Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion software enables the display of 3D (MIP/MPR) visualization of CT, MR and PET studies and fusion or blending of CT and PET studies. Typical users are radiologists, technologists, and clinicians. Obliquus is not intended for mammography use.
Device Description
Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software (this submission) is an upgraded version of the Synapse 3D Visualization Software Obliquus (K061672) with all previous features plus a newly developed Fusion feature. The major change is the addition of Fusion blends images from CT and PET series and displays the blended series using various color tables assigned to one of the two source series. A few improvements have also been made to the functionality cleared in K061672. It will now be possible to add annotations in the MPR viewer and length measurement and ROI measurement functions have been added to Common Image Processing Features (for all Viewers).
More Information

No
The summary describes standard image processing and visualization techniques (MIP, MPR, Fusion) and does not mention any AI/ML specific terms, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as software for displaying and blending medical images (CT, MR, PET) for visualization purposes for radiologists, technologists, and clinicians, not for therapeutic intervention or treatment.

No

The device is described as software for 3D visualization and fusion of medical images (CT, MR, PET) for radiologists, technologists, and clinicians. While it aids in viewing and analyzing medical images, it does not state that it provides a diagnosis or diagnostic output itself. Its function is image processing and display, which supports diagnostic processes performed by a human.

Yes

The device is described as "Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software" and its description focuses solely on software features and functionalities for image processing and visualization. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components.

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 description clearly states that this software is for displaying and processing medical images (CT, MR, PET). It performs tasks like 3D visualization, fusion, and measurements on these images.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the software analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on materials taken from the body. Its input is image data, not biological specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software, not in vitro diagnostics.

Substantial Equivalence/Predicate Devices:

Synapse 3D (MIP/MPR) Image Visualization Software OBLIQUUS - K061672 GE Advantage Windows CT/PET Fusion - K010336

Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software and the predicate Synapse 3D (MIP/MPR) Image Visualization software OBLIQUUS (K061672) perform the same functions except PET displaying feature and Fusion feature. However these two features are equivalent to the GE Advantage Windows CT/PET Fusion (K010336) as shown in the comparison table in Section 12. The Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software and the two predicate devices are all software devices for displaying and/or comparing 3D studies. The Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software intended use is essentially a combination of the two predicate device intended uses. Thus the Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software is substantially equivalent to the combination of the two predicates.

Description of the Device:

Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion Software (this submission) is an upgraded version of the Synapse 3D Visualization Software Obliquus (K061672) with all previous features plus a newly developed Fusion feature. The major change is the addition of Fusion blends images from CT and PET series and displays the blended series using various color tables assigned to one of the two source series. A few improvements have also been made to the functionality cleared in K061672. It will now be possible to add annotations in the MPR viewer and length measurement and ROI measurement functions have been added to Common Image Processing Features (for all Viewers).

Intended Use:

Synapse Obliquus MIP/MPR/Fusion software enables the display of 3D (MIP/MPR) visualization of CT, MR, and PET studies and fusion or blending of CT and PET studies. Typical users are radiologists, technologists and clinicians. Obliquus is not intended for Mammography use.
