The description focuses on standard image viewing, measurement, and display functionalities common in PACS viewers, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or processing beyond basic manipulations.
No.
The device is described as software for viewing medical images and facilitating the display/transfer of clinical DICOM images and reports. Its features include tools for measurements, image manipulation (zoom, window-leveling), and displaying patient demographics. There is no mention of the device directly applying or being intended for a therapeutic purpose. It supports the clinical review process, which is part of diagnosis and treatment planning, but doesn't perform therapy itself.
No
The device is described as a software only device for viewing images acquired from various medical imaging systems, with features for display, measurement, and reporting. It is explicitly stated that the device is "not intended for clinical viewing of mammography images," but rather for "read-only review of external image deliveries" and "reviewing clinical data acquired at some other geographic location." While it facilitates image review, it does not perform diagnosis itself; it is a tool for clinicians to review diagnostic images.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "PaCentric is a software only device". While it relies on commercial hardware for installation and display, the device itself is described solely in terms of its software functionalities for image viewing, processing, and communication.
Based on the provided information, PaCentric is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- PaCentric's Function: PaCentric is a software device intended for viewing and processing medical images acquired from imaging modalities like CT, MR, etc. It works with images of the body itself, not with specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "viewing of images acquired from CT, MR, CR, US and other DICOM compliant medical imaging systems." This aligns with medical imaging review, not in vitro testing.
Therefore, PaCentric falls under the category of a medical image management and viewing software, not an IVD.

Device Description
PaCentric Web is an Internet application for read-only review of external image deliveries.
PaCentric Web facilitates the display and/or transfer of clinical DICOM images and reports to a Web browser. PaCentric is ensuring secure and time-limited access to clinical data. The receiver will only have access to the relevant data for a particular delivery. Using PaCentric, patient data can be delivered to a specific recipient anywhere in the world.
PaCentric Web gives a qualified user read-only access to an image delivery. Access is given with a key and password, which must be provided by the Sender.
PaCentric Web features commonly used tools and features found on DICOM workstations:
• Preview image icons from which the user may select images to review in full size
• Measurements: Distance, Area, Volume, Angle and ratios. Measurement calibration based on information provided by the relevant DICOM tag. The measurements are performed by having the user select a caliper and marking end points by clicking with a mouse button. The results are being displayed and updated in a results area on the screen.
• Horizontal and Vertical invert, i.e. flipping the image sideways or upside-down.
• Color maps. A pixel consists of three sets of values from 0 to 255 that together constitute a color or a gray level. Technically, these RGB values are reduced according to desired color hue. A grayscale image therefore will not lose any details in the image for higher or lower values. This function is mostly used for MONOCHROME1 and MONOCHROME2 images.
• Window-leveling and Brightness control. These Attributes is only used for Images with Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) values of MONOCHROME1 and MONOCHROME2. They have no meaning for other Images.
When working with DICOM images, the user has the ability to make changes to the displayed images, on a global level, by manipulating the Window Level. Tonal changes to specific areas of an image. Window Center DICOM TAG 0028,1050 and Window Width DICOM TAG 0028,1051 specify a linear conversion from stored pixel values (after any Modality LUT or Rescale Slope and Intercept specified in the IOD have been applied) to values to be displayed. Window Center contains the input value that is the center of the window. Window Width contains the width of the window. Note: The terms "window center" and "window width" are not consistently used in practice, nor were they defined in previous versions of the standard. The definitions here are presented for the purpose of defining consistent meanings for identity and threshold transformations while preserving the common practice of using integral values for center and width.
• Zoom - Image is downloaded in its original size, but the height and width definition can be adjusted and will therefore function as zoom.
• Language selection. Default language is based on current location derived from the IP address of the viewer.
• Simple printable report with preview and selectable fields: Display of patient demographics: Sex, age, date of examination, nationality, operator, weight, referring physician, height, performing physician, body surface area (BSA), location, BP, Sender address, Description, Diagnosis, Comments, Images, selectable signature lines
• Ability to display up to eight independent image areas at the same time
