Intended Use
The intended use of the fourSight ViewTool is for the acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of ultrasound images, including image manipulation and quantification.
Device Description
The ViewTool is used to view volumes and images, to store and print images, and to make measurements on images using a personal computer. The software is user-installable. The images are acquired by ultrasound systems using standardized formatting and are transferred from the ultrasound system to the PC hosting the ViewTool software by CD-ROM.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard image viewing, storage, and basic processing functionalities typical of medical image viewers, without mentioning any AI/ML terms or describing algorithms that would typically fall under those categories. The processing described is likely traditional digital image processing.

No.
The device is used for viewing, storing, and manipulating ultrasound images. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on a patient.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a tool for viewing, storing, printing, and manipulating ultrasound images, and for making measurements on these images. While it processes images, its stated intended use does not include diagnosing diseases or conditions, but rather handling and quantifying existing ultrasound images. The predicates are also viewing and ultrasound systems, not diagnostic tools themselves.

Yes

The device is described as software that is user-installable on a personal computer and processes images transferred via CD-ROM, with no mention of accompanying hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the fourSight ViewTool 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.
  • ViewTool's Function: The ViewTool's intended use is for the processing and viewing of ultrasound images. Ultrasound is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging modality, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples. The input is ultrasound images, not biological specimens.

Therefore, the fourSight ViewTool falls under the category of medical imaging software, 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)
