No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and does not describe any features or processes that are characteristic of AI/ML, such as training data, performance metrics like AUC, or specific algorithms. The description focuses on user-driven segmentation and 3D model construction.

No.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The Metrx product is not intended to provide medical diagnosis or a recommended treatment approach," indicating it does not directly treat or manage a disease or condition.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" explicitly state that "The Metrx product is not intended to provide medical diagnosis or a recommended treatment approach."

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The Metrx Workstation is a software product". The intended use and device description focus solely on software functionalities for image processing and 3D model construction. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Metrx Workstation is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Metrx Workstation's Function: The Metrx Workstation processes imaging data (two-dimensional imaging data) to create 3D models of anatomical structures. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use Statement: The intended use explicitly states it's for segmenting and differentiating tissues and anatomical structures from imaging data and constructing 3D models. It also explicitly states it is not intended to provide medical diagnosis or a recommended treatment approach.

Therefore, the Metrx Workstation falls under the category of medical imaging software, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Trisler:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

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 (QS) 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 of 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:

21 CFR 876.xxxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
