### **3. Predicate Device Information**
AutoContour Model RADAC V6 (Subject Device) makes use of its prior submissions - AutoContour Model RADAC V5 (K260509) as the Predicate Device. The Indications for Use, patient population, functionality, and technical components of this Predicate Device remain unchanged in AutoContour Model RADAC V6. This submission is intended to build on the functionality and technological components of the 510(k) cleared AutoContour Model RADAC V5.
### **4. Device Description**
The AutoContour Model RADAC V6 device is software that uses DICOM-compliant image data (CT or MR) as input to: (1) automatically contour various structures of interest for radiation therapy treatment planning using machine learning-based contouring. The deep learning-based structure models are trained using multiple imaging datasets consisting of anatomical organs of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis of adult male and female patients. Model performance is validated against ground truth contours to ensure model quality. Users are allowed to review and modify the resulting contours and generate DICOM-compliant structure set data that can be imported into a radiation therapy treatment planning system (TPS).
AutoContour Model RADAC V6 consists of 3 main components:
1. A .NET client application designed to run on the Windows Operating System, allowing the user to load image and structure sets for upload to the cloud-based server for automatic contouring, perform registration with other image sets, as well as review, edit, and export the structure set.
2. A local “agent” service designed to run on the Windows Operating System that is configured by the user to monitor a network storage location for new CT and MR datasets that are to be automatically contoured.
3. A cloud-based automatic contouring service that produces initial contours based on image sets sent by the user from the .NET client application.
### **5. Indications for Use**
AutoContour is intended to assist radiation treatment planners in contouring and reviewing structures within medical images in preparation for radiation therapy treatment planning.
### **6. Technological Characteristics**
AutoContour RADAC V6 (Subject Device) makes use of its prior submission - AutoContour RADAC V5 (K260509), a Predicate Device. The Indications for Use, patient population, functionality, and technical components of this Predicate Device remain unchanged in AutoContour RADAC V6. The main UI outputs are equivalent to the Predicate Device as well, allowing the user to properly visualize and analyze the calculations. This submission is intended to build on the functionality and technological components of the 510(k) cleared AutoContour RADAC V5.
AutoContour Model RADAC V6 extends the existing automatic Planning Structure generation to the Zero-Click workflow. The Predicate Device supports Planning Structure generation through the AutoContour user interface and templates, where users can add automatically generated
AutoContour Model RADAC V6 Special 510(k)

{6}
Planning Structures by applying predefined operations (crop, boolean, etc.) to the initial contours. Additional Zero-Click updates include workflow, configuration, and user interface enhancements to support Planning Structure processing, job management, template matching rules, and DICOM data handling. These enhancements allow the user to extend manual workflow operations to the Zero-Click workflow. These changes do not modify the underlying contour generation algorithms, intended use, technological characteristics or risk controls of the Predicate Device.
These updates to AutoContour Model RADAC V6 enhancements do not introduce new cybersecurity functionality or modify the device's cybersecurity controls, network communications, authentication, or external interfaces. Verification testing was performed to confirm the correct operation of the Zero-Click workflow, including Planning Structure generation, workflow processing, DICOM data handling, configuration updates, and regression testing of existing AutoContour functionality. The verification and validation results summarized in the respective test records demonstrated that the Subject Device performs as intended and remains substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device.

## 7. Performance
Verification testing confirmed that AutoContour Model RADAC V6 features and functionality met predefined acceptance criteria consistent with the predicate device. AutoContour Model RADAC V6 models were divided into 3 categories and tested using protocols consistent with the category, while applying consistent acceptance criteria across each. Models were classified into 3 categories: 1) New Models that did not exist in the Predicate Device, 2) Models that previously existed in the Predicate Device but were updated in AutoContour Model RADAC V6, and 3) Models that previously existed in the Predicate Device and are unchanged. These classifications are noted in Table 6.
### Performance Data
Testing demonstrates that AutoContour Model RADAC V6 performs as intended per its indications for use. Further tests were performed on independent datasets from those included in training and validation sets in order to validate the generalizability of the machine learning model.
### Description of Changes to Test Protocol
Changes to the test protocol include an update to the new and existing structure model tests to include 95th Percentile Hausdorff Distance (HD95) as an additional metric for testing of new and updated model output changes. There were no changes to the regression testing protocol between Subject Device AutoContour RADAC V6 and Predicate Device AutoContour Model RADAC V5 for unchanged structure models, including the test methodology, acceptance criteria, and use of the HD95 metric.
### Testing Summary
Mean Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) was used to validate the accuracy of structure model outputs when tested on image data sequestered from the original training data population. The test datasets were independent from those used for training and consisted of approximately 10% of the number of training image sets used as input for the model.
For CT structure models, there were an average of 453 training and 61 testing image sets. Training and testing sets typically contain one scan per patient, but multiple scans per patient may be included if they are available and pertinent for the use case. CT training images were gathered from several institutions, in several different countries including the United States and Australia. Ground truthing of each test CT data set were generated manually using consensus (NRG/RTOG/ESTRO) guidelines as appropriate by six clinically experienced experts consisting of 2 radiation therapy physicists, 1 radiation dosimetrist, and 3 radiation therapists with specialized training in radiation therapy contouring. CT testing data spanned the most common radiation therapy treatment sites, including prostate, breast, lung, and head and neck cancers. Datasets were acquired across multiple scanner platforms (Philips Big Bore, GE Optima, GE Lightspeed, Siemens SOMATOM, and others) from numerous institutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Across all datasets, slice thicknesses ranged from 1–2.5 mm, in-plane resolutions from 0.3–1.5 mm, and acquisition voltages were predominantly 120 kVp. Imaging configurations reflect the range of equipment and protocols typically encountered in clinical

