Device Description
Visage PACS is a system to distribute, view, and process medical images and reports within and outside of health care environments. It consists of the following components:
- Visage PACS Storage
- -Visage PACS Web
- -Visage CS
Visage PACS Storage
A server receives image data in DICOM format via the hospital network. This provides universal connections to archives, modalities and workstations. The modalities that are supported by Visage PACS Storage are listed in the DICOM Conformance Statement.
Visage PACS Storage offers an archiving option for long-term storage of image data. Only the data consistency on archive media is quaranteed, the system provider has to take own appropriate means (e.g. redundancy) for safety against data loss caused by media destruction. Without the archiving option, the Visage PACS system features no components for long-term data archiving. Additional archiving on film or in digital form is therefore necessary.
Visage PACS Web
Data that are stored on the Visage PACS Storage server can be accessed simultaneously by multiple web-based viewing stations within a healthcare enterprise or from elsewhere outside through web clients.
The image data transfer is done in DICOM format via the Intranet or the Internet, for example to stations located in a doctor's office, throughout hospitals or a physician's home. Strong data encryption is provided (SSL) to ensure a secure data transfer. Images can be viewed directly within a web browser (Internet Explorer). The system offers simple functions for image manipulation and measurements. Reports can be viewed together with the images on one page.
Visage CS
Visage CS is a client server system that uses thin client technology for distribution of 3D image data generated from image data of state-of-the-art scanning modalities.
The thin client viewer allows to view and process 3D image data. No DICOM data is transferred to the client. It remains on the 3D Application Server at any time, ensuring safe and consistent access to large 3D data throughout the hospital enterprise. Instead of image data, a stream of compressed screen content information is transmitted during interaction.
If Visage CS is used in un-secure networks (e.g. WAN) third party VPN (Virtual Private Network) solutions have to be used to secure the data transfer between the Visage Server and the client machines.
Since version VISAGE PACS/CS 5.0 the presentation of the versions of the main components has been changed to the new form VISAGE PACS (version number)/CS (version number). This change only adheres to the brand name and does not involve any technical changes of the version. In case of VISAGE PACS/CS 5.0 the brand name changes into VISAGE PACS 5.0/CS 2.2. All new versions now contain the same format as the current version is VISAGE PACS 6.0/CS 3.1.

Although the web and thin client technologies allow the software to be run on a variety of hardware platforms, for diagnostic purposes the user must make sure that the display hardware used for reading the images complies with state-of-the-art diagnostic requirements and currently valid laws.
Only DICOM for presentation images can be used on an FDA approved monitor for mammography for primary image diagnosis.
Only uncompressed or non-lossy compressed images must be used for primary image diagnosis in mammography.
E.8 Safety and Effectiveness
E.8.1 General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns
VISAGE PACS/CS is a medical device that is to be used by trained health care professionals who are responsible for the correct and accurate use of medical images e.g. as a means for providing diagnosis.
The device labeling contains instructions for use and the intended use/indications for use. Warnings, faults etc are explained in the user's manual.
Data that are compressed are properly identified in the image information as being compressed as specified by the DICOM standard. This compression identification remains with the image for the entire life of the image. The correctness of the compression 30 party software is validated by the testing routine for 30 party components during the system/integration test.
E.8.2 Validation and Effectiveness
The VISAGE PACS 6.0/CS 3.1 risk analysis has been performed to identify all potential safety or health hazards during system operation. The hazards are controlled by a risk management plan, including hazard analysis, verification and validation tests (according to our software development process) and evaluations by hospitals.
According to our risk analysis and risk management there are no software components within the VISAGE PACS 6.0/CS 3.1 software, whose failure or latent design flaw would be expected to result in death or injury to a patient.
Requirement tracing covering specification, design, implementation and verification/validation ensures the fulfillment of all phase requirements, EHR and DMR ensures direct access to all documents.
Integration test plan defines full testing at integration and system testing level. According to this test plan integration and system testing including full testing of hazard mitigation has been performed.
Decision Reviews at the conclusion of each software development phase ensure the fulfillment of the phase results and the validity of the Intended Use and the risk analysis.
4
Testing is an integral part of our Software Design Process.
Visage Imaging has validated the software taken scanners from different manufacturers into consideration. Different models were chosen in order to achieve results independent from a specific vendor. For the validation of the software imaging data deriving from CT scanners of Siemens, Philips, and GE have been used. For the validation of the software regarding cardiac CTA imaging, data from Siemens and Philips have been used.
While different scanner models have been used for the validation the software it is intended to be used at a wider range. In order to ensure that the software can safely display and process imaging data from various vendor products only the standard DICOM data will be read out and used for further processing and display. Please refer to the attached DICOM conformity statement which provides evidence that the software is fully compatible with DICOM 3.0.
Any additional or proprietary imaging data provided by a specific manufacturer of CT scanners or any other data source will not be used by Visage PACS/CS for further processing and display.
E.9 Substantial Equivalence Comparison
Annotation:
Our Visage product line consists of 2D Web based PACS software and a separate 3D Visage Server and Thin Clients to give the end user a complete 2D/3D PACS experience.
The newly introduced key features of the device can be divided into 4 sections as there are features regarding cardiac analysis options, oncology options, neuro options and other key clinical functions.
The cardiac analysis options with its new automatic chest wall removal, manual rotation of valve plane for left ventricle, computation of myocardial mass and calcium scoring applications and protocols are substantially equivalent to the Aquarius Workstation.
The automatic SUV calculation and streamlined workflow for lesion analysis within the oncology options are also equivalent to such functions of the Aquarius Workstation
New features for the neuro section like the time-value curve in multi phase studies, brain perfusion analysis and region of interest mirroring are equivalent to the Aquarius Workstation too.
There are also equivalent functions in the Aquarius Workstation for the other key clinical functions like one-click save and load of work, interactive segmentation of anatomical structures or segmentation based on advanced interpolation, improved semi-automatic segmentation tools as well as reformatted DICOM output, time-value curve in multiphase studies, subtraction for multi phase images (CT and MR), stacked curved reformats, display of current cross section positions in CPR, semi-automatic tools for bone removal, measurement of cobb angle for multiple vertebrae, automatic dynamic protocols for viewing series side by side and multiphase studies as well as direct integration with RIS, selection and import of DICOM files and patient CDs from client computers (Cs viewer) and MPR and 3D visualization of 3D image series with gantry tilt.
E.9.1 Substantial Equivalence
Any differences between the VISAGE PACS 6.0/CS 3.1 software and the substantially equivalent device have no significant influence on safety and effectiveness.
5
