Intended Use

NeuroICH is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of suspected ICH patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow. The device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze non-contrast CT images of the head acquired in the acute setting for findings suggestive of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation and notify an appropriate clinician of these findings. Notifications include non-diagnostic preview images that are meant for informational purposes only. The device does not alter or remove the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. Images can be previewed through a mobile application. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing high quality images on a diagnostic viewer per the standard of care and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation in conjunction with other patient information before making care-related decisions. NeuroICH is limited to analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnosis.

Device Story

NeuroICH is a cloud-hosted, software-only parallel workflow tool; operates independently of standard-of-care. Inputs: non-contrast head CT (NCCT) DICOM studies from hospital imaging modalities. Processing: deep learning AI algorithm analyzes images for ICH features (extradural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, intraventricular). Output: push notification and non-diagnostic preview images sent to a mobile application for neurovascular/neurosurgical specialists. Context: cloud-based analysis; mobile app allows viewing/rotation/zoom/window-level adjustment. Clinical impact: alerts specialists to suspected ICH cases in parallel to standard radiologist review; reduces time-to-notification (0.37 min vs 18.3 min standard-of-care). Benefits: enables earlier specialist involvement in patient evaluation; does not replace diagnostic review or alter original images.

Clinical Evidence

Retrospective, blinded study of 376 NCCT studies (35.9% positive, 64.1% normal). Primary endpoints: sensitivity 94.81% (89.68-97.43% CI), specificity 92.53% (88.50-95.21% CI), accuracy 93.35%, AUC 0.9367. Ground truth established by three board-certified neurologists. Secondary endpoint: time-to-notification (0.37 ± 0.20 min) compared to standard-of-care (18.3 ± 14.2 min) and predicate (0.49 ± 0.08 min).

Technological Characteristics

Software-only; cloud-hosted image analysis module (AWS); mobile application for notification/viewing; web-based admin panel. Uses deep learning AI algorithm for ICH detection. DICOM-compatible; supports standard image viewing functions (zoom, scroll, window/level). No internal segmentation or highlighting of images. Standalone software; no mechanical/hardware components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate suspected intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in non-contrast head CT scans of acute patients to specialists. Not for diagnostic use; intended as a parallel workflow notification tool.

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.

NeuroICH mainly consists of an image analysis module hosted on cloud, and a mobile application for preview of notification and non-diagnostic images. The standalone software device automatically receives and analyzes non-contrast head CT (NCCT) studies of patients undergoing stroke protocol, for image features that indicate the presence of an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) using deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm, and upon detection of a suspected ICH case, sends a notification along with non-diagnostic image on mobile application to alert a specialist clinician. #### Intended Use: The intended use of NeurolCH software is to detect and notify neurovascular specialists or trained clinicians regarding the presence of intracranial hemorrhage in non-contrast head CT scan images. Intracranial hemorrhage is identified if any one of the subtypes - extradural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal and intraventricular hemorrhages is detected. The device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation and present users with notifications and preview images of suspected ICH patients on the mobile application, that are meant for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use. #### Indications for Use: NeurolCH is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of suspected ICH patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow. The device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze non-contrast CT images of the head acquired in the acute setting for findings suggestive of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation and notify an appropriate clinician of these findings. Notifications include non-diagnostic preview images that are meant for informational purposes only. The device does not alter or remove the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. Images can be previewed through a mobile application. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing high quality images on a diagnostic viewer per the standard of care and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation in coniunction with other patient information before making care-related decisions. NeurolCH is limited to analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnosis. #### Comparison of Technological Characteristics: The subject device and predicate device have equivalent indications for use as both of them analyze non-contrast head CT scans of the patients for the features suggestive of the same abnormality i.e., intracranial hemorrhage and upon detection send the notification to designated neurovascular or neurosurgical specialist. The technological characteristics of subject and predicate devices are similar as both of them use the similar process of automatic data identification and transfer to send images from the local hospital network to a remote location for image storage, processing and analysis. {6}------------------------------------------------ Both the subject and predicate device uses a deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze non-contrast CT scan images of the head and classify cases with suspected ICH in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. Like the predicate device, the NeuroICH algorithm does not externalize any internal segmentation, analysis, or intermediate outputs used in determining if an ICH is present in the NCCT, nor does either algorithm mark, highlight or draw attention to the specific regions of the analyzed NCCT image. Both NeurolCH and Viz ICH software supports a mobile application interface that allows a user to receive push notifications, preview related non-diagnostic images, and view patient details associated with a series. The NeurolCH mobile application is subject to the same non-diagnostic viewing limitations as the predicate and has the same non-diagnostic warning on the image viewing screen as the predicate. Furthermore, the mobile application for both the devices can perform similar image viewing functions (window level change, image rotation, zoom, scroll through a cine, slice change). Similar to the predicate device, the NeurolCH software does not affect the normal standard of care workflow of the hospital and moreover does not remove cases from a reading queue of the hospital PACs system. In conclusion, the NeurolCH device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Viz ICH in terms of both indications for use and technological characteristics. | Parameter | Subject Device<br>NeuroICH | Predicate Device<br>Viz ICH | |----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Indications of<br>use | NeurolCH is a notification-only,<br>parallel workflow tool for use by<br>hospital networks and trained<br>clinicians to identify and<br>communicate images of<br>suspected ICH patients to a<br>specialist, independent of<br>standard of care workflow. | Viz ICH is a notification-only,<br>parallel workflow tool for use by<br>hospital networks and trained<br>clinicians to identify and<br>communicate images of specific<br>patients to a specialist, independent<br>of standard of care workflow. | | | The device uses an artificial<br>intelligence algorithm to analyze<br>non-contrast CT images of the<br>head acquired in the acute setting<br>for findings suggestive of<br>intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in<br>parallel to the ongoing standard of<br>care image interpretation and<br>notify an appropriate clinician of<br>these findings.

