ME-APDS (Magentiq Eye’s Automatic Polyp Detection System) is intended to be used by endoscopists as an adjunct to the common video colonoscopy procedure (screening and surveillance), aiming to assist the endoscopist in identifying lesions during colonoscopy procedure by highlighting regions with visual characteristics consistent with different types of mucosal abnormalities that appear in the colonoscopy video during the procedure. Highlighted regions can be independently assessed by the endoscopist and appropriate action taken according to standard clinical practice. ME-APDS is trained to process video images which may contain regions consistent with polyps. ME-APDS is limited for use with standard white-light endoscopy imaging only. ME-APDS is intended to be used as an adjunct to endoscopy procedures and is not intended to replace histopathological sampling as means of diagnosis.
Device Story
ME-APDS (MAGENTIQ-COLO) is a real-time computer-aided detection (CADe) software for colonoscopy. It acquires digital video output from endoscopy cameras; processes frames using deep machine learning to identify regions consistent with polyps; and presents highlighted areas on a separate screen. The system includes a tool-detection feature that suppresses bounding boxes when endoscopic tools (forceps, snares, pumps, shafts) are in the field of view. Used in clinical settings by endoscopists; the device assists in lesion identification during procedures. The physician independently assesses highlighted regions to guide clinical decisions. The device does not replace histopathological diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench-only testing. Evaluated on 252 unique full colonoscopy videos (806 polyps). Primary endpoints included polyp detection recall (frame-wise and polyp-wise) and tool detection reliability. Overall FRecall was 73.0% [70.58%, 75.65%]. Tool detection feature evaluated on a subset of videos containing forceps, pumps, shafts, and snares, achieving high recall (TRecall1 99.7% [99.15%, 100%]) and FPPF of 0.0118. All testing met pre-specified acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
CADe engine using deep machine learning; processes real-time video frames from standard white-light endoscopy. Features include automated polyp detection and tool detection (forceps, snares, pumps, shafts) to suppress bounding boxes. Software-based; standalone application. No specific materials or energy sources listed as it is software-only.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by endoscopists as an adjunct to standard white-light video colonoscopy (screening and surveillance) to assist in identifying mucosal abnormalities/polyps. Not for diagnosis or characterization; does not replace histopathological sampling.

Date Prepared: August 4, 2025
Name of Device: Magentiq Eye's Automatic Polyp Detection System (ME-APDS™)
Trade Name: MAGENTIQ-COLO™
Common or Usual Name: Computer aided detection software for colorectal polyps
Classification Name: Gastrointestinal Lesion Software Detection System
Regulatory Class: II
Product Code: QNP
Predicate Device: Magentiq Eye's Automatic Polyp Detection System (K244023)
Device Description:
ME-APDS™/MAGENTIQ-COLO is intended to be used as an adjunct to the common video colonoscopy procedure. The system application aims to assist the endoscopist in identifying lesions, such as polyps, during the colonoscopy procedures in real time. The device is not intended to be used for diagnosis or characterization of lesions, and does not replace clinical decision making.
The system acquires the digital video output signal from the local endoscopy camera and processes the video frames. It runs deep machine learning and additional supporting algorithms in real time on the video frames in order to detect and identify regions having characteristics consistent with different types of mucosal abnormalities such as polyps. The output video with the detected lesions is presented on a separate screen, highlighting the suspicious areas on the original video. The user can also take snapshots of the videos, with and without the highlighting of the suspicious areas, record videos and view in full screen mode. The ME-APDS™ includes an additional feature that removes the presentation of the bounding box once the physician has inserted an endoscopic tool (e.g. snare or forceps) into the endoscopic field of view.

## Summary of Technological Characteristics:
Computer-Aided Polyp Detection (CADe) engine is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. The major roles of CADe engine during colonoscopy is to process a video frame and to indicate the presence and location of detected lesions (such as polyps) in real time during colonoscopy procedure in order to improve mucosal lesion detection rates, thus improving the performance of the endoscopist.
The proposed device is a modification to the company cleared device. The proposed device labeling has been updated to identify an additional compatible endoscopy systems, and the system includes a feature that removes the presentation of the bounding box once the physician has inserted an endoscopic tool (e.g. snare or forceps) into the endoscopic field of view. The AI Polyp detection algorithm remains identical to the predicate device.
## Performance Data:
Conducted Testing:
The additional compatible endoscopy system was evaluated on the standalone performance testing database. The following testing was conducted:
- Standalone algorithm performance testing was conducted to assess polyp detection frame-wise recall, polyp-wise recall, and median of polyp coverage. All testing met pre-specified acceptance criteria demonstrating that polyp detection performance is appropriately maintained when the tool detection is active
- Marker Annotation delay testing. Marker annotation delay was assessed which demonstrated adequate performance. All testing met pre-specified acceptance criteria.
The Tool Detection feature was evaluated on a subset of the standalone performance testing database videos containing forceps, pumps, shafts, cold snares, and hot snares. The following testing was conducted:
- Standalone algorithm performance testing was conducted to assess polyp detection frame-wise recall, polyp-wise recall, and median of polyp coverage. All testing met pre-specified acceptance criteria demonstrating that polyp detection performance is appropriately maintained when the tool detection is active.

All testing met pre-specified acceptance criteria demonstrating tool detection reliability.
In summary, the testing results discussed above were observed to be as expected and support that the device has similar performance to the predicate device.
# Conclusions:
The modified ME-APDS/MAGENTIQ-COLO™ is as safe and effective as the company's prior cleared ME-APDS. The modified ME-APDS has the same intended uses and indications, similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences do not alter the intended use and raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the modified ME-APDS is as safe and effective as the cleared ME-APDS. Thus, the modified ME-APDS /MAGENTIQ-COLO™ is substantially equivalent.
