The summary describes standard PACS functionalities and image processing without mentioning AI, ML, or related concepts. The performance studies section only mentions software verification and validation, not AI/ML model training or testing.
No
This device is a software program that processes and displays spinal X-ray images and aids physicians in calculations and reporting, but it does not directly treat or alleviate a medical condition.
Yes
The device is described as an aid in the calculation of alteration of motion segment integrity (AOMSI) and generates reports on measurements, which are functions associated with aiding in the diagnosis of a medical condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "software computer program installed on regular computers" and describes its functionality solely in terms of software operations (acceptance, display, processing, review, editing, measurements, report generation, storage, teleradiology exchange). There is no mention of any hardware components being part of the device itself.
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 Spinal Guides PACS device processes and displays medical images (spinal X-rays) and patient information. It aids physicians in viewing and analyzing these images for diagnostic purposes related to the spine.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its input is image data, not biological material.
Therefore, the function and intended use of the Spinal Guides PACS device clearly fall outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics. It is a medical image processing and viewing system.

Device Description
The device is represented by a software computer program installed on regular computers. The device has two types of users: a web and a local user. The web user submits an image set for processing to the local user via internet to the device's database. The local user is viewing the images of the image set, process the image set and sends a PDF report with calculations for the web user.
Workflow details: Working image is transferred to the device database by a web user. An operator (a local user) then uses a workstation to analyze AOMSI and generate a PDF, which is then available for viewing on the web for the web user. The local user/operator/server is installed at only one core location and X-ray images from different users are sent to the location for analyses. The device is primarily intended for viewing digital spinal X-ray images and to prepare analyses of alteration of motion segment integrity (AOMSI).
Automated part of the reporting process:
- Automatic limitation of points placed respective to the number of vertebras
- Automation of 4th point positioning.
- Automatic mathematical calculations
- Automatic notice to calibrate an image upon placement of first point on an image in image editor window
- Automation of notification of an improper order of points
- Automatic user password retrieval
- Automatic submission of PDF report via e-mail to the web user
What is needed to perform the analysis:
- The analyses are to be performed only by a licensed medical practitioner who is knowledgeable of specific spinal anatomy and specific protocols for image analysis
- Medical Device Spinal Guides PACS
- Spinal pure lateral X-ray views in flexion and extension taken with the calibrator in place
- Computer hardware
- Internet with enough available speed
Processing: For all square vertebras the first point (I) is placed on the superior anterior external line angle of the vertebral body. For all square vertebras the second point (II) is placed on the superior posterior external line angle of the vertebral body. For all square vertebras the third point (III) is placed on the inferior posterior external line angle of the vertebral body. For all square vertebras the forth point is computer generated. The 4th point (IV) is placed to the location to make the inferior side of the figure equal and parallel to the same of the upper.
For the vertebra without vertebral body (C1) the point locations are as follows:
- The first point is placed on the Superior Anterior External Line Angle formed by dens of C2 and the most proximal point to it on C1
- The second point is placed on the Superior Posterior Internal Line Angle formed by radiographic laminar-pedicle junction of C1 and the superior border of C1 at the end point of that junction
- The third point is placed on the Inferior Posterior Internal Line Angle formed radiographically by laminar-pedicle junction of C1 and the inferior border of C1 at the very end point of that junction.
- The forth point is computer generated, as described above
For triangular vertebra (C2):
4. The first point is placed on the Inferior Anterior External Line Angle of the vertebral body.
5. The second point is placed on the Inferior Posterior External Line Angle of the vertebral body.
6. The third point is placed on the next Superior Posterior External Line Angle formed between transverse processus of C2 and the dens of C2 vertebrae
7. The forth point is computer generated
Measuring: Before placement of points the local user has to calibrate the image. Once we have placed the points we can relate them to each other by calculating degrees of their planes. After the points are placed and proper geometrical figures are created the device will measure relative metric discrepancies. The device measures relative angulation as well as specific metric relationship of shifts in millimeters and in percentages relative specific points. Then, the data is compared with known norms and abnormalities respective to the specific points and spinal parts.
The device does not read pathologies. It is an AOMSI (alteration of motion segment integrity) specific.
Quality control functionality:
- If the order of the points placed are not followed the above protocol (not as 1, 2, 3, but 1, 3, 2) the 4th point will be placed away from the field of the column by the computer making the operator aware of the error made.
- The error figure will be seen by the local user immediately during processing.
- No points can be placed on an image without prior calibration
- X-ray images have to be taken with the calibrator, a small quadrangular metal plate with known dimensions. The calibrator will be affixed on the patient's skin in the designated area with the help of special, made out of paper, holder. The holder will position the metal plate vertically. The plate will be shown on an image as a quadrangle. A local user (operator) will be adjusting the image's size according to the calibrator's image and its known dimensions. The image set will be reviewed for quality before the processing can be done. If images sent are not in the appropriate quality, the image set will be rejected by the local user. The web user will see the specific image set rejected and why and will consider for a resubmission a better quality image.
- Buttons: 1) "Undo"- returns to the previous state, 2) "Zoom In"- increases the image in size, 3) "Zoom Out"- decreases the image in size, 4) "Reset to Original"- returns the image to the original size, 5) "Trace Image" guides the operator through the processing of the image, 6) "Test Points" retrieves the points from the database on the processed image from the database.

Once the third point is placed, the fourth one is generated by a computer.
The fourth point is placed to complete a proper quadrangle to form square, parallelogram or rhombus.
The fourth point is placed by a computer to make the lower side equal and
parallel to the upper side and the opposing internal line angles equal to each other.
Measuring
Before placement of points the local user has to calibrate the image.
Once we have placed the points we can relate them to each other by
calculating degrees of their planes.
After the points are placed and proper geometrical figures are created the
device will measure relative metric discrepancies.
The device measures relative angulation as well as specific metric relationship of shifts in millimeters and in percentages relative specific points.
Then, the data is compared with known norms and abnormalities respective to the specific points and spinal parts.
Significance of the study
In order to treat the patient better, estimate prognosis of the patient's condition and quantify the patient's impairment due to damages to the spine the AMA published certain criteria by which a doctor has to formulate a diagnosis

and treatment plan, as well as quantify the patient's permanent impairment rating. The last edition, the 6th Edition of AMA published in 2008 specific limitations in norm and abnormalities for spinal evaluations of alteration of motion segment integrity calculations.
Using computerized technology installed within the device a doctor can spend almost no time in completion of otherwise lengthy mathematical calculations and get precise diagnostic report ready to apply for the best patient's care.
Once specific measurements of relationship of one vertebra to another are obtained, they are compared to norms and abnormalities.
The patient will be treated better and treatments will get better outcomes.
The individual and third party payers will save money when treatments are not indicated.
The device does not read pathologies. It is an AOMSI (alteration of motion segment integrity) specific.
Quality control functionality
If the order of the points placed are not followed the above protocol (not as 1, 2, 1. 3, but 1, 3, 2) the 4th point will be placed away from the field of the column by the computer making the operator aware of the error made.
