Intended Use
The revised Wackers-Liu CQ® Software is a stand-alone software package for quantification of emission computed tomography (ECT) myocardial perfusion images. The data generated by the Wackers-Liu CQ® Software is intended to be used by the physician in addition to other complementary data in the evaluation of cardiac function and blood supply. It is not meant to replace or eliminate the physician's standard visual interpretation of the patient study or the integration of additional clinical and/or diagnostic information (patient history, stress and/or rest EKG, echocardiogram, etc.) prior to making any final clinical diagnostic or treatment decision. The Wackers-Liu CQ® Software also provides for transmission of ECT images over the internet.
Device Description
The revised Wackers-Liu CQ® Software is a stand-alone software package. This original product is the automated commercial version of a totally integrated and manually operated cardiac imaging analysis package developed by Drs. Wackers and Liu, and others at the Yale University Cardiovascular Nuclear Imaging Laboratory and described extensively in the peer-reviewed literature. Modifications to the cleared Wackers-Liu CQ® Software consist of changes to the handling of non-circular left ventricular edges and counting voxels. Changes to the Wackers-Liu CQ® Software are transparent to the user.
More Information

No
The summary describes an automated software package for image quantification based on previously developed methods, with modifications focused on handling specific image features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets, which are typically associated with AI/ML development and validation.

No.
The software is intended for quantification of images to aid in evaluation, not for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes
The software quantifies myocardial perfusion images for evaluating cardiac function and blood supply, and its output is intended to be used by a physician in the evaluation of cardiac function and blood supply, which are aspects of diagnosis.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "stand-alone software package" and the description focuses solely on software modifications and validation. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components.

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 Wackers-Liu CQ® Software processes emission computed tomography (ECT) images of the myocardium. This is an imaging modality that uses radioactive tracers injected into the patient's body to visualize and quantify blood flow and function. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The software is used to quantify data from these images to aid physicians in evaluating cardiac function and blood supply. This is a form of medical imaging analysis, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, while it is a medical device used in diagnosis, it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.
