The document describes a system for storage, management, processing, and display of medical data, including images. While it mentions "processing" of images, there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms or concepts that would indicate the use of such technologies for analysis or interpretation. The processing described appears to be related to data handling, display, and basic measurements.
No
The device is a software system for storing, managing, processing, and displaying patient and diagnostic data, not for treating any medical condition.
No
The device is a software system for storing, managing, processing, and displaying data from computerized diagnostic instruments, but it is not itself a diagnostic device as it does not generate diagnostic information. It is a system intended for the review of diagnostic data.
Yes
The device is described as a "software system" and its components (server and client application) are software-based. While it interacts with external diagnostic instruments, the device itself is presented as a software solution for data management, processing, and display.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description of FORUM clearly state that it is for the storage, management, processing, and display of patient, diagnostic, video, and image data from computerized diagnostic instruments or documentation systems. It is not described as analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The focus is on managing and reviewing data from other diagnostic devices. FORUM acts as a system to handle data generated by other instruments, primarily images and reports. While it allows for measurements on images, this is based on existing data, not the analysis of a biological specimen.
Therefore, FORUM falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
FORUM is a computer software system designed for storage, processing, and review of images, videos and reports originating from computerized diagnostic instruments or other documentation systems.
FORUM is available in two different product variants: FORUM Archive and FORUM Archive & Viewer.
The FORUM Archive consists of a server and a client application. The server offers a DICOM interface to diagnostic instruments via a network. On this server, medical documents including reports, images, videos or raw data and patient data are archived. All data can be retrieved via the network by instruments or other applications using the DICOM interface. The client application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for administering the server and the data stored therein.
FORUM Viewer serves as an additional module to the client application that allows health care professionals to display and review the data stored in FORUM Archive. FORUM Viewer enables health care professionals to perform measurements in fundus images, based on the scaling information which is provided in the DICOM header and add comments to the saved data. FORUM Viewer provides the option for data transfer to and from other FORUM installations and the ability to import non-DICOM data. FORUM Viewer also includes a modality worklist (scheduling).
FORUM Archive & Viewer provides the following workflow cycle:
- Receive patient demographic data from the leading systems, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and enter these manually into FORUM
- Transfer patient demographic data from FORUM to diagnostic instruments via modality . worklist (scheduling)
- Receive and archive exam data from diagnostic instruments
- Enable health care professionals to display and review exam data through FORUM . Viewer
FORUM also interfaces with other FORUM applications such as FORUM ASSIST match. This accessory software provides an improved workflow to identify potential duplicates of patient records that may then be merged using a merge operation already available on FORUM. The relevant supporting documentation for this software is provided within this 510(k).

(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)

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
It is the opinion of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG that the new version of FORUM (3.0) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices FORUM (K090439) and Synergy (K093313). The indications for use statement for FORUM are similar to the indications for use of the predicate devices cited in this application. The technological comparison demonstrates that FORUM is functionally equivalent to the predicate devices.
The similarities and differences between the subject device FORUM and the predicate devices and how these differences do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the device are provided below.
- FORUM and the predicate devices comprise of a central database to store . diagnostic documents.
- FORUM and the predicate devices are client-server systems that provide a . software application (client) to view the stored data in the database (server).
- . FORUM and the predicate devices provide the management, storage and processing and display of patient, diagnostic, video and image data.
- . FORUM and the predicate devices can connect to LAN and have DICOM . interface.
- FORUM and the predicate device Synergy provide the measurement functionality . in imported images whereas the predicate device FORUM (K090439) does not. FORUM provides a line measurement in fundus images, whereas the predicate device Synergy provides line and area measurements of retinal images.
3
510(K) SUMMARY
Additionally, the predicate device Synergy also provides OCT Retinal and RNFL thickness measurement functions. The line measurement function in FORUM has been verified and validated and the results indicate that the difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
- FORUM and the predicate device Synergy provide interface with Electronic . Medical Records (EMRs) or Practice Management Systems whereas the predicate device FORUM (K090439) does not. This function in FORUM uses the HL7 standard. HL7 is an established protocol, which has been verified with FORUM and the results indicate that the difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
- FORUM and the predicate device FORUM (K090439) do not provide access to . patient data remotely via the internet. Remote access of data can only be done via the Virtual Private Network (VPN) whereas the predicate device Synergy provides data access remotely via the internet. The difference in this function does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Evaluation performed on FORUM supports the indications for use statement, demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The technological characteristics of FORUM are similar to those of the predicate devices. The minor differences between FORUM and the predicate devices are insignificant and do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the device.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The fundamental technological characteristics of the new version of FORUM (3.0) are similar to those of the predicate devices, FORUM (K090439) and Synergy (K093313). All systems comprise a central database to store diagnostic documents (i.e. retinal images and reports of other ophthalmic diagnostic devices). These documents are imported from the diagnostic devices via a network connection.
All systems are client-server systems which provide a software application (client) to view the data stored in the database (server). FORUM Viewer allows the user to search for patient records and display these for comparison purposes. FORUM interfaces with other FORUM applications, devices and systems. The client software can be used to access the database from a remote location via network.
FORUM and the predicate devices all serve the same principal purpose of clinical usage and provide a wide range of comparable functionality for their users.
