Ultrapro is a system that utilizes standard personal computer hardware to acquire, display, communicate and archive diagnostic images. The system is designed for use by medical professionals to acquire data from FDA listed imaging equipment such as ultrasound, CT and MRJ scanners, x-ray imagers and video cassette recorders that provide a video output or a digital output. Archival is to be performed on media that is FDA listed.

Ultrapro can be configured to use JPEG lossy compression. When lossy compression is used, the compression ratio will be imprinted in the non-diagnostic area of the image. The compression ratio can be adjusted during acquisition.

Device Description

Ultrapro is a tool for a medical imaging practice. It can acquire medical images from any standard medical video source. Digital data in the DICOM format or other popular PC formats such as JPEG, TIFF, etc. can also be acquired.

Images may be acquired in uncompressed or compressed format (lossless or lossy). The lossy compression ratio is selected by viewing the original image and the lossy compressed image side by side and increasing the ratio while retaining clinically significant characteristics. Images that have been lossy compressed have the text "LOSSY xx:1" where xx is the compression ratio placed in the visible, non-diagnostic area of the image.

Related patient information can also be entered or scanned in with a TWAIN compliant scanner. Once acquired, Ultrapro serves as a digital storage for these images. Images are stored on the computer. Images may be communicated to other Ultrapro workstations or to third-party DICOM 3.0 compliant PACS components. The radiologist may review the images with Ultrapro and create reports. The display of images (contrast, brightness, zoom, etc.) may be adjusted at any time. Annotations may be drawn on images. Distance measurements may be made on images. These image parameters may be saved along with the image while still preserving the original image. This information can be communicated to other workstations through a network or modem. Finally, all of the information may be archived onto optical media for permanent storage.

Dear Dr. Ramanathan:

We have reviewed your Section 5100% notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments on to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the Feceral Food Drues and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, narket the device, subject to the general controls of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical-Devices: Generaliation (2) CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition; FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/odch/dsmamain.html"

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).
