Intended Use
BriefCase is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of contrast-enhanced chest CTs (not dedicated CTPA protocol) in adults or transitional adolescents age 18 and older. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspect cases of incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE) pathologies. The device is intended to be used on singleenergy exams only. BriefCase uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and flag suspect cases on a standalone desktop application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for suspect cases. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of BriefCase are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on their professional judgment, to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care.
Device Story
BriefCase is a radiological triage software; inputs are DICOM contrast-enhanced chest CT images. System comprises Aidoc Hospital Server (AHS), Aidoc Cloud Server (ACS), and desktop Worklist Application. Algorithm analyzes images for incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE); flags suspect cases; sends notifications to clinician desktop. Notifications include patient info and compressed, non-diagnostic preview images. Device operates in parallel to standard-of-care (SOC) workflow; does not alter original images; does not remove cases from SOC queue. Used in hospital networks by radiologists/specialists to prioritize worklists. Benefits include reduced time-to-exam-open for critical findings; facilitates earlier clinical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective, blinded, multicenter study (3 sites, 159 cases: 78 positive, 81 negative) evaluating performance on Philips and Toshiba CT scanners. Primary endpoints: sensitivity 89.7% (95% CI: 80.8%, 95.5%) and specificity 90.1% (95% CI: 81.5%, 95.6%). Secondary endpoints: time-to-notification (4.7 min) vs. standard-of-care time-to-exam-open (223.3 min). PPV 19.5%, NPV 99.7%. No significant interaction with center, gender, or age.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based triage system; runs on Windows Server 2012 64-bit. Components: AHS (acquisition), ACS (processing), Worklist Application (UI). Uses deep learning AI algorithms. DICOM 3.0 compliant. Connectivity: networked integration with PACS/workstations. No hardware components. Non-diagnostic preview images are compressed grayscale.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults and transitional adolescents (age 18+) undergoing contrast-enhanced chest CT (non-CTPA protocol) for triage of incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE). Intended for single-energy exams only. Contraindicated for technically inadequate studies (motion/metal artifacts, inadequate FOV).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Radiological computer aided triage and notification software is an image processing prescription device intended to aid in prioritization and triage of radiological medical images. The device notifies a designated list of clinicians of the availability of time sensitive radiological medical images for review based on computer aided image analysis of those images performed by the device. The device does not mark, highlight, or direct users' attention to a specific location in the original image. The device does not remove cases from a reading queue. The device operates in parallel with the standard of care, which remains the default option for all cases.

## Device Description
BriefCase is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software device. The software system is based on an algorithm programmed component and consists of a standard off-the-shelf operating system, the Microsoft Windows server 2012 64bit, and additional applications, which include PostgreSQL, DICOM module and the BriefCase Image Processing Application. The device consists of the following three modules: (1) Aidoc Hospital Server (AHS); (2) Aidoc Cloud Server (ACS); and (3) Aidoc Worklist Application that is installed on the user's desktop and provides the interface in which notifications from the BriefCase software are received and the worklist is presented.
DICOM images are received, saved, filtered and de-identified before processing. Filtration matches metadata fields with keywords. Series are processed chronologically by running the algorithms on each series to detect suspected cases. The software then flags suspect cases by sending notifications to the Worklist desktop application, thereby prompting triage and prioritization by the user. As the BriefCase software platform harbors several triage algorithms, the user may opt to filter out notifications by pathology, e.g., a chest radiologist may choose to filter out notifications on LVO cases, and a neuro-radiologist would opt to divert PE notifications. Where several medical centers are linked to a shared PACS, a user may read cases for a certain center but not for another, and thus may opt to filter out notification by center. Activating the filter does not impact the order in which notifications are presented in the Aidoc worklist application.
The Worklist Application displays the pop-up text notifications of new studies with suspected findings when they come in. Notifications are in the form of a small pop-up containing patient name, accession number and the relevant pathology (e.g., iPE). A list of all incoming cases with suspected findings is also displayed. Hovering over a notification or a case in the worklist pops up a compressed, small black and white, unmarked image that is captioned "not for diagnostic use"
{4}------------------------------------------------
and is displayed as a preview function. This compressed preview is meant for informational purposes only, does not contain any marking of the findings, and is not intended for primary diaqnosis beyond notification.
Presenting the users with notification facilitates earlier triage by prompting them to assess the relevant original images in the PACS. Thus, the suspect case receives attention earlier than would have been the case in the standard of care practice alone.

# Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The subject BriefCase for iPE triage and the predicate device BriefCase for iPE triage (K203508) are identical in all aspects. The subject device is intended for use with additional CT scanners. Specifically, the predicate device was cleared for use with GE and Siemens CT scanners. In this submission, additional performance data were generated for using the BriefCase iPE device with Philips and Toshiba CT scanners.
Both devices are radiological computer-aided triage and notification software programs. Both devices are artificial intelligence algorithms incorporated software packages for use with DICOM 3.0 compliant CT scanners, PACS, and radiology workstations. Both devices are intended to aid in triage and prioritization of radiological contrast-enhanced chest images containing suspected incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE) findings. Both devices are intended to provide the users with notifications and unannotated preview images of suspect studies for the purpose of preemptive triage.
Both software devices notify the users of the availability of time sensitive radiological images for review based on computer aided image analysis. Both devices send notifications and low-quality compressed previews to the user's desktop. Both devices feature a notifications filter in the user interface. Notifications are for informational purpose only and are meant to prompt the user to triage the flagged case, upon which he may decide after observing the unannotated, low quality preview on his desktop app, to turn to the local PACS to perform evaluation of the original series earlier than would have been the case without BriefCase.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Thus, the subject and predicate BriefCase raise the same types of safety and effectiveness questions, namely, accurate detection of findings within the processed study. It is important to note that, like the predicate, the subject device does not remove cases from the standard of care reading queue and does not modify them. Both devices operate in parallel with the standard of care, which remains the default option for all cases.
A table comparing the key features of the subject and predicate devices is provided below.

# Performance Data
# Pivotal Study Summary
Aidoc conducted a retrospective, blinded, multicenter study with the BriefCase software with the primary endpoint to evaluate the software's performance in identifying Contrast-enhanced chest CTs (not dedicated CTPA protocol, acquired through Philips and Toshiba scanners), containing Incidental Pulmonary Embolism in 159 cases from 3 clinical study sites (2 in the US, 1 OUS). There were 78 positive cases and 81 negative cases (images with iPE versus without iPE) included in the analysis.
# Primary Endpoints
Sensitivity and specificity exceeded the 80% performance goal. Specifically, sensitivity was 89.7 % (95% Cl: 80.8%, 95.5%) and specificity was 90.1% (95% Cl: 81.5%, 95.6%). The primary
{7}------------------------------------------------
## endpoints were met.
## Secondary Endpoints
Time saving data were presented in the original iPE 510(k) Summary (K201020) and remain applicable to this device. In summary, the contribution of the BriefCase software is in reducing the time span until an exam is opened to several minutes for cases with suspect findings (4.7 min BriefCase time to notification compared to 223.3 min time-to-exam-open in the standard of care).
Positive/Negative Predictive Values, and Positive/Negative Likelihood Ratios are given below.
