Intended Use
IntelePACS™ is a device that receives digital images and data from various sources (e.g. CT scanners, MR scanners, ultrasound systems, R/F units, computer & direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways or other imaging sources). Images and data can be communicated, processed, manipulated, enhanced, stored, and displayed within the system and or across computer networks at distributed locations.
Device Description
IntelePACS™ is comprised of software modules that provide image capture, storage, distribution, enhancement, manipulation, and networking of medical images at distributed locations. In cases where DICOM images are not directly available to IntelePACS™, the system can acquire medical images using a DICOM image gateway, which generates DICOM-type files. For example, film digitizers obtain images from original film and convert them to meet DICOM standards and stored. Stored files are transmitted using a network and can be viewed or manipulated from imaging workstation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard PACS system for image management and manipulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as receiving, communicating, processing, manipulating, enhancing, storing, and displaying digital images and data, primarily for viewing and networking medical images. It does not exert any direct therapeutic action or provide treatment.

No

The provided information states that the device receives, processes, stores, and displays digital images and data. While it handles medical images, the description does not indicate that the device itself performs diagnostic interpretations or provides diagnostic conclusions on the images. It functions as an image management and viewing system, which supports diagnostic processes performed by trained professionals, rather than being a diagnostic device itself.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that IntelePACS™ is comprised of "software modules" and describes its functions as receiving, processing, manipulating, enhancing, storing, and displaying digital images and data. While it interacts with hardware (scanners, workstations), the device itself, as described, is the software system.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • IntelePACS™ Function: The description of IntelePACS™ clearly states its purpose is to receive, process, store, and display digital images from various medical imaging modalities (CT, MR, ultrasound, etc.). It deals with images of the body, not with analyzing biological specimens in vitro (outside the body).

The device's function aligns with a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which is a common type of medical device used in radiology and other imaging departments.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Alletto:

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.
