The description details image processing techniques (averaging, a specific "3DSharp image enhancement method") but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training data. The image manipulation modes are user-selectable and appear to be based on predefined algorithms rather than learned patterns.
No
The device aids in diagnosis and treatment by enhancing fluoroscopic images, but it does not directly treat or provide therapy to patients. It is a tool for image processing and visualization.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended for use in any application where a fluoroscope is incorporated to aid in diagnosis and treatment of desease."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "stand-alone computer system" with a "metal (aluminum) enclosure," "commercially available hardware and electronic components," a "frame capture interface," and a "3DFIS display." While it includes software for image manipulation, it is clearly a hardware system with integrated software, not a software-only device.
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 3DFIS is a system that processes and enhances fluoroscopic images. Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to create real-time moving images of the inside of the body. This is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging modality, not an in vitro process.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "aid in diagnosis and treatment of disease" by enhancing fluoroscopic images. This aligns with the use of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.
The device's function is to improve the quality of images obtained from a fluoroscope, which is a medical imaging device used directly on patients. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS - Model IES-FL-101) is a stand-alone computer system interfaced to a fluoroscopy display system through a video cable. The images produced by the fluoroscope are transimited through a frame capture board in the computer where the images are emailed and then displayed on the computer's monitor. Each image is displayed on the 3DFIS monitor as soon as the corresponding original image is displayed on the fluoroscope monitor(s).
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System 3DFIS is designed for use in conjunction with any fluoroscope that has a video output connection. The use of the device enables contrast and brightness enhancement with simultaneous reduction of random noise.
The enclosure for the 3DFIS is metal (aluminum). The other components are commercially available hardware and electronic components.
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS) is designed as a "retrofit" for an existing fluoro-scope. The 3DFIS provides image enhancement capabilities in addition to those provided by the fluoroscope. The 3DFIS is connected to the fluoroscope by a video cable.
The 3DFIS is comprised of three elements. The input element to which the video images from the fluoroscope are supplied is a frame capture interface. The computational element, the central component of the system, is a computer. The computer includes several expansion bus cards including the frame capture card and the display interface. The third element is the 3DFIS display.
The 3DFIS software controls the frame capture, intermediate image manipulation, and subsequent image display on the 3DFIS monitor. Three image manipulation modes are provided. These are selected either by the observer, hand control or via the computer keyboard. These modes are:
- RAW: The images are unmodified.
- AVG: A contiguous sequence of images is averaged together.
- LIT: These images are modified using the 3DSharp image enhancement method.

Summary of Performance Studies
The 3DFIS processes images at any user selectable rate up to full frame rate (30 frames/sec). The delay between frame acquisition and frame display is less than the time between frames, i.e. 33 msec. Utilization of the 3DFIS in the AVG or LIT modes produces enhanced image contrast and reduced image noise.

§ 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)

510(k) Summary
Description
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS - Model IES-FL-101) is a stand-alone computer The SUSHarp Finderscope through a video cable. The images produced by the display system interraced to a norolocopy and ough a frame capture board in the computer where the nuoroscope are transimited through the computer's monitor. Each image is displayed on the mages are emailed and the as the corresponding original image is displayed on the fluoroscope monitor(s).
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System 3DFIS is designed for use in conjunction with any The SDSHalp Pruchoscope image by seconnection. The use of the device enables contrast and brightness enhancement with simultaneous reduction of random noise.
The enclosure for the 3DFIS is metal (aluminum). The other components are commercially available hardware and electronic components.
Intended Use
The 3DFIS is intended for use in any application where a fluoroscope is incorporated to aid in diagnosis and treatment of desease.
Technological Characteristics
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS) is designed as a "retrofit" for an existing fivoro-The obsides interescope mage enhancement capabilities in addition to those provided by the fluoroscope. The 3DFIS is connected to the fluoroscope by a video cable.

Performance
The 3DFIS processes images at any user selectable rate up to full frame rate (30 frames/sec). The delay between frame acquisition and frame display is less than the time between frames, i.e. 33 msee. Utilization of the 3DFIS in the AVG or LIT modes produces enhanced image contrast and reduced image noise.
Safety and Effectiveness
The device serves only as an image display which is in addition to the fluoroscope's standard image display device. Both are viewable at all times. Furthermore, the device is passive, i.e. its operation depends only on the video output of the fluoroscope. Neither control signals or images move in the other direction from the 3DFIS to the fluoroscope. It herefore has no adverse safety or effectiveness issues and its use poses no risk of injury or death to patient or medical personnel.
The electronic components of the 3DFIS, i.e. the Apple Corp. PowerMac computer and the Scion Corp. CG7 frame grabber, have been tested by their manufacturers and have been found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specification in Part 15 of FCC rules. In addition, the PowerMac computer is U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR compliant and is TCO95 approved and labelled. The TCO standard covers environmental issues, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption, and energy safety. The 3DFIS monitor has the following agency approvals: FCC Part 15 Class B, EN55022 Class B, EN55024, VCCI Class 2B, AS/NZS 3548 Class B, CNS 13438 Class B, ICES-003 Class B, MPR II, EC 950, UL 1950, CSA 950, EN60950, U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR, TCO 95.
Classification
The 3DFIS is classified as "System, Image Processing." It is equivalent in safety and performance to the predicate device.
