Intended Use
The sterEOS Workstation is intended for use in the fields of musculoskeletal radiology and orthopedics in both pediatric and adult populations as a general PACS device for acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of 2D x-ray images of the musculoskeletal system including interactive 2D measurement tools. When using 2D X-ray images obtained with the Biospace EOS System (K071546), the sterEOS Workstation provides interactive 3D measurement tools to aid in the analysis of scollosis and related disorders and deformities of the spine in adult patients as well as pediatric patients 16 vears and older. The 3D measurement tools include interactive analysis based on a model of bone structures derived from an a priori image data set from 175 patients (91 normal patients, 47 patients with moderate idiopathic scoliosis and 37 patients with severe idiopathic scoliosis), and dry isolated vertebrae data. The model of bone structures is not intended for use in patients with a Cobb's angle > 50 degrees and is not intended for use to assess individual vertebral abnormalities

More Information

Yes
The device uses a model of bone structures derived from an a priori image data set to provide interactive 3D measurement tools. This process of deriving a model from data for analysis is indicative of machine learning techniques, even if not explicitly labeled as AI/ML.

No
This device is for analysis and measurement of images, not for therapy.

Yes.
The device provides "interactive 3D measurement tools to aid in the analysis of scoliosis and related disorders and deformities of the spine," which directly supports diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a "Workstation," which typically implies a hardware component (computer) running the software. While the primary function is software-based image processing and analysis, the description doesn't explicitly state it is only software and excludes the hardware.

Based on the provided information, the sterEOS Workstation is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The sterEOS Workstation processes and analyzes medical images (2D x-rays), not biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state its function is related to image processing, display, storage, and measurement of musculoskeletal structures from x-ray images. This aligns with the definition of a medical imaging device or software, not an IVD.

Therefore, the sterEOS Workstation falls under the category of medical imaging software or a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with advanced measurement capabilities, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

§ 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)

When used with 2D X-ray images obtained with the Biospace EOS System (K071546), the sterEOS Workstation provides interactive 3D measurement tools to aid in the analysis of scoliosis and related disorders and deformities of the spine.

Indications for Use:

The sterEOS Workstation is intended for use in the fields of musculoskeletal radiology and orthonedics in both pediatic and adult populations as a general PACS device for acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of 2D x-ray images of the musculoskeletal system including interactive 2D measurement tools.

When using 2D X-ray images obtained with the Biospace EOS System (K071546), the sterEOS Workstation provides interactive 3D measurement tools to aid in the analysis of scollosis and related disorders and deformities of the spine in adult patients as well as pediatric patients 16 vears and older.

The model of bone structures is not intended for use in patients with a Cobb's angle > 50 degrees and is not intended for use to assess individual vertebral abnormalities

Technological Characteristics:

The sterEOS Workstation supports DICOM 3.0 formatted images. The Workstation is based on the Windows XP operating system and runs on off-the-shelf hardware. The sterEOS Workstation user interface follows typical clinical workflow patterns to process, review, and analyze digital images.

Performance Data:

A comparative study was conducted in a clinical setting to demonstrate accuracy of clinical parameters calculated in the 3D space. The results of this study validate the 3D reconstruction software and demonstrate the equivalent performance of the device.

Substantial Equivalence:

The sterEOS Workstation, when used as a general picture archiving and communications storage system, including the interactive 2D measurement tools, and when used with 2D X-ray images obtained with the Biospace EOS System (K071546), is as safe and effective as the Siemens Syngo Multimodality Workstation and the Agfa Orthopedic Software for Impax Workstation. The sterEOS Workstation, when used as a general PACS and with the 3D measurement tools available for use with the 2D X-ray images from the EOS System, has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the sterEOS Workstation and its predicate devices raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the sterEOS Workstation is substantially equivalent.

Dear Dr. Smith:

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/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a circular logo with the letters "FDA" in the center. Above the letters, the years "1906-2006" are printed. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in cursive. Three stars are below the word "Centennial". The logo is surrounded by a circular border with text and star shapes.
