Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.3)
BriefCase is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of contrast enhanced chest CT images (but not dedicated CTPA protocol) CT. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspected positive cases of Incidental Pulmonary Embolism (IPE) pathologies.
Algorithmdeep learning AI algorithms
source quote (p.9)
Both devices are software packages with similar technological characteristics and principles of operation, both incorporating deep learning AI algorithms that process images, and software to send notifications and unannotated compressed preview images to the radiologists' workstation.

endpoints: evaluate the software's performance in identifying Contrast-enhanced chest CTs (but not dedicated CTPA protocol), containing Incidental Pulmonary Embolism; Briefcase's potential clinical benefit of worklist prioritization for true positive iPE cases was evaluated by comparing the standard-of-care metric of time-to-exam-open to the software's time-to-notification metric for iPE

Reported performance (7 observations)

sensitivity90.5CI 95% CI: 81.4%, 96.2%

Specifically, sensitivity was 90.5% (95% CI: 81.4%, 96.2%)
specificity88.7CI 95% CI: 83.3%, 92.8%
source quote (p.8)
and specificity was 88.7% (95% CI: 83.3%, 92.8%).
time_to_resultas written: “BriefCase time-to-notification for iPE4.7CI 95% CI: 4.4-5.1
source quote (p.8)
The BriefCase time-to-notification for iPE was 4.7 minutes (95% CI: 4.4-5.1; Median: 5.0, IQR: 2.3).
time_to_resultas written: “standard of care time-to-exam-open223.3CI 95% CI: 125.8-320.7
source quote (p.8)
In contrast, standard of care time-to-exam-open was much longer, 223.3 minutes (95% CI: 125.8-320.7; Median: 70.4, IQR: 217.6).
time_to_resultas written: “mean difference of time-to-exam-open and time-to-notification220.9CI 95% CI: 122.0-319.9
source quote (p.8)
The mean difference of 220.9 minutes (95% CI: 122.0-319.9; Median: 63.2, IQR: 219.8) for these two metrics is statistically significant and assuming the radiologist receives a notification on a true positive iPE case and acts on it immediately, it can on average save more than three hours compared to the time-to-exam-open in a first in first out (FIFO) reading queue.
