The document describes a standard PACS system for image storage, retrieval, and viewing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced analytical capabilities beyond basic image processing and display manipulation.
No
The device is described as a system for storing, viewing, processing, and distributing medical images for diagnostic and analysis purposes, not for treating any medical condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the RAYPAX System clients are "intended for diagnostic and analysis tool by trained healthcare professionals, including radiologists, physicians, technologists, clinicians and nurses." It further specifies that "DW(Diagnostic Workstation) and RW(Review Workstation) is intended for radiologists to perform a diagnostic analysis of the exams."
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a PACS server, Gateways, and Clients, which are hardware components in addition to the software.
Based on the provided text, the RAYPAX System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- RAYPAX System Function: The RAYPAX System is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Its primary function is to store, manage, display, and distribute medical images acquired from various imaging modalities (CT, MR, X-ray, etc.). It facilitates the diagnostic review and analysis of these images by healthcare professionals.
- No Sample Testing: The description of the RAYPAX System does not mention any functionality related to testing biological samples. It deals solely with digital medical images.
Therefore, the RAYPAX System falls under the category of medical imaging software or a PACS, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The RAYPAX System is a complete PACS package to receive medical images from medical modalities, and distribute medical images and reports to enable medical staff to verify, diagnosis, and refer them in multi medical facilities. It consists of RAYPAX PACS server, Getaways and Clients.
RAYPAX PACS Server
RAYPAX PACS server stores the images and information obtained from the medical equipments and other systems, and provides a connection for RAYPAX client to access the information depending on their previledge level. Remote access through the Internet is allowed, and to ensure a secure data transfer, strong data encryption(SSL) is provided. All DICOM images acquired in the RAYPAX System are stored unaltered and all display manipulations and annotations are stored as presentation parameters and they do not alter the original image file.
RAYPAX Gateways
RAYPAX Gateways communicate with medical modalities and other systems to receive and share image data, patient demographics, order schedule and study results. DICOM Gateway gathers medical exams from modalities and other system in DICOM format. Remote exams are gathered by Net Point or Lite locally and sent to PACS server through the internet. HL7 Gateway exchanges the patient and order information, study results with other information system in HL7 standard.
RAYPAX Clients
The clients of RAYPAX System are intended for diagnostic and analysis by trained healthcare professionals, including radiologists, physicians, technologists, clinicians and nurses. RAYPAX Clients connect the PACS server and enables medical staff to view medical data and assign special tasks in the PACS workflow.
OCW is a verification tool for a technician to reconstruct, verify exams. DW (Diagnostic Workstation) and RW (Review Workstation) are for the radiologist to perform diagnostic analysis of the exams. TW (Transcription Workstation) is a tool for the trancriptionist to create a preliminary report. WCC (Web Client Component) is a radiology referring tool for a physican to refer exam and report viewing at remote site. Net, Exp and Web versions of RAYPAX clients are intended to offer a remote access to the images through the Internet.
For PACS administrators, Admin provides with user management, server parameter setting, and Net Monitor provides the status of the PACS system and the performance of the medical organization.

1.5 Intended Use (807.92(a)(5))
510(k) Number (if known): Device Name: RAYPAX System
The RAYPAX System is intended for the storage, reading, diagnostic review, analysis, annotation, distribution, printing, editing, and processing of digital images acquired from devices such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), Computed Radiography (CR), Digital X-Ray (DX), Digital Mammography (MG), Ultrasound (US), Nuclear Medicine (NM), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), X-Ray Angiography (XA), Film Scanners, and any other DICOM supporting devices.

Net Point and Lite are intended to acquire exams from local modalities and send the exams to the PACS server through the Internet. Net, Exp and Web versions of RAYPAX clients are intended to offer a remote access to the images through the Internet.
For the digital mammography images, to be viewed for primary interpretation, images must be acquired from an FDA approved Mammography device for primary interpretation and viewed on a display system with at least 5 Mega Pixel of resolution and has been cleared by the FDA for diagnosis of digital mammography images. Furthermore, the Mammography device must be able to provide, to the RAYPAX System, a viewable DICOM 'for presentation' mammography image. Images that are printed to film must be printed using a FDA approved printer for the diagnosis of digital mammography images.
1.6 Technological Characteristics (807.92(a)(6))
RAYPAX System is a standalone software package based on standard Microsoft technology, general purpose software and hardware platform. As a development tools, industry standard programming languages (C#, C++, and ASP) and the Microsoft Visual Studio are used. To create remote applications, web protocols and Microsoft Dot NET framework are used.
RAYPAX System is a DICOM 3.0 compliant system to receive images from medical device, and supports HL7 (Health Level Seven) to communicate with other information system. The system only uses IP address on LAN (Local Area Network) environment to communicate with medical device, and it has no contact with patient, nor does it control any life sustaining device.
All display manipulations and annotations in RAYPAX clients are stored as presentation parameters not to alter the original image file, so all DICOM images acquired in the RAYPAX System are stored and unaltered.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion (807.92(b)(1)) 1.7
The predicative device and the RAYPAX System present similar indication for use statements. The Centricity PACS and RAYPAX System are Picture Archiving and Communication System. They are used to manage medical images and data, images are acquired from devices through the DICOM standard, and both systems are used by trained healthcare professionals for diagnosis.
Both the predicative device and the RAYPAX system employs a database, an image storage, HL-7 interfacing and DICOM services. Images are acquired into the system from DICOM supporting devices. So, the predicative device and the RAYPAX System have no contact with the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining device. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being printed.
The RAYPAX System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices. Any differences between the RA YPAX system and the substantially equivalent system have no significant influence on safety and effectiveness.
1.8 Conclusion 807.92(b)(3)
We believe that The 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for RAYPAX System contains adequate information and data to enable FDA - CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device. RAYPAX System has been and will be manufactured in accordance with the mandatory and voluntary standards listed in this submission. The submission contains the result of the hazard analysis that there is no software component in the RA YPAX System that we know of whose failure or design flaw would result in death of injury to a patient, and the "Level of Concern" of the RAYPAX System is "minor".
