Advanced 3D Web PACS™ is a PACS system, comprised of acquisition components (Medweb secure DICOM Proxy Web Server, ), a central system manager component (Medical Transcription Server), a diagnostic workstation component (Radiologist Dashboard©), and an archiving component (DICOM Archive). The data flow is such that patient and procedure information is optionally delivered to the central system manager, followed by the acquisition of the image objects directly from the image sources or by one of the acquisition components. After receiving the procedure information or after receiving image objects, the central system manager searches for and retrieves relevant prior procedure data from the archive component. When the central system manager registers the acquired image objects and the retrieved prior procedure data, a user can access the information by selecting the item from the operator work list. The image data is transmitted to and rendered on the user's workstation using the diagnostic workstation components. After using the workstation to view the images, the user optionally dictates a report into the system, after which, a user can play back the dictation and transcribe it to text. Once Advanced 3D Web PACS™ central system manager registers a report, the report is available for access by the referring physician, or it can be exported into an information system. At some configured point in time, the image data and the report information is delivered to the archiving component for backup and long-term storage.

1.8 Safety and Effectiveness
General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
The device labeling contains instructions for use and any warnings or cautions to provide for the safe and effective use of the device. It is the user's responsibility to insure that display quality, environmental lighting and other possible distractions are consistent with a clinical environment. . Advanced 3D Web PACS™ is a software application(s) device. The hardware components specified are all "off the shelf" computer components.
It is our conclusion that there is no software (or hardware component in the Advanced 3D Web PACS™ device, which would be used in conjunction with the Advanced 3D Web PACS™ device) that we know of, whose failure or latent design flaw would be expected to result in death or injury to a patient. Thus the "level of concern" on the Advanced 3D Web PACS™ device is "minor".
Substantial Equivalence Summary:
Advanced 3D Web PACS™ is substantially equivalent in design and intended use(s) to diagnostic workstations, PACS and image management systems and substantiated in the substantial equivalence comparison chart in Tab 8. Any differences between the Advanced 3D Web PACS™ and the predicate devices have no significant influence on safety and effectiveness. Advanced 3D Web PACS™ , therefore, raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from the predicate devices.
