Intended Use
cvi42 is intended to be used by qualified medical professionals for viewing, post-processing and quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) images and cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) images in a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine Standard format, for the purpose of obtaining diagnostic information as part of a comprehensive diagnostic decision-making process
Device Story
cvi42 is a software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) for cardiovascular image analysis. It accepts DICOM-formatted MR and CT images from external scanners. The software provides visualization, post-processing, and quantification tools, including semi-automated machine learning (ML) algorithms for contouring regions of interest (e.g., heart chambers, coronary vessels). Physicians use the graphical interface to perform qualitative assessments and quantitative measurements (e.g., strain, calcium scoring, cardiac function). The output supports clinical diagnostics and decision-making. Used in clinical settings by qualified medical professionals. Benefits include standardized, efficient analysis of cardiovascular structures and function, aiding in the evaluation and follow-up of cardiac lesions and disease.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Bench testing included verification and validation per ISO 13485, BS EN 62304, and ISO 14971. ML algorithms were validated using 235 anonymized patient images (MR/CT) from multiple vendors. CMR function analysis showed 97-100% classification accuracy and 5-10% volumetric MAE. Calcium scoring accuracy was 86-99%. Coronary analysis centerline performance was 82-94%. CT function segmentation (LV/RV) achieved Dice coefficients >82-86%, HD <9.5-18mm, and EF bias of 1.3% (LV) and -5.5% (RV).
Technological Characteristics
SaMD; runs on macOS/Windows. DICOM compliant. Features: 2D/3D visualization, MPR, MIP, VRT, CPR, bone/table removal. ML-based segmentation for cardiac chambers, coronary centerlines, and calcium scoring. Rule-based algorithms for strain, flow, and volumetric measurements. Standalone or networked deployment. No physical components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for viewing, post-processing, and qualitative/quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular MR and CT images in DICOM format. Enables import, display (panning, windowing, zooming, 3D/multiplanar reconstruction), and quantitative measurement (distance, area, volume, mass, signal intensity) of heart/vessels. Supports cardiac function analysis (EDV, ESV, SV, EF, CO, CI), flow quantification, strain analysis (2D LV myocardial function), and coronary CT analysis (calcium scoring, vessel/valve visualization). Intended for adult population for semi-automated ML workflows; manual workflows have no age restriction. Contraindicated for non-cardiac images.

{6}------------------------------------------------
#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
cvi42 Software Application ("cvi42") is a software as a medical device (SaMD) that is intended for evaluating CT and MR images of the cardiovascular system. Combining digital image processing, visualization, quantification, and reporting tools, cvi42 is designed to support physicians in the evaluation and analysis of cardiovascular imaqing studies.
cvi42 uses machine learning techniques to aid in semi-automatic contouring of regions of interest in cardiac MR or CT images.
The data used to train these machine learning algorithms were sourced from multiple clinical sites from urban centers and from different countries. When selecting data for training, the importance of model generalization was considered and data was selected such that a good distribution of patient demographics, scanner, and image parameters were represented. The separation into training versus validation datasets is made on the study level to ensure no overlap between the two sets. As such, different scans from the same study were not split between the training and validation datasets. None of the cases used for model validation were used for training the machine learning models.
cvi42 has a graphical user interface which allows users to analyze cardiac MR & CT images qualitatively and quantitatively.
cvi42 accepts uploaded data files previously acquired by MR or CT scanners or other data collection equipment but does not interface directly with such equipment. Its functionality is independent of the type of vender acquisition equipment. The analysis results are available onscreen and can be saved with the software for future review.

#### VI. COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICE
The detailed analysis of the subject device and the predicate device (shown in Table 2 and Table 3) demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent in indications for use / intended use, technological characteristics, functionality, and operating principles with the predicates (K092628, K111373, K141480, K213998, K232661, and K241038). Of the three characteristics (technical, biological, and clinical) required for the demonstration of equivalence, biological characteristics are not applicable since both the subject device and predicate device are software as a medical device application with no tangible component interfacing with the body.
