Intended Use
DC Neuro is an image processing software package designed to run on standard PC hardware (workstation). The required workstation hardware consists of standard, "off-the-shelf" computer components. DC Neuro software receives image data from medical imaging devices such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems or from image archives, PACS. DC Neuro can be used to perform image viewing, image manipulation, image quantification, communication, and printing. DC Neuro provides both analysis and viewing capabilities which integrate both anatomical and physiologic/functional imaging data sets, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion, fiber tracking, dynamic analysis, and vessel analysis in both 2D and/or 3D views. BOLD fMRI: The BOLD analysis is useful in quantifying small susceptibility changes in the human brain, created by the execution of a specific task. Diffusion/Fiber tracking: The diffusion of water molecules through brain tissue can be measured with diffusion-weighted MRI scanning. Actual diffusion properties depend on the local tissue. With fiber tracking, the directional dependency can be used to visualize the white matter structure in the brain. Dynamic Analysis: Dynamic analysis is intended for visualization and analysis of MR dynamic studies, showing changes in contrast over time, where such techniques are useful or necessary. Vessel Analysis: Allows the visualization of vascular morphology from MR images. 3D Visualization: 3D rendering allows the visualization of bone, vascular structures, and selected anatomy as three dimensional object surfaces projected on a flat screen.
Device Description
DC Neuro is a software package available for viewing, printing, storing, transferring, and quantifying DICOM magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. The DC Neuro software is able to run on "off the shelf" standard PC components using the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating Software. DC Neuro provides both analysis and viewing capabilities that integrate both anatomical and physiologic/functional imaging data sets, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion, fiber tracking, dynamic analysis, and vessel analysis in both 2D and/or 3D views. DC Neuro software provides automated processing of DICOM images. Imaging cxams are transferred to the DC Neuro system in DICOM format either directly from the MR system or from a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) or via supported digital media. The DC Neuro system reads the incoming image headers and automatically sorts the images into exams consisting of multiple data sets. Pre-set processing algorithms may be performed on the incoming data as defined by the user such as image co-registration, fMRI analysis, diffusion analysis, dynamic analysis, vessel analysis, and 3D displays. DC Neuro is a software package that uses standard PC hardware, with a standard uscr/operator interface (keyboard and mouse), and a standard Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard image processing and analysis techniques (BOLD fMRI, diffusion, fiber tracking, dynamic analysis, vessel analysis, 3D visualization) and mentions "Pre-set processing algorithms," but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms.

No
The device is described as image processing software for viewing, manipulating, and quantifying medical images, not for providing therapy.

Yes

Explanation: DC Neuro performs image viewing, manipulation, quantification, and analysis of medical imaging data (MRI), including fMRI, diffusion, fiber tracking, dynamic analysis, and vessel analysis. These functions are used to quantify changes, visualize structures, and analyze patient data, which directly supports diagnosis.

Yes

The device is described as a "software package" that runs on "standard PC hardware" and "off-the-shelf computer components." It receives image data and performs processing and viewing functions. There is no indication that the device includes or requires any specialized or proprietary hardware components beyond a standard computer.

Based on the provided text, this device is NOT an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of DC Neuro clearly states it processes image data from medical imaging devices (MRI) and image archives (PACS). It analyzes images of the human body, not biological samples taken from the body.
  • The intended use and device description focus on image processing, analysis, and visualization. This is characteristic of medical imaging software, not IVDs.
  • The examples of analysis (BOLD fMRI, diffusion, fiber tracking, dynamic analysis, vessel analysis) are all based on interpreting imaging data. They are not tests performed on biological specimens.

Therefore, DC Neuro falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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 (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.
