Intended Use
REX™ 3.0 is a software package intended for viewing and manipulating DICOM-compliant medical images acquired from CT and MR scanners. REX™ 3.0 can be used for real-time image viewing, image manipulation, 3D volume rendering, virtual endoscopy, and issuance of reports.
Device Description
REX™ 3.0 is a tool for 3D (three dimensional) and 2D (two dimensional) viewing and manipulation of DICOM compliant CT and MR images. The proposed software provides real-time image viewing, image manipulation, 3D volume rendering, virtual endoscopy, and issuance of reports.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on standard image viewing and manipulation techniques.

No
The device is described as a software package for viewing and manipulating medical images, intended for diagnostic rather than therapeutic purposes. Its functions include image viewing, manipulation, 3D rendering, virtual endoscopy, and report issuance, none of which directly administer therapy.

No

The device is described as a software package for viewing and manipulating medical images, and issuing reports, not for providing a diagnosis itself. It is a tool used in the diagnostic process by healthcare professionals, but it doesn't perform the diagnosis.

Yes

The device is described as a "software package" and a "tool for 3D and 2D viewing and manipulation of DICOM compliant CT and MR images," with no mention of accompanying hardware components. Its functions are purely software-based image processing and reporting.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that REX™ 3.0 is for viewing and manipulating medical images acquired from CT and MR scanners. These are images of the human body itself, not specimens taken from it (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.).
  • The purpose is image viewing and manipulation for diagnostic interpretation. While the software aids in the diagnostic process by allowing physicians to view and manipulate images, it does not perform tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, REX™ 3.0 falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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)
