Intended Use
dicomPACS® is a software system for the administration, archiving, improvement and compression of medical image data for diagnosis. The images are either acquired from imaging modalities via DICOM or imported directly. All images are archived in a database as DICOM compliant files. The data is displayed on a computer monitor for diagnosis. dicomPACS® also provides services for administering the data. 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 MP resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA. Functions to be carried out using dicomPACS® are, for example, but not limited to, adjustment of window leveling, rotation, zoom, and measurements. dicomPACS® is meant to be used by qualified medical personnel only. All users must be qualified to create and diagnose radiological image data.
Device Description
dicomPACS® is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), as are the two Predicate Devices HIPAX and eFilm. All of them have been developed to acquire, store, communicate, display and process medical images, for example X-ray, CR, CT, MRI, and ultrasound images etc. They offer features (e.g. window levelling, zoom, measurements, annotations etc.) routinely used by medical professionals, such as radiologists and orthopaedists, and required of all PACS solutions. dicomPACS® has a modular system architecture. It consists of the basic application dicomPACS-Viewer for image viewing and processing, the dicomControlCenter as application for image storage and communication and a number of other modules for database management, image acquisition, printing etc. dicomPACS® conforms to the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard. dicomPACS® is an autonomous software and involves no hardware.

No
The document describes a standard PACS system with image processing features like window leveling, zoom, and measurements. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance study summaries.

No
The device is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) software used for the administration, archiving, and display of medical images for diagnosis, not for providing therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is used for "administration, archiving, improvement and compression of medical image data for diagnosis" and that "The data is displayed on a computer monitor for diagnosis." Also, it mentions that users "must be qualified to create and diagnose radiological image data."

Yes

The device description explicitly states "dicomPACS® is an autonomous software and involves no hardware."

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, conditions, or infections.
  • dicomPACS® Function: The description clearly states that dicomPACS® is a software system for managing, archiving, displaying, and processing medical image data acquired from imaging modalities like X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. It works with images, not biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the administration, archiving, improvement, and compression of medical image data for diagnosis by qualified medical personnel. This is focused on interpreting visual information from imaging, not analyzing biological samples.

The text consistently describes a system for handling and viewing medical images, which falls under the category of medical imaging software or a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System), not an in vitro diagnostic device.
