More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard PACS system for image processing and distribution, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as a software application for processing and distributing medical imaging data and a picture archiving and communications system, which are diagnostic or informational tools, not therapeutic devices.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states it processes and distributes 2D and 3D data from CT and MRI scans for use by radiologists, clinicians, and other professionals, indicating its role in the diagnostic workflow. It also handles rendering, review, and distribution of DICOM images, which are key aspects of diagnostic imaging.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "software application" and its function is the processing and distribution of medical imaging data on standard PC hardware. There is no mention of proprietary hardware components being 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 the software is for processing and distributing medical images (CT, MRI, etc.) for use by medical professionals. This is related to medical imaging and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), not in vitro testing of biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) as defined in 21 CFR 892.2050. This regulation specifically covers medical image management systems, not IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or for the assessment of health. This software does not fit that description.

§ 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).

Dear Dr. Hu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
