Device Description
The 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS - Model IES-FL-101) is a stand-alone computer system interfaced to a fluoroscopy and display system through a video cable. The images produced by the fluoroscope are transmitted through a frame capture board in the computer where the images are enhanced and then displayed on the computer's monitor. Each enhanced image is displayed on the 3DFIS monitor 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 by simple 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 3DFIS is comprised of three elements. The input element to which the video images from the fluoroscope are connected is a frame capture interface. The computational element, the central component of the system, is a computer. The computer includes several expansion bus slots for 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 selectable by the user 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.

No
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.
