Intended Use

Careverse CoronaryDoc is a web-based software application that is intended to be used by trained medical professionals as an interactive tool for viewing and analyzing cardiac computed tomography (CT) data for determining the presence and extent of coronary plaques (i.e., atherosclerosis) and stenosis in patients who underwent Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) for evaluation of CAD or suspected CAD. This software post processes CT images obtained using any Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. The software provides tools for the measurement and visualization of coronary arteries. The software is not intended to replace the skill and judgment of a qualified medical practitioner and should only be used by people who have been appropriately trained in the software’s functions, capabilities and limitations.

Dear Huiyu Shi:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

4. Device Description

Careverse CoronaryDoc is a B/S architecture and is suitable for DICOM medical image viewing, 3D reconstruction and post-processing and stenosis and plaque analysis. Based on the axial image data of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), Careverse CoronaryDoc automatically extracts the coronary region, detects suspected stenosis lesions in this area, and further performs automatic plaque analysis. At the same time, the software can also automatically detect stents and bridges. Users can modify the degree of stenosis, plaque type, stent, and bridge tips to form a structured report to assist physicians in diagnosing coronary heart disease.

The module functions include user login, image list, vascular segmentation and reconstruction, coronary branch naming, coronary stenosis, plaque, stent, myocardial bridge analysis, plaque detailed analysis, editing segmentation, editing blood vessels, editing naming, image operation tools, structured reports, push printing, management configuration, platform management, and transmission queues.

# 7. Performance Data

Software verification and validation activities were performed. During product development, potential hazards were controlled by a risk management plan including activities of risk analysis, risk mitigation, verification and risk-benefit analysis. Verification and validation demonstrated that the device meets all of its specification.

Besides, the performance of the software was compared to ground truth results produced by US expert readers. The results are summarized as the following.

For the segmentation performance, both Dice Coefficient and $95\%$ Hausdorff Distance have met the acceptable criteria. The value of Dice Coefficient is 0.899, which is higher than the acceptable criteria 0.842. The value of $95\%$ Hausdorff Distance is 4.366, which is less than 6.46.

For the labeling performance, the accuracy on case level is $93.10\%$ , the accuracy on vessel level is $98.21\%$ . Results have met the acceptable criteria.

For the stenosis performance, the results are shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Stenosis Performance

| Stenosis Grade | n | m | Agreement | Lower 95% CI | Higher 95% CI |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| minor stenosis | 160 | 146 | 91.25% | 85.75% | 95.13% |
| minimal stenosis | 100 | 87 | 87.00% | 78.80% | 92.89% |
| moderate stenosis | 94 | 82 | 87.23% | 78.76% | 93.23% |
| severe stenosis | 86 | 72 | 83.72% | 74.20% | 90.80% |
| complete occlusion | 34 | 31 | 91.18% | 76.32% | 98.14% |

Notes:

- n: Total number of measurements for that stenosis grade.
- m: Number of measurements where the predicted stenosis grade exactly matched the labeled stenosis grade.
