Intended Use
ImageQube is intended for use by a physician or other medical professionals in the acquisition of medical images and demographic detail from all institutional imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, NM, DR, US, nuclear medicine, Angio and secondary capture devices such as film digitizers or other imaging sources. The ImageQube Web system is designed for acquisition, storage, and distribution of all modalities. Device is also designed for primary interpretation of all modalities except manmography. Device is not to be used for primary imaging diagnosis in mammography and will be conspicuously labeled as such during display of mammography images. The acquired medical images and demographic information may be displayed, processed, reviewed optionally utilizing Rational Imaging PACS Multi-planar Reconstruction (MPR), Anatomic Triangulation (AT) and 3D display, sent to and retrieved by radiologists at remote sites, stored, archived or printed.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard medical image processing and display functionalities (MPR, AT, 3D display) but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe any AI/ML-specific development or validation processes.

No.
The device is used for acquisition, storage, processing, and distribution of medical images, not for treating any medical condition or directly affecting patient health outcomes therapeutically.

No

The device is described as an image acquisition, storage, and distribution system, and it explicitly states it is not for "primary imaging diagnosis in mammography." While it allows for "primary interpretation of all modalities except mammography," which suggests a role in reviewing images that could contribute to a diagnosis, its core function is image management rather than an independent diagnostic assessment. The term "interpretation" in this context refers to the viewing and analysis of images by a human professional, not an automated diagnostic output from the device itself.

Unknown

The summary describes a system for acquiring, storing, displaying, processing, and distributing medical images. While it mentions software functionalities like MPR, AT, and 3D display, it also refers to "acquisition of medical images and demographic detail from all institutional imaging modalities" and "secondary capture devices such as film digitizers or other imaging sources." This suggests the system may include hardware components for image acquisition or interfacing with imaging modalities, which would make it more than just software. The summary does not explicitly state it is software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The intended use and device description of ImageQube clearly state that it is for the acquisition, storage, display, processing, and distribution of medical images from various imaging modalities (CT, MRI, etc.). These are images of the body itself, not specimens taken from the body.
  • The focus is on image management and interpretation, not laboratory testing. The functions described relate to handling and viewing images, not performing tests on biological samples.

Therefore, ImageQube falls under the category of medical imaging software or a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication 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)
