Intended Use
The IMT.LAB software is a Windows 2000/XP software application package to be used on a personal computer for the automatic measurement of the intima media thickness of the carotid artery from video images obtained from Esaote ultrasound systems.
Device Description
The IMT LAB software is a Windows 2000/XP software application package that runs on a stand-alone personal computer. Video images from the carotid artery made with a standard ultrasound system can be used as input for the IMT.LAB software package. These images can be transferred digitally by means of a DICOM, BMP, or JPEG files from the ultrasound system to the IMT.LAB software. IMT.LAB uses proprietary techniques and algorithms to measure the Intima Media Thickness (IMT) from the far wall of the carotid artery. This information is used in addition to other medical data by a physician to help assess the cardiovascular health of a patient. IMT.LAB can store the images and the measurement results on the hard disk for future reference.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions "proprietary techniques and algorithms" for image processing and measurement, but there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts. The focus is on automatic measurement using established image processing methods.

No
The device is described as a software application that measures intima media thickness from ultrasound images to help physicians assess cardiovascular health. It is an analytical tool, not a device that applies therapy or interventions.

Yes
The device is used to measure the intima media thickness of the carotid artery, and this information is used by a physician to help assess the cardiovascular health of a patient. This assessment of health indicates a diagnostic purpose.

Yes

The device is described as a "software application package" that runs on a "stand-alone personal computer" and processes images transferred digitally. It does not include any hardware components.

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.
  • Device Function: The IMT.LAB software processes video images obtained from an ultrasound system. It measures the intima media thickness of the carotid artery directly from these images. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Input: The input is image data (DICOM, BMP, JPEG files), not biological specimens.

Therefore, the IMT.LAB software falls under the category of medical image processing software, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Graham:

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 Cost retic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You maxi. 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 affective 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.

Image /page/4/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo with the letters "FDA" in the center. Above the letters, the numbers "1906-2006" are displayed. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in cursive. Three dots are arranged in a horizontal line at the bottom of the logo.
