No
The description focuses on standard PACS and teleradiology functionalities like image acquisition, storage, retrieval, viewing, and reporting. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing features that would typically indicate the use of such technologies.
No.
The device is a PACS and teleradiology system for managing, storing, and viewing medical images and reports, which is an imaging informatics system, not a therapeutic device.
Yes
The device description explicitly states it has a "diagnostic workstation component (Workstation and Viewer)" and that "The image data is transmitted to and rendered on the user's workstation using the diagnostic workstation components," indicating its role in facilitating diagnosis. Furthermore, the intended use in "radiologist reading practices" reinforces its diagnostic application.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple components (GatewayServer, SendServer, SmartServer, Workstation, Viewer, ArchiveServer) which are described as parts of the system and handle data acquisition, storage, and display. While these components likely involve software, the description implies a system with hardware elements beyond just software running on general-purpose hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes a system for managing and displaying medical images and related information (scheduling, reports). It focuses on the workflow and access to existing diagnostic data, not on performing tests on biological samples to diagnose conditions.
- Device Description: The description details a PACS and teleradiology system, outlining components for acquiring, storing, organizing, and displaying medical images and reports. This aligns with the function of a system for managing and accessing diagnostic imaging data, not for performing in vitro tests.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Performing chemical, immunological, or molecular tests.
- Providing diagnostic information based on the results of such tests.
The device's function is to manage and present diagnostic information that has already been generated by other means (the imaging modalities). It is a tool for radiologists and other medical professionals to view and work with this information.
Therefore, PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 falls under the category of a medical image management and display system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 is a PACS system, comprised of acquisition components (GatewayServer and SendServer), a central system manager component (SmartServer), a diagnostic workstation component (Workstation and Viewer), and an archiving component (ArchiveServer). The data flow is such that patient and procedure information is optionally delivered to the central system manager, followed by the acquisition of the image objects directly from the image sources or by one of the acquisition components. After receiving the procedure information or after receiving image objects, the central system manager searches for and retrieves relevant prior procedure data from the archive component. When the central system manager registers the acquired image objects and the retrieved prior procedure data, a user can access the information by selecting the item from the operator worklist. The image data is transmitted to and rendered on the user's workstation using the diagnostic workstation components. After using the workstation to view the images, the user optionally dictates a report into the system, after which, a user can play back the dictation and transcribe it to text. Once PracticeBuilder 1-2-3's central system manager registers a report, the report is available for access by the referring physician, or it can be exported into an information system. At some configured point in time, the image data and the report information is delivered to the archiving component for backup and long-term storage.
PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 is also a teleradiology system used to receive DICOM images, scheduling information and textual reports, organize and store them in an internal format, and to make that information available across a network via web and customized user interfaces. Practice Builder 1-2-3 is for hospitals, imaging centers, radiologist reading practices and any user who requires and is granted access to patient image, demographic and report information.

§ 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)

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
The device labeling contains instructions for use and indications for use.
The hardware components specified (but not supplied) are all "off the shelf" computer components.
Validation and Effectiveness:
Extensive testing of the software package has been performed by programmers, by non-programmers, quality control staff, and by potential customers.
Substantial Equivalence:
PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 has Indications for Use and a Target Population similar to other medical image devices, including Stentor's iSite Radiology (K013630) and Stentor's iVault (Class I Exempt), Agfa's IMPAX (K022292), and Ultravisual's Vortex (K012097). All of the functions PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 performs are available in at least one of the listed substantially equivalent devices. In most cases, the function is available in all of them. There are no significant differences between PracticeBuilder 1-2-3 and the collective functions of all the predicate devices. See section E for additional information.

Dear Mr. Allsebrook:
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.
