Intended Use
The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 is a software-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) used with general purpose computing hardware for the display and 3D visualization of medical image data. It provides for communication, storage, reformatting, rendering, and display of DICOM 3.0 compliant image data derived from various sources including CT and MRI. The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 device incorporates a Calcium Scoring module which is used to identify and quantify calcified plaque within the coronary arteries. This protocol is performed on noncontrast enhanced cardiac CT data sets. It also includes the Coronary Artery Analysis protocol which is used to visually identify and measure stenoses in the coronary arteries. This protocol is performed on contrast-enhanced cardiac CTA data sets. The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 software is intended for use as a diagnostic, review, and analysis tool by trained professionals such as physicians, technologists, and nurses. When interpreted by a trained physician, reviewed images may be used as an element for diagnosis. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the software is installed on appropriate hardware and that image quality is suitable for the clinical application. Calgary Scientific recommends that users of the ResolutionMD™ 2.1 software consult the appropriate American College of Radiology Practice Guidelines pertaining to the anatomy and pathology being studied. Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 Mpixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.
Device Description
The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 is a software based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) used with general purpose computing hardware for the display and 3D visualization of medical image data. It provides for communication, storage, processing, rendering, and display of DICOM 3.0 compliant image data derived from various sources including CT and MRI. The ResolutionMD™ software takes advantage of dedicated graphics hardware to speed the creation 3D rendered images. The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 is available in a Microsoft Windows version, a Microsoft .NET software development kit version (SDK), a Linux Web server version and in a Macintosh OS version. All versions offer similar functionality. Available functions include DICOM communication, display of 2D images in original planes, computation and display of rendered 3D images and maximal intensity projection (MIP) and multiplanar reconstruction images (MIP/MPR), 2D and 3D image measurements, calcium scoring, and coronary artery analysis. The user controls these functions with a system of interactive menus and tools.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard PACS functionality, 3D visualization, and specific modules for calcium scoring and coronary artery analysis. While these involve image processing and analysis, there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms or concepts in the provided text. The description focuses on traditional image processing techniques and user-controlled functions.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic, review, and analysis tool used by trained professionals to interpret medical images for diagnosis, and for the identification and quantification of calcified plaque and stenoses. It does not provide treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The ResolutionMD™ 2.1 software is intended for use as a diagnostic, review, and analysis tool by trained professionals such as physicians, technologists, and nurses. When interpreted by a trained physician, reviewed images may be used as an element for diagnosis." Additionally, it includes modules for "Calcium Scoring" and "Coronary Artery Analysis," which are diagnostic procedures.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as "software-based" and "software based" throughout the summary, and it is intended to be used with "general purpose computing hardware." While it mentions utilizing "dedicated graphics hardware," this hardware is not part of the device itself but rather a component of the general-purpose computing system it runs on. The focus of the submission is clearly on the software's functionality for image processing, visualization, and analysis.

Based on the provided text, the ResolutionMD™ 2.1 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • ResolutionMD™ 2.1 Functionality: The description clearly states that ResolutionMD™ 2.1 is a software-based PACS used for the display and 3D visualization of medical image data (CT and MRI). It processes and displays images, performs measurements, and includes modules for calcium scoring and coronary artery analysis based on these images.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no indication that this device analyzes any biological samples from the patient. Its input is medical image data.

Therefore, ResolutionMD™ 2.1 falls under the category of medical imaging software and not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Lemire:

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.