radiotherapy practice.
The MR training dataset used for initial testing of the Brain models had an average of 362 training image sets and 69 testing image sets and were acquired from several different institutions in several countries. The MR training data used for initial testing of the MR Abdomen and Pelvis models had an average of 714 training image sets and 99 testing image sets and were taken from several institutions within several countries, such as the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and France. Ground truthing of each test MR dataset was generated manually using consensus (NRG/RTOG) guidelines as appropriate by six clinically experienced experts consisting of 2 radiation therapy physicists, 1 radiation dosimetrist, and 3 radiation therapists with specialized training in radiation therapy contouring. For the Brain models, datasets were acquired as 20 MR T1 Ax post (BRAVO) image scans acquired with a GE MR750w scanner. Images had an average slice thickness of 1.6mm, In-plane resolution between 0.94 mm, and acquisition parameters of TR=5.98ms, TE=96.8s. Data for testing of the MR Pelvis structure models were acquired from 2 publicly available datasets, which contained images of patients with prostate or rectal cancer, as well as 1 dataset shared from 2 institutions utilizing an MR Linac. Various scanner models and acquisition settings were used. Data for testing of the MR Pelvis HDR structure models were acquired from 1 institution in Canada using two different slice thicknesses, 1mm and 4mm, and two different in-plane resolutions, 1mm and .72mm. Data for testing of the MR Abdomen structure models was acquired from 1 institution in the United States using a slice thickness of 3mm, and an in-plane resolution of 1.5mm.
For all models, datasets used for testing were removed from the training dataset pool before model training began and used exclusively for testing to preserve independence and remove the possibility of bias. Datasets designated for testing are labeled with an exclusion tag within the data management system, which prevents these scans from being accessed or included during model training. This control ensures separation between training and testing datasets throughout the development process.
## Subgroup Analysis
A subgroup analysis was performed on the external testing datasets for all new and updated structures across CT and MR modalities. Performance metrics were stratified by sex, patient position, and slice thickness. This analysis was performed exclusively on external testing data, as subgroup comparison on training data would not yield clinically meaningful insight into real-world algorithm performance. Not all subgroup categories are represented for every structure, as dataset availability and anatomical relevance determine which cohorts apply. Subgroup sample sizes are reported alongside all metrics to enable direct comparison of algorithm performance across patient demographics and imaging acquisition parameters.
The following tables present a subgroup analysis of DSC test results for the new and updated structures.

# Validation Results Summary
All new and updated models in the Subject Device were validated using the same testing protocol (Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff distance (HD) and Likert Qualitative Review) with the addition of 95th Percentile Hausdorff Distance as an additional metric for regression testing of new and updated model output changes. There were no changes to the existing structure model testing protocol, and the same risk mitigations were enforced as utilized in the Predicate Device.
Common acceptance criteria is used for validating model performance, although specific quantitative acceptance criteria vary depending on the volumetric size of the organ being evaluated. Also, the models in the subject device can be categorized into three different classifications. Each of these three classifications utilized a protocol appropriate for its historical attributes as follows:
1. There are new models with no prior reference,
2. models that are unchanged from the predicate device,
3. models that were modified.
The following table provides a high-level description of the protocol used for each of the three model categories.

*N/A: Structures are generated based on a post-processing/boolean operation from previously released structure models (Eye, Rib) rather than generated from a CNN model. Quantitative and Qualitative testing for these structures are still performed in the following sections in order to validate appropriate contour generation and clinical acceptability.

Additional external clinical testing was performed in order to validate the accuracy of the models on image sets acquired that were unique to the training datasets. Both AutoContour and manually added ground truth contours following the same structure guidelines used for structure model training were added to the image sets.

