Intended Use
The KINEGRAPH VMA™ software is a quantitative imaging software application intended to be used to process digital image files. It is designed for physicians and clinical professionals who are interested in the analysis of motion in medical images, particularly in musculoskeletal images of the spine. KINEGRAPH VMA™ software permits users to review static and dynamic digital lumbar spine images acquired with the assistance of the MOTION NORMALIZER™ patient handling and data collection device, which is designed for use by imaging technicians and intended to assist with patient lumbar bending and data collection during imaging. KINEGRAPH VMA™ software also facilitates quantitative assessment of vertebral motion in digital medical images. Information about the motion of selected objects, such as bone structures, can be generated and presented in the form of a 'motion analysis' report containing graphics, charts, and text.
Device Description
The subject device consists of the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software that analyzes images from the MOTION NORMALIZER™ on an Off-the-Shelf ("OTS") imaging workstation. The MOTION NORMALIZER patient handling and data collection device is an accessory device to the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software that is used to assist with subject lumbar bending and data collection while images are captured with standard fluoroscopes. The MOTION NORMALIZER is comprised of two powered, electromechanical patient handling devices connected to and controlled by a consolemounted OTS computer running custom software connected to various OTS hardware accessories. The subject system is able to capture and record fluoroscopic image data, as well as data from the patient handling devices, and to output this data into DICOM compatible digital image files for analysis using the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software.
More Information

No
The summary describes quantitative image processing and analysis of motion, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The focus is on processing existing digital image files and generating reports based on measured motion.

No.
The device is described as a quantitative imaging software application that processes digital image files for analysis of motion in medical images. It assists with data collection and provides reports, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition, which are characteristic functions of a therapeutic device.

No

The KINEGRAPH VMA™ software is described as a "quantitative imaging software application intended to be used to process digital image files" and to "facilitate quantitative assessment of vertebral motion in digital medical images." It generates "motion analysis reports" but there is no explicit mention of diagnosis provided by the device, rather it provides information to physicians for their analysis.

No

While the KINEGRAPH VMA™ is described as software, the submission explicitly states it is part of a system that includes the MOTION NORMALIZER™ device, which is a powered, electromechanical patient handling device with its own hardware and software. The performance studies also evaluate the "integral system," indicating the software is not intended to function as a standalone medical device without the associated hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The KINEGRAPH VMA™ software and its accessory, the MOTION NORMALIZER™, are used to process and analyze medical images (specifically fluoroscopic images of the spine) acquired directly from the patient. They do not analyze specimens taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to analyze motion in medical images, particularly musculoskeletal images of the spine, for physicians and clinical professionals. This is a function related to medical imaging analysis, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging software and related accessories, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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 Dr. Smith:

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 nouticate 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.
