Intended Use
The vRad™ PACS software is used with general purpose computing hardware, which meets or exceeds minimum specifications. vRad™ PACS software is intended to receive, transmit, store and display images for clinical purposes. The vRad™ PACS Viewer component is intended for installation on an off-the-shelf PC, meeting or exceeding minimum specifications and networked with vRad™ PACS Storage component. The vRad™ PACS Viewer is intended to serve as the primary user interface for the processing of medical images for presentation on displays appropriate to the medical task being performed. The vRad™ PACS Viewer can process medical images from DICOM modalities such as X-ray radiography, X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and images from other DICOM compliant modalities. The vRad™ PACS system should not be used for Mammography primary image diagnosis.
Device Description
vRad™ PACS is a device which consists solely of software and allows electronic transmission of radiological patient images from one location to another. The device has the capability to accept, transfer, display, store, and digitally process medical images to trained and qualified radiologists for the purposes of providing digital diaging The software provides functions for performing operations interpretation services. related to image manipulation, enhancement, compression, and quantification of medical images (except mammography images). The software enables the user to display 3D maximum intensity projection (MIP) and Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR) visualization of study images.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard PACS functionalities like image transmission, storage, display, and basic processing (manipulation, enhancement, compression, quantification, MIP/MPR). There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms or concepts.

No.
The device is described as software that receives, transmits, stores, and displays medical images for clinical purposes and interpretation by radiologists, and processes medical images. It does not provide any therapeutic function.

Yes

The device is intended to receive, transmit, store, and display images for clinical purposes. It enables processing of medical images from various modalities and provides functions for image manipulation and enhancement for interpretation by trained radiologists, which makes it a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that vRad™ PACS is a device which consists solely of software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: 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.
  • Device function: The vRad™ PACS software is described as a system for receiving, transmitting, storing, and displaying medical images (like X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.) for clinical purposes and interpretation by radiologists. It processes and manipulates these images.
  • Lack of biological sample analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples from the human body. Its input is medical images, not biological specimens.

Therefore, the vRad™ PACS software falls under the category of medical imaging software or a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Received: March 11, 2009

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 electronic 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 os 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 Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)(240) 276-0115
