No
The document describes standard image processing, analysis, and archiving software for ultrasound studies. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies sections. The technology described aligns with traditional medical image management systems.
No
The device is described as software for acquiring, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and reporting digital ultrasound studies, acting as an image management system and medical image processing tool. It does not exert a therapeutic effect on the patient.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an image management system and a general purpose digital medical image processing tool for acquiring, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and reporting digital ultrasound studies. While it processes medical images for analysis, it does not explicitly state that it performs diagnostic interpretations or makes diagnostic decisions. Its functions revolve around data management, processing, and reporting, which are support functions to diagnosis, rather than being diagnostic itself.
Yes
The device is described as a "software tool package" and its functionality is focused on acquiring, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and reporting digital ultrasound studies. While it requires specific hardware (Intel Pentium computer and Windows OS), the device itself is the software application running on that hardware, not the hardware itself. The description emphasizes the software's modular structure and features for image processing and data management.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software is for acquiring, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and reporting digital ultrasound studies. It's an image management and processing tool for various medical specialties.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a software package for analysis, documentation, and archiving of ultrasound studies. It focuses on handling and processing medical images.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software does not interact with or analyze such specimens. Its input is digital ultrasound image data.
The software is a medical device, specifically a medical image management and processing system, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Image-Arena/Research-Arena Applications software tool package is intended to acquire, store, retrieve, analyze and report digital ultrasound studies. The Image-Arena Platform and the Research-Arena Platform are based on a SQL - database intended as image management system especially for medical ultrasound studies.
The Image-Arena/Research-Arena Applications software can import certain digital 2D or 3D image file formats for 2D/3D and 4D tomographic reconstructions and surface rendering.
The software is suited to stand-alone workstations as well as networked multisystem installations and is therefore an image management system for research and routine use in both physician practices and hospitals. It is intended as a general purpose digital medical image processing tool for cardiology, radiology, neurology, gastroenterology, urology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology.

Device Description
The hardware requirements are based on an Intel Pentium high performance computer system and Microsoft® Windows XP Professional™ or Microsoft® Windows 2000 Professional™ Operating System standards. The Image-Arena/Research-Arena Applications are a software tool package designed for analysis, documentation and archiving of ultrasound studies in multiple dimensions. The Image-Arena/Research-Arena Applications software tools are modular structured and consist of different software modules, combining the advantages of the previously FDA 510(k) cleared TomTec software product lines Echo-View and Echo-Com and Siemens Axius™ software applications.The different modules can be combined on the demand of the users to fulfil the requirements of a clinical researcher or routine oriented physician.
The Image-Arena/Research-Arena Applications offer features to import different digital 2D, 3D and 4D (dynamic 3D) image formats based on defined file format standards (DICOM-, HPSONOS-, TomTec- file formats) as well as analogue video acquisition in one system, thus making image analysis independent of the ultrasound-device or other imaging devices used.
Offline measurements, documentation in standard report forms, the possibility to implement user-defined report templates and instant access to the stored data through digital archiving make it a flexible tool for image analysis and storage of different imaging modalities data including B-mode, M-mode, Pulsed (PW) Doppler mode, Continuous (CW) wave Doppler mode, Power Amplitude Doppler mode, Color Doppler mode, Doppler Tissue Imaging and 3D/4D imaging modes.

§ 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)
