Intended Use

Neuro Insight V1.0 is an image processing solution. It is intended to assist appropriately trained medical professionals in their analysis workflow on neurological MRI images. Neuro Insight V1.0 is composed of two subsets, including an image processing application package (NeuroPro) and an optional user interface (Neuro Synchronizer). NeuroPro is an image processing application package that computes maps, extracts and communicates metrics which are to be used in the analysis of multiphase or monophase neurological MR images. NeuroPro can be integrated and deployed through technical integration environment, responsible for transferring, storing, converting formats and displaying of DICOM imaging data. Neuro Synchronizer is an optional dedicated interface allowing the viewing, manipulation, and comparison of neurological medical imaging and/or multiple time-points, including post-processing results provided by NeuroPro or any other results from compatible processing applications. Neuro Synchronizer is a medical image management application intended to enable the user to edit and modify parameters that are optional inputs of aforementioned applications. These modified parameters are provided through the technical integration environment as inputs to the application to reprocess outputs. If necessary, Neuro Synchronizer provides the user with the option to validate the information. Neuro Synchronizer can be integrated in compatible technical integration environments. The device does not alter the original medical image. Neuro Insight V1.0 is not intended to be used as a standalone diagnostic device and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. The results of Neuro Insight V1.0 are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with reading and interpretation of medical images. Users are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care.

Device Story

Neuro Insight V1.0 is a neurological MRI image processing solution comprising two subsets: NeuroPro (processing application) and Neuro Synchronizer (optional visualization/manipulation interface). It accepts DICOM neurological MR images (FLAIR, T1, T2, T1g, diffusion, DSC perfusion) as input. NeuroPro computes parametric maps (CBV, CBF, MTT, TTP, Tmax/Delay, CBV_corr, K2, tMIP) and extracts metrics. Neuro Synchronizer allows users to view, compare, and edit optional input parameters (e.g., arterial input function) for reprocessing. Used in clinical/hospital environments by trained professionals; output assists in reading/interpretation of images. Does not alter original images. Benefits include automated, reproducible neuroimaging analysis to support clinical decision-making.

Neuro Insight V1.0 is composed of two subsets: - NeuroPro (NEU_PRO_MR) as an image application package, responsible for the processing of specific neurological MR Images. - Neuro Synchronizer (NEU_HMI_MM) as an optional image analysis environment, that provides the user interface which has visualization and manipulation tools and allows the user to edit the parameters of compatible applications. Neuro Insight does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. {6} # Intended Use / Indications for Use Neuro Insight V1.0 is an image processing solution. It is intended to assist appropriately trained medical professionals in their analysis workflow on neurological MRI images. Neuro Insight V1.0 is composed of two subsets, including an image processing application package (NeuroPro) and an optional user interface (Neuro Synchronizer). NeuroPro is an image processing application package that computes maps, extracts and communicates metrics which are to be used in the analysis of multiphase or monophase neurological MR images.

