Intended Use

PrecisionTAVI is an optional, non-invasive, post processing software solution that is indicated for patient-specific simulations of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) during procedural planning. The software performs computer simulation to predict post TAVR in vivo valve frame deformation of clinician selected Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) device types and sizes. The information provided by PrecisionTAVI is intended for use by cardiologists, and clinical specialists, and is not intended in any way to eliminate, replace, or substitute for, in part, the healthcare provider's judgment and analysis of the patient's condition receiving the images retains the responsibility for interpreting and validating all information and making all patient treatment decisions. PrecisionTAVI is not intended to replace the simulated device's instructions for use for final TAVR device selection and placement.

Device Story

PrecisionTAVI is a non-invasive software solution for TAVR procedural planning. Input consists of 3D anatomical models generated from patient multi-slice cardiac CT images. DASI Simulations operators use a proprietary computational modeling workflow to simulate the mechanical interaction between a predefined Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) model and the patient-specific aortic root anatomy. The output is a report with 3D visualization of the predicted post-deployment THV frame deformation. The report is accessed via a web-based portal. Clinicians use this information as an adjunct to their own judgment for TAVR planning and device selection. The device does not replace the manufacturer's instructions for use for the specific THV device. Benefits include improved visualization of potential device-anatomy interaction prior to the procedure.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing using retrospective clinical data from 89 patients with tricuspid aortic valve morphology who received SAPIEN S3/Ultra THV. Validation compared simulated THV deformation against post-TAVR CT-derived geometries. Results: 100%, 97%, and 98% of cases showed <±2mm difference in inflow, waist, and outflow diameters respectively; 97%, 98%, and 98% showed <±0.1 difference in aspect ratio (meeting ≥95% success criteria). Qualitative assessment by 5 clinicians and 3 engineers showed 96% agreement in case evaluations and >80% agreement in eccentricity/apposition metrics.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based computational simulation. Inputs: DICOM-based 3D anatomical models from cardiac CT. Outputs: 3D visualization of THV deformation. Connectivity: Web-based portal for report access. Architecture: Proprietary computational modeling technology for mechanical interaction simulation. No physical materials or energy sources.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patient-specific simulations of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) during procedural planning for patients undergoing TAVR. Intended for use by cardiologists and clinical specialists.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

DASI Simulations PrecisionTAVI is a computer simulation device that predicts implant frame deformation after implantation of a Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) device. The simulation combines a predefined THV device model and size with a patient-specific model of the patient's anatomy thereby predicting the post deployment deformation of the THV and the anatomy. The simulation results are intended to be used by qualified clinicians as additional information for planning transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

PrecisionTAVI conducts TAVR device deployment simulation using proprietary computational modeling technology.

The input for the simulation is a 3D model of the patient anatomy. The 3D model is generated from 2D medical images of the patient anatomy (multi-slice Cardiac Computed Tomography).

The simulation output is a report with 3D visualization capability to depict the predicted deformed THV in the deformed patient-specific anatomy of the aortic valve and root.

The 3D model generation and the report generation from the simulation is performed by trained operators at DASI Simulations using an established workflow. The report is accessible to the end user as a download from the DASI Simulations portal with a standard web browser.

### INDICATIONS FOR USE

PrecisionTAVI is an optional, non-invasive, post processing software solution that is indicated for patient-specific simulations of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) during procedural planning.

The software performs computer simulation to predict post TAVR in vivo valve frame deformation of clinician selected Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) device types and sizes.

The information provided by PrecisionTAVI is intended for use by cardiologists, and clinical specialists, and is not intended in any way to eliminate, replace, or substitute for, in whole or in part, the healthcare provider's judgment and analysis of the patient's condition. The clinician receiving the images retains the responsibility for interpreting and validating all information and making all patient treatment decisions.

PrecisionTAVI is not intended to replace the simulated device's instructions for use for final TAVR device selection and placement.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE COMPARISON

PrecisionTAVI has similar indications and the same intended use in comparison to the predicate device. The difference in indications for use is attributed to the different disease/anatomy (aortic valve vs. left atrial appendage).

#### TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON

- 1. Technical Method: Both the subject and predicate devices perform simulations to predict the

{5}------------------------------------------------

post-implantation device deformation by combining a predefined device model with a patient specific model of the patient anatomy.

