Device Story

FEops HEARTguide™ ALPACA is a cloud-based software platform for preprocedural planning of structural heart interventions (LAAO, TAVI). It accepts DICOM-formatted CT images as input. The device utilizes AI-based, non-adaptive machine learning algorithms to perform automated segmentation of cardiovascular structures and identify anatomical landmarks. Clinicians access the results via a web application, which provides 3D visualizations, multi-planar reconstructions (MPR), and measurement tools. The system supports human-in-the-loop workflows where a FEops case analyst performs quality checks on the automated outputs before final clinician review. The output assists clinicians in sizing and planning interventions; it does not replace manufacturer instructions for implant selection. The device benefits patients by providing precise anatomical measurements to optimize procedural planning.

To the right of the wordmark is a black speech bubble containing a white icon that resembles an open book or brackets. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## PERFORMANCE DATA Non-clinical performance data was included in the 510(k)-submission demonstrating FEops HEARTguide™ ALPACA has been validated for its intended use and is substantial equivalent to the predicate device. Software verification and validation was performed, and documentation was provided following the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". This includes verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs. In addition, documentation following "Technical Performance Assessment of Quantitative Imaging in Radiological Device Premarket Submissions" was provided to demonstrate the performance of the quantitative imaging function included within FEops HEARTguide™ ALPACA. The results of the accuracy or performance validation are summarized below. For LAAO, a study was performed on a cohort of 35 representative retrospective cases, during which quantitative outputs of FEops HEARTguide™ ALPACA were compared with manually annotated data (i.e. ground truth). The age of the studied cohort is 76.2±8.7y (50-92y), 51% were male subjects, and the LAA morphology was chicken wing (43%), reversed chicken wing (11%) or non-angulated (46%). Recent datasets representative for the intended population were used in this test cohort, covering different CT manufacturers, imaging parameters (e.g. slice thickness) and regions. No datasets were included that were used for training the AI models. A performance goal was set for the mean diameter of the semi-automatically identified landing zone, as this is considered the most important landmark for the pre-operative planning of LAAO procedures. The maximum allowed difference in percentage must be less than the predetermined performance goal of ±18%. The Bland-Altman analysis conducted on the mean diameter of the landing zone provided the following results for the semi-automatic and fully automatic outputs respectively: | | Semi-automatic output | Fully automatic output | |------------------------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------| | Mean of differences (%) | 1.4 ± 4.6 | 4.1 ± 7.2 | | Confidence interval (CI) on the mean (%) | (-0.2, 2.9) | (1.6, 6.6) | | Inferior Limit of Agreement (LoA) (%) | -7.7 | -10.1 | | Superior LoA (%) | 10.4 | 18.3 | Image /page/11/Picture/8 description: The image shows the logo for FEOPS. The logo consists of the word "FEOPS" in large, bold, black letters, followed by the tagline "insights for excellence" in a smaller, lighter font. To the right of the text is a black speech bubble containing a white icon that resembles an open book or document. {12}------------------------------------------------ | CI on inferior LoA (%) | (-10.5, -5.0) | (-14.4, -5.8) | |------------------------|---------------|---------------| | CI on superior LoA (%) | (7.7, 13.2) | (14.0, 22.6) | For the semi-automatically identified landing zone, the lower limit of the CI calculated on the inferior LoA (-10.5%) and the upper limit of the CI calculated on the superior LoA (13.2%) are within the maximum allowed difference of ±18%, so the performance goal has been met. For all quantitative output, consistent performance has been observed for all relevant subgroups including CT manufacturers, imaging parameter, patient sex and age as well as LAA morphology. The segmentation output was compared with manually annotated data (i.e. ground truth) by calculating the dice score on the region of interest: the region of the left atrium containing the ostium and the main part of the left atrial appendage. | | Semi-automatic output | Fully automatic output | |--------------------|-----------------------|------------------------| | Mean dice score | $0.98 \pm 0.01$ | $0.93 \pm 0.04$ | | Minimum Dice score | 0.95 | 0.83 | | Maximum Dice score | 0.99 | 0.97 | | Median Dice score | 0.98 | 0.94 | For TAVI, a study was performed on a cohort of 35 representative retrospective cases, during which quantitative outputs of FEops HEARTguide™ ALPACA were compared with manually annotated data (i.e. ground truth). The age of the studied cohort is 76.3±9.5y (48-91y), 46% were male subjects, and the aortic valve morphology was tricuspid in 74% of cases. Recent datasets representative for the intended population were used in this test cohort, covering different CT manufacturers, imaging parameters (e.g. slice thickness) and regions. No datasets were included that were used for training the AI models. A performance goal was set for the perimeter-based diameter of the semi-automatically identified aortic annulus, as this is considered the most important landmark for the pre-operative planning of TAVI procedures. The maximum allowed difference in percentage must be less than the predetermined performance goal of ±10%. Please note that there is no automatically calculated perimeter-based diameter of the aortic annulus, as the algorithm only identifies the annular plane, and the measurement itself requires a manual action.

For all quantitative output, consistent performance has been observed for all relevant subgroups including CT manufacturers, imaging parameter, patient sex and age as well as aortic valve morphology. The segmentation output was compared with manually annotated data (i.e. ground truth) by calculating the dice score on the region of interest: the region of the aortic root, including the ascending aorta and the left ventricle. | | Semi-automatic output | Fully automatic output | |--------------------|-----------------------|------------------------| | Mean dice score | 0.97 ± 0.01 | 0.96 ± 0.01 | | Minimum Dice score | 0.92 | 0.92 | | Maximum Dice score | 0.99 | 0.98 | | Median Dice score | 0.97 | 0.96 | # SUMMARY The characteristics that determine the functionality and performance of FEops HEART guide™ ALPACA, the subject device, are substantially equivalent to the predicate device cleared under Image /page/13/Picture/8 description: The image is a logo for FEOPS, which stands for "insights for excellence".
