The document describes a standard PACS system with various modules for image management, viewing, and workflow. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would typically involve such technologies for image analysis, diagnosis, or workflow optimization beyond basic automation.
No
The device is an image management system (PACS) designed for archiving, distributing, retrieving, and displaying medical images and data, and does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.
No
The BRIT PACS Systems is an image management system for archiving, distributing, retrieving, and displaying medical images and data. While it enables the display of images for interpretation (including specifically mentioning diagnostic reading workbenches like BRIT Vision and BRIT View), its primary function is not to perform a diagnosis itself, but rather to manage and present images and data for trained medical professionals to interpret and diagnose.
No
The device description includes hardware components like the BRIT SCAN film digitization system and the BRIT Roentgen Burner for producing CDs/DVDs, in addition to the software components.
Based on the provided information, the BRIT PACS Systems is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for managing, archiving, distributing, retrieving, and displaying medical images and data from various imaging modalities. It is used by trained medical professionals for viewing and interpreting these images.
- Device Description: The description details components for image management, viewing, archiving, and workflow. None of these functions involve testing samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample handling, or any other typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.
The BRIT PACS Systems is a medical device, specifically a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which falls under the category of medical imaging and information management. Its function is to handle and display images generated by other medical devices (like CT scanners, MRI machines, etc.), not to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BRIT PACS Systems is an image management system whose intended use is to provide (scaleable) DICOM compatible PACS solutions for hospital and related institutions/sites, which will archive/ distribute/ retrieve and display images and data from all hospital modalities (such as CR, CT, DR, MR, and other devices) and information systems. This also includes the display of structured reports and mammography images that have been created according to DICOM "For Presentation", and will include standard features and other Mammo tools. Lossy compressed mammography images and digitized film screen images must not be used for primary image interpretations. Mammography images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 mega pixel resolution and meets other technical specifications approved by the FDA.
Application areas include imaging centers, radiologist central reading rooms, and any other locations where trained medical professionals would require access or desire patient images, demographic information, or other patient medical information captured in the system.

Device Description
BRIT PACS Systems provides custom, turn-key solutions for PACS and teleradiology based systems on the latest DICOM standards. Using PACS, medical images can be made available at multiple locations - virtually anywhere at any time. Modular components make BRIT's solutions flexible, upgradeable, and scaleable.
BRIT SCAN is a high-quality film digitization system that allows standard radiographs to be converted into electronic images for transmission to PACS and teleradiolgy systems. BRIT Scan allows the users to integrate standard radiographic studies, which are often used for comparison studies, into the PACS strategy.
BRIT Quality Workbench is a DICOM based application that runs on a PC and is used to provide patient demographic and image data quality control functions within the PACS system.
BRIT Roentgen RIS provides a hospital or clinic with automated tools to electronically schedule and manage patient exam information. The Roentgen RIS utilizes a web based client that provides referring physicians the added flexibility to instantly view and schedule their own patients' radiographic services. The Roentgen RIS also accesses the same database as BRIT'S PACS solution.
BRIT Roentgen Files is the main product for exam and report storage in a PACS environment. It runs a DICOM Server and Web Server plus a selection of the following applications, all using the same database.
- DICOM Archive
- Modality Worklist Server
- HL-7 Interface Engine
- Order Entry/Scheduling package

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Murry:
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 (PMA). 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.