- 2. Target Area: The predicate device's target area is left atrial appendage, while the subject device's target area is the aortic valve/aortic root.
- 3. Functionality: Both the subject and predicate device enable visualization of CT scan images (2D and 3D), generate patient specific anatomical models of aortic root (subject device) and left atrial appendage (predicate device); enable visualization of post-deployment device deformation: Transcatheter Heart Valve device (subject device) and Transcatheter Atrial Appendage Occlusion device (predicate device). The predicate device has measurement tools in addition to the functionality described above.
- 4. Interpretation of Images: Both the subject and predicate devices outputs are interpreted by health care professionals.
- 5. Modeling Strategy: Both the subject and predicate devices provide simulation outputs of the mechanical interaction between the device specific computational model and patient specific anatomical model.
- Software Architecture: Both subject and predicate devices have DICOM data provided by 6. clinical users as input, while the simulations results are prepared by qualified engineers/ analysts and made available with the use of web-based viewers.
- Simulated Devices: Subject device provides simulation for the Balloon-expandable Edwards 7. SAPIEN 3 or Ultra devices, while the predicate device provides simulation results for Boston Scientific WATCHMAN, Boston Scientific WATCHMAN FLX, and Abbott Amplatzer Amulet devices.

### TESTING SUMMARY

PrecisionTAVI performance has been validated against post-TAVR CT images of 89 patients and with a registered error of < ±2mm for mean inflow, waist, and outflow diameter of the nominally deployed THV in ≥95% of cases, and ≤ ±0.1 for THV aspect ratio for the out-of-round deformation of the nominally deployed THV in ≥95% of cases. More than 80% of cases have been found in agreement in both clinician and engineer qualitative assessments.

THV deployment validations were performed using data derived from clinical deployments in anatomy of 89 patients that had a tricuspid aortic valve morphology, had received a SAPIEN S3/Ultra THV (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA), and had pre-TAVR as well as post-TAVR CT imaging available.

THV deformation prediction validation was performed by comparing simulated and physical/clinical device deployments. A computational model of the pre-operative aortic root geometry was reconstructed from the pre-TAVR CT image data. Then, the 3D THV model was virtually deployed into the pre-TAVR anatomy using the PrecisionTAVI software. Also, the THV geometries were reconstructed from post-operative CT image data.

Qualitative and quantitative validations were then performed by comparing the simulated THV to post-TAVR CT derived deformed THV.

{6}------------------------------------------------

The mean THV diameter at the inflow, waist and outflow regions was used to compare the agreement in predicting the THV deformation and the aspect ratio was used to evaluate agreement in predicting the out-of-round deformation of the THV.

Precision TAVI showed excellent accuracy in predicting the deployment as seen on post-TAVR CTA with 100%, 97% and 98% of all cases showing less than ± 2mm difference in THV diameter measured at the inflow, waist, and outflow regions respectively and 97%. 98% and 98% of all cases showing less than ±0.1 difference in THV aspect ratio for the out-of-round deformation between Precision TAVI simulated output and post-TAVR CTA, thus satisfying the acceptance criteria of ± 2mm for mean inflow, waist, and outflow diameter of the nominally deployed THV in ≥95% of cases, and ±0.1 for THV aspect ratio for the out-of-round deformation in ≥95% of cases.

Qualitative performance of Precision TAVI was evaluated by five (5) experienced independent clinicians in the TAVR space and three (3) trained DASI Simulations engineers. This was comprised of a side-by-side comparison of the TAVR post-procedural images (clinical outputs) with the Precision TAVI images (simulated outputs) for the (1) inflow, (2) waist, (3) outflow regions and (4) vertical cross section for each case.

Clinicians were presented with comparison image pairs spanning a range of all device sizes, age, sex, and calcium distributions and asked to respond whether they found the simulated outputs to be in close agreement with the clinical outputs. Overall, 96% of all case evaluations (48/50) were found to be in agreement with 90.5% (181/200) cut planes testing successfully, demonstrating excellent qualitative performance.

Engineers were presented with comparison image pairs spanning a range of all device sizes, age, sex, and calcium distributions and asked to respond whether they found the simulated outputs to be in close agreement with the clinical outputs. Overall, 97% and 99% of cases were found to be in agreement in eccentricity and apposition of the THV stent, thus satisfying the acceptance criteria of > 80%.

## CONCLUSIONS

The characteristics that determine the functionality and performance of DASI Simulations PrecisionTAVI, the subject device, are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The testing indicates that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate.
