No
The document describes standard PACS functionalities and image processing techniques (MPR, MIP, 3D rendering, window leveling, image registration) but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms. The description emphasizes similarity to predicate devices and improvements to the user interface and integration, not advanced analytical capabilities.
No.
The device is described as a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) intended for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes, and it does not directly administer therapy or provide therapeutic functions.
Yes
The document explicitly states that the device is for "diagnostic purposes" and that healthcare professionals use it "for diagnosis and treatment planning".
Yes
The device description explicitly states, "It is a software device running on commercially available computer equipment." This indicates that the medical device itself is the software, and it utilizes off-the-shelf hardware.
Based on the provided text, 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 Agfa's IMPAX Next Generation is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Its primary function is the acquisition, display, processing, storage, and distribution of medical images and related information.
- No Mention of Biological Samples: There is no mention of the device analyzing or interacting with biological samples from a patient. Its input is medical images from various modalities.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software/systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Agfa's IMPAX Next Generation is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). It provides an interface for the acquisition, display, digital processing, annotation, review, printing, storage and distribution of multimodality medical images, reports and demographic information for diagnostic purposes within the system and across computer networks. IMPAX Next Generation is intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals including, but not limited to physicians, radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, cardiologists, mammographers, technologists, and clinicians for diagnosis and treatment planning using DICOM compliant medical images and other healthcare data.
MPR, MIP and 3D rendering functionality allows the user to view image data from perspectives different from that in which it was acquired. Other digital image processing functionality such as multi-scale window leveling and image registration can be used to enhance image viewing.
As a comprehensive imaging suite, IMPAX Next Generation integrates with servers, archives, Radiology Information Systems (RIS), Hospital Information Systems (HIS), reporting and 3rd party applications for customer specific workflows.
Lossy compressed mammography images and digitized film images should not be used for primary image interpretation. Uncompressed or non-lossy compressed "for presentation" images may be used for diagnosis or screening on monitors that are FDA-cleared for mammographic use.

§ 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 Mr. Job:
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
4
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 Viro 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.
