Intended Use

EFAI HNSeg is a software device intended to assist trained radiation oncology professionals, including, but not limited to, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and dosimetrists, during their clinical workflows of radiation therapy treatment planning by providing initial contours of organs at risk in the head and neck region on non-contrast CT images. EFAI HNSeg is intended to be used on adult patients only. The contours are generated by deep-learning algorithms and then transferred to radiation therapy treatment planning systems. EFAI HNSeg must be used in conjunction with a DICOM-compliant treatment planning system to review and edit results generated. EFAI HNSeg is not intended to be used for decision making or to detect lesions. EFAI HNSeg is an adjunct tool and is not intended to replace a clinician's judgment and manual contouring of the normal organs on CT. Clinicians must not use the software generated output alone without review as the primary interpretation.

Device Story

EFAI HNSeg is a standalone software device for radiation oncology workflows; receives non-contrast CT images in DICOM format; utilizes deep-learning algorithms to automatically delineate organs-at-risk (OARs) in the head and neck region; outputs contours in DICOM-RTSTRUCT format. Deployed on a specialized server within a local hospital network; requires no user interaction during processing. Clinicians use a separate DICOM-compliant treatment planning system to review, edit, and finalize the software-generated contours. Serves as an adjunct tool to assist clinicians; does not replace manual contouring or clinical judgment; intended to improve efficiency in treatment planning.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Non-inferiority standalone performance study compared mean Dice coefficients of EFAI HNSeg-generated head and neck OAR contours against the AccuContour predicate. Results confirmed non-inferiority with a margin of 0.1 Dice, deemed clinically acceptable.

Technological Characteristics

Standalone software; deep-learning-based segmentation; runs on Linux Ubuntu 20.04; requires specialized server hardware; DICOM-compliant input/output; no user interface; integrated into local hospital network; software lifecycle compliant with IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016.

Indications for Use

Indicated for trained radiation oncology professionals (radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists) to assist in radiation therapy treatment planning by providing initial contours of organs at risk in the head and neck region on non-contrast CT images for adult patients. Not for lesion detection or clinical decision-making.

Device Description EFAI RTSuite CT HN-Segmentation System, herein referred to as EFAI HNSeg, is a standalone software that is designed to be used by trained radiation oncology professionals to automatically delineate head-and-neck organs-at-risk (OARs) on CT images. This auto-contouring of OARs is intended to facilitate radiation therapy workflows. The device receives CT images in DICOM format as input and automatically generates the contours of OARs, which are stored in DICOM format and in RTSTRUCT modality. The device does not offer a user interface and must be used in conjunction with a DICOM-compliant treatment planning system to review and edit results. Once data is routed to EFAI HNSeg, the data will be processed and no user interaction is required, nor provided. The deployment environment is recommended to be in a local network with an existing hospitalgrade IT system in place. EFAI HNSeg should be installed on a specialized server supporting deep learning processing. The configurations are only being operated by the manufacturer: - Local network setting of input and output destinations; ● - Presentation of labels and their color; ● - Processed image management and output (RTSTRUCT) file management. ● #### 5.

The logo consists of a stylized teal-colored figure with a circular head made of interconnected dots, resembling a network. To the right of the figure, the words "EVER" and "FORTUNE.AI" are written in a teal sans-serif font, with the word "FORTUNE.AI" appearing below "EVER" and slightly offset to the right. The logo has a clean and modern design. The proposed device, EFAI HNSeg, is substantially equivalent to the claimed predicate, AccuContour™ (K191928). ## 7. Performance Data Performance of the EFAI HNSeg v1.0 has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing. Additionally, the software validation activities were performed in accordance with IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016 - Medical device software – Software life cycle processes, in addition to the FDA Guidance documents, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices"(2005) and the recently published "Content of Premarket submissions for Devices Software Functions (11-04-2021), and "Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices. " To establish the contour performance of EFAI HNSeg, a non-inferiority standalone performance test was performed. This non-inferiority test compared the mean Dice coefficient of the automatically generated head and neck OAR contours for EFAI HNSeg against that of the predicate device, AccuContour™. The results demonstrate that the EFAI HNSeg device was noninferior to the predicate by at least a non-inferiority limit of 0.1 Dice, which was the largest {7}------------------------------------------------ K220264 Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for EVER FORTUNE.AI. The logo consists of a stylized human figure in teal with a green globe on top of its head. To the right of the figure is the text "EVER" in teal, with "FORTUNE.AI" below it, also in teal. The globe on the figure's head is made up of interconnected dots, suggesting a network or global connection. difference that is clinically acceptable based on previous studies, and thus we conclude that equivalence has been demonstrated. ## 8. Conclusion Based on the information submitted in this premarket notification, and based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, the EFAI HNSeg v1.0 raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, effectiveness, and performance.
