Appendage Closure procedure. Pre-existing CT images are uploaded in TruPlan application manually by the end-user. The images can be viewed by the user in the original CT image as well as simulated views. The software displays the views in a modular format as follows: - . LAA - Fluoro (fluoroscopy, simulation) . - . Trans Esophageal Echo (TEE, simulation) - Intra Cardiac Echography (ICE, simulation) . - . Thrombus - Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) ● Each of these views offer the user visualization and quantification capabilities for pre-procedural planning of the Left Atrial Appendage Closure procedure; none are intended for diagnosis. The quantification tools are based on user-identified regions of interest and are user-modifiable. The device allows users to perform the measurements (all done on MPR viewers) listed in Table 1. | Measurement [units] | Description | Module workflow | Application | |------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Distance [mm] | Length between two points, for both curved lines (splines) and straight lines, including the diameter (including min, max, average) resulting from closed splines and depth of the LAA | All modules | Diameter & depth of LAA landing zone (LAA module); distance between points of interest | | Perimeter [mm] | The perimeter of a contour (closed spline) | All modules | Perimeter of LAA landing zone (LAA module); perimeter of other contours of interest | | Area [mm²] | The area within a contour | All modules | Area of LAA landing zone (LAA module); area of other contours of interest | | Angle [degrees] | The angle of an object/structure of interest | All modules | Angle between two lines of interest | | Table 1.

Additionally, the device generates a 3D rendering of the heart (including left ventricle, left atrium, and LAA) using machine learning methodology. The 3D rendering is for visualization purposes only. No measurements or annotation can be done using this view. TruPlan also provides reporting functionality to capture screenshots and measurements and to store them as a PDF document. TruPlan is installed as a standalone software onto the user's Windows PC (desktop) or laptop (Windows is the only supported operating system). TruPlan does not operate on a server or cloud. #### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE/ INTENDED USE TruPlan enables visualization and measurement of structures of the heart and vessels for preprocedural planning and sizing for the left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedure. To facilitate the above, TruPlan provides general functionality such as: - Segmentation of cardiovascular structures ● - . Visualization and image reconstruction techniques: 2D review, Volume Rendering, MPR - Simulation of TEE views, ICE views, and fluoroscopic rendering - Measurement and annotation tools - Reporting tools ● TruPlan's intended patient population is comprised of adult patients. {6}------------------------------------------------ #### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH PREDICATE DEVICE TruPlan is considered to be substantially equivalent to 3mensio Workstation (hereaffer "3mensio"), a commercially available device manufactured by Pie Medical Imaging. Both devices enable visualization and quantification of the heart and cardiovascular structures and are intended for pre-procedural planning and sizing of the implantable device. Of the three characteristics (technical, biological, and clinical) required for the demonstration of equivalence, biological characteristics are not applicable since both TruPlan and 3mensio are standalone software applications with no tangible component interfacing with the body. Table 2 compares the individual features/characteristics for the two devices. | Feature / Characteristic | New Device | Predicate Device | |---------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | General information | | | | Device name | TruPlan | 3mensio | | Manufacturer | Circle Cardiovascular Imaging | Pie Medical Imaging | | 510(k) number | K202212 | K153736 | | Device Class | II | II | | Device classification | LLZ | LLZ | | Regulation Name | Picture Archiving and Communications system | Picture Archiving and Communications system | | Regulation number | 21 CFR 892.2050 | 21 CFR 892.2050 | | Indications for Use / Intended Use | TruPlan enables visualization and measurement of structures of the heart and vessels for: - Pre-procedural planning and sizing for the left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedure To facilitate the above, TruPlan provides general functionality such as: | 3mensio enables visualization and measurement of structures of the heart and vessels for: - Pre-operational planning and sizing for cardiovascular interventions and surgery - Postoperative evaluation - Support of clinical diagnosis by quantifying dimensions in coronary arteries - Support of clinical diagnosis by quantifying calcifications | Table 2.
