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 provides information for screening and diagnosis but does not directly treat or cure any condition. Its primary function is to analyze MRI studies and provide measurements and processing functions, and it explicitly states that "Patient management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of CADstream analysis."
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states, "When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information that may be useful in screening and diagnosis." This clearly indicates its role in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description explicitly states that the CADstream system consists of "proprietary software developed by Confirma installed on off-the-shelf personal hardware," and lists specific hardware components like a "PC Server" and an "Archive System" with a CD/DVD burner and printer. This indicates it is a system that includes both software and hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device 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.
- CADstream's Function: CADstream analyzes medical images (MRI, ultrasound, mammography) that are acquired from the patient, but it does not perform tests on biological samples taken from the patient. It processes and analyzes existing image data to provide information to a physician.
The device is a computer-aided detection (CAD) system for medical imaging, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
No
The document states "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text: Not Found", which indicates that no PCCP was approved or cleared for this device.
Intended Use / Indications for 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 provides quantitative measurements of morphological features of the segmented tissues. CADstream performs other user-defined post-processing functions (image subtractions, multiplanar and oblique reformats, maximum intensity projections, image averaging, removal of cardiac artifact).
CADstream also can be used to provide accurate and reproducible measurements of the segmented tissue volumes of interest (VOI)). These measurements include longest diameter, longest in-plane diameters, volume measurement-(reported in cc), ratio of breast volume to VOI, distance of VOI to anatomical landmarks, and 3D renderings of the VOI.
The system includes an optional remote image viewer (CADalyst™), optimized for viewing breast MR studies processed by CADstream. CADalyst also displays and telecommunicates images from a number of other medical modalities, including ultrasound and digitized mammographic images, processed data from FDA-cleared third party image processing systems, and FDA-approved systems for computer-aided detection and advanced image processing. The ultrasound and digitized mammographic images displayed on the CADalyst remote image viewer must not be used for primary diagnostic interpretation.
CADstream™ includes software to support the use of interventional breast coils and MR stereotactic localization devices to perform MR-guided breast interventional procedures (SureLocTM). 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.
CADstream also includes the option to add annotations based on the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS®) Breast Imaging Atlas.
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 off-the-shelf personal hardware. 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 Image Viewer component, . optimized for viewing breast MR studies processed by CADstream
- . Archive System: a PC with a combination CD/DVD burner and printer
To initiate CADstream analysis and processing, 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.
CADstream Version 4.0 includes the following software features:
- CADstream™, which allows the user to select a study to view, define . settings for CADstream processes, process and export CADstream results, and perform administrative tasks.
- CADalyst™ (the study viewer), which allows the user to view . CADstream results, interact with the volumes, curves, and AngioMap overlays, and print and save a CADstream Portfolio. This component can be accessed from a standalone CADstream workstation, a remote computer connected to the same network as the CADstream server, such as a PACS, or a PC.
- . CADalyst includes multi-modality viewing capabilities, allowing the user to view ultrasound and digitized mammographic images. The ultrasound and digitized mammographic images displayed on the CADalyst remote image viewer must not be used for primary diagnostic interpretation.
- SureLoc™ is a guidance tool that assists the user in calculating target ● coordinates for biopsy, wire localization, or other interventional procedures.
- DICOM query/retrieve and print, which allows retrieval of DICOM . data from any DICOM-compliant device that is configured for CADstream query and retrieval.

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)
