No.
This device is a medical diagnosis software application. It is used to review and analyze medical images for diagnostic purposes, not for therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "FiatLux Visualize™ is a medical diagnosis software application".
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "medical diagnosis software application" and a "medical device software application" that is installed on a "suitable commercial computer platform." It processes existing medical images and does not include or require any specific hardware components beyond a standard computer and monitor.
Based on the provided information, FiatLux Visualize™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This is typically done in a laboratory setting.
- FiatLux Visualize™ function: The description clearly states that FiatLux Visualize™ is a software application that processes and visualizes DICOM images acquired from CT and MR devices. These are imaging modalities that capture images of the inside of the body directly, not by analyzing specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for reviewing and analyzing medical images for diagnosis, which is a different process than in vitro testing.
Therefore, FiatLux Visualize™ falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an IVD.

§ 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)

light conditions are consistent with the clinical applications. Mammographic and compressed images are not supported for viewing.
Substantially Equivalent Device Comparison
FiatLux Visualize™ and its substantially equivalent, commercially available devices allow for the media interchange and analysis of digital images acquired from CT and MR imaging devices. All devices support the DICOM protocol for reading images from the medical device data source.
Software
Software development for the FiatLux Visualize™ software follows documented processes for software design, verification and validation testing. A risk assessment has been completed to identify potential design hazards that could cause an error or injury based on the use of the quantification results. Appropriate steps have been taken to control all identified risks for this type of medical device.
Technological Characteristics
FiatLux Visualize™ is software that is used with computer hardware to read, render and analyze diagnostic medical images in a user environment. The device does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention, interprets images and information being displayed.
Conclusions
The FiatLux Visualize™ software has similar intended uses as the substantially equivalent devices and has very similar technological characteristics to those devices. Minor technological differences do not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness of the device. Thus, FiatLux Visualize™ is substantially equivalent to the commercially available devices.

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.

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 ed econic 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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliarry proge of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.
