Intended Use
EZPACS® is intended for use by radiologists (for primary diagnosis), and other medical professionals who needs access to radiological images and reports. Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 Mpixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.
Device Description
EZPACS® is a PACS system that runs on off-the-shelf monitors and PCs running the Microsoft Windows® operating system. It consists of software that displays images and provides functions for image manipulation, enhancement, compression and quantification.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard PACS functionalities like image display, manipulation, enhancement, compression, and quantification, without mentioning any AI/ML-specific features.

No
The device is a PACS system intended for displaying and manipulating radiological images for diagnosis, not for providing therapy.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for use by radiologists for "primary diagnosis," indicating its role in identifying diseases or conditions from medical images.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that EZPACS® "consists of software that displays images and provides functions for image manipulation, enhancement, compression and quantification" and runs on "off-the-shelf monitors and PCs running the Microsoft Windows® operating system." This indicates the device itself is the software, relying on commercially available hardware for operation.

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.
  • EZPACS® function: EZPACS® is a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) system. Its primary function is to display, manipulate, and manage medical images (specifically radiological images). It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for accessing and reviewing radiological images and reports for diagnosis. This is related to medical imaging, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, EZPACS® falls under the category of medical imaging software/systems, 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).
