No
The summary describes standard image viewing and manipulation tools, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as software for viewing and interpreting medical images, and for creating and displaying 2D/3D images from acquired digital images. It is used for diagnostic purposes and does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the AMICAS Diagnostic Workstation (ADW) is "software intended for viewing and diagnostic interpretation of images".
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "software" in both the Intended Use and Device Description sections, and there is no mention of accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself. While it requires "suitable commercial-standard hardware" for installation, this hardware is not part of the regulated device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- This device is software intended for viewing and interpreting medical images acquired directly from imaging systems (CT, MR, etc.) of the human body. It processes and displays these images, but it does not analyze biological samples.
The description clearly focuses on image processing and display for diagnostic interpretation of images, which falls under the category of medical imaging software, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AMICAS Light Beam Workstation (ALBW) is software intended to create and display two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of anatomy from a series of digitally acquired images.
The AMICAS Diagnostic Workstation (ADW) is software intended for viewing and diagnostic interpretation of images acquired from CT, MR, CR, DR, US and other DICOM-compliant medical imaging systems when installed on suitable commercial-standard hardware. The ADW receives imaging studies over a network from AMICAS servers or directly from CD with images utilizing both lossless (reversible) and lossy (irreversible) compression. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that monitor quality, ambient light conditions and image compression ratios are consistent with the clinical application.

§ 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).

General Safety Considerations
ALBW software and the computer platform that it is installed on together constitute a system for the interpretation of medical image data by trained and qualified professionals. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that image quality, display quality, environmental lighting and other possible distractions are consistent with the clinical application. Refer to the instruction manuals for your specific computer and display hardware for information regarding installation, calibration and additional safety issues.
The ALBW includes tools for enlarging, highlighting and obscuring portions of an image relative to other portions. Inappropriate application of these tools can result in the obscuration of important anatomy and contribute to an erroneous interpretation. It is the user's responsibility to understand the effect of image manipulation tools and to apply in a manner consistent with the clinical application. The user must review the cautionary statements in the User's guide.
Be sure to limit access to patient data to authorized individuals who are fully trained and qualified to use this equipment.
Testing:
ALBW is tested with reference to its Software Requirements Specifications, as documented in the Verification Procedure included in this 510(k) filing. Functional testing is an integral part of Amicas, Inc. Product Development process, also included in this filing (see section G)
