Intended Use

The IQQA-Chest is a PC-Based, self-contained, non-invasive image analysis package used during the review of digital chest radiographic images. Combining image viewing, evaluation and reporting tools, the software is designed to support the physician in the identification of lung lesions (e.g. nodules), as well as the confirmation, evaluation and documentation of such physician-identified lesions. The IQQA-Chest software package supports a workflow based on automated segmentation for the visual identification of possible lesions. The tools also allow for regional analysis of possible lesions in terms of size, shape and position, thus aiding the physician in the characterization of physician-identified suspicious lesions.

Device Description

The IQQA-Chest Software Package is a self-contained, non-invasive thoracic radiographic image analysis package that is designed to run on standard PC hardware. Combining image viewing tools (e.g. image window level, pan, zoom, enhancement viewing), evaluation tools (e.g. automatic/interactive segmentation, quantitative measurements derived from marking and segmentation), and reporting tools (e.g. saved lesion, measurement information, physician-input nodule characterization, and etc), the software package is designed to support the physician in the identification of lung lesions (e.g. nodules), as well as the the physician in the laonificance or entation of such physician-identified lesions.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the IQQA-Chest Software Package's 510(k) summary. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria, detailed study designs, or performance metrics beyond a general statement of equivalency.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested tables and information adequately. The document states:

  • "Testing was performed according to internal company procedures."
  • "Software testing and validation were done according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted."
  • "Test results were reviewed by designated technical professionals before software proceeded to release."
  • "Test results support the conclusion that actual device performance satisfies the design intent."

This indicates that internal testing was conducted, but the specifics such as criteria, methods, and results are not provided in this 510(k) summary.

Here's what I can provide based on the given text, highlighting the missing information:

Dear Mr. Kamm:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 8, 2004.

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. Iisting 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 such 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.

{4}------------------------------------------------

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding os substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.

§ 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).