Primarily 376 studies were used with recognizable representation of positive and neqative ICH cases (35.90 % ICH positive studies and 64.09 % normal studies) to calculate Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp), Accuracy, Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Time-to-Notification (TTN) regarding suspected ICH case. Sensitivity, specificity, AUC and accuracy were calculated as primary endpoints with 95% clopper-pearson confidence interval, comparing the NeurolCH's output to the ground truth as established by three US board certified Neurologists. Sensitivity and specificity on the primary dataset were observed to be 94.81% (89.68% - 97.43%) and 92.53% (88.50% - 95.21%), respectively. Because the lower bound of each confidence interval exceeded 80%, the study met the pre-specified performance goals of 80% for sensitivity and was comparative to the values achieved by the predicate device Viz ICH. In addition, the accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were 93.35% (90.37% -95.45%) and 0.9367 respectively, demonstrating the clinical utility and potential benefits of the classifier based on the imaging study results. {9}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/9/Figure/2 description: The image is a plot of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The ROC curve plots the true positive rate against the false positive rate. The ROC curve is a measure of the performance of a binary classification model. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is 0.94, which indicates that the model has good performance. A dashed line is also plotted, which represents a model that has no skill. The performance metrics were calculated for individual data distributions as well to showcase the evaluation on important data cohorts.

The NeurolCH time-to-notification (TTN) includes the time to get the DICOM exam, analyze and send a notification to the mobile application component. The standard of care time-to-open-exam (TTO) consisted of the time from the initial scan of the patient to when the {14}------------------------------------------------ radiologist first opened the exam for review. It was referenced from the literature and the predicate device Viz ICH. The average time to alert a specialist by NeurolCH was 0.37 ± 0.20 minutes, which is lower than the average time to open an exam seen in the Standard of Care 18.3±14.2 minutes and comparable to the time reported by the predicate device Viz ICH 0.49±0.08 minutes. This result generally demonstrates that specialists have the opportunity to become involved in the clinical workflow early with notifications from the NeuroICH software. | Device Performance by Time | | | |----------------------------|------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | Parameter | NeuroICH Time with<br>Standard Deviation | Viz ICH Time with Standard<br>Deviation | | Time to Notification (TTN) | $0.37 \pm 0.20$ minutes | $0.49\pm0.08$ minutes | ### Conclusion: NeurolCH is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device, Viz ICH (K210209). It shares the same indications for use and has similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as Viz ICH. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not raise any new safety concerns. Additionally, performance data demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device and detects ICH in critical patients with comparable accuracy. Therefore, NeuroICH is claimed to be substantially equivalent to Viz ICH.
