It is distributed as pre-installed medical imaging software intended to support image visualization, quantitation, analysis, and comparison across multiple imaging modalities and acquisition time points. The software supports both functional imaging modalities, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Nuclear Medicine (NM), as well as anatomical imaging modalities, such as Computed Tomography (CT). The system enables integration, display, and analysis of multimodal image datasets to assist qualified healthcare professionals in image review and interpretation within the clinical workflow. The software is intended for use by trained medical professionals and assists in image assessment for various clinical applications, including but not limited to cardiology, electrophysiology, and organ function evaluation. The software does not perform automated diagnosis and does not replace the clinical judgment of the user. The TruSPECT software operates on the Microsoft Windows® operating system and can be configured with various software modules and clinical applications according to user requirements and intended use. The configuration may include proprietary Spectrum Dynamics modules and commercially available third-party post-processing software packages operating within the TruSPECT framework. The modified TruSPECT system integrates the TruClear AI application as part of its software suite. The TruClear AI module is a software-based image processing component designed to assist in the enhancement of SPECT image data acquired on the TruSPECT system. The module operates within the existing reconstruction and review workflow and does not alter the system's intended use, indications for use, or fundamental technology. Verification and validation activities were performed to confirm that the addition of the TruClear AI module functions as intended and that overall system performance remains consistent with the previously cleared TruSPECT configuration. These activities included performance evaluations using simulated phantom datasets and representative clinical image data, conducted in accordance with FDA guidance. The results demonstrated that the modified TruSPECT system incorporating TruClear AI meets all predefined performance specifications and continues to operate within the parameters of its intended clinical use.

The device modification consists of adding this AI module to the previously cleared system (K212230), with all other device functions and intended use unchanged. # Validation Approach and Substantial Equivalence Basis: Validation was performed using a multi-center, retrospective dataset of 352 patients (137 female, 215 male; mean age $65.4 \pm 12.4$ years; BMI $29.4 \pm 6.4$ ) from three hospitals in the UK and Germany. The held-out test set included 24 patients (8 female, 16 male). The algorithm was trained and evaluated using independent datasets, ensuring that test data were not used for training or tuning. # Reference Standard ("Truthing") and Inter-Observer Agreement: The reference standard was the clinical routine high-count SPECT image ( $\sim$ 1.0 MCounts) acquired under standard D-SPECT protocols. Quantitative evaluation used FDA-cleared Cedars-Sinai QPS/QGS to derive perfusion and functional parameters (TPD, volume, EDV, LVEF). Two independent, board-certified nuclear medicine physicians visually compared denoised low-count images to the high-count reference using a 5-point Likert scale; inter-observer percent agreement after dichotomization (scores $\geq 3$ vs $< 3$ ) was $97 - 100\%$ across key metrics. # Independence of Test Data from Training Data: Datasets were split at the patient level into nonoverlapping training/tuning and held-out test sets. The held-out test set (24 patients; 74 images) was used only for final evaluation, no patients, images, or derived patches from this set were used for training or tuning. Patches were generated exclusively from training/tuning images; test images remained intact, and all reader and QPS/QGS analyses were performed on the held-out test set.

Bland-Altman analyses showed mean differences within pre-specified acceptance criteria. Visual similarity ratings indicated denoised images were ‘similar’ to reference, consistent with high inter-reader agreement. # Demographics and Relevance of Ethnicity: The validation cohort included a range of BMIs (including obese cases), both rest and stress studies, and upright and supine acquisitions. Race/ethnicity was not recorded; for myocardial perfusion SPECT noise-reduction performance, algorithm behaviour is driven by physical/physiological imaging characteristics (count statistics, anatomy, acquisition protocol) that are not known to be affected by patient ethnicity. Accordingly, ethnicity is not considered a relevant variable for this technical image-quality and quantitative performance evaluation. # Conclusion: Across reader studies and quantitative analyses, TruClear.AI demonstrates substantial concordance between denoised low-count outputs and clinical routine high-count references, meeting pre-specified acceptance criteria. The device maintains the intended use, operating principles, and safety/effectiveness profile of the predicate (K212230), and the AI module does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness supporting the basis for a determination of substantial equivalence. # Clinical Evaluation Clinical studies were not required to support the determination of substantial equivalence. Performance of the TruClear AI reconstruction module was evaluated using representative clinical datasets to confirm the module’s ability to enhance image quality and reduce noise while maintaining diagnostic integrity. Evaluations were conducted by qualified Nuclear Medicine (NM) physicists and physicians, who independently reviewed reconstructed images and rated them using a 5-point Likert scale. Results demonstrated that the algorithm’s performance is consistent with standard image quality expectations and supports the intended clinical use without altering diagnostic interpretation. These findings confirm that the addition of TruClear AI does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns. # Substantial Equivalence The proposed TruSPECT Processing Station has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. Differences in design or implementation do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. Key factors supporting substantial equivalence include: Spectrum Dynamics Medical Ltd.

The device is therefore considered safe and effective for its intended use. Spectrum Dynamics Medical Ltd.
