Indications for Use
TumorSight Risk is an artificial intelligence based software only device that analyzes data from previously diagnosed invasive breast cancer patients to assess the risk of recurrence. TumorSight Risk utilizes the following data: age, race, cancer stage, nodal status, and grade, combined with Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) data to generate 5- and 10-year risks of breast cancer recurrence and a proprietary prognostic score. TumorSight Risk is intended for use in adult women with hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-), lymph node negative (N0) or positive (N1), Stage I-IIIA breast cancer to inform a physician in prognostic risk-based decisions in conjunction with other relevant clinicopathological factors.
Device Story
TumorSight Risk is an AI-based software device for breast cancer prognosis. It processes patient age, race, cancer stage, nodal status, histologic grade, and multi-tissue segmentation maps derived from pre-treatment DCE-MRI (via TumorSight Viz, K251766). The device uses a regression-based machine learning algorithm to integrate these inputs, generating a proprietary TSR score (0-100) and a risk category (Low, Intermediate, High). Used by physicians in clinical settings to inform prognostic risk-based decisions; it supplements, but does not replace, standard clinical assessment. Output is provided as a 'Risk Report' detailing 5- and 10-year recurrence probabilities. The device aids in patient management by stratifying recurrence risk.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective clinical study (N=2,129) across 4 US sites. Patients diagnosed 2010-2024. Primary endpoints: 5- and 10-year recurrence risk by category. Results: High-risk group 5-year PPV 9.8% (95% CI: 7.4%-12.9%), 10-year PPV 26.4% (95% CI: 20.2%-34.1%). Low-risk group 5-year NPV 97.0% (95% CI: 95.7%-98.0%), 10-year NPV 91.4% (95% CI: 88.5%-93.6%). Analytical precision study (N=120) showed 99.4% agreement across MRI manufacturers/field strengths.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device; utilizes AI/ML regression-based algorithms. Inputs: clinical/pathologic data and multi-tissue segmentation maps from DCE-MRI (GE/Siemens 1.5T/3T). Outputs: TSR score (0-100) and risk category. Cybersecurity managed via TumorSight Platform. Complies with ISO 14971 for risk management.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult women with HR+/HER2-, lymph node negative (N0) or positive (N1), Stage I-IIIA invasive breast cancer to assess 5- and 10-year recurrence risk.

- Laboratory test results and clinicopathological characteristics that determine estrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, Tumor Grade, Tumor Stage and Nodal Stage that do not comply with American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), College of American Pathologists (CAP) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) guidelines.
Refer to the labeling for a complete list of contraindications, precautions and limitations.
### IV Device/System Characteristics:
#### A Device Description:
TumorSight Risk employs artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and image processing to analyze data from previously diagnosed invasive breast cancer patients. TumorSight Risk integrates standard of care (SOC) diagnostic pathology data with clinical and medical imaging data to provide a proprietary prognostic score (named as TSR score) ranging from 0-100 that is used to determine a risk category and prognostic risk estimate of recurrence of disease within 5 years and 10 years from diagnosis.
The table below shows the TSR score range and the associated risk category.

| TSR Score Range | TumorSight Risk Category |
| --- | --- |
| >35 | High |
| >20 to ≤35 | Intermediate |
| ≤20 | Low |
TumorSight Risk is a web-based application that is accessed using a standard web browser.
TumorSight Risk is intended to be used with the following MRI Manufacturer/field strength:
| MRI Manufacturer | Magnetic Field Strengths |
| --- | --- |
| General Electric (GE ) | 1.5T, 3T |
| Siemens | 1.5T, 3T |
## Device Input:
1. Age, race, clinical tumor (T) stage, clinical nodal (N) stage, tumor histologic grade.
2. Multi-tissue segmentation map which is derived from processing the patient's pre-treatment dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) acquired according to American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines. This input is a validated output of the TumorSight Viz device (K251766).
Additional patient information is required by the device, but are not inputs to the device. These include ER/PR/HER2 status, which is used to determine case eligibility criteria per indications for use. They are not used by the AI algorithm for device output generation (Risk Category or TSR Score). Additionally, cancer laterality information is used to ensure that the appropriate multi-tissue segmentation map is retrieved from TumorSight Viz. It is a processing input used to associate the DCE MRI images with the correct segmentation output, rather than an input feature of the TumorSight Risk AI model itself. Patient clinical data, i.e., age, race, clinical T stage, clinical N stage, tumor histologic grade, and multi-tissue segmentation map obtained from DCE-MRI are utilized by the TumorSight Risk AI algorithm to compute the device output (TumorSight Risk (TSR) Score and Risk Category).
A summary of the device operation is as follows:
1. DCE MRI data (e.g., in DICOM format) is input into the previously cleared TumorSight Viz device. TumorSight Viz processes the data and generates a multi-tissue segmentation.
2. The multi-tissue segmentation is automatically input into TumorSight Risk from the TumorSight Viz device.
3. Intermediate imaging values are computed from the multi-tissue segmentation.
4. The intermediate imaging values are combined with clinical and pathologic data and input into a machine learning algorithm that generates a proprietary TSR Score and risk category ("High Risk", "Intermediate Risk", or "Low Risk").
## Device Output:
1. Proprietary TSR Score ranging from 0-100 that is used to determine a risk category
2. Categorical assessment of "High Risk", "Intermediate Risk" or "Low Risk"
K253561 - Page 3 of 16

3. Observed 5-Year Risk of recurrence (in the clinical validation dataset)
4. Observed 10-Year Risk of recurrence (in the clinical validation dataset)
This output is displayed in a report format (“Risk Report”) which also describes the TumorSight Risk methodology and provides a summary of the validation results.
### B TumorSight Risk Algorithm Development:
The TumorSight Risk algorithm is a regression-based machine learning model that integrates clinical, demographic, pathologic and imaging features. The model was trained/tuned using a dataset of N=1,133 samples from 6 sites geographically distributed throughout the United States (US). The development (training plus tuning) dataset was representative of the US population (see Table 1). The training portion of the development dataset was used to generate candidate models, while the tuning portion of the development dataset was used to select the final model. The candidate model was tested for repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy, and stability. The algorithm was locked after model training and prior to analytical precision testing and clinical validation.