DSC values were calculated between ground truth contour data and AutoContour structures and rated on the same DSC passing criteria used for the Training DSC validation. All structures passed the minimum DSC criteria for small, medium, and large structures with a mean DSC of 0.75+/-0.09, 0.80+/-0.09, and 0.92+/-0.04, respectively. In addition to the DSC value calculations, the 95th Percentile Hausdorff Distance was also calculated on the ground truth contour data, results in Table 5. The qualitative clinical appropriateness of AutoContour structures generated on these scans was graded by clinical experts. Autocontour structures were graded on a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 refers to a contour requiring no additional edits, and 1 refers to a score in which full manual re-contour of the structure would be required. An average score >= 3 was used to determine whether a structure model would ultimately be beneficial clinically. An average rating of 4.37 was found across all CT structure models, demonstrating that only minor edits would be required in order to make the structure models acceptable for clinical use. Three structures, LN_Neck_VC_2d_L, LN_Neck_VC_2d_R, and LN_Rectum_EIN_R were passed according to predefined qualitative clinical review criteria, with scores of 4.4, 4.4 and 4.45, respectively. The remaining structures were accepted based on their HD95 verification results.

The MR training data set used for initial testing of the Brain models (CaudateNucleus_L/R, Fornix_L/R, Glnd_Lacrimal_L/R, Periventricular_Space, and Pineal) had an average of 362 training image sets and 69 testing image sets and were acquired from several different institutions in several countries.
The MR training data used for initial testing of the MR Abdomen models (Bowel, Duodenum, Esophagus, Gallbladder, Kidney_L/R, Liver, Pancreas, Spleen, Stomach, and ThecalSac) had an average of 714 training image sets and 99 testing image sets and were taken from several institutions within several countries, such as the United States, the Netherlands, and France. Datasets used for testing were removed from the training dataset pool before model training began and used exclusively for testing.
Ground truthing of each test dataset was generated manually using consensus (NRG/RTOG) guidelines as appropriate by six clinically experienced experts consisting of 2 radiation therapy physicists, 1 radiation dosimetrist, and 3 radiation therapists with specialized training in radiation therapy contouring. For MR Structure models, a mean training DSC of 0.90+/-0.13 was found for large models, 0.86+/-0.15 for medium models, and 0.75+/- 0.12 for small models. All structures passed the minimum training DSC criteria and one structure passed all other tests aside from DSC, including with a qualitative clinical external review with a score of 3.92, so is deemed clinically acceptable.

testing of the MR Abdomen structure models was acquired from 1 institution in the United States using a slice thickness of 3mm, and an in-plane resolution of 1.5mm.
DSC values were calculated between ground truth contour data and AutoContour structures and rated on the same DSC passing criteria as was used for the training DSC validation. All structures passed the minimum DSC criteria for small, medium, and large structures with a mean DSC of 0.67+/-0.13, 0.76+/-0.08, and 0.92+/-0.03, respectively. In addition to the DSC value calculations, the 95th Percentile Hausdorff Distance was also calculated on the ground truth contour data, results in Table 9. The qualitative clinical appropriateness of AutoContour structures generated on these scans was graded by clinical experts. AutoContour structures were graded on a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 refers to a contour requiring no additional edits, and 1 refers to a score in which full manual re-contour of the structure would be required. Four structures passed the HD95 validation. Esophagus, Glnd_Lacrimal_L, Glnd_Lacrimal_R, and Pineal were passed according to predefined qualitative clinical review criteria, with scores of 3.4, 5, 5, and 4.9, respectively. An average score >= 3 was used to determine whether a structure model would ultimately be beneficial clinically. An average rating of 4.4 was found across all MR structure models, demonstrating that only minor edits would be required in order to make the structure models acceptable for clinical use.

### Validation Conclusion
The outcomes of performance verification establish that AutoContour operates reliably across the diversity of anatomical presentations and clinical conditions characteristic of the intended patient demographic and standard radiotherapy practice. Evaluation of algorithm performance, as assessed by qualified radiation therapy professionals, indicates that the automated segmentation functionality meaningfully decreases the baseline time and effort otherwise dedicated to manual contour delineation while providing clinically acceptable contours.

Additionally, the validation evidence supports that the device consistently produces structure sets of sufficient clinical quality.
## **8. Conclusion**
AutoContour RADAC V6 is deemed substantially equivalent to the primary Predicate Device AutoContour RADAC V5 (K260509). Verification tests were performed to ensure that the software works as intended, and pass/fail criteria were used to verify requirements. Validation testing was performed to ensure that the software was behaving as intended, and output results from AutoContour were validated against accepted results for known planning parameters from clinically-utilized treatment planning systems. All tests passed regression testing. Verification and validation testing, and the risk documentation demonstrate that AutoContour is as safe and effective as the Predicate Device. The minor technological differences between AutoContour Model RADAC V6 and the Predicate Device do not raise any significant questions on the safety and effectiveness of the Subject Device.

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.
