Intended Use
QCU has been developed for the objective and reproducible analysis of intravascular ultrasound images. Intended purposes are: 1. Supporting clinical diagnoses about stenosis and/or control of the placement of intervention devices; 2. Supporting subsequent clinical decision making purposes; 3. Supporting the use in clinical research trials, directed at studying changes in vessel conditions over time as a result of interventions and or medication. QCU has been developed for the objective and reproducible analysis of tomograhic images of both lumen and arterial wall of a coronary or vascular segment, in particular the assessment of a stenosis or atherosclerotic plaque. This information supports the the aboutinent of intervention devices in these vessels. QCU-CMS enables an advanced assessment of vessel, lumen, and stent morphology. It also avoids the very time-consuming conventional manual tracing of boundaries, which suffers from high intro- and inter observer variability. QCU-CMS can be used to control stent placement ind to assess in-stent restenosis. QCU software package enables the automatically calculation and the display of various parameters such as: areas and diameters in individual slices; volumes over the segment of interest (Simpson's Rule) for the vessel, lumen and stent contours; plaque and in-stent restenosis parameters. QCU-CMS analytical software is intended to support all clinicians, i.e. cardiologists, radiologists, and referring physicians involved in the assessment of ultrasound images. radiological, and refering ped physician these parameters may be useful in supporting the determination of a diagnosis.
Device Description
QCU-CMS is a state-of-the-art analytical software tool designed for Windows NT operating systems. QCU-CMS analytical software facilitates the import and visualization of ultrasound images via CD-ROM and digital network. The QCU-CMS functionality is independent of the ultrasound equipment vendor. QCU-CMS, using automated contour detection, provides quantitative analysis with objective and reproducible data of length and diameter, area and volume in regions of interest. The results of selected analysis can be reported in user-defined configuration, exported in general formats and transported for storage via communication with standard Microsoft office packages.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes "automated contour detection" and "automatically calculation" of parameters, which are typical image processing techniques, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like neural networks or deep learning. The description focuses on software functionality and data processing rather than learning algorithms.

No
The device is described as an analytical software tool for image analysis, used to support clinical diagnoses and decision-making, rather than directly treating a condition.

Yes

The document explicitly states that the device's intended purposes include "Supporting clinical diagnoses about stenosis and/or control of the placement of intervention devices" and that its parameters "may be useful in supporting the determination of a diagnosis." This indicates its role in aiding the diagnostic process.

Yes

The device is described as "analytical software tool designed for Windows NT operating systems" and its functionality is independent of the ultrasound equipment vendor. It facilitates the import and visualization of images and performs quantitative analysis. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware component being part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The QCU-CMS device analyzes images (intravascular ultrasound and tomographic images) of the inside of blood vessels. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use focuses on supporting clinical diagnoses and decision-making based on the analysis of these images, not on analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, while it is a medical device used to aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions, it falls under the category of image analysis software rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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)
