## 6. Device Description
The product is intended for automatic segmentation, visualization and volumetric quantification of the prostate on 3D MRI data (in DICOM format). The software automates the currently manual process of identifying, labeling and volumetric calculation of segmented prostate structures on 3D MRI images.
The primary features of mdprostate include:
- Automatic prostate segmentation and volume estimation
- Calculation of the PSA density, based on the input of the PSA value of the patient by the user
- The user can manually add his/her evaluation of lesions (and their characteristics) in a suitable user interface. The characteristics provided include location, size, volume and ADC values and other characteristics (like PI-RADS score) for each lesion.
- Export in a suitable format for reading and archiving in PACS, as well as in a second format that can be imported by ultrasound systems (e.g. RTStruct), allowing the urologist to perform targeted MR-US fusion biopsy
## 7. Technological Characteristics
The subject device mdprostate is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regards to software, programming languages, operating system, and fundamental technology. Mediaire made some device modifications and implemented enhancements to the existing predicate device, AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR (K193283).
While these enhancements and improvements offer additional image viewing and evaluation capabilities compared to the predicate device, the conclusions from all verification and validation data suggest that these modifications do not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the predicate device.

### 7.1. Substantial Equivalent Discussion
The technical characteristics are equivalent for the subject (mdprostate) and predicate (AI-RAD companion Prostate MR) device. Both applications use the same environment, are DICOM compatible and create similar outputs. Both devices are pure software packages and operate in the cloud. Additionally, mdprostate can be installed and operated on-premise. The technologies in both devices include deep learning algorithms. Those may differ in their configurations and/or tuning parameters, but are in general equivalent. The data used for training those algorithms differ, but both include T2-weighted and DWI MR images. Additionally, mdprostate uses the respective ADC map as an additional input.

### 8.1 Verification and Validation
Development of mdprostate was made in compliance with 21 CFR 820.30 (Design Controls). Risk management was completed in accordance with ISO 14971, Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices to assess the potential risk and harms of the device. Based on the risk analysis, appropriate verification and validation was completed and results demonstrated that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met. Software was developed and validated in accordance with ISO 62304, Software Life Cycle Processes for Medical Device Software.
Software documentation consistent for software with a basic documentation level, in accordance with the FDA guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" (June 14, 2023), was completed and placed in the Design History File. Software verification and validation testing demonstrated that the software performs as intended and in accordance with specifications. The potential risks of mdprostate have been identified and evaluated, and the risks were determined to be acceptable, or have been addressed with risk control measures.
### 8.2 Standalone Performance Validation
A standalone validation study was conducted to assess the segmentation performance of mdprostate on bi-parametric MRI. The study evaluated 97 independent imaging series from 97 unique male patients, with a strict 1:1 relationship between patients and samples (no duplicate scans, follow-ups, or repeat imaging sessions).
Reference Standard: A consensus ground truth was established for each case through a hierarchical panel of three independent board-certified radiologists who manually outlined prostate boundaries slice-by-slice; disagreements were adjudicated by a fourth senior radiologist.
Independence of Test Data: The validation dataset was subject to a strict data-lock protocol. None of the 97 cases were used at any stage of algorithm development, architecture selection, hyperparameter tuning, or model training, and the data originated from institutions independent of those that supplied the training data, ensuring an unbiased assessment of real-world generalizability.
Imaging Equipment and Protocol: Data were acquired across multiple institutions using scanners from three major manufacturers (Siemens Healthineers, GE Healthcare and Philips Healthcare), at both 1.5T and 3.0T field strengths, using high-resolution T2-weighted turbo spin-echo (TSE) axial sequences compliant with PI-RADS v2.1.
Demographics and Clinical Subgroups: The cohort was 100% male, consistent with the intended use. Participants were between 35 and 99 years of age and represented diverse ethnic groups, including White Americans, Black or African Americans, Asians, and Other (Hispanics, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and American Indians and Alaska Natives). Performance was additionally stratified by prostate volume and by PI-RADS v2.1 category to evaluate robustness against clinically challenging confounders.
Suspected malignant lesions (PI-RADS 3–5) represent a clinically challenging confounder for segmentation algorithms, as they can distort local tissue architecture, alter signal intensity, and

obscure peripheral zone boundaries. Nevertheless, stratified analysis across all evaluated subgroups, including demographic characteristics, prostate volume, lesion status, and MRI field strength, demonstrated stable performance. Mean Dice scores ranged from 0.89 to 0.91, while mean HD95 values ranged from 3.07 to 3.84, with a variance in Dice Similarity Coefficient of less than 0.03 across all stratifications. These findings suggest no meaningful performance disparities and support the robustness of mdprostate across diverse patient characteristics, clinical presentations, imaging conditions, and prostate volumes.
Results: The pre-defined primary endpoint, mean Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), had an acceptance criterion of >0.88; mdprostate achieved a mean DSC of 0.90. As a secondary endpoint, the 95th percentile Hausdorff distance was evaluated; mdprostate achieved a mean 95th percentile Hausdorff distance of 3.70 mm (2.47 pixels), favorably comparable to the literature benchmark. All pre-specified performance endpoints were met.
To demonstrate that mdprostate maintains consistent segmentation accuracy and does not suffer from algorithmic degradation when applied to diverse clinical subgroups, we performed a stratified performance analysis. Table 3 reports the mean Dice Similarity Coefficient (DICE) and 95th percentile Hausdorff Distance (HD95) for each category.

Instead, verification and validation activities were performed to confirm that the modifications and enhancements meet their design specifications and perform as intended for their intended use. The results of these verification and validation activities support the safety and effectiveness of the subject device and the determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. No animal testing was performed on the subject device.
## 11. Safety and Effectiveness
The device labeling includes instructions for use, along with all necessary warnings and precautions, to ensure the device is used safely and effectively.
Safety is further ensured through a risk management process compliant with ISO 14971, under which potential hazards are systematically identified and mitigated through risk analysis conducted early in the design phase and maintained continuously throughout product development. Identified risks are controlled through a combination of measures implemented during software development, verification and validation testing, and product labeling.
In addition, the device is intended for use by healthcare professionals who are experienced in the post-processing and interpretation of magnetic resonance images.
## 12. Substantial Equivalence and Conclusion
Based on thorough verification and validation testing using applicable industry standards, mediaire GmbH concludes that mdprostate is substantially equivalent to AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR cleared under K193283.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
