Indications for Use

BioTraceIO Precision is intended to provide physicians with adjunctive information in their clinical assessment of ablation zone created by liver tissue ablation, as part of their overall post-procedure clinical assessment. BioTraceIO Precision generates and depicts a map (BioTrace Map or BTM) post-procedure, that correlates with image findings seen with Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) obtained at 24hours post treatment. The information is provided in the 2D ultrasound plane. This is the only plane and location displayed. No imaging of other portions of the ablation zone is available. During the ablation procedure BioTraceIO Precision overlays the reference ablation zone (RAZ) provided by the ablation device manufacturer on the ultrasound image. BioTraceIO Precision is indicated for use in patients undergoing radiofrequency (RF) or microwave (MW) liver ablation procedures. BioTraceIO Precision is not intended for standalone prediction or for diagnostic purposes. BioTraceIO Precision does not support the use of multiple needles, either simultaneously or consecutively. Manual ablation target contours and margins as defined by the user are not intended for diagnosis, to predict ablation volumes or predict ablation success. The physician should not rely on BioTraceIO Precisions about patient management post treatment nor should BioTraceIO Precision serve as a substitute for any other assessment method, e.g., CT scans.

Device Story

BioTraceIO Precision is a standalone software application used in clinical operating environments by trained operators. It processes streamed 2D ultrasound images during liver ablation (RF or MW). In 'Online Mode', it overlays a Reference Ablation Zone (RAZ) onto the ultrasound image based on manufacturer technical parameters. In 'Offline Mode', it generates a BioTrace Map (BTM) 15 minutes post-procedure, correlating with 24-hour post-treatment CECT findings. The device provides adjunctive information to assist physicians in post-procedure clinical assessment; it does not replace CT scans or serve as a diagnostic tool. The system includes manual contouring tools for ablation targets and margins. By visualizing the expected ablation zone and correlating it with CECT, the device aims to support clinical decision-making regarding patient management post-treatment.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation compared optimized BTM to predicate BTM against 24-hour post-ablation CECT ground truth. Mean DICE coefficient for optimized BTM was 84.7 [95% CI: 83.07, 86.49] vs 85.5 [95% CI: 83.63, 87.43] for predicate (p=0.2408). Optimized BTM showed significantly higher DICE compared to T=0 CECT (p<0.0001).

Technological Characteristics

Standalone software application. Inputs: streamed 2D ultrasound images. Outputs: RAZ overlay (online) and BTM (offline). Features: proprietary computational algorithm, color-coded 5-point scale for image quality/reliability, manual contouring. Connectivity: hardware streaming device connected to ultrasound output. Compliance: DICOM standard, 21 CFR 820.30.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing radiofrequency (RF) or microwave (MW) liver ablation procedures. Not for standalone prediction or diagnostic purposes. Does not support multiple needles.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Post-ablation tissue response prediction software is an image processing software device intended to aid physicians with adjunctive information in their clinical assessment of the ablation zone following a tissue ablation procedure. This device uses information extracted from medical images along with other clinical data to predict the ablation zone post treatment. BioTraceIO Lite is indicated for use in patients undergoing radiofrequency (RF) or microwave (MW) liver ablation procedures to provide physicians with adjunctive information in their clinical assessment of the ablation zone created by liver tissue ablation, as part of their overall post-procedure clinical assessment.

The results of functional and algorithmic testing demonstrate that BioTracelO Precision meets the user needs and requirements of the device, which are considered to be substantially equivalent to those of the listed predicate device. Alqorithmic testing was performed on the BTM alqorithm, to ensure that performance and accuracy was as expected. The validation analysis resulted in a mean DICE coefficient of 84.7 [95% C1: 83.07, 86.49] and 85.5 [95% Cl: 83.63, 87.43] for the optimized BTM and predicate BTM, respectively, as compared to ablation zone visualized on the 24-hour post ablation CECT (T=24 CECT). This result was tested using both paired t-test (p = 0.2408), as well as Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test (p = 0.11). Both methodologies yielded similar non-significant p-values, indicating no significant differences in measurement of mean dice coefficients between the two algorithms. The optimized BTM also demonstrated a significantly (paired t-test p < 0.0001; Wilcoxon Signed-Rank p < 0.0001) higher mean DICE coefficient compared to T=0 CECT when both were compared to T=24 CECT, with a mean within-tumor difference of 7.9 [95% CJ: 4.2, 11.7) in favor of the optimized BTM. These results correspond to the intended use of the device in correlating with the ablation zone visualization on T=24 CECT and supports its clinical utility. The mean DICE coefficient for BioTracelO Precision BTM compared to T=24 CECT was not significantly lower than the mean DICE coefficient for BioTracelO Lite BTM versus T=24 CECT. This result highlights that BioTracelO Precision BTM demonstrates equivalent performance in correlation of ablation zone visualized on T=24 CECT compared to the predicate BTM. Overall, the validation has successfully demonstrated that the optimized BTM demonstrates equivalent performance to the predicate BTM, and that it is safe and effective in estimating the area of ablation zone as visualized at 24-hour post procedure CECT scan. Test planning was performed in accordance with standard testing procedures and quidelines as listed in internal development processes. Verification and validation testing were carried out as per planned arrangements in the Project Test Plan and Phase Test Plan(s) to ensure that design outputs meet design inputs and that this version {11}------------------------------------------------ of BioTracelO Precision meets the product acceptance criteria. These are in accordance with the company's Design Control process in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820.30, which included testing that fulfills the requirements of FDA "Guidance on Software Contained in Medical Devices" and adherence to the DICOM standard. ### Conclusions The BioTracelO Precision (V2.0) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTracelO Precision (DEN230020). The BioTracelO Precision has the same intended use, and principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between the BioTracelO Precision and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Algorithmic testing demonstrates that the BioTraceIO Precision (V 2.0) is as safe and effective as the cleared BioTracelO Precision (DEN230020). Thus, the BioTraceIO Precision is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
