Intended Use
The GE ViewPoint is intended to accept, transfer, display, store and process medical images and data, including the ability to measure, calculate, annotate and prepare and print patient examination reports primarily for diagnostic ultrasound.
Device Description
GE ViewPoint is a software based medical image management system providing the ability to review exam images and data, prepare and printing reports and communicate with ultrasound scanners and other PACS devices via DICOM or other network protocol. It is sold with or without the designated computer hardware.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard image management and processing functionalities without mentioning AI or ML.

No
The device is a medical image management system primarily used for processing, displaying, and storing diagnostic ultrasound images and data. It does not provide any therapeutic function.

Yes
The device is intended to process medical images and data, including the ability to measure and calculate, primarily for diagnostic ultrasound. Its predicate device is a "Diagnostic Workstation."

Yes

The device description explicitly states "GE ViewPoint is a software based medical image management system" and clarifies it is "sold with or without the designated computer hardware," indicating the core medical device functionality resides solely in the software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for accepting, transferring, displaying, storing, and processing medical images and data primarily for diagnostic ultrasound. This is focused on managing and presenting imaging information, not on performing tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by calling it a "medical image management system."
  • Lack of Biological Sample Interaction: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a core characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Focus on Image Processing and Management: The functions described (displaying, storing, processing images, reporting) are typical of medical imaging workstations and PACS systems, not IVDs.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The GE ViewPoint's function is centered around the management and presentation of pre-existing medical images.

§ 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)
