The summary describes standard medical image processing and visualization tools, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or automated detection/analysis beyond basic measurements and segmentation.
No
The device is described as a software tool for displaying, processing, reviewing, and analyzing medical image data to aid in diagnosis, not for providing therapy or treatment.
Yes
The device is described as aiding clinicians in their "analysis of anatomy and pathology" and enabling "detection and evaluation" of abnormalities, including specific mention of "screening of patients for colonic polyps, tumors and other lesions," which are all diagnostic activities.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "The 3Dnet Suite is a software device". The entire description focuses on the software's functionalities for processing, reviewing, and analyzing digital images. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components being part of the 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.
- Device Function: The 3Dnet Suite processes and visualizes medical images (CT, MRI, Ultrasound) acquired from imaging devices. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for physicians to display and analyze medical image data for diagnostic purposes, but this analysis is based on the visual interpretation of images, not the results of tests performed on biological specimens.
- Device Description: The description focuses on image processing, visualization, and analysis of scanned images, not on the analysis of biological samples.
The device is a medical image processing and visualization software intended to aid physicians in interpreting medical images for diagnosis. This falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Device Description
The 3Dnet Suite is a software device for evaluating scanned images of selected human organ. The basic visualization module of 3Dnet Suite is Examiner.
The Examiner allows the processing, review, analysis, communication and media interchange of multi dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices.
It provides multi-dimensional visualization of digital images to aid clinicians in their analysis of anatomy and pathology. The 3Dnet user interface follows typical clinical workflow patterns to process, review and analyze digital images including:
- Retrieve image data over the network via DICOM
- Select images for closer examination from a gallery of 2D and 3D views
- -Interactively manipulate an image in real time to visualize anatomy and pathology
- Annotate, tag, measure and record selected views
- Output selected views to DICOM and JPEG files or expert views to another DICOM device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Scanned image datasets of various patient organs with known abnormalities or status used as input for testing of software functionalities in accordance with a test protocol. The application provided interactive orthogonal and multiplanar reformatted 2D and 3D image from datasets to detect and evaluate the known abnormalities or status of organs. The volume, linear and angular measurements features, provided in the software, were used to evaluate and quantify any abnormality of organs or status of any internal organ structures.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical tests were performed.
Testing of phantom datasets has determined its level of accuracy, which correlates perfectly with pre-calculated values. The product has shown itself to be reliable, easy to use and capable of evaluating DICOM compliant scanned images of any human organs.
Tests and validations using Patients Image Data in our installations in Europe and non-clinical tests performed in-house demonstrated that the 3Dnet Suite is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in its ability to review, and evaluate DICOM scan images of various organs to facilitate analysis and evaluation of abnormality or malformation in organs by a trained user. The DICOM functionality with regards to DICOM SOP classes as stated in the DICOM conformance statement was validated with a number of other DICOM compliant applications and DICOM validation tools as part of the development and testing process.

(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)

We conclude that the subject device, the 3Dnet Suite, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices and poses no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
7. Discussion of non-clinical tests performed for the determination of substantial equivalence are as follows:
Scanned image datasets of various patient organs with known abnormalities or status used as input for testing of software functionalities in accordance with a test protocol. The application provided interactive orthogonal and multiplanar reformatted 2D and 3D image from datasets to detect and evaluate the known abnormalities or status of organs. The volume, linear and angular measurements features, provided in the software, were used to evaluate and quantify any abnormality of organs or status of any internal organ structures. The 3Dnet Suite has been developed in a manner consistent with accepted standards for software development, including both unit and system integration testing protocols. Testing of phantom datasets has determined its level of accuracy, which correlates perfectly with pre-calculated values. The product has shown itself to be reliable, easy to use and capable of evaluating DICOM compliant scanned images of any human organs. We conclude from these tests that 3Dnet Suite is substantially equivalent to the predicated devices in its ability to evaluate any human organs.
