Intended Use
The IQQA-Liver is a PC-based, self-contained, non-invasive image analysis software application for reviewing serial multi-phase CT acquisitions of the liver. Combining image viewing, processing and reporting tools, the software is designed to support physicians in the visualization, evaluation and reporting of liver and physician-identified liver lesions. The software supports a workflow based on automated image registration for viewing and analyzing multi-phase volume datasets. It also includes tools for interactive segmentation and labeling of liver segments and vascular structures. The software provides functionalities for manual or interactive segmentation of physician-identified lesions, and allows for regional volumetric analysis of such lesions in terms of size, shape, position and enhancement pattern, providing information for physician's assessment of lesion characterization. The software is designed for use by trained physicians. Image source: DICOM.
Device Description
The IQQA-Liver Software is a self-contained, non-invasive radiographic image analysis application that is designed to run on standard PC hardware. The image input is DICOM. Combining image processing, viewing and reporting tools, the software supports physicians in the visualization, evaluation and reporting of liver and physician identified liver lesions. Viewing tools include 2D axial image viewing, window level adjustment, a pre-defined optimized liver window level setting, synchronized viewing of multi-phase datascts, MPR and MIP. Analysis and evaluation tools include segmentation of structures utilizing user input of seeding points, interactive labeling of segmented areas, quantitative measurement derived from segmentation and labeling results, and the measurement of distance between physician specified structures to landmarks. Reporting tools in the software automatically assemble information (including physician identified lesion locations, measurement information, physician-input lesion characterization, lesion ROl images across multi-phases, and illustrative snapshots of the GUI taken by physicians) for physician's confirmation and for further diagnosis note input. The IQQA-Liver software supports a workflow based on automated registration for viewing and analyzing multi-phase volume datasets. The software automatically matches the spatial location of axial images across multi-phases, and provides synchronized viewing of multi-phase dataset to aid visualization. The software further includes tools for interactive segmentation and interactive labeling of liver segments and vascular structures (such as liver lobes, vessels and major branches), thus facilitating the visualization of spatial relationship between suspicious liver lesions and specified anatomical structures/landmarks. The tools also allow for interactive segmentation of physician-identified lesions using user input of seed points, and regional analysis of such lesions with respect to size, shape, position and enhancement pattern, thus providing information to help physician's assessment of lesion characterization. The software is designed for use by trained physicians only. Physicians make all final patient management decisions.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes image processing, segmentation, and registration tools, but does not mention AI or ML. The automated registration and segmentation features are described as based on user input or standard image processing techniques, not AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as an image analysis software for visualization, evaluation, and reporting of liver and liver lesions, supporting diagnosis and assessment, but not providing any direct treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device aids in the visualization, evaluation, and reporting of liver and liver lesions, providing information for "physician's assessment of lesion characterization" and allowing for "further diagnosis note input." This directly supports the diagnostic process.

Yes

The device is described as a "PC-based, self-contained, non-invasive image analysis software application" and "a self-contained, non-invasive radiographic image analysis application that is designed to run on standard PC hardware." It processes DICOM images and provides viewing, analysis, and reporting tools. There is no mention of proprietary hardware or components included with the device; it relies on standard PC hardware for operation.

Based on the provided information, the IQQA-Liver 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.
  • IQQA-Liver Function: The IQQA-Liver is a software application that analyzes medical images (CT scans) of the liver. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "reviewing serial multi-phase CT acquisitions of the liver" and "support physicians in the visualization, evaluation and reporting of liver and physician-identified liver lesions." This is image analysis, not in vitro testing.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "radiographic image analysis application" that takes "DICOM" image input.

Therefore, the IQQA-Liver falls under the category of medical image analysis software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Conry:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set Orth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
