This submission package for StatPacs™ refers to a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) software. A PACS is a system that allows for the storage, retrieval, distribution, and presentation of medical images. These systems are well-established, and the regulatory filing here is for a new version or offering of such a system. The key to understanding this document is recognizing that the primary claim is for substantial equivalence to existing PACS devices. This means the manufacturer is arguing that their device is so similar to previously cleared devices (predicates) that it doesn't raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" information you're asking for in the context of an AI-powered device or a study proving device performance in a clinical diagnostic sense, is not present here. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the StatPacs™ system behaves like other PACS systems already on the market. There is no mention of AI, specific diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity, or clinical studies designed to show a performance benefit.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance & 6. Standalone Algorithm Performance:
This submission does not contain specific "acceptance criteria" or reported "device performance" in the sense of diagnostic accuracy or clinical utility metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) for an AI algorithm. The device, StatPacs™, is a PACS software, and its claimed performance is its ability to function as a PACS system, similar to its predicate devices. The acceptance criteria for such a device are typically related to:
- Functionality: Transmit, receive, display, and store 2D/3D images.
- Connectivity: Interface with various modalities (CT, MRI, US, CR, DR, NM, PET, digitized films) via industry standards (DICOM, LAN/WAN, VPNs).
- Image Handling: Image compression and encryption adhering to standard industry protocols.
- Safety & Effectiveness: No new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate devices.
The "reported device performance" is essentially that it meets these functional requirements and is substantially equivalent to predicate PACS systems. There is no standalone (algorithm-only) performance study described because it's a PACS system, not a diagnostic AI algorithm.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
Not applicable. This 510(k) submission does not describe a clinical study with a test set of patient cases to evaluate diagnostic performance. The substantial equivalence argument relies on comparing the technical and functional characteristics of StatPacs™ to predicate PACS devices.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
Not applicable. As no clinical diagnostic performance study is described, there's no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a test set.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. No test set or corresponding adjudication method is described.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No MRMC study was done or reported in this document. The submission is for a PACS system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically undergo such a study to assess human reader improvement.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
Not applicable. No ground truth is established or used in the context of diagnostic performance for this submission, as it's a PACS system.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. As this is not an AI diagnostic algorithm, there is no mention of a training set of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable. Since there is no training set mentioned, there is no information on how ground truth for it would be established.
Summary regarding the nature of the submission:
This 510(k) summary is for a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). It emphasizes software-based functionality for image handling (transmit, receive, display, store) and connectivity with various medical imaging modalities. The core of the submission is the claim of substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed PACS devices (predicates). This means the StatPacs™ system behaves in a functionally similar manner to already approved PACS, rather than introducing new diagnostic capabilities that would require a detailed clinical performance study with acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth, and AI-specific evaluations. The FDA's letter confirms substantial equivalence based on the provided information, not on a clinical performance study demonstrating unique diagnostic accuracy.

Technical Characteristics:
This is a medical imaging software device that is used with OTS computer hardware in a picture archiving and communications system user environment. The device does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. The technical characteristics are similar in design, technical requirements and intended use to predicate devices.
Substantial Equivalence Summary
The StatPacs™ is substantially equivalent in design, technical requirements, and intended use to diagnostic radiological workstations, PACS and image management systems as substantiated in the feature comparison. The predicate device comparison clearly demonstrates that StatPacs™ is substantially equivalent in all areas such as functionality, user/software features, OTS hardware components and connectivity.
Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in this premarket notification submission, StatPacs™ is substantially equivalent to predicate devices and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from its predicate devices.
