Intended Use
Rapid NCCT Stroke is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of (1) nonenhanced head CT (NCCT) images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained clinicians in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings of (1) head CT images for Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) and (2) NCCT large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. Rapid NCCT Stroke uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected (1) ICH or (2) NCCT LVO on the Rapid server on premise or in the cloud in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected ICH or LVO findings via PACS, email or mobile device. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only, and are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic device. The results of Rapid NCCT Stroke are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are ultimately responsible for reviewing full images per the standard of care. Rapid NCCT Stroke is for Adults only.
Device Story
Rapid NCCT Stroke is an AI/ML-based radiological triage software. It processes non-enhanced head CT (NCCT) images on-premise or in the cloud. The device runs in parallel to standard-of-care interpretation, analyzing images for suspected Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) and Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. It outputs notifications to clinicians via PACS, email, or mobile device, including compressed preview images. The device does not alter original images or serve as a primary diagnostic tool; it assists in workflow prioritization. Clinicians use these notifications to expedite review of suspected positive cases. The device benefits patients by significantly reducing time-to-notification compared to standard-of-care, potentially accelerating stroke treatment workflows.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective, blinded, multicenter, multinational study (N=254). Primary endpoint: performance in identifying ICH and LVO. ICH performance: Se 0.962, Sp 0.974. LVO performance: Se 0.635 (95% CI: 0.544-0.717), Sp 0.951 (95% CI: 0.891-0.979). Secondary endpoints: expert non-inferiority and non-expert superiority achieved. Mean time-to-notification (2.5 min) significantly faster than standard-of-care time-to-exam-open (58.72 min).
Technological Characteristics
AI/ML SaMD; operates on Rapid Platform (DICOM processing, job management). Uses cascaded algorithms (ICH module + ASPECTS and Hyperdense Vessel Sign algorithms for LVO). Connectivity: PACS, email, mobile. Standards: ISO 14971:2012, IEC 62304:2015, DICOM (NEMA PS 3.1-3.20).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing nonenhanced head CT (NCCT) scans to assist clinicians in triaging suspected Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) and Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. Contraindicated for scans with excessive motion artifacts, hemorrhagic transformation, hematoma, or very thin/absent ventricles.
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. The device does not mark, highlight, or direct users' attention to a specific location in the original image. The device does not remove cases from a reading queue. The device operates in parallel with the standard of care, which remains the default option for all cases.

# Predicate Devices:
The Rapid NCCT Stroke device is claimed to be substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed predicate device: Avicenna's CINA device (K200855).
# Device Description:
Rapid NCCT Stroke (RNS) is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software device. RNS is a non-enhanced CT (NCCT) processing module which operates within the integrated Rapid Platform to provide triage and notification of suspected intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and NCCT Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) of the ICA and MCA-M1. The RNS is an AI/ML SaMD. The output of the module is a priority notification to clinicians indicating the suspicion of ICH or NCCT LVO. ICH analysis uses the ICH Algorithm to identify findings within the ICH algorithm; and the NCCT LVO suspicion uses the combined analysis of the ASPECTS and Hyperdense Vessel Sign (HVS) algorithms. The RNS module uses the basic services supplied by the Rapid Platform including DICOM processing, job management, imaging module execution and imaging output including the notification and compressed image.

# Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
Rapid NCCT Stroke does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the previously cleared CINA device (K200855). Both devices are radiological computer-aided triage and notification software applications for determining suspicion of ICH and LVO. The Avicenna device uses both NCCT for ICH and CTA imaging for LVO, while the Rapid device uses the NCCT Scan for both indications. A significant difference between these devices is that the subject device operates on NCCT images to provide a suspected LVO notification instead of CTA. The benefits include the shorter time to a suspected LVO notification by assessing non-contrast imaging immediately, then CTA follow-up per standard of care for stroke workup. The risks stem from the lower sensitivity of the subject device, which is an inherent limitation of the modality. See SE discussion for assessment of these benefits and risks. A caution has been added to notify the user that CTA should still be considered per standard of care in stroke workup as a reinforcement AHA/ASA guidelines. Thus, the Rapid NCCT Stroke software is substantially equivalent.

