The summary describes image processing and visualization software with collaborative features, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis or processing.
No.
The device is described as a medical diagnostic software system that processes, analyzes, reviews, and distributes medical images, and aids in the study and analysis of vessels, but it does not directly apply therapy or treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "iConnection™ 3D' is a medical diagnostic software system." Furthermore, it describes features like "Advanced Vessel Analysis" that aid clinicians in the "quantification of stenosis, distance measurements and cross-sectional diameters, volume measurements," and "Pet Visualization" which allows for "overlay, inspection, and measurement" to "obtain a better understanding of the joint information." These functionalities are all indicative of a diagnostic device used to process and analyze medical images for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states that the iConnection system consists of a server, one or more client computers, and client/server communication, indicating hardware components are part of the system.
Based on the provided information, the iConnection™ 3D system 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 diagnostic purposes.
- iConnection's Function: The iConnection system processes, analyzes, reviews, and distributes digital images acquired from various imaging devices (CT, MR, PET, etc.). It works with images of the body, not with specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the processing and analysis of medical images for diagnostic purposes, planning, and monitoring. This is distinct from the analysis of biological samples.
- Device Description: The description focuses on software, servers, clients, and communication for image management and visualization. There is no mention of handling or analyzing biological specimens.
Therefore, the iConnection™ 3D system falls under the category of medical imaging software or picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) with advanced visualization capabilities, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
iConnection™ 3D' is a medical diagnostic software system intended to process, analyze, review, and distribute multi-dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices including: CT, MR, CR/DR/DX, SC, US, NM, PET, XA, and RF, etc. In addition, the iConnection system has the following specific intended uses:
Advanced Vessel Analysis is an option within the iConnection system intended to aid clinicians in the study and analysis of selected vessels, the inspection of circulatory anatomy, the quantification of stenosis, distance measurements and cross-sectional diameters, volume measurements, and assist in the planning and monitoring of vascular therapies. The feature operates with CT and MRI data.
Pet Visualization is an option within the iConnection system that provides for the overlay, inspection, and measurement of two different image modalities (primarily directed at PET and CT image datasets). The overlay operation enables clinicians to obtain a better understanding of the joint information that would otherwise have to be compared separately. It is important to note that the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making pertinent diagnosis based on their standard procedures, including visual comparison of separate images.
Collaboration Mode is a capability within the iConnection system that allows multiple users to collaboratively interact with iConnection system features and tools.

(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)
