The summary describes basic image processing and viewing functionalities without mentioning AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for model development. The performance studies focus on functional verification and validation, not AI/ML model performance metrics.
No
The device is described as software for image processing and communication for review and analysis of medical images; it does not perform any therapeutic function.
No
The description states "fulAccess is a stand-alone software package that assists users in the display, analysis, comparison and communication of medical imaging data from various sources." While it aids in analysis, it primarily provides image processing and communication functionality for review. It does not explicitly state that it provides a diagnosis or aids in making a diagnosis itself, but rather assists in reviewing and analyzing images, which are then used by trained medical professionals.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that fulAccess is a "standalone software product" and a "Windows application." While it mentions being used on "recommended hardware," it clarifies that this hardware is "provided by the company or the end user," indicating the software itself is the medical device, not the hardware it runs on.
Based on the provided information, fulAccess is NOT an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The intended use and device description of fulAccess clearly state that it is used to review and process medical images from modalities like CT, MR, and PET. These are imaging techniques that capture images of the inside of the body, not analyze biological samples.
- The intended use focuses on image display, analysis, comparison, and communication. This aligns with the functionality of medical image viewers and processing software, not diagnostic tests performed on biological samples.
- The device description details image processing functions. Features like zoom, pan, measure, sample pixel intensity, and annotations are all related to manipulating and reviewing images, not analyzing biological markers or substances.
In summary, fulAccess is a medical image processing and viewing software, which falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Validation testing was performed by a board certified clinician who organized the testing according to the intended clinical use (i.e. importing data, viewing data, manipulating data, saving data, etc.). Validation testing was performed in a simulated clinical environment using a variety of data types and combinations that were judged by the clinician to be representative of the types of data the device will encounter in clinical use.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Fulcrum Medical has verified and validated that the fulAccess software meets its functional specifications and performance requirements. Verification testing was accomplished using a combination of unit, system and integration tests. Verification testing was organized with reference to discrete units of software functionality (e.g., DICOM import, image control, structure control, data export/saving, etc.) and the results of hazard analyses. All verification tests were passed and no anomalies remained at the conclusion of testing. Validation testing was performed by a board certified clinician who organized the testing according to the intended clinical use (i.e. importing data, viewing data, manipulating data, saving data, etc.).

(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)

Dear Mr. Brame:
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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
3
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
