• K Number: K032760
• Device Name: APAX PACS SYSTEM
• Manufacturer: TIS, INC.
• Date Cleared: 2003-09-17 ( 12 days)
• Product Code: LLZ
• Regulation Number: 892.2050

Intended Use

The APAX™ PACS is intended to be used by authorized staff to perform medical image management, communications, storage, archiving and review. Images and data can be stored, transmitted (communicated), processed at the workstation, physician's desktop or other clinical application and distributed across networks or the world wide web. Typical users are trained professionals, including not limited to physicians, nurses, and technicians.

Device Description

The APAX™ PACS system is a general purpose software designed for acquisition/ capture/ view/ archival and transmission of medical images. This device allows easy capturing, selection, review, processing and filming of multi-modality DICOM images from a variety of diagnosis imaging systems such as MRI, CT, CR, etc., and of non-DICOM images from Ultrasound (by capturing) and X-ray Film (by scanning). When interpreted by a trained physician, filmed images may be used as a basis for a diagnosis. The PACS system

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

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

Therapeutic

No
The device is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for managing medical images, which is not a therapeutic function.

Diagnostic

No

The device is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) intended for medical image management, storage, and communication. While it handles images used for diagnosis, the device itself does not perform diagnostic functions; it merely provides the platform for authorized staff and trained physicians to review and interpret medical images for diagnostic purposes.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "general purpose software" and focuses on the software functionalities for image management, processing, and transmission. While it interacts with hardware (imaging systems, workstations), the device itself is presented as the software component.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

• IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The APAX™ PACS deals with medical images (MRI, CT, CR, Ultrasound, X-ray Film).
• The intended use and device description clearly state its purpose is for medical image management, communication, storage, archiving, and review. This is distinct from analyzing biological samples.
• The input modalities are imaging modalities, not biological specimens.

Therefore, the APAX™ PACS falls under the category of medical imaging software or a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Dear Mr. Mouser:

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.
