The summary describes standard image processing and visualization tools for medical images, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation. The "semiautomatically determine contrasted lumen boundaries" feature is likely based on traditional image processing techniques, not AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a "medical diagnostic software system" and a "medical diagnostic device" intended to process, analyze, review, and distribute images for viewing anatomy and pathology. It aids clinicians in diagnosis but does not provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "VITALConnect, Version 4.1 is a medical diagnostic software system." Additionally, the "Device Description" section begins by stating, "The ViTALConnect system is a medical diagnostic device..."
Yes
The device description explicitly states "The ViTALConnect system is a medical diagnostic device that allows the processing, review, analysis, communication and media interchange of multi-dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices." and details software functionalities like image retrieval, display, manipulation, annotation, and output. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The VITALConnect system processes, analyzes, reviews, and distributes digital images acquired from various imaging devices (CT, MR, etc.). It aids clinicians in visualizing anatomy and pathology from these images.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not interact with or analyze biological samples from the patient. Its input is image data, not biological material.
Therefore, while it is a medical diagnostic device, it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
ViTALConnect, Version 4.1 is a medical diagnostic software system intended to process, analyze, review, and distribute multi-dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices including: CT, MR, CR/DR/DX, SC, US, NM, PET, XA, and RF, etc. VITALConnect is not meant for primary image interpretation in mammography. In addition, the ViTALConnect system has the following specific intended use:
Vessel Probe is intended for viewing the anatomy and pathology of a patient's coronary arteries. Clinicians select any artery to view the following anatomical references: the highted vessel in 3D, two rotate-able curved MPR vessel vlews displayed at angles orthogonal to each other, and cross sections of the vessel. Cross sectional measurements can be obtained using standard Vital Images software measuring tools. Clinicians can manually measure the lumen width to obtain percentage stenosis calculations, based on the ratio of the smallest to the largest diameter. In addition, clinicians can manually measure vessel length along the centerline in standard curved MPR views and examine Hounsfield Units statistics.
CT Coronary Artery Analysis is intended for viewing the anatomy and pathology of a patient's coronary arteries. Clinicians can select any coronary artery to view the following anatomical references: the highlighted vessel in 3D, two rotatable curved MPR vessel views displayed at 90 degree angles to each other, and cross sections of the vessel. The clinician can semiautomatically determine contrasted lumen boundaries, stenosis measurements, and maximum and minimum lumen diameters. In addition, clinicians can edit lumen boundaries and examine Houndsfield unit statistics.

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. Job:
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.
Image /page/3/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the logo. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in cursive. Three stars are below the word "Centennial". The text "U.S. Food & Drug Administration" is written around the edge of the circle.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
