Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.6)
“The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) Pre-Market Notification is to introduce the 3D Auto TV (Tricuspid Valve) software application onto the EPIQ Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems. No hardware changes to the EPIQ systems are required when using the 3D Auto TV and 3D Auto CFQ, and existing, cleared Philips transducer(s) are used for the software applications.”
Algorithmmachine learning algorithm for semi-automated contour generation and a fluid dynamic model for quantification
source quote (p.11)
“3D surface model is created semi-automatically using machine learning algorithm without user interaction. The 3D Auto CFQ algorithm uses a fluid dynamic model of an incompressible fluid (blood) traveling through an irregular-shaped (i.e., nonround) orifice.”

Validation studies (2)

Reader study (MRMC)

sample size not stated

endpoints: high agreement of the automated performance of the 3D Auto TV software with the 4D Cardio-View software (ground truth); Confidence intervals for the limits of agreement were within the acceptance criteria ± 46% and ± 52% for annulus size and annulus shape, respectively, within TEE and TTE arms; Bias was also evaluated for automation performance, where relative bias based on inter-observer variability was met, specifically within +/- 17.37% for distance (size) and +/- 23.68% for circumference (shape); The accuracy and precision of the underlying measurement primitives were also evaluated through use of in silico phantoms with known dimensions; Mean relative error of the measurement primitives on the in-silico phantoms were within +/- 1%, with limits of agreement within acceptance criteria of +/- 5%

Retrospective clinical

sample size not stated

endpoints: limits of agreement (LoA) of -49.29 (lower LoA) and 25.09 (upper LoA) and associated confidence intervals: lower end of 95% LoA (-58.37,-40.20) and upper end of 95% LoA (16.01,34.18); acceptance criteria set for the study was defined as maximum allowable difference (A) of 61.6ml; bias was assessed where the acceptance criteria for mean difference (bias) within +/- 19.2ml was met; upper and lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval for Pearson's correlation exceeded the acceptance criteria of > 0.8 when compared to 2D PISA

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Radiology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
