No
The document describes standard medical image processing and display functionalities without mentioning AI or ML.
No
The device is described as an image display and management system for medical images, focused on interpretation and storage, without mention of direct therapeutic action or treatment.
Yes
The device is intended for the "display and interpretation of medical images" for primary diagnosis in mammography (with specific conditions), and also for further manipulation and review by physicians, which are activities directly related to diagnostic processes.
Yes
The device description and intended use clearly define ImageQube as a system for displaying, processing, storing, and distributing medical images from various modalities. While it interacts with hardware (imaging modalities, monitors, printers), the core functionality described is software-based image management and manipulation. There is no mention of ImageQube itself being a piece of hardware.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- ImageQube's function: The description clearly states that ImageQube is used for the display, interpretation, storage, and distribution of medical images acquired from various imaging modalities (CT, MRI, etc.). It processes and presents visual data, not biological samples.
The device is a medical image management and viewing system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
ImageQube is intended for use by a physician or other medical professionals in the display and interpretation of medical images and demographic detail from all institutional imaging modalities, including, but not limited to, CT, MRI, NM, DR, US, PET Fusion, Angio and MG (including display of DICOM overlays and 3D Mammography images), along with secondary capture devices, such as film digitizers or other imaging sources. The ImageQube is designed for display, interpretation, storage and distribution of all modalities.
Only pre-processed DICOM For Presentation images can be interpreted for primary diagnosis in mammography. Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be viewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor meeting all the technical specifications required by the FDA for the Performance of Screening and Diagnostic Mammography. Images that are printed to film must be done using an FDA-approved printer for the diagnosis of digital mammography images. Efficient mammography screening makes toolbars and thumbnails available on each monitor, while also handling DICOM overlay display.
Acquired medical images may be displayed and manipulated further utilizing Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR), Anatomic Triangulation (AT), Dynamic Cross-Referencing, Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP), Slab and 3-D display, sent to and retrieved by radiologists in-house at facilities or at remote sites, stored, archived or printed. The ImageQube can operate as an independent device, or can also be interfaced with Rational Imaging PACS systems. Annotated print pages, transcribed reports and Key Image Summaries can also be accessed.

§ 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 Mr. Rongero:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
