The document describes a standard PACS system for viewing, storing, and managing medical images. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image analysis, diagnosis support, or workflow optimization beyond basic PACS functionality.
No.
CLARISO PACS is a software system for viewing, storing, and managing DICOM images and related patient information; it does not list any therapeutic claims or functions.
No
Explanation: CLARISO PACS is a software system intended for viewing, organizing, and storing DICOM images and related information. It is described as a "viewing tool" and used for purposes like hard copy replacement, remote access, electronic image integration, and workflow management. The text explicitly states it's "not intended for the acquisition of mammographic image data" and is a service for "PACS functionality." While it facilitates access to images that may be used for diagnosis, the device itself does not perform any diagnostic analysis or generate diagnostic conclusions. It supports the diagnostic process by providing access to data for qualified personnel.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "CLARISO PACS™ is a software system" and describes its functions as receiving, organizing, storing, and making available DICOM images and related information via network and user interfaces. It focuses on software functionalities like viewing, workflow management, and integration with other systems, without mentioning any proprietary hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that CLARISO PACS is a software teleradiology system used to receive, organize, store, and make available medical images and related information. It is used by medical personnel for viewing and managing radiological image data. This aligns with the definition of a medical image management and viewing system, not an IVD.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a viewing tool for studies within a medical facility, a hard copy replacement, a remote access tool, an electronic image integration platform, and a radiology workflow management tool. None of these functions involve testing samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose diseases, or monitor treatment. CLARISO PACS does not perform any such tests. Its input is medical imaging data, not biological samples.
In summary, CLARISO PACS is a medical device, specifically a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), used for managing and viewing medical images. It does not fit the definition or function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
CLARISO PACS™ is a software system to be used to view DICOM compliant studies, which are stored within the CLARISO PACS™ . CLARISO PACS™ is intended for professional use only as a viewing tool for studies within a medical facility. CLARISO PACS™ is a 'Continuous Use' device. This device is also compliant with HIPAA regulations regarding patient privacy (such as restricting access to particular studies, logging access to data.). Since there is no direct patient interaction with the device, there is no possibility that CLARISO PACS™ might lead to a fatal fault or injury to the patient. The only two most likely causes of a fault would be the change of the computing environment of the Client system, or a mislabeling of the DICOM studies used by the Viewer. In the best-case scenario, CLARISO PACS™ would be able to operate safely in spite of such faults. The strategy of CLARISO PACS™ in fault handling is to keep its normal operation as much as it can. The CLARISO PACS™ is intended to work as a standalone service that provides common PACS functionality. The main objective of CLARISO PACS™ is to be a service that can be embedded in other applications that require PACS functionality.
CLARISO PACSTM has four main uses:
- Hard copy replacement: PACS replaces hard-copy based means of managing . medical images, such as film archives.
- Remote access: It expands on the possibilities of conventional systems by providing . capabilities of off-site viewing and reporting (distance education, tele-diagnosis). It enables practitioners in different physical locations to access the same information simultaneously for teleradiology.
- Electronic image integration platform: PACS provides the electronic platform for radiology images interfacing with other medical automation systems such as Hospital Information System (HIS), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Practice Management Software, and Radiology Information System (RIS).
- Radiology Workflow Management: PACS is used by radiology personnel to manage the workflow of patient exams.

Indications for Use: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(5)
CLARISO PACS™ is a software Teleradiology system used to receive DICOM images, scheduling information and textual reports, organize and store them in an internal format, and to make that information available across a network via web and customized user interfaces. CLARISO PACS™ is used by hospitals, imaging centers, radiologist reading practices. CLARISO PACS™ is not intended for the acquisition of mammographic image data and is meant to be used by qualified medical personnel only who are qualified to create and diagnose radiological image data.
Technological Characteristics: 21 CFR 807 92(a){6)
CLARISO PACS™ is a software application that handles and manipulates digital medical images. The device does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed and printed. In general, a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is a medical imaging technology which provides storage of, and convenient access to, images from multiple modalities. Electronic images and reports are transmitted digitally via PACS; this eliminates the need to manually file, retrieve, or transport film jackets. The universal format for PACS image storage and transfer is DICOM 3.x (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). Non-image data, such as scanned documents, may be incorporated using consumer industry standard formats like PDF (Portable Document Format), once encapsulated in DICOM. The new device and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, application, and intended use. The new device does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to the existing legally marketed devices. Both systems have been developed to replace traditional film handling in radiology. The 2 devices are substantially equivalent in the areas of design, architecture, general function, and intended use. The predicate device and the new device are compared below:

Requirements | The new device CLARISO PACS™ requires Google Chrome Browser to view | |
image data. The predicate device, eRAD PACS installs a custom Windows | ||
application to view image data. The new device uses the Google Chrome web | ||
browser. Increasingly, practitioners prefer to use Google Chrome instead of | ||
installing a Windows Application because web browsers are more convenient and | ||
users already know how to use them. The function of the hardware and software | ||
are the same and the use of a Google Chrome web browser in the subject device | ||
does not raise any new potential safety risks. The subject device is equivalent in | ||
performance to existing legally marketed devices and was based upon the | ||
software developed for the predicate eRAD PACS. Therefore, it is our | ||
determination that there is "No impact on safety or efficacy" | ||
36 | Thumbnail viewing | There are slight differences in Thumbnail Viewing, The new device CLARISO |
PACS™ supports three sizes of thumbnails on preview, small, medium and large. | ||
The old device only supports medium sized thumbnails. This difference | ||
differences does not raise any new potential safety risks and gives the user | ||
additional flexibility. The subject device is equivalent in performance to existing | ||
legally marketed devices and was based upon the software developed for the | ||
predicate eRAD PACS. Therefore, it is our determination that there is "No impact | ||
on safety or efficacy" | ||
38 | Audit | The new device adds a tool to view access logs in real time. The predicate device |
eRAD PACS doesn't have this kind of tool. In ERAD PACS audit trails need to be | ||
generated offline with a lag. Since the subject device has real time log access it | ||
gives the user added flexibility and does not raise any new potential safety risks. | ||
The subject device is equivalent in performance to existing legally marketed | ||
devices and was based upon the software developed for the predicate eRAD | ||
PACS. Therefore, it is our determination that there is "No impact on safety or | ||
efficacy" |