The device does not alter the original medical image. Neuro Insight V1.0 is not intended to be used as a standalone diagnostic device and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. The results of Neuro Insight V1.0 are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with reading and interpretation of medical images. Users are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care. # Indications for Use Comparison Both Neuro Insight V1.0 and Olea Sphere® V3.0 are user-defined software analysis tools used for the analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Both devices are intended for use in Clinical/Hospital Environment, by any trained professional. Importantly, neither software product is used for diagnosis. Patient management decisions should not be based solely on the results of either software. The minor difference in the indications for use between the two devices is that Neuro Insight V1.0 subject device provides processing capabilities for MR only whereas Olea Sphere® V3.0 predicate device provides processing capabilities for both MR and CT. Neuro Insight V1.0 subject device represents a subset of Olea Sphere® V3.0 predicate device. Therefore, the indication for use of Neuro Insight V1.0 is considered substantially equivalent to Diffusion, Perfusion, Olea Vision, Analysis and Longitudinal Analysis Mono modules of Olea Sphere® V3.0. {7} # Technological Comparison Both Neuro Insight V1.0 and Olea Sphere V3.0 have similar technological characteristics as they both: - provide processing capabilities for the analysis of FLAIR, T1, T2, T1g, diffusion and DSC perfusion series; - are designed to be able to process FLAIR, T1, T2, T1g, diffusion and DSC perfusion series; - are able to provide the same outputs for FLAIR, T1, T2, T1g, diffusion and DSC perfusion metrics (CBV, CBF, MTT, TTP, Tmax/Delay, CBV_corr, K2, tMIP); - provide the same standard viewing tools and edition of parameters that are optional inputs of compatible docker applications. Currently, with NeuroPro being the only compatible application, the only editable parameter is arterial input function (AIF) selection. As with the FDA-cleared Olea S.I.A Neurovascular V1.0 (K223532), the user can adjust the AIF automatically calculated by the application (by NeuroPro) as needed and request a recalculation of the results using the desired value. The implementation and management of this feature are exactly the same as in Olea S.I.A Neurovascular V1.0. The minor differences in the technological characteristics between the two devices are: - Neuro Insight V1.0 uses a motion correction algorithm based on a 3D rigid method before DSC perfusion maps computation, while Olea Sphere® V3.0 uses a 2D rigid motion correction algorithm. This difference does not impact the calculation method of the outputs. This motion correction algorithm based on a 3D rigid method has already been cleared as a component of MR Diffusion Perfusion Mismatch V1.0 (Olea Medical, France), FDA-cleared (K223502). - Neuro Insight V1.0 uses a brain extraction tool (BET) based on a 3D deep learning algorithm before DSC perfusion maps computation, while Olea Sphere® V3.0 uses thresholds based on a histogram analysis of the MR images. For more information about this deep learning testing and validation process please refer to "About Deep learning algorithm for BET" below. This difference does not impact the calculation method of the outputs. - Neuro Insight V1.0 uses co-registration algorithms based on 3D rigid 6-dof transformation, while Olea Sphere® V3.0 uses IPP IOP DICOM tags to locate and align volumes. However, these minor differences in the technological characteristics between both devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. # About Deep learning algorithm for BET To filter out the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), surrounding noise and background pixels on raw images, MR DSC Perfusion includes a brain extraction algorithm for MR PWI series. This brain extraction algorithm uses a 3D U-Net architecture, consisting of 6 layers (16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512), and was optimized using both DICE and Tversky metrics. It was trained with 362 manually annotated MR volumes split in train (199 cases), validation (63 cases) and test (100 cases) dataset. The database was sourced to ensure broad representativeness depending on the manufacturer, magnetic field, acquisition parameters, origin, patient age and sex. The manual segmentation was performed by expert clinicians following criteria defined by a US board certified neuroradiologist. Two labels were used: one for the brain tissue and one for the voxels who do not belong to brain tissue (background). Cases were collected from multiple MRI system manufacturers: 114 cases from GE Healthcare (48% at 1.5T, 52% at 3T), 127 from Siemens (64% at 1.5T, 36% at 3T), 95 from Philips (70% at 1.5T, 30% at 3T), 25 from Canon formerly Toshiba (60% at 1.5T, 40% at 3T), and one case with unknown manufacturer information due to severe DICOM anonymization. {8} Patient demographics comprised 51% male subjects, 43% female subjects, with 6% lacking gender information due to DICOM anonymization protocols. Age information was limited due to anonymization processes, with over half of the dataset missing age data. Among available cases, the mean age was 60 years with a range spanning from 14 to 100 years, representing a diverse patient population across different age groups. Ground truth brain masks were created by experienced clinicians following a standardized annotation protocol defined by a U.S. board-certified neuroradiologist. The protocol included all brain structures—hemispheres and lesions—while explicitly excluding non-brain anatomical elements such as the skull, eyeballs, and optic nerves. Each segmentation was reviewed by a neuroradiologist and a research engineer to ensure consistency and accuracy across the dataset. A 5-fold cross-validation procedure was applied to assess performance stability and generalizability across different scanner types and patient profiles. The achieved average DICE coefficient of 0.97, ranging from 0.907 to 0.988, exceeds the predetermined acceptance threshold of 0.95. These results demonstrate excellent spatial overlap between automated segmentations and expert-annotated ground truth masks, as well as high segmentation accuracy and consistent reliability across diverse clinical scenarios. These conclusions confirm the algorithm's robustness and reliability, enabling accurate and reproducible brain extraction as part of automated neuroimaging workflows. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions Olea Medical has conducted validation testing of the Neuro Insight V1.0. Internal verification, usability and validation testing confirms that the product specifications are met, and support of the substantial equivalence of the intended use and technological characteristics to the predicate device. Neuro Insight V1.0 has been validated to ensure that the system, as a whole, provides all the capabilities necessary to operate according to its intended use and in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The following performance evaluations were conducted: - Product risk assessment; - Software modules verification tests; - Usability assessment; - Software validation test. All software features of Neuro Insight V1.0 have undergone verification and usability testing to ensure proper performance and safe integration into clinical workflows. Specific attention was given to features identified through risk analysis, which were evaluated with consideration of human factors. Testing was performed in alignment with the intended use and user instructions. No issues were reported by operators during testing, and no clinically significant failures or incidents occurred. Based on the performance testing, the Neuro Insight V1.0 has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device. Neuro Insight V1.0 was quantitatively and qualitatively compared to Olea Sphere® V3.0 software (Olea Medical®, FDA-cleared - K152602), identified as the predicate device. {9} Two main features were evaluated: - Parametric maps computation: ADC, CBF, CBV, CBV_Corr, K2, MTT, TTP, Tmax/Delay, tMIP; Neuro Insight V1.0 and Olea Sphere® V3.0 were quantitatively and qualitatively compared by three US board-certified neuroradiologists using 30 anonymized brain MRI cases. For each DWI and DSC parametric maps, the statistical and/or visual analysis of the results derived from this comparison supported the substantial equivalence of performance between Neuro Insight V1.0 subject device and Olea Sphere® V3.0 predicate device. - Intra- and inter-exam co-registration: FLAIR-DWI, FLAIR-DSC, FLAIR-T1, FLAIR-T1g, FLAIR-T2, and FLAIR-follow-up FLAIR. Neuro Insight V1.0 was qualitatively assessed by the three US board-certified neuroradiologists using 60 anonymized brain MRI cases. The visual analysis reported that all 6 co-registrations (FLAIR-DWI, FLAIR-DSC, FLAIR-T1, FLAIR-T1g, FLAIR-T2, FLAIR-follow-up FLAIR) provided by Neuro Insight V1.0 subject device were considered as acceptable for reading and interpretation. Neuro Insight V1.0 subject device has substantially equivalent indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as Olea Sphere V3.0 predicate device. The minor technological differences between Neuro Insight V1.0 and its predicate device raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness, as the user confirmation feature is included in the reference device which was cleared for the same intended use. The methods for verification and validation testing of the subject device are well-supported in this regulation and by the predicate and reference devices' clearances, and data from such testing demonstrates the device's safety and performance. Thus, Neuro Insight V1.0 is substantially equivalent to predicate Olea Sphere V3.0.
