Intended Use
ART.LAB is a software package to be used on an external personal computer for the real time automatic measurement of the Intima Media Thickness, diameter and distension of the carotid artery from RF based signal processing obtained from Esaote or Pie Medical ultrasound systems. The Arterial Stiffness Indicator is calculated from distension and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic).
Device Description
The ART.LAB software product is an optional software package to be used on an external personal computer for the real time automatic measurement of the Intima Media Thickness, diameter and distension of the carotid artery. The measurements are based upon RF signal processing obtained from Esaote or Pie Medical ultrasound systems. The Arterial Stiffness Indicator is calculated from the distension and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic). The ART.LAB software operates in conjunction with an ultrasound system, a linear probe and is installed on an external PC, used for signal processing. Specifications: Ultrasound scanner with Fast-B-mode scanning capabilities and a linear probe PC P3 1 GHz with 256 MG memory Microsoft Windows 98 or XP Data acquisition card (for acquisition of RF-signals obtained from ultrasound system) Connection cable (from ultrasound system to PC, for RF, Z & trigger signals) ART.LAB software
More Information

No
The description focuses on "RF based signal processing" and "automatic measurement" without mentioning AI, ML, or related concepts. The technology described appears to be traditional signal processing and algorithmic measurement.

No
The device is a software package for measurement and calculation of arterial characteristics, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use" section explicitly states that ART.LAB is used for "real time automatic measurement of the Intima Media Thickness, diameter and distension of the carotid artery from RF based signal processing obtained from Esaote or Pie Medical ultrasound systems." These measurements are used to calculate the "Arterial Stiffness Indicator," which are all diagnostic indicators for assessing vascular health.

No

The device description explicitly states that the ART.LAB software operates in conjunction with an ultrasound system, a linear probe, a data acquisition card, and a connection cable. These are hardware components that are integral to the device's function as described. While the ART.LAB itself is software, the overall medical device system includes significant hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The ART.LAB software processes ultrasound signals obtained from an ultrasound system, which is a non-invasive imaging modality. It does not analyze blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample taken from the patient.
  • The intended use is for measurement of anatomical structures and physiological indicators. The software measures Intima Media Thickness, diameter, distension, and calculates the Arterial Stiffness Indicator based on these measurements and blood pressure. These are measurements of the physical characteristics and function of the carotid artery, not the analysis of a biological sample for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, ART.LAB falls under the category of a medical device that processes imaging data, not an IVD.

§ 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)
