Intended Use
The Centricity PACS Plus system is used to transmit, store and display images throughout a clinical environment. The Centricity PACS Plus is an image display software application that is intended for use by qualified physicians and other personnel for reading, diagnostic review, and analysis of digital images acquired from imaging devices such as CT, MR, CR, DX, MG, US, NM, PET, and other devices. As a part of the PACS Plus system the Centricity RA1000 is used to view digital images that are obtained from a GE Centricity PACS System, or another DICOM device.

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The description focuses on standard PACS functionalities like image transmission, storage, display, and basic processing.

No
The device is described as an image display software application for reading, diagnostic review, and analysis of digital images, not as a device that provides therapeutic treatment.

Yes
The device is described as being used by physicians and other personnel for "reading, diagnostic review, and analysis of digital images" from various imaging devices, directly supporting diagnostic activities.

Yes

The device is described as an "image display software application" and its function is to transmit, store, and display images. While it interacts with imaging devices, the description focuses solely on the software's role in handling and presenting the images. The predicate devices are also described as workstations, implying a software-centric function for image review.

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 system is used to "transmit, store and display images" and for "reading, diagnostic review, and analysis of digital images acquired from imaging devices". This describes a system that processes and presents medical images, not a system that performs tests on biological samples (which is the core function of an IVD).
  • Device Description: While the description mentions image processing, it's within the context of displaying and reviewing medical images, not analyzing biological samples.
  • Input: The input is digital images from various medical imaging modalities (CT, MR, etc.), not biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

The device is a medical image management and display system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

§ 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 Mr. Steneberg:

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.
