Intended Use
eFilm™ Workstation is a software application that is used for viewing medical images. eFilm™ Workstation receives digital images and data from various sources (including but not limited to CT, MR, US, RF units, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways or imaging sources). Images are stored, communicated, processed and displayed on the local disc of a workstation and/or across computer networks at distributed locations. Tasks that users may perform when viewing images include, but are not limited to: adjustment of window width and level; image stacking; annotation and measurement of regions of interest; and inversion, rotation, and flips of images. In addition, eFilm™ Workstation can be integrated with an institution's existing HIS or RIS for a fully integrated electronic patient record.

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard medical image viewing and processing workstation with functions like window/level adjustment, annotation, and image manipulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance study summaries.

No
The device is a software application for viewing medical images for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for "viewing medical images," and its users, "trained medical professionals, including but not limited to radiologists, clinicians, technologists," perform tasks like "adjustment of window width and level; image stacking; annotation and measurement of regions of interest; and inversion, rotation, and flips of images" on these images. These functions are typical for software used in interpreting medical images for diagnostic purposes. The use of a "Workstation" by "radiologists" also strongly suggests a diagnostic context.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that eFilm™ Workstation is a "software application" and a "component of a PACS". The functions described are all software-based image processing and viewing tasks. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware that is part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that eFilm™ Workstation is for "viewing medical images." It describes tasks related to manipulating and displaying these images for trained medical professionals. This is consistent with a medical image viewer or PACS component, not a device used for testing samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a software application for image viewing and communication within a PACS. It handles medical images acquired from various imaging modalities.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. IVDs are typically used to detect, measure, or identify substances or characteristics in samples from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

The device's function is centered around the display and manipulation of medical images acquired through imaging modalities like CT, MR, etc., which are not considered in vitro diagnostic procedures.

§ 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)
