Intended Use
Ascentia ™ (formally Encompass™) is a picture archiving and communications system intended to be used as a networked cardiovascular information and image data storage and display system. Ascentia™ is comprised of modular software programs that run on standard "off-the-shelf" personal computers and servers running the Windows 2000/2007/XP operating system. Ascentia™ accepts DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data from laboratories, which support DICOM standard imaging equipment from multiple OEM vendors. The system provides the capability to, consolidate images generated by equipment from multiple OEM vendors, view images, enter clinical findings while viewing the associated images, perform digital subtraction, create graphical representation of coronary arteries, perform quantitative analysis on cath images, generate and review patient reports with additional measurement capabilities and provides accessible digital image archive. Ascentia™ is a scalable network solution that can be used in small areas and departments (with 2 or 3 users) to large hospital networks (with tens of users).

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard PACS system with image viewing, storage, and basic quantitative analysis capabilities, but makes no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a picture archiving and communications system for storing and displaying cardiovascular information and images. It does not mention any therapeutic function or direct treatment of a disease or condition.

No
The device is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) that stores and displays medical images and information. While it allows for viewing, analysis, and report generation, it does not directly diagnose conditions. It is a tool that facilitates the work of a diagnostician but is not itself a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device is described as "comprised of modular software programs that run on standard 'off-the-shelf' personal computers and servers," indicating it is a software-only solution that utilizes existing hardware platforms.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Ascentia is a "picture archiving and communications system intended to be used as a networked cardiovascular information and image data storage and display system." It focuses on managing and displaying medical images and related data.
  • 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. Ascentia does not perform any such tests on biological samples.
  • Functionality: The described functionalities (image storage, display, viewing, analysis, reporting, archiving) are typical of a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and are not related to in vitro testing.

Therefore, Ascentia falls under the category of a medical imaging system or a medical image management system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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).

Predicate Technical Characteristics

Very little difference can be found between Heartlab, Inc. Ascentia™ and the predicate devices noted above. Both systems take DICOM images from DICOM compliant imaging systems. Both systems archive this data in the DICOM format and provide a retrieval function for review, analysis and reporting.

For the acquisition of images from DICOM compliant imaging systems and the conversion of these images for distribution over a network; the Heartlab, Inc. system, and both the Agfa and Philips systems use similar techniques and offer the same functionality. Thus, for DICOM compliant image distribution over a network, the Heartlab, Inc. Ascentia™ device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices noted above.
