Intended Use
CADstream™ is a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system intended for use in analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. CADstream automatically registers serial patient image acquisitions (in 2D or 3D) to minimize the impact of patient motion, segments and labels tissue types based on enhancement characteristics (parametric image maps, referred to as angiogenesis maps), and performs other userdefined post-processing fimage subtractions, multiplanar reformats, maximum intensity projections). CADstream also can be used to provide accurate and reproducible measurements of the longest diameters and volume of segmented tissues. including automated determination of volumes of interest (VOI), calculation of the longest diameter in X, Y and Z dimensions, the areas of VOI, the volume measurements of VOI (reported in cc), and 3D renderings of VOI. The system includes an optional remote image viewer (CADalyst™), optimized for viewing breast MR studies processed by CADstream. CADstream™ includes software to support the use of breast interventional coils and MR stereotactic localization devices to perform breast interventional procedures (SureLoc™). Using information from MR images regarding the coordinates of a user-specified region of interest, and fiducial coordinates, the software provides an automatic calculation of the location and depth of the targeted region of interest, such as a lesion or suspected lesion. When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information that may be useful in screening and diagnosis. Patient management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of CADstream analysis.
Device Description
The CADstream device relies on the assumption that pixels having similar MR signal intensities represent similar tissues. The CADstream software simultaneously analyzes the pixel signal intensities from multiple MR sequences and applies multivariate pattern recognition methods to perform tissue segmentation and classification. CADstream is designed to analyze dynamic breast MRI studies. The CADstream system consists of proprietary software developed by Confirma installed on an off-the-shelf personal computer and a monitor configured as a CADstream display station. The CADstream System consists of the following key components: - . A PC Server: a desk-side or rack mount PC capable of running the Server software, Client User Interface software, and Study Viewer software - . Server software: performs CADstream analysis and processing - Client User Interface software: an administrative web page hosted on the Server . - Study Viewer software (CADalyst): an optional Image Viewer component. . optimized for viewing breast MR studies processed by CADstream - Archive System: a PC with CD burner and printer . In all cases, images are acquired and pushed to the CADstream system from the MR scanner. CADstream is configured to automatically process the images and create additional series. In this configuration, CADstream forwards the processed and original images to the existing softcopy reading station.
More Information

Not Found

Yes
The device description explicitly mentions the use of "multivariate pattern recognition methods" for tissue segmentation and classification, which is a common technique used in machine learning.

No
The device is a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system used for analyzing MRI studies and providing information for screening and diagnosis; it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The device aids in analyzing MRI studies, segments and labels tissue, performs image processing, and provides measurements that may be useful in screening and diagnosis, especially "when interpreted by a skilled physician". This fits the definition of a diagnostic device as it provides information used to identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CADstream system consists of proprietary software installed on an "off-the-shelf personal computer and a monitor configured as a CADstream display station," and lists a "PC Server" and "Archive System" as key components. While the core functionality is software-based, the system includes dedicated hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze biological samples: IVDs are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
  • CADstream analyzes medical images: The CADstream system analyzes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies, which are medical images of the body, not biological samples.
  • The intended use is image processing and analysis: The description clearly states that CADstream is a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system intended for analyzing MRI studies, registering images, segmenting tissues, and performing post-processing.
  • The device description focuses on software and hardware for image analysis: The components listed are a PC server, software for analysis and viewing, and an archive system, all related to processing and managing image data.

Therefore, while CADstream is a medical device used in diagnosis, it falls under the category of medical imaging software and not In Vitro Diagnostics.

No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device. The section "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text" is marked as "Not Found."
