Device Description
Advantage Workstation 4.1 is a review station, which allows easy selection, review, processing and filming of multi-modality DICOM images from a variety of diagnosis imaging systems. When interpreted by a trained physician, filmed images may be used as a basis for a diagnosis. The AW 4.1 is positioned to be the system of choice for all users of CT, MR. Vascular Xray, Cardiac Xray, Digital Xray, PET or even PET/CT systems, MG, NM, US, SR.
More Information

No
The document describes a review station for multi-modality images with basic processing capabilities, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as a "review station" for multi-modality images, used by a physician for diagnosis, not for providing therapy.

No
The device is described as a "review station" that processes images from diagnostic systems, and its output (filmed images) "may be used as an element for diagnosis" when interpreted by a trained physician. It does not perform the diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "review station" and mentions "filming" and "media interchange," which strongly implies the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Advantage Workstation 4.1 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Advantage Workstation 4.1 Function: The description clearly states that the Advantage Workstation 4.1 is a "review station" for "multi-modality images from a variety of diagnosis imaging systems." It processes and displays images generated by medical imaging equipment (CT, MR, X-ray, etc.).
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological specimens. Its function is centered around the manipulation and display of medical images.

Therefore, the Advantage Workstation 4.1 falls under the category of medical imaging software or a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) component, not an IVD.

§ 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)
