Intended Use
AW VolumeShare 5 is a review workstation, which allows easy selection, review, processing and filming of multi-modality DICOM images from a variety of diagnostic imaging systems. When interpreted by a trained physician, filmed or displayed images on the AW monitor may be used as a basis of diagnosis, except in the case of mammography images. AngioViz is an application which produces from a DSA series parametric images representing maximum opacification, time to peak and combinations of those, to enable the user to more easily visualize characteristics related to vascular flow. The AngioViz application can be used to process DSA image data from any location in the human body for which DSA imaging is used.
Device Description
The AW VolumeShare 5 is a stand-alone workstation with its own image database residing on its dedicated computer. The AW VolumeShare 5 workstation supports functions for image display, manipulation, and selective recording (either on film or on disk). The AW VolumeShare 5 is intended to be used to create and review diagnostic evidence related to radiology procedures by trained and licensed physicians and/or qualified clinical/medical personnel. The device is not intended for diagnosis of mammography images AW VolumeShare 5 workstation, like its predicate Advantage Workstation 4.3, provides a platform for a variety of other GE software medical devices to operate, all of which are cleared by FDA in their own names. AngioViz is an option offered on AW Volume Share 5. It is an integrated post processing image analysis software dedicated to the application of vascular imaging on body vessels. AngioViz is an application which produces from a DSA series parametric images representing maximum opacification, time to peak and combinations of those, to enable the user to more easily visualize characteristics related to vascular flow. The AngioViz application can be used to process DSA image data from any location in the human body for which DSA imaging is used.
More Information

No
The document describes image processing and analysis to create parametric images, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test sets typically associated with such technologies.

No
The device is described as a review workstation for diagnostic imaging, used to visualize characteristics related to vascular flow, and is not intended for treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "filmed or displayed images on the AW monitor may be used as a basis of diagnosis," and the "Device Description" reiterates that the device "is intended to be used to create and review diagnostic evidence related to radiology procedures."

No

The device is described as a "stand-alone workstation with its own image database residing on its dedicated computer," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze biological samples: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • This device processes medical images: The description clearly states that the AW VolumeShare 5 and the AngioViz application process and analyze medical images (DICOM images, DSA series) from diagnostic imaging systems. They are used for visualization and analysis of anatomical structures and flow characteristics, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • The intended use is for image review and diagnosis based on images: The intended use is for reviewing, processing, and filming multi-modality DICOM images for diagnosis by a trained physician.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software or a medical image processing workstation, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(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. Peng:

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.
