No
The device is described as a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) and DICOM Viewer software, intended for managing, storing, displaying, and manipulating medical images and data. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on a patient.
Yes
The 'Intended Use' section states it is "image, data storage and display software" and the 'Device Description' section mentions it provides "diagnostic imaging workstation capabilities" for "radiological diagnosticians," indicating its use in interpreting medical images for diagnosis.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that the TMS TouchPACS Suite is a collection of software applications that run on "off-the-shelf" computers and servers. It does not include or require any proprietary hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is a "picture archiving and communications system (PACS)" and a "DICOM Viewer Software." Its primary function is to manage, store, display, and manipulate medical images.
- Nature of the Device: The device is a software system that processes and displays medical images generated by other modalities (like X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.). It does not perform tests on biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic devices.

Device Description
The TMS TouchPACS Suite is a collection of software applications coded in the Microsoft C# application language, using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) libraries for user interface, that run on "off-the-shelf" Microsoft Windows-based personal or business computers to provide diagnostic imaging workstation capabilities. The system is designed to provide an environment for radiological diagnosticians which is "easy on the eyes"; so that the user can use the system for 10-12 hours per day without undue strain.
The layout and design of the 3-screen user interface evolved from the legacy concept of 3 separate computers, each with a single monitor displaying a single element of the case under review, into a modern, multi-monitor native design which incorporates large performance gains through the use of Microsoft's DirectX imaging technologies.
The core of the system is the database, which is a relational design, using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition as the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). The database server provides a dedicated, central place to provide disaster recovery servicing (via standard SQL Server replication), as well as the large multiterabyte storage required for a PACS system.
Attached to the RDBMS are TouchPACS client workstations, TouchMGR client workstations, and servers required for system operations: TMS DICOM SCP Server and Microsoft SQL Server. All of the aforementioned software modules, except for Microsoft SQL Server, are TMS software products.
The TouchPACS Suite PACS client workstation is intended to be a desktop computer replacement product, with the interface dominating the screen space on a workstation computer. This design decision was made to accommodate non- technical doctors who, we found, typically prefer to have a simplified and unobtrusive environment to work in. Color-based exam status listings were evolutionary, growing from the legacy 'field of green' display listing into the more advanced dynamic, multicolored tree view seen today in the client. TouchPACS is a multi-monitor capable client, currently configurable in a 1, 2, or 3 monitor footprint.
The TouchMGR client workstation represents the nerve center of the TouchPACS Suite, providing services for securing the TMS network, maintaining users, allowing paperless workflow, and other such critical day-to-day system maintenance tasks. TouchMGR users will include hospital or practice administrators, security administrators, and functional personnel who may need to make modifications to data contained in the TMS database. TMS uses DSN-less connections to the database, usually requiring port 1433 to be set as an exception in the workstation's firewall rule set. The client performs many tasks, some of which are not relevant to every customer, though we encourage adoption of TMS electronic processes by our clients in order to help them streamline their office efficiency. Users only see the functions of the Touch MGR modules which they are entitled to view or use, based on security settings captured at login time. The The TMS DICOM SCP Server provides multi-threaded DICOM v3 server capabilities of the TouchPACS system. It was built to be run unattended, but a user interface, available from either the desktop or the TouchMGR client, may be used to both help monitor and control the various DICOM storage processes necessary to import each radiological study from an external source (modality, another PACS, etc.). The server incorporates a DICOM SCP service grouping that allows for DICOM ping response, client protocol negotiation, transfer syntax negotiation, and several other system-level DICOM negotiations. As each case is received, it is stored via a Service host to the local hard drive, then it is queued for storage, and then is stored as data to the main database in one of 8 available simultaneous, threaded "put away" processes.
