The summary describes "advanced analysis algorithms" and "advanced automated methods" for image processing and quantitative measurements, but it explicitly states the software does not perform functions that cannot be accomplished manually and focuses on automating manual tasks. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor is there information about training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.
No
The device is a software application that analyzes existing MR images to provide quantitative data for clinical decision-making; it does not directly treat or diagnose, nor does it recommend a course of action or treatment.
Yes
The device analyzes medical images (MR scans) to provide quantitative data (blood flow analysis) intended to "support qualified cardiologist, radiologist or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners for clinical decision making." This indicates its use in understanding a patient's medical condition.
Yes
The device is described as a "web-accessible, self-contained image analysis software application" that imports pre-existing data files and does not interface directly with hardware. Its function is solely the analysis of existing image data.
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. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
- HeartPro's function: HeartPro analyzes images acquired from MR scanners. It processes and quantifies data derived from these images, which represent the blood flow within the body. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
- Input data: The input data for HeartPro is DICOM-compliant cardiovascular images, not biological specimens.
While HeartPro provides data that supports clinical decision-making, its method of obtaining and analyzing that data falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic. It is an image analysis software tool used in conjunction with medical imaging equipment.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
HeartPro consists of software that analyzes DICOM-compliant cardiovascular images acquired from magnetic resonance (MR) scanners. HeartPro specifically analyzes the blood flow to the heart and its major vessels using multi-phase and velocity encoded MR images. It provides clinically relevant and reproducible, quantitative data and has been tested and validated on MR images acquired from both 1.5T and 3.0 T MR Scanners.
The data produced by HeartPro is intended to be used to support qualified cardiologist, radiologist or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners for clinical decision making. It is a support tool that provides relevant clinical data as a resource to the clinician and is not intended to be a source of medical advice or to determine or recommend a course of action or treatment for a patient.

Device Description
MedVoxel HeartPro is a web-accessible, self-contained image analysis software application. The application uses cardiac-specific MR scans as a data source for their blood flow analysis computations.
Pre-existing MR images are sent from the PACS (or scanner) to the MedVoxel HeartPro software application, image corrections (specific to aliasing errors) are applied to the set of images prescribed by the user, contour are placed and advanced analysis algorithms are applied. Easily reproducible test results are produced and stored in the Measurement Record of the patients' study.
HeartPro does not interface directly with any MR or data collection equipment; instead HeartPro imports data files previously generated by such equipment.
HeartPro provides quantitative measurements specific to blood flow analysis for MRI data sequences. The software application focuses on what is visible to the eye and applies advanced automated methods to avoid tedious, time-consuming manual methods. The software does not perform any functions which cannot be accomplished by a trained user utilizing manual tracing methods; the intent of the software is to save time and automate potential error-prone manual tasks.
The software has functions for loading, analysing, saving datasets and will generate screen displays, computation and aggregated statistics.

(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 Ms. Sewlochan:
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 of
5
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.
