Intended Use
CoLumbo is an image post-processing and measurement software tool that provides quantitative spine measurements from previously-acquired DICOM lumbar spine Magnetic Resonance (MR) images for users' review, analysis, and interpretation. It provides the following functionality to assist users in visualizing, measuring and documenting out-of-range measurements: - Feature segmentation; - Feature measurement; - Threshold-based labeling of out-of-range measurement; and - Export of measurement results to a written report for user's revise and approval. CoLumbo does not produce or recommend any type of medical diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it simply helps users to more easily identify and classify features in lumbar MR images and compile a report. The user is responsible for confirming/modifying settings, reviewing and verifying the software-generated measurements, inspecting out-of-range measurements, and approving draft report content using their medical judgment and discretion. The device is intended to be used only by hospitals and other medical institutions. Only DICOM images of MRI acquired from lumbar spine exams of patients aged 18 and above are considered to be valid input. CoLumbo does not support DICOM images of patients that are pregnant, undergo MRI scan with contrast media, or have post-operational complications, tumors, infections.
Device Story
CoLumbo is a software tool for radiologists and spine surgeons to analyze lumbar spine MRI. It takes DICOM images as input; uses deep convolutional image-to-image neural networks to perform feature segmentation and quantitative measurements; and outputs annotated images and measurement reports. Used in hospitals/medical institutions. The software identifies features and labels out-of-range measurements based on user-defined thresholds. The clinician reviews, verifies, and modifies all software-generated segmentations and measurements before final report approval. The device does not provide diagnosis; it serves as an aid to clinical workflow, helping clinicians identify anatomy and compile reports, potentially improving efficiency in measuring patient anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical study conducted. Bench testing included software design verification and a standalone performance assessment study using 100 MR image studies from 100 patients. Software outputs were compared against ground truth defined by three radiologists for segmentation and measurement accuracy.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only medical device (SaMD). Uses deep convolutional image-to-image neural networks for segmentation and measurement. Operates on DICOM MR images. Conforms to IEC 62304, IEC 82304-1, ISO 14971, IEC 62366-1, and ISO 20417.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative spine measurement from previously-acquired lumbar spine MRI DICOM images in patients aged 18+. Contraindicated for pregnant patients, those undergoing MRI with contrast, or patients with post-operational complications, tumors, or infections.
Regulatory Classification

#### Device Description 4.
CoLumbo is a medical device (software) for viewing and interpreting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine. The software is a quantitative imaging tool that assists radiologists and neuro- and spine surgeons ("users") to identify and measure lumbar spine features in medical images and record their observations in a report. The users then confirm whether the out-of-range measurements represent any true abnormality versus a spurious finding, such as an artifact or normal variation of the anatomy. The segmentation and measurements are classified using "modifiers" based on rule-based algorithms and thresholds set by each software user and stored in the user's individualized software settings. The user also identifies and classifies any other observations that the software may not annotate.
The purpose of CoLumbo is to provide information regarding common spine measurements confirmed by the user and the pre-determined thresholds confirmed or defined by the user. Every feature annotated by the software, based on the user-defined settings, must be reviewed and
{4}------------------------------------------------
affirmed by the user before the measurements of these features can be stored and reported. The software semi-automatically initiates adjustable measurements resulting from segmentation. Segmentations are not intended to be a final output but serve the purpose of visualization and calculating measurements. The device outputs are intended to be a starting point for a clinical workflow and should not be interpreted or used as a diagnosis. The user is responsible for confirming segmentation and all measurement outputs. The output is an aid to the clinical workflow of measuring patient anatomy and should not be misused as a diagnosis tool.
User-confirmed/defined settings control the sensitivity of the software for labelling measurements in an image. The user (not the software) controls the threshold for identifying outof-range measurements, and, in every case once an out-of-range measurement is identified, the user must confirm or reject its presence. The software facilitates this process by annotating or drawing contours (segmentations) around features of the relevant anatomy and displaying measurements based on these contours. The user maintains control of the process by inspecting the segmentation, measurements and annotations upon which the measurements are based. The user may also examine other features of the imaging not annotated by the software to form a complete impression and diagnostic judgment of the overall state of disease, disorder, or trauma.
#### Indications for Use న్.
CoLumbo is an image post-processing and measurement software tool that provides quantitative spine measurements from previously-acquired DICOM lumbar spine Magnetic Resonance (MR) images for users' review, analysis, and interpretation.

#### 7.5. Nonclinical Tests
Smart Soft Healthcare has performed software design verification testing and has sponsored external standalone performance assessment study. The performance data demonstrates continued conformance for medical devices containing software.
Smart Soft Healthcare conforms to the cybersecurity requirements by implementing a process of preventing unauthorized access, modifications, misuse or denial of use, or the unauthorized use of information that is stored, accessed or transferred from a medical device to an external recipient. The vulnerability assessment and penetration testing demonstrates satisfactory security performance with no critical and high risk vulnerabilities.
#### Standalone Software Performance Validation
To validate the CoLumbo software, ver. 3, from a clinical perspective, a clinical data based standalone software performance assessment study was conducted in the U.S. The standalone software performance assessment study of CoLumbo included 100 MR image studies for 100 patients of different ages and racial groups. The standalone software performance assessment study compared the CoLumbo software outputs without any editing by a radiologist to the ground truth defined by 3 radiologists on segmentations and measurements.
#### 7.6. Clinical Validation Study
No human clinical study was conducted to support the pre-market clearance.
#### 8. Conclusions
The CoLumbo software is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The subject device has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences between subject and predicate device in indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not raise new or different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled.
The software verification and validation testing data, including the standalone software performance assessment study data, supports the safety of the devices and demonstrates that the CoLumbo software performs as intended in the specified use conditions.
Therefore, the CoLumbo software is substantially equivalent.
