Intended Use
CT Colonography/Navigator2 is an image analysis software package that contains CT Colonogarphy and Navigator2. CT Colonography allows the user to study the inside, wall and outside of the colon. It provides the user with an ability to view datasets from both, prone and supine positions, facilitating detection of colonic lesions. In comparison to colonoscopy, this tool has an advantage of non-invasive depth penetration due to its 3D presentation capability. Navigator2 provides endoluminal views of anatomical structures. Navigator2 is designed to enhance and modify current image quality, tools, speed and user interface of Navigator for improved productivity. Navigator2 provides a visualization tool to investigate structures (such as polyps, tumors, stones, calcification etc.) within anatomy, airways and organs. Thus. its viewing capability of the inner and outer surfaces of organs as well as within their walls provides additional supplemental information, complementing endoscopy/colonoscopy, to support interpretation and treatment planning. Navigation2 is applicable to X-ray as well as CTMR.
Device Description
CT Colonography/Navigator2 (CTC/Nav2) is an image analysis software package that allows the user to study the inside, wall, and outside of the colon using CT-acquired helical images. The tool is laid out to facilitate the detection of colonic lesions. CT Colonography requires Navigator2 for its operation however, Navigator2 can also be utilized as a stand-alone option. Navigator2 is an advanced visualization software option that provides endoluminal views of anatomical structures. The flexibility of this software allows the user to move interactively from air paths to inner vessels visualization and thus, it is not limited to inner navigation of structures as lungs and sinuses. Volume Analysis (includes both, CT/MR Windows Workstation, K913770 and 3D & Dentascan for Windows K923077) provides the base for CTC/Nav2 and Nav2 alone, which allows an increase in the ease of use and productivity. CTC/Nav2 and Nav2 alone, also use some options of Volume Rendering (AW Volume Render Option K972399), which allows the user to quickly isolate structure of interest and render volumetric data in three dimensions.
More Information

No
The summary describes image analysis and visualization software with features like 3D rendering and navigation, but it does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is an image analysis software package used for visualization and detection of colonic lesions and other anatomical structures, complementing diagnosis and treatment planning rather than directly providing therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as "image analysis software package" that "allows the user to study the inside, wall and outside of the colon," facilitates "detection of colonic lesions," helps "investigate structures (such as polyps, tumors, stones, calcification etc.) within anatomy, airways and organs," and provides "supplemental information, complementing endoscopy/colonoscopy, to support interpretation and treatment planning." These functions clearly indicate the device is used to diagnose medical conditions by analyzing images and identifying abnormalities.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as an "image analysis software package" and its function is to process and visualize medical images. While it relies on input from imaging modalities (CT, X-ray, CT/MR), the device itself is the software that performs the analysis and visualization. The description focuses solely on the software's capabilities and does not mention any accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this software analyzes images acquired from CT, X-ray, and CT/MR modalities. These are imaging techniques that visualize structures within the body, not analyze biological samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • The purpose is image analysis and visualization. The software is designed to help users study and visualize anatomical structures, particularly the colon, to facilitate the detection of lesions. This is a function of medical imaging analysis, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, while this is a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
