Intended Use

EFAI CARDIOSUITE CTA ACUTE AORTIC SYNDROME ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (EFAI AASCTA) is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of chest or chest-abdomen CTA in adults aged 22 and older. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive cases of aortic dissection (AD) or aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) pathology. EFAI AASCTA uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to identify suspected findings. It makes case-level output available to a PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. EFAI AASCTA is not intended to direct attention to specific portions or anomalies of an image. Its results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making nor is it intended to rule out AAS or otherwise preclude clinical assessment of computed tomography angiography cases.

Device Story

EFAI AASCTA is a radiological computer-aided triage and notification software. It processes DICOM chest or chest-abdomen CTA images using a deep learning AI algorithm to detect features suggestive of aortic dissection (AD) or aortic intramural hematoma (IMH). The device operates in the background, providing case-level notifications to a PACS/workstation to prioritize radiologist worklists. It does not highlight specific image anomalies or direct attention to specific locations. Used in hospital settings by radiologists, the system aims to reduce time-to-review for urgent cases. It is a parallel workflow tool; clinicians remain responsible for full image interpretation per standard of care. The output serves only to assist in triage/prioritization and does not replace clinical assessment.

Clinical Evidence

Retrospective, blinded, multisite clinical validation study using 380 CTA studies (156 positive, 224 negative) collected in the U.S. Ground truth established by majority agreement of three board-certified radiologists. Primary endpoints: sensitivity and specificity. Results: sensitivity 0.929 (95% CI: 0.878-0.960), specificity 0.915 (95% CI: 0.871-0.945). Average processing time 37.86 seconds. Subgroup analysis confirmed performance consistency across age, gender, CT manufacturer, and image quality confounders.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based radiological triage system; utilizes deep learning AI algorithm. Inputs: DICOM chest/chest-abdomen CTA. Outputs: Case-level notification to PACS/workstation. Compliant with IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016 (software life cycle) and ISO 14971:2019 (risk management). Standalone software application.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults aged 22+ undergoing chest or chest-abdomen CTA. Assists hospital networks and medical specialists in triage by flagging suspected aortic dissection (AD) or aortic intramural hematoma (IMH). Not for stand-alone diagnostic use or ruling out AAS.

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.

#### Device Description 4.

EFAI CARDIOSUITE CTA ACUTE AORTIC SYNDROME ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (EFAI AASCTA) is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software system. The software uses deep learning techniques to automatically analyze chest or chest-abdomen CTA and alerts the PACS/RIS workstation once images with features suggestive of AD or IMH are identified.

Through the use of EFAI AASCTA, a radiologist is able to review studies with features suggestive of AD or IMH earlier than in standard of care workflow.

The device is intended to provide a passive notification through the PACS/workstation to the radiologists indicating the existence of a case that may potentially benefit from the prioritization. It does not mark, highlight, or direct users' attention to a specific location on the original chest or chest-abdomen CTA. The device aims to aid in prioritization and triage of radiological medical images only.

The logo features a stylized human figure in teal, with a green globe-like shape with interconnected nodes as the head. The text "EVER FORTUNE.AI" is written in teal to the right of the figure, with the word "FORTUNE" having a similar globe-like shape in place of the letter "O".

#### 7. Performance Data

Performance of the EFAI AASCTA has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing. Additionally, the software validation activities were performed in accordance with IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016 - Medical device software - Software life cycle processes, in addition to the FDA Guidance documents, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" and "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions."

Ever Fortune.AI conducted a retrospective, blinded, multisite clinical validation study with the proposed device EFAI AASCTA with a pre-determined primary and secondary endpoint and performance goals to evaluate the performance of the EFAI AASCTA in identifying positive findings of aortic dissection (AD) or aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) from chest or chest-abdomen CTA scans on a validation dataset of 380 CTA studies (156 positives and 224 negatives) consecutively collected in the United States. None of the studies was used as part of the EFAI AASCTA model development or analytical validation testing.

The study population contained 51.58% females and 48.42% males, and the mean age of cases was 62.90 years. The CT scanner manufacturers of images were acquired from Philips, Toshiba, Siemens. GE, and others. Confounding cases in the dataset include possible confounders as follows: Artifact. Limited Field, Atherosclerotic Disease, Aortic Aneurysm, Arterial Dissection, and Vessel Disease.

The presence of AD or IMH in each case was determined independently by three U.S. board-certified radiologists, and the reference standard (ground truth) was generated by the majority agreement between the three experts. The performance criteria were set such that the lower bounds of 95% confidence intervals (Cls) of both sensitivity and specificity should exceed 0.8.

The observed results of the standalone performance validation study demonstrated that EFAI AASCTA by itself, in the absence of any interaction with a clinician, can provide case-level notifications with features suggestive of positive findings (AD or IMH) with satisfactory results. The EFAI AASCTA was able to demonstrate sensitivity and specificity of 0.929 (95% CI=0.878-0.960) and 0.915 (95% CI=0.871-0.945) respectively, which is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (BriefCase, K222329). The secondary endpoint of the observed system processing time per study is 37.86 seconds (95% CI=35.22-40.50) on average and was comparable with the predicate device (38 seconds).

{7}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image contains a logo for a company called "EVER FORTUNE.AI". The logo consists of a stylized figure with a circular head and a body that resembles a "T". The head is green and has a network-like pattern on it, while the body is teal. To the right of the figure, the company name is written in teal, with "EVER" on the top line and "FORTUNE.AI" on the bottom line.

In addition, the results of the subgroup analysis, which included different genders, age groups. CT manufacturer groups, and CT slice thickness groups, demonstrated that EFAI AASCTA consistently performed high performance, underscoring its reliability and effectiveness across diverse subgroups. We also evaluated the device's performance in cases with image quality issues (including Artifact and Limited Field) and accompanying radiologic findings (including Atherosclerotic Disease, Aortic Aneurysm, Arterial Dissection, and Vessel Disease) to assess the impact of these potential confounders. The device consistently performed reliably across these circumstances. Furthermore, our analysis of the device's ability to identify specific characteristics of positive findings, including their type, Stanford classification, and location, revealed that EFAI AASCTA maintains stable performance. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the EFAI AASCTA device is determined to be substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device. BriefCase.

#### 8. Safety & Effectiveness

EFAI AASCTA has been designed, verified and validated in compliance with 21 CFR, Part 820.30 requirements. The device has been designed to meet the requirements associated with ISO 14971:2019 Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices. The EFAI AASCTA performance has been validated using retrospective data from case data and through the use of Reader comparison analysis.

#### 9. Conclusion

Based on the information submitted in this premarket notification, and based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, the EFAI AASCTA raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, efficacy, and performance.
