The summary describes image processing and visualization tools but does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The core function is based on user-defined processing and targeting based on a professional's selection.
No
The device is a software application designed to analyze medical images and assist in planning biopsy procedures, providing information for screening and diagnosis, rather than directly treating a condition.
Yes
This device is designed to analyze medical images to identify the location and depth for biopsy needle insertion, which is a key step in the diagnostic process for identifying lesions or regions of interest. While it states that patient management decisions should not be made solely on its results, it provides information useful in screening and diagnosis, and is used by medical professionals, including radiologists.
Yes
The device is described as "visualization software" and a "software application" that receives and processes medical images. While it interacts with hardware (imaging devices, displays), the core functionality and the device being regulated is the software itself. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components being part of the regulated device.
Based on the provided text, 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 or other conditions.
- Aegis's function: Aegis analyzes medical images (MRI, CT, US, etc.) of the breast. It does not perform tests on biological samples. Its purpose is to assist in planning biopsy or localization procedures based on image analysis.
Therefore, Aegis falls under the category of medical imaging software or a component of a PACS, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Aegis is a software application that is intended for use in analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) medical images as well as other multi-modality images. Its primary goal is to identify where and how deep a biopsy or localization needle should be inserted into an imaged breast in order to strike a targeted lesion or region of interest, as chosen by a trained medical professional. Aeris receives images and data from various sources (including but not linited to CT, MR, US, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways or imaging sources). Aegis can be used to communicate, process, and display medical images. Users have access to various image processing and measurement tools to assist them in viewing images. These user-defined post-processing functions include image subtractions, multiplanar reformats, maximum intensity projections, and segmenting of regions based on enhancement characteristics.
The digitized mammographic images and/or ultrasound images displayed by Aegis on the laptop display (or on any display not approved by the FDA for such purposes) must not be used for primary diagnostic interpretation.
Typical users of Aegis are trained medical professionals, including but not limited, to radiologists, technologists and clinicians. When interpreted by a skilled user, this device provides information that may be useful in screening and diagnosis. Patient management decisions shoulding be made solely on the results of Aegis analysis.

(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 Mr. Lehtonen:
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 Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may. 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 affecting 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.

Indication(s) For Use
Ko70244 510(k) Number:
Device Name: Aegis
Indications for Use:
Aegis is a software application intended for use in analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) medical images as well as other modality images.
Aegis includes software to support the use of interventional breast coils and MR fiducial localization devices to perform MR-guided breast interventional procedures (BRIGHT"). Its primary goal is to identify where and how deep a biopsy or localization needle should be inserted into an imaged breast in order to strike a targeted lesion or region of interest, as chosen by a trained medical professional.
Aegis receives images and data from various sources (including CT, MR, US, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways and imaging sources). Aegis can be used to commonicate, process, and display medical images. Users have access to various image processing and measurement tools to assist them in wiewing images. These user-defined post-processing functions include image subtractions, multiplanar reformats, maximum intensity projections, and segmenting of regions based on enhancement characteristics.
Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mamnographic images may only be interpreted using a FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MPixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by the FDA.
Typical users of Aegis are trained medical professionals, including radiologists, technologists and clinicians. When interpreted by a skilled user, this device provides information that may be useful in screening and diagnosis. Patient management decisions should not be made solely of the results of Aegis analysis.
