Intended Use
CT Colonography is a CT image analysis software package which allows the visualization of 2D and 3D medical image data of the colon derived from DICOM 3.0 compliant CT scans for the purpose of screening of a colon to detect polyps, masses, cancers, and other lesions. It provides functionality for 2D/3D rendering, bookmarking of suspected lesions, synchronized viewing of supine & prone data sets, and an object oriented endoluminal display. In comparison to colonoscopy, this tool has an advantage of depth penetration due its 3D presentation capability. It is intended for use by Radiologists, Clinicians, and referring Physicians to process, render, review, archive, print, and distribute colon image studies.
Device Description
CT Colonography is an image analysis software package that includes all the required software that allows the user to study the inside, wall, and outside of the colon using CT-acquired helical images. The tool is laid out to facilitate the detection of colonic lesions. CT Colonography is an advanced visualization software option that provides endoluminal views of anatomical structures. The flexibility of this software allows the user to move interactively from air paths to inner vessels visualization and thus, it is not limited to inner navigation of structures as lungs and sinuses. Volume Analysis (includes both. CT/MR Windows Workstation, K913770 and 3D & Dentascan for Windows K923077) provides the base for Colonography, CTC/Nav2 and Nav2 alone, which allows an increase in the ease of use and productivity. Colonography, CTC/Nav2 and Nav2 alone, also use some options of Volume Rendering (AW Volume Render Option K972399), which allows the user to quickly isolate structure of interest and render volumetric data in three dimensions.
More Information

No
The summary describes image analysis and visualization software with standard rendering and navigation features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like automated detection or classification based on learned patterns. The focus is on providing tools for human interpretation of the images.

No
The device is described as an image analysis software package for detecting lesions, not for treating any conditions.

Yes

The "Intended Use" section explicitly states that the software is for "screening of a colon to detect polyps, masses, cancers, and other lesions," which is a diagnostic purpose.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is an "image analysis software package" and details its functionalities related to processing and visualizing CT images. It does not mention any accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.

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 description clearly states that this device is a CT image analysis software package. It processes and visualizes medical image data (CT scans) of the colon.
  • Input: The input is CT scans, which are images, not biological samples.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to visualize and analyze existing image data for the detection of lesions. It does not perform any tests on biological specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Orellou:

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.
