Intended Use

CAAS Workstation is a modular software product intended to be used by or under supervision of a cardiologist or radiologist in order to aid in reading and interpreting cardiovascular X-Ray images to support diagnoses and for assistance during intervention of cardiovascular conditions.

Device Story

CAAS Workstation is a client-server image post-processing software for cardiology/radiology. It ingests DICOM X-ray angiographic images from PACS or acquisition systems. Using semi-automatic contour detection, it performs 3D reconstruction of vessels and catheter paths. Workflows include StentEnhancer (stent visualization/measurement) and vFFR (pressure drop quantification). Operated via keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen on Windows PCs in clinical environments. Results are displayed, printed, or exported to PACS/network. It aids clinicians in diagnosing and intervening in cardiovascular conditions by providing quantitative measurements of vessel structures and stenosis, supporting clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation confirmed system requirements and risk controls were implemented correctly. Performance testing compared numerical results of StentEnhancer and vFFR workflows against the predicate, showing comparable outputs. Usability testing per IEC 62366-1 confirmed user ability to perform intended tasks.

Technological Characteristics

Client-server software running on Windows OS. Supports DICOM connectivity. Features semi-automatic contour detection for 3D vessel reconstruction. Standards: ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, IEC 62366-1, IEC 82304-1, ISO 15223-1. Operates via keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen.

Indications for Use

Indicated for cardiologists or radiologists to segment cardiovascular structures, perform 3D reconstruction of vessel segments and catheter paths from angiographic images, calculate cardiovascular dimensions, quantify coronary stenosis, determine optimal C-arm positioning, quantify coronary pressure drop, and enhance/measure stents.

## Il - Device Description

CAAS Workstation is an image post-processing software package for advanced visualization and ysis in the field of cardiology or radiology and offers functionality to view X-Ray angiographic images, to segment cardiovascular structures in these images, to analyze and quantify these cardiovascular structures and to present the results in different formats.

CAAS Workstation is a client-server solution intended for usage in a network environment or standalone usage and runs on a PC with a Windows operating system. It can read DICOM X-ray images from a directory, or receive DICOM images from the X-ray or PACS system.

CAAS Workstation is composed out of the following analysis workflows: StentEnhancer and vFFR for calculating dimensions of coronary vessels, quantification of stenosis and calculating the pressure drop and vFFR value based on two 2D X-Ray angiographic images. Semi-automatic contour detection forms the basis for the analyses.

Results can be displayed on the screen, printed or saved in a variety of formats to hard disk, network, PACS system or CD. Results and clinical images with overlay can also be printed as a hardcopy and exported in various electronic formats. The functionality is independent of the type of vendor acquisition equipment.

# IV - Substantial equivalence

CAAS Workstation (K180019) is selected as a predicate device has technological features and characteristics comparable to the new CAAS Workstation and is intended to be used by or under supervision of a cardiologist or radiologist to support clinical decision making of cardiovascular conditions.

Predicate device, CAAS Workstation (K180019), is an earlier version of the new CAAS Workstation product. It provides similar functionalities by means of the analysis workflows StentEnhancer and vFFR for calculating dimensions of cardiovascular structures, quantify stenosis in coronary vessels, determine C-arm position for optimal imaging of cardiovascular structures, quantify pressure drop in coronary vessels (all part of vFFR workflow) and enhance stent visualization and measure stent dimensions (StentEnhancer workflow). All these functionalities are also supported in the new CAAS Workstation product. Other technological features available in predicate device K180019: the analysis workflows QCA, QVA, QCA3D, LVA, RVA and IV-LINQ are not present in the new CAAS Workstation product.

The other differences in technological characteristics between the predicate device K180019 and the device CAAS Workstation are that the new CAAS Workstation runs from a browser and the server-side installation can be on the system itself (standalone usage) or on a server accessible through the intranet (network environment). Predicate device K180019 is only a standalone usage device. Additionally, CAAS Workstation can be operated using keyboard, mouse and touchscreen while predicate device K180019 could only be operated using the keyboard and mouse.

New technological characteristics in the vFFR workflow in CAAS Workstation include a change in the default lesion location from minimum diameter location towards the largest percentage stenosis location and a correction for the hydrostatic pressure as a function of elevation in the pressure drop quantification.

The basic features and technology of the new CAAS Workstation are the same in terms of intended use and indications for use and have the similar technological characteristics as the predicate device CAAS Workstation (K180019). The cardiovascular functions supported by the new CAAS Workstation are also provided by the predicate device K180019. Both software applications use the same types of data and operating principles for the user and technology regarding data import, contour definition, image display and storage of results.

## V - Performance Data

Verification and validation of the new CAAS Workstation showed that the system requirements – derived from the intended use and indications for use – as well as risk control measures were implemented correctly and that the device meets its specifications including conformance to the following international standards (i.e., ISO13485, ISO14971, IEC 62304, IEC 62366-1, IEC 82304-1, and ISO 15223-1).

Performance testing demonstrated that the numerical results for the analysis workflows StentEnhancer and vFFR, as already available in predicate device K180019, were comparable.

Usability testing is performed in accordance with the IEC 62366-1 standard and demonstrated that the user is able to use CAAS Workstation for the purpose it was developed for.

All verification and validation results demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CAAS Workstation in relation to its intended use and therefore CAAS Workstation can be considered as safe and effective as its predicate device.

# VI - Conclusion

Based on the application of risk management and performance testing inherent to PMI's QA system (compliant with recognized standards as stated above) CAAS Workstation is as safe and effective as its predicate device in terms of intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, measurements and does not raise any new issues related to safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
