No
The summary describes a standard PACS system with image management and editing capabilities, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No
The device is described as image management software (PACS) for dental offices, designed to store, manage, and display digital images for diagnostic use. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The system is designed to provide images for diagnostic use." Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions that images are "available for both diagnostic and non-diagnostic use."
Yes
The device is described as "internet-based, image management software (PACS)" and a "web-based dental practice image management system" that is accessed via an internet connection and does not require software installation on the user's computer. While it interacts with images from hardware devices, the device itself is solely the software system for managing and processing these images.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Curve Image's Function: Curve Image is an image management software (PACS) for dental offices. Its primary function is to acquire, store, manage, and display digital images of hard and soft tissue charts. It facilitates the viewing and manipulation of these images for diagnostic use by dental professionals.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient. It works directly with digital images acquired from imaging devices or uploaded by the user.
While the system is used for "diagnostic use" in the context of dental imaging, this refers to the interpretation of the images by a trained professional, not an in vitro diagnostic test performed by the device itself on a biological sample.
The predicate devices listed (PACS systems) further support that this is categorized as a medical image management system, not an IVD.

Device Description
Curve Image is a web-based dental practice image management system that provides Internet access to an image library for each patient in a practice. It also provides tools for dental practices to manipulate patient images and both acquire and upload new images in industry standard formats. Images can be annotated and tagged, and are available for both diagnostic and non-diagnostic use. All of these actions are performed from a secure website, after entering user credentials, similar to other commonly used online applications. The system can be accessed by the user via an internet connection and does not require any software installation on the user's computer.
Curve Image may be sold as a stand-alone product, or may be bundled with a suite of web applications to form a comprehensive dental practice management application called HERO.

§ 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)

VII. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Curve Dental, Inc. has conducted extensive non-clinical and validation testing of the Curve Image system, as a PACS system that is capable of providing reliable post-processing and display of images for dental applications. All of the different components of the Curve Image software have been stress tested to ensure that the system as a whole provides all the capabilities necessary to operate in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
The tests performed included:
- . Product Risk Assessment
- . Software modules verification tests
- Software validation test .
VIII. Conclusions
Based on the comparison of intended use and technological characteristics, the Curve Image system is substantially equivalent to the ChairSide Software Application manufactured by EagleSoft (K982422) and the Centricity PACS Web Diagnostic (Web DX) PACS manufactured by GE Healthcare Dynamic Imaging Solutions.
Curve Image combines the web-based technology of the Centricity PACS, with the features and functionality of the ChairSide Software. Therefore the Curve Image device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Conry:
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
10
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.
