No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and describes the device as a general purpose digital medical image processing tool with optional functionality for visualization and measurement, similar to predicate devices. The new features like automated bone removal and stenosis measurement are described as image processing techniques, not explicitly AI/ML.
No
The device is a visualization package for PACS workstations intended to support medical professionals in the reading, analysis, and diagnosis of medical datasets, and it explicitly states that web-browser access "should not be used to arrive at a diagnosis, treatment plan, or other decision that may affect patient care." This indicates it's a diagnostic aid, not a therapeutic device.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The software is intended to support radiographer, medical imaging technician, radiologist and referring physician in the reading, analysis and diagnosis of DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets." However, it also explicitly states: "Web-browser access is available for review purposes. It should not be used to arrive at a diagnosis, treatment plan, or other decision that may affect patient care." This contradiction, especially the latter statement limiting its use for diagnosis, makes it not a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device is described as "IMPAX Volume Viewing software" and its function is image processing and visualization of medical datasets. The description focuses on software features and comparisons to predicate software devices. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the medical device itself.
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 the software is a "visualization package for PACS workstations" and is intended to "support radiographer, medical imaging technician, radiologist and referring physician in the reading, analysis and diagnosis of DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets." It focuses on image processing, visualization, and measurement of anatomical features.
- 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. This device does not perform any such tests on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device description reinforces that it is a PACS system accessory for viewing and manipulating 3D image data sets.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples. Its input is DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets (images).
Therefore, the IMPAX Volume Viewing software, as described, falls under the category of medical imaging software and not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The new device is similar to the predicate devices. All are PACS system accessories that allow the user to view and manipulate 3D image data sets. This new version includes automated removal of bone-like structures, stenosis measurement and web-browser access.
Principles of operation and technological characteristics of the new and predicate devices are the same.
IMPAX Volume Viewing 3.0 is an accessory to Agfa's IMPAX PACS systems. It is a general purpose medical image processing tool for the reading and analysis of 3D image datasets. It is the successor to Agfa's Volume Viewing 2.0 (K 111638) and adds the following new functionality: it allows the user to automatically remove bone-like structures to facilitate viewing of soft tissue such as vessels; it allows the user to measure vessel stenosis and to access medical datasets for review purposes through a web-browser.
It is a tool for conveniently viewing and manipulating cross-sectional image series' for display in any orientation and slice thickness. A second series can be registered or fused to the first automatically, manually or with user defined landmarks. Segmentation of blood vessels and airfilled structures facilitate the visualization of vessel features. Color maps, subtraction views, multiple screen layouts and tools for measurement, calculations are provided.
Volume measurement features are present in the previously cleared IMPAX Volume Viewing 2.0. To the range of available volume measurement methods Agfa added semi-automatic region growing. This feature was ported from Agfa's Registration and Fusion application (K080013).
Anaglyphic images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with glasses where the two lenses are different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, such as red and cyan. Images are made up of two color layers, superimposed, but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. The stereoscopic 3D view is available next to the "regular" 3D view. A user can toggle the image from the regular 3D view to stereo 3D. Tests by medical professionals showed that there are no specific medical or clinical benefits to using the stereoscopic 3D view. It is perceived as useful to train medical students, but has no new clinical benefits in comparison to the "regular" 3D view.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Concept tests involving 6 medical professionals of 4 different hospitals in Belgium and the Netherlands were asked to score stereoscopic 3D viewing in comparison to "regular" 3D viewing on an earlier version of the product.
The application was validated in test labs and hospitals in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland and Belgium. 29 medical professionals participated in the validation using 154 anonymized clinical studies.
The web browser component was validated by 11 medical professionals using 42 anonymized clinical data sets. The examiners focused on the usability of features and functionalities for the purpose of non-diagnostic review of CT and MR data sets using 3D and multi planar reconstructions.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Verification and validation testing confirm the device meets performance, measurement and usability requirements. No clinical trials were performed in the development of the device.
Regression testing assured the different measurement algorithms still provide the same output as the predicates Volume Viewing 2.0 (K111638) and Registration and Fusion (K080013). Testers made identical measurements of diameters, areas and volumes and compared those against reference values. Results met the established acceptance criteria of +/- scanner resolution (for dataset uncertainty).
The filing of the Volume Viewing 2.0 predicate release (K111638) included measurement accuracy tests comparing vessel diameter and area measurements made against that of the predicate Voxar 3D Enterprise.
The filing of the Registration and Fusion predicate release (K080013) included measurement accuracy tests comparing volumes selected by the semi-automatic region growing against the equivalent to Mirage 5.5 (K043441) manufactured by Segami Corporation.
The tests also included crosshair position tests to verify whether viewports link to the same location in every dataset. Results met the established acceptance criteria of half a voxel (for rounding differences across graphic video cards).
Concept tests involving 6 medical professionals concluded that both stereoscopic 3D viewing and "regular" 3D viewing methods are equivalent, but that there is no distinct medical or clinical benefit to using the stereoscopic 3D view over the "regular" 3D viewing, other than being a useful tool to train medical students.
Objectives of the validation (29 medical professionals, 154 anonymized clinical studies):
- If the centerline computation in contrast-filled vessels can be adequately traced and if vessels can be adequately visualized in CT angiography vessel tracking. (Done via a side-by-side comparison with the IMPAX Volume Viewing 2.2 predicate).
- If the user can determine the amount of stenosis in an artery (Done via a side-by-side comparison with the Voxar 3D predicate).
- If bone-like structures in CT angiography datasets of the thorax. abdomen, pelvis and upper/lower extremities are adequately removed from view" (done via a side-by-side comparison with the Voxar predicate).
- If the user can perform volume measurements through manual slice-by-slice contouring or through (semi-) automated segmentation in a user friendly and intuitive way.
- If the Image quality of the 2D and 3D image rendering algorithms is adequate (Done via a side-by-side comparison with the IMPAX Volume Viewing 2.2 predicate).
A scoring scale was implemented and acceptance criteria established. Results met acceptance criteria.
No clinical testing was performed in the development of the new device.
