The summary describes image processing, visualization, and quantitative analysis tools, but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks.
No
This device is a software for medical image processing, visualization, and analysis, intended to assist physicians in diagnosis. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "iNtuition is designed for use by healthcare professionals and is intended to assist the physician in diagnosis". This directly indicates its role as a diagnostic device. While it also mentions a limitation for diagnostic use when used via web browser or mobile device, the primary intended use for a workstation setting includes aiding diagnosis.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "iNtuition is a software device generally used with off-the-shelf hardware". While it mentions configurations with workstations and servers, the core device being described and submitted for 510(k) is the software itself.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Focus on Medical Imaging: The entire description revolves around receiving, storing, processing, displaying, and analyzing medical images from various imaging modalities (XA, US, CR, DR, SPECT, NM, MG, EBT, CT, PET, MRI, optical, non-DICOM).
- Assisting Physician Diagnosis: The intended use explicitly states that the device is "intended to assist the physician in diagnosis, who is responsible for making all final patient management decisions." This indicates a role in interpreting existing diagnostic information (images), not performing a diagnostic test itself.
- No Mention of Biological Samples: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- Image Processing and Visualization Tools: The described functionalities are focused on manipulating and visualizing images (2D, 3D, 4D, segmentation, quantitative analysis, etc.), which are typical functions of medical image processing software.
In summary, this device is a medical image processing and visualization software intended to aid healthcare professionals in interpreting medical images, not an in vitro diagnostic device that performs tests on biological samples.

Device Description
iNtuition is a software device generally used with off-the-shelf hardware, offered in various configurations, with the simplest configuration being a stand-alone workstation capable of image review, communications, archiving, database maintenance, remote review, reporting and basic 3D capabilities described elsewhere in this document. The system can also be configured as a server with some, all, or none of its optional features disabled. Whether provided as a workstation or a server, the iNtuition software is designed to provide access by a local user physically sitting at the computer hosting the iNtuition server software, and/or by one or more remote users who concurrently connect to the server using a freely-downloadable thin client application (with conference capabilities). iNtuition supports the physician in medical image viewing.
A fully-configured iNtuition system is capable of various image processing and visualization functions, including full-color Volume Rendering, Calcium Scoring, Segmentation Analysis and Tracking (SAT), Vessel Analysis, Flythrough, Multi-phase review, CT/ CTA Subtraction, Lobular Decomposition (LD), iGENTLE, Maxillo-Facial, Volumetric Histogram, Findings Workflow, Fusion CT/ MR/ PET/ SPECT, MultiKV etc. Each of these features may be offered as an independent upgrade option to the basic configuration.
The intended use of the device is to provide solutions to various medical image analysis and viewing problems, which come about as modalities generate more and more images. It also supports image distribution over networks, and is DICOM compliant.
For example, modern CT scanners produce up to several hundred slices per second, which cannot easily be scrutinized one by one. Although the iNtuition software offers this one-by-one viewing capability, it also is capable, when appropriate, of combining many slices to generate a volume-rendered view of the data. Modern MRI, PET and other scanners or imaging devices pose the same problem to the medical imaging professional.
Volume rendering, i.e. the computation of a three-dimensional object and its visualization in semi-transparent style on a screen, also includes segmentation of the volume into multiple irregular volumes of interest, which enhances recognition and analysis of otherwise hidden or overlapping features.
Another use is taking advantage of the 3D/2D-display option, in which the 3D view can be used to identify a location of interest which is then cross-referenced to the two-dimensional cross-section view(s).
Statistical analysis such as a histogram representation of the image density values in an image is supported. Advanced navigation tools for centerline-extracted flight paths and flythrough of any air or dye contrasted structure including, for example, the colon, vessels, or pulmonary airways are supported. When appropriate, the system can generate a sequence of 3D images. adding a 4th dimension of time, and hence providing a 4D analysis capability. Image analysis support for endovascular procedures such as analysis of thrombus, calcifications, and endoleaks can be carried out using the iNtuition tools. To study changes in user identified lesion volume and to track growth or shrinkage over time; for example, to analyze and track the progression/regression of tumors identified by the physician, the Segmentation, Analysis and Tracking (SAT) tool is provided. Calcium Scoring based upon established algorithms is possible, for the non-invasive detection and quantification of atherosclerotic plaque. Finally, iNtuition offers convenient tools to support creation of a report, transmitting and storing this report in digital form, and tracking historical information about the studies analyzed with the software.
The software also facilitates executing any of the above functions on a remote viewer on defined and appropriately secured networks.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The subject of this traditional 510k notification, iNtuition, did not require clinical studies to show safety and effectiveness of the software.
Performance testing was carried out according to internal company procedures. Software testing and validation were done according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted. Test results were reviewed by designated technical professionals before software proceeded to formalize after ensuring that the software fully satisfies all expected and previously defined system requirements and features. Test results support the conclusion that actual device performance satisfies the design intent and is equivalent to its predicate devices.