# 510(k) Summary
# Performance Standards:
Rapid NCCT Stroke has been developed in conformance with the following standards, as applicable:
| EN ISO 14971:2012 | Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| IEC 62304:2015 | Medical device software – Software lifecycle processes |
| NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20 | Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) |
# Performance Data:
iSchemaView conducted a retrospective, blinded, multicenter, multinational study with the Rapid NCCT Stroke device with the primary endpoint to evaluate the software's performance in identifying NCCT head images containing intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and large vessel occlusion (LVO) findings in 254 (ICH Pos:26, LVO Pos: 115, Neg to ICH, LVO:103, Excluded: 10 for age and technical inadequacy) cases.
Sensitivity and specificity exceeded the pre-specified performance goals for ICH and NCCT LVO. Specifically, ICH performance was observed at Se:0.962, Sp:0.974, consistent with the ICH standalone module performance (K221456); and LVO was observed at Se:0.635 (95% CI: 0.544 - 0.717) and Sp: 0.951 (95% CI: 0.891 - 0.979).
In addition, secondary clinical endpoints were used to show expert non-inferiority and nonexpert superiority. Rapid NCCT Stroke passed both conditions with a Se for all readers (experts and non-experts) of 0.436, with difference in Se between NCCT Stroke and all readers of 0.199(95%C1: 0.055-0.34); Se for general radiologists of 0.409, with difference in Se of 0.226(95%CI: 0.071-0.381).

# 510(k) Summary
The Rapid NCCT time-to-notification analysis includes the time to get the DICOM exam, deidentify it (if required), analyze and send a notification back to the PACS/Workstation, email and mobile. The standard of care time-to-open-exam consisted of the time from the initial scan of the patient to when the radiologist first opened the exam for review.
Rapid NCCT Stroke time-to-notification has been documented for all 254 cases with results shown in the following table. The time time-to-exam-open is referenced from DEN170073 which was for LVO only and did not take into account the time from initial CT to CTA; however, the time indicates from image complete to notification which is similar to the subject device in referencing SoC time. The predicate does not reference combined timelines, only individual time for each portion of the device:
The standard of care time-to-exam-open (58.72 minutes: 95% CI 51.5,71.23 is significantly longer than the parallel time-to-notification of the Rapid NCCT Stroke software.
| Parameter | Mean | 95% CI Lower | 95% CI Upper |
|-----------------------------------------------------|-------|--------------|--------------|
| Time to open in standard of care (Minutes) | 58.72 | 51.50 | 71.23 |
| Time to notification of Rapid NCCT Stroke (Minutes) | 2.5 | 2.4 | 2.6 |
| Difference (Minutes) | 70.08 | NA | NA |

In summary, performance validation data, combined with real-world evidence, establish the achievement of effective triage by the Rapid NCCT Stroke device as well as effective notification functionality of the application, as compared to the standard of care for improved time-to-exam-open of a notified case. Due to the lower estimates of performance on Philips and Siemens scanners, additional analysis was performed across subgroups including sites to further assess performance. The assessment of performance on these subgroups of scanners did not reveal any systematic errors related to the device design.
# Prescriptive Statement:
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
# Safety & Effectiveness:
Rapid NCCT Stroke 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 EN ISO 14971:2019 (risk management) and the software development process conforms to ISO 62304:2015. The Rapid NCCT Stroke performance has been validated through retrospective case data based on expert reader truthing of the data and reader testing.
# Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
The subject device has the same intended use as the predicate device to provide triage and prioritization of time-sensitive suspected findings on radiological medical images. The subject device has a new indication compared to the predicate of flagging and triaging suspected LVO of the ICA and MCA-M1 on NCCT. This is expected to result in faster overall notification since NCCT is generally performed first in suspected stroke patient imaging workup. This benefit may be significant for local practices that defer ordering CTA for suspected stroke patients in their workflow.
The lower sensitivity of the device could lead to a greater risk of mis-prioritization of patients under circumstances where delay of additional imaging or treatment could reasonably be expected to worsen outcomes; it may also limit the effectiveness of the device. The risk of mis-

# 510(k) Summary
prioritization is mitigated by inclusion of specific language in the notification for cases not suspected of LVO, by the device on NCCT, to clearly indicate that LVO cannot be excluded without CTA or MRA. The risk mitigation also includes additional performance testing to demonstrate that the device is superior to the general radiologists and non-inferior to overall readers, including both neuroradiologists and general radiologists, when triaging the LVO based on NCCT. These mitigations in combination with the significant time-sensitive nature of LVO detection and treatment lead to comparable benefit-risk profile to the predicate, and the device being substantially equivalent for the labeled intended use.
# Conclusion:
In conclusion, iSchemaView's Rapid NCCT Stroke is substantially equivalent in technological characteristics, safety, and performance characteristics to the legally marketed predicate device, Avicenna CINA (K200855).
