There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image analysis, diagnosis support, or workflow optimization beyond basic viewing tools. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) used for presenting, viewing, and storing medical images. It does not provide any diagnostic, therapeutic, or treatment functions.
No
This device is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) that presents and manages medical images but does not actively diagnose or interpret them. Its function is to organize, display, and store images for review by radiologists and other medical professionals.
Yes
The device is described as a "software product" that resides on "off-the-shelf hardware" and provides tools for viewing, organizing, and storing medical images and data. The description focuses entirely on the software's functionality and does not mention any proprietary or custom hardware components that are part of the medical device itself.
Based on the provided information, this 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The described device is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Its primary function is to store, retrieve, and display medical images (like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs) and associated information from imaging modalities. It provides tools for viewing and organizing these images for interpretation by medical professionals.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples from the human body. It processes and presents images generated by medical imaging equipment.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for presenting images and information from modalities to radiologists and others for reading and reporting, not for analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging software and systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The PACS product provides a system where images and accompanying data are sent from the modalities to the radiologists and technologists in digital format. The images are then viewed on a computer with such available tools a window, level, zoom, pan, roi, digital subtraction, ejection fraction, cross localize, and many other similar tools and with the ability to make notes and dictate a report. The images and report are then stored long term on a digital archive with multiple redundancy. All the information is also made available as a web based product where referring physicians or radiologists can access the information from anywhere using a secure system. The software is provided by NovaRad along with some 3 party software, principally from windows, and resides on off-the-shelf hardware hooked up to the radiology department local area network.
The general use of this device is to be used to read images and information from modalities and store this data so that it can be easily retrieved.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
There are no clinical tests to compare the two as they are merely software products that send and store images and information. Since the images are not changed or analyzed by the product there is no safety issue, except possible related to the safety of the archived images. NovaRad has more redundancy than the predicate device in that they store the original images on-site with a redundant RAID 5 configuration and then they have another RAID 5 archive on site as a redundant archive and then NovaRad stores a 3th multiple redundant copy of each image and accompanying information at its corporate headquarters.

NovaRad Corporation
NovaRad Corporation, located at 758 E. Utah Valley Dr., Ste 200 in American Fork, UT 84003 is submitting its PACS product. The contract person is Paul Shumway. The name of the device is PACS. It is a class 2 device under 892.2050. The trade name is NovaPACS.
This device is being represented as substantially equivalent to the Kodak DirectView (Carestream) PACS product, a class 2 device under 892.2050. The PACS product provides a system where images and accompanying data are sent from the modalities to the radiologists and technologists in digital format. The images are then viewed on a computer with such available tools a window, level, zoom, pan, roi, digital subtraction, ejection fraction, cross localize, and many other similar tools and with the ability to make notes and dictate a report. The images and report are then stored long term on a digital archive with multiple redundancy. All the information is also made available as a web based product where referring physicians or radiologists can access the information from anywhere using a secure system. The software is provided by NovaRad along with some 3 party software, principally from windows, and resides on off-the-shelf hardware hooked up to the radiology department local area network.
The general use of this device is to be used to read images and information from modalities and store this data so that it can be easily retrieved.
As compared to the predicate device, ignoring dissimilarities of hardware brand and specific tools, menus, shortcuts, usability, desktop appearance, price and data base type, the products are exactly similar. The both provide the exact same ability to replace film with digital and they both perform the exact same functions. Both products could be used interchangeable in most aspects. When a customer is looking at our product compared to the predicate device, they are mostly considering differences in service level, price, and ease of use.
There are no clinical tests to compare the two as they are merely software products that send and store images and information. Since the images are not changed or analyzed by the product there is no safety issue, except possible related to the safety of the archived images. NovaRad has more redundancy than the predicate device in that they store the original images on-site with a redundant RAID 5 configuration and then they have another RAID 5 archive on site as a redundant archive and then NovaRad stores a 3th multiple redundant copy of each image and accompanying information at its corporate headquarters.
