Device Story

inHEART MODELS is a software suite for 3D cardiac visualization and analysis. It consists of three modules: inHEART MODELS AI (automatic 3D segmentation of CT images using machine learning), inHEART MODELS Shaper (generates 3D heart models from CT/MR), and inHEART MODELS Explorer (web-based 3D visualization, annotation, and export). Used by cardiologists and radiologists in clinical settings to plan therapeutic interventions. The AI module processes CT inputs to generate initial segmentations, which are then reviewed and edited by experts using the Shaper module. The final 3D models assist clinicians in interpreting anatomy and planning procedures, potentially improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes through enhanced visualization.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation study compared automated segmentation outputs against a Ground Truth (GT) established by expert radiologists using the predicate device. 100 CT cases were analyzed. Performance metrics: mean Dice coefficient 0.94, mean Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) 1.17mm, and mean volume variation 7%. All validation criteria (Dice >0.9, ASSD <5mm, volume diff <20mL) were met, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate.

Device Description inHEART MODELS is a suite of medical image processing software tools that enables 3D visualization and analysis of anatomical structures. This software suite is composed of three software as a medical device components: - . inHEART MODELS AI: a medical image processing software for automatic 3D modelling, used to pre-process medical images (acquired only by CT devices). This software module uses a machine-learning based approach with the following characteristics: - Training dataset: 796 cases (3D CT original images and the segmentation । masks) from previously manually performed segmentations (time period 2018-2022); origins of the data are public and private clinical and hospital institutions located in US (40%) and Europe (60%). - -Training process: Machine learning algorithm (UNet) is trained applying data augmentation (including patch mirroring) and regularization (including Instance Normalization, Dropout, Data Augmentation, Weight Initialization, Leaky ReLU Activation) methods. Loss functions (soft dice loss and binary cross entropy) and optimization methods (stochastic gradient descent) are used during learning over a fixed number of 1000 epochs, each consisting of 250 iterations with a batch size of 2. - Data anonymized prior to its processing by inHEART team, therefore no । personal data (gender, age, ethnicity) is exploitable. CT scanner manufacturers include Siemens (40%). GE Medical Systems (30%). Toshiba (10%) and other manufacturers (20%) among which Philips and Canon. - inHEART MODELS Shaper: a standalone image processing software used to . generate digital 3D models of the patient heart from medical images acquired by CT and/or MR devices and; - inHEART MODELS Explorer: a web-based 3D visualization software that permits . display, review, analysis, annotation and export of the cardiac 3D models generated from inHEART MODELS Shaper. Specifically, these software modules read DICOM compatible pre-operative CT and MR images acquired by commercially available imaging devices. These images are then processed to generate 3D models of the anatomy to allow qualified medical professionals to display, review, analyze, annotate, interpret, export, and plan therapeutic interventions. inHEART MODELS software suite also includes two non-device Medical Device Data Systems (MDDS) modules that are only intended to transfer, store and convert formats. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for "inHEART".

The heart shape is composed of two overlapping sections, with the left section being a lighter shade of blue and the right section being a darker shade of blue. The word "inHEART" is written in a sans-serif font, with each letter being a slightly different shade of blue. The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate device: - The predicate uses a combination of manual and semi-automated processing . and segmentation. The proposed device uses fully automated reformatting (reslice tool) and segmentation steps using a new software module "inHEART MODELS AI", followed by review and additional manual and semi-automated processing and segmentation through existing and already cleared software module "inHEART MODELS Shaper". The original processing and updated processing sequences have been validated to demonstrate that the outputs are substantially equivalent. The indications for Use statement for the subject and predicate devices is similar. #### 4. Performance data and assessment The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination: Software verification and validation testing were conducted on all ● inHEART MODELS software modules and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." inHEART MODELS was considered as a "moderate" level of concern. In addition, accuracy of segmentations for inHEART MODELS was . compared to ground truth and to predicate device inHEART MODELS (K220727). In this study, the ability of the new automated software module was assessed to perform initial segmentations of medical images that, in conjunction with predicate device, allow to produce results comparable to what is obtained using FDAapproved predicate device alone. The study consists in the following steps: 1. Approval by external experts (radiologists) of segmentations previously obtained with the predicate device, that will constitute the Ground Truth (GT) 2. Comparison of unprocessed outputs of the new automated software module results with the GT to establish the internal validation of the tool performance 3. Comparison of new automated software module segmentations after their review and edition by expert users using predicate device with the GT validated in step 1 to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate and proposed device. Details about this performance validation study: - Testing dataset: 100 CT cases were randomly selected on the time period year -2023 to ensure independence of training/testing datasets; the sources are similar to the training dataset including new clients. In order to use this as a ground truth, two external experts evaluated the concordance of the manual segmentations for the task in which the use of this software is inscribed. - Testing criteria: since the objective is to provide the expert segmenter with an initialization of the segmentation required for producing the 3D models, the {8}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for inHEART.

The word "inHEART" is written in a sans-serif font, also in shades of blue, and is positioned to the right of the heart shape. criteria used for performance are Dice coefficient (>0.9 for acceptance without manual correction), Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) (<5mm for acceptance without manual correction), a volumetric analysis of the produced model (<20 mL for acceptance without manual correction, <15mL absolute and <10% relative after correction for the main chambers). These thresholds are defined considering that the purpose of this module is not to replace manual expert segmentation but to accelerate its process. A subgroup analysis was performed on scanner manufacturers, region, CT quality, and different etiology information provided for the processing of the patient's case by our experts (including pathologies or implanted devices). - Performance testing results: The following table depict corresponding DICE and ASSD scores and volume quantification for each structure among the 100 cases of this study, computed between the revised segmentations made by experts based on Al results versus GT. | | DICE | | | ASSD | | | Volume diff.

All validation criteria were met, and the performance evaluation study demonstrated that output segmentations and measurements on these segmentations for inHEART MODELS were substantially equivalent to previously cleared legally marketed software devices. {9}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image contains a logo with a stylized heart shape on the left and the word "inHEART" on the right. The heart shape is rendered in shades of blue, with a gradient effect that gives it a three-dimensional appearance. The word "inHEART" is written in a sans-serif font, also in shades of blue, with a gradient that matches the heart shape. The overall design is clean and modern, suggesting a focus on health or medical technology. ## 4. Conclusion No new safety or efficacy issues were introduced by inHEART MODELS compared to the predicate device. inHEART MODELS has similar intended use, similar labeling, similar indications for use and clinical application tools as those of the cleared predicate device inHEART MODELS (K220727). Furthermore, performance data demonstrate that the functionality, output and clinical usage of inHEART MODELS is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
