Intended Use
The CARESTREAM Vue PACS is an image management system whose intended use is to provide completely scaleable local and wide area PACS solutions for hospital and related institutions/sites, which will archive, distribute, retrieve and display images and data from all hospital modalities and information systems. The system contains interactive tools in order to ease the process of analyzing and comparing three dimensional (3D) images. It is a single system that integrates the review, dictation and reporting tools that creates a productive work environment for the radiologists and physicians. The Lesion Management Application is a module that works with CARESTREAM Vue PACS for measurement of lesions or regions of interest identified by trained users; tabulation of measurements, categorization of tumor response in accordance with user-selected standards, and follow-up record of findings. Lesion Management Application is not to be used for mammography.

No
The summary describes standard PACS functionality and a lesion management module that relies on user-identified regions and user-selected standards, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is an image management system used for archiving, distributing, retrieving, and displaying images and data, and performing measurements and analysis, but it does not directly treat or provide therapy.

Yes

The device, through its Lesion Management Application module, allows for "measurement of lesions or regions of interest," "tabulation of measurements," and "categorization of tumor response." These functions directly contribute to the analysis and interpretation of medical images to assist in diagnosis and monitoring, which are characteristics of a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device is described as an "image management system" and a "module" that works with the system, focusing on archiving, distributing, retrieving, displaying, and analyzing images and data. While it interacts with hardware (modalities and information systems), the core functionality described is software-based image management and analysis tools. There is no mention of the device itself being a piece of hardware.

Based on the provided information, the CARESTREAM Vue PACS, including the Lesion Management Application module, is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • CARESTREAM Vue PACS Function: The description clearly states that the system is an "image management system" that "archive[s], distribute[s], retrieve[s] and display[s] images and data from all hospital modalities and information systems." It also provides tools for analyzing and comparing images and managing lesion measurements based on those images.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the system analyzing any biological specimens. Its function is centered around managing and processing medical images.

Therefore, the CARESTREAM Vue PACS falls under the category of medical imaging software and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), not IVD.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Dear Ms. Chamberlain:

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

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.