### A Analytical Performance:
#### 1. Precision/Reproducibility from MRI
A study using simulated noise added to MRIs was conducted to assess the precision/reproducibility of the TumorSight Risk algorithm. One hundred twenty (120) patient images were selected which were evenly split across GE/1.5T, GE/3T, Siemens/1.5T, Siemens/3T MRI machines. These images were processed through the system three times with 3% added Rician noise. One hundred nineteen (119) samples were successfully processed and 0.83% (1/120] samples were not successfully processed. The reproducibility study included a minimum of 4 samples near the cutoff C1[20] between low and intermediate and 4 samples near the cutoff C2 [35] between intermediate and high (borderline cases). The sample characteristics are provided in Table 2 below.

Within the TumorSight Risk device and algorithm, races other than White and Black are categorized as “Other”. The measures of the clinical performance for the device with three outputs (High, Intermediate, Low) are i) Predictive Value (PV) for each output and ii) percentage of the results for each output. Predictive Values are evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analyses, from the “High”, “Intermediate” and “Low” populations, respectively.
### Summary of Clinical Validation Results:
#### 1. Measures of Clinical Performance
Clinical performance of the TumorSight Risk device is described by Table 5 below. Predictive Value (PV) for output “X” is the probability that a Target Condition (Recurrence) occurs within a specific time frame (5 years and 10 years) given the device output for the patients is “X” (this PV for output “X” is called also “risk of recurrence”)
Table 5: Recurrence Rate by TumorSight Risk Category for 5 years and 10 years
| Risk Category by TumorSight Risk device | Total number | Percentage of patients with the Risk Category | Number of recurrences for 5 years | Risk of Recurrence within 5 years (95% CI) | Number of recurrences for 10 years | Risk of Recurrence within 10 years (95% CI) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **High** | 534 | 25.1% | 46 | 9.8% (7.4%, 12.9%) | 70 | 26.4% (20.2%, 34.1%) |
| **Intermediate** | 559 | 26.3% | 28 | 5.7% (4.0%, 8.2%) | 43 | 13.4% (9.6%, 18.5%) |
| **Low** | 1036 | 48.7% | 27 | 3.0% (2.0%, 4.3%) | 52 | 8.6% (6.4%, 11.5%) |
| **Total** | 2129 | 100.0% | 101 | 5.4% (4.5%, 6.5%) | 165 | 13.5% (11.4%, 15.9%) |
- The risks of recurrence for TumorSight Risk category “High” patients were 9.8% (95%CI: (7.4%, 12.9%)) for 5 years and 26.4% (95%CI: (20.2%, 34.1%)) for 10 years. The TumorSight Risk output “High” is statistically and clinically informative because i) the 5-year risk is higher than the pre-test risk of 5.4% (the lower bound of the 95%CI, 7.4%, is higher than the pre-test risk of 5.4% (7.4% > 5.4%), and ii) the 10-year risk is higher than

{11}
the pre-test risk of 13.5% (the lower bound of the 95%CI, 20.2%, is higher than the pre-test risk of 13.5% (20.2% > 13.5%).
- The risks of recurrence for TumorSight Risk category “Low” patients were 3.0% (95%CI: (2.0%, 4.3%)) for 5 years and 8.6% (95%CI: (6.4%, 11.5%)) for 10 years. The TumorSight Risk output “Low” is statistically and clinically informative because i) the 5-year risk is lower than the pre-test risk of 5.4% (the upper bound of the 95%CI, 4.3%, is lower than the pre-test risk of 5.4% (4.3% < 5.4%) and ii) the 10-year risk is lower than the pre-test risk of 13.5% (the upper bound of the 95%CI, 11.5%, is lower than the pre-test risk of 13.5% (11.5% < 13.5%).
- The risk of recurrence for TumorSight Risk category Intermediate is similar to the pre-test risk for both 5 years (5.7% vs 5.4%) and 10 years (13.4% vs 13.5%. Percents of patients with “intermediate” results in the clinical performance study was 26.3% (559/2129).

# f. Subgroup analysis by Bins
Using TSR Score numeric values, patients with output “Low” were divided into two bins using: [0, 11) and [11, 21) and patients with output High” were divided into 2 bins: [36, 58) and [58, 100]. The recurrence risks and 95% confidence intervals at 5- and 10-years were estimated from the clinical study data (presented in Table 11 below) and plotted against TSR Score (Presented in Figure 3).
Table 11: Observed 5- and 10-year recurrence rate based on binned TSR Score
| Risk Category | Device output (TSRS Range) | Device Output (Mean TSRS) | Bin | N | TSRS Range | Observed Recurrence Rate at 5 years (95% CI) | Observed Recurrence Rate at 10 years (95% CI) | Percentage of patients in the bin |

Figure 3: Observed 5- and 10-year risk of recurrence based on binned TSR scores
The empirically determined recurrence probability at 5-year and 10-years is plotted on the y-axis along with 95% CIs, versus TSR score on the x-axis. Hatched boxes and black error bars show 5-year recurrence probability. Open boxes and grey error bars show 10-year recurrence probability.
The analysis of TSR bins demonstrated that a monotonic increase is observed for 5-year and 10-year risks of recurrence.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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 as a Medical Device, 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 as a Medical Device), 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.
