The document describes a standard PACS system for image management and display, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for image analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is described as an image and informatics system used to receive, transmit, display, print, and process medical images, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.
No
The Paxera PACS is described as an image and informatics system intended to receive, transmit, display, print, and process digital images, and to attach diagnostic reports. While it handles images that may be used for diagnosis and allows for the attachment of diagnostic reports, it does not itself perform diagnostic functions or generate diagnoses. Instead, it facilitates the workflow for trained medical professionals who perform the actual diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "server infrastructure software" and the ability to "print images," implying the system includes or interfaces with hardware components beyond just software. While the core functionality is software-based, the description doesn't limit it to software only.
Based on the provided text, the Paxera PACS is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
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, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Paxera PACS Function: The Paxera PACS is described as a system for receiving, transmitting, displaying, printing, and processing digital images from medical imaging modalities. It handles images generated by devices like MR, CT, X-Ray, Ultrasound, etc. These are images of the body itself, not analyses of specimens taken from the body.
- No Specimen Handling: The description does not mention any handling or analysis of biological specimens.
Therefore, the Paxera PACS falls under the category of medical imaging software or a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Paxera PACS is a scalable medical image and informatics system intended to receive, transmit, display, print and process digital images from medical image modality supporting the DICOM 3.0 standard, these modalities are Magnetic Resonance (MR), Computed Tomography (CT) Computed Radiography (CR), Digital X-Ray (DR), Digital Mammography (MG), X-Ray Angiography (XA), Ultrasound (US), Nuclear Medicine (NM), and Positron Emission Tomography (PT).
The Paxera PACS workstation provides the user with the ability to display, manipulate, attach diagnostic reports ,archive, transmit and print images using DICOM and other computer industry standard interfaces and standards.
Mammography images intended for primary interpretation must be acquired for an FDA approved Full Field Digital Mammography (FDDM) device. In addition, the FDDM device must be able to provide to the Paxera PACS "for presentation" a viewable DICOM image as approved by FDA for primary interpretation. If images are sent to a film printers must be FDA approved for diagnosis of digital mammography images. If digital mammography images are viewed on a display that display must be cleared by the FDA for primary diagnosis of digital mammography images.
The Paxera PACS allows for integration with many open interfaces including DICOM, Web Client, and Archiving devices. The Paxera PACS server infrastructure software facilitate database management and image management, printing, HL-7 interfacing and all DICOM services such as Store/Retrieve, Query and Send.

§ 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. Alletto:
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.
