The document describes an image processing algorithm (FICE) that extracts spectral components and assigns colors based on wavelength. While this is a form of image processing, there is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning-based approach in the description of the algorithm or its development. The performance study focuses on reader concurrence and image quality comparison, not on the performance of a predictive or classification model.
Yes
Explanation: The device is used for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, which are therapeutic applications. It is also used to enhance color contrast to improve visibility of selected structures, borders of areas of interest, which aids in diagnosis and ultimately treatment.
Yes
The intended use explicitly states that the VP-4440HD unit is used for endoscopic observation and diagnosis. Additionally, the FICE feature is described as an adjunctive tool to supplement white light endoscopy and potentially improve the visibility of structures and areas of interest.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components: a video processor housed in a steel-polycarbonate case, a light source also housed in a steel-polycarbonate case, and a physical keyboard. While the device utilizes software for image processing (FICE), it is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, the VP-4440HD unit 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 diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- VP-4440HD Function: The VP-4440HD unit is used for processing electronic signals from a video endoscope to display images for direct visual observation, diagnosis, treatment, and recording within the body. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "for endoscopic observation, diagnosis, treatment, and image recording" and "to process electronic signals transmitted from a video endoscope)". This describes an in-vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in-vitro (in glass/outside the body) analysis.
- Device Description: The description details how the device works with an endoscope to provide illumination and display images of the internal anatomy.
- FICE Feature: While FICE is an image processing algorithm that enhances the visual information, it is still processing images obtained directly from the internal anatomy via the endoscope, not from a collected specimen.
Therefore, the VP-4440HD unit falls under the category of a medical device used for in-vivo procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
This system is intended to be used in coniunction with Fuiifilm endoscopes to provide illumination, visual display and data storage during endoscopic procedures.
The EPX-4440HD Digital Video Processor with FICE and light source consists of three components used in conjunction with one another:
The VP-4440HD Video Processor: The Processor relays the image from the endoscope to a video monitor. Projection can be either analog or digital at the user's preference. The Processor incorporates internal or external digital storage capacity. The Processor also controls the light projected to the body cavity. The Processor provides for optional structural enhancement at the user's option. Spectral and structural enhancements are achieved through proprietary software. The device is AC operated at a power setting of 120V/60MzJ0.8A. The Processor is housed in a steel-polycarbonate case measuring 390x105x460mm.
The XL-4450 Light Source: The Fujinon/Fujifilm endoscope employs fiber bundles to transmit light from the light source and subsequently to the body cavity. The Light Source employs a 300W Xenon lamp with a 75W emergency back-up Halogen lamp. Brightness control is performed by the user. The device is AC operated at a power setting of 120V/60MzJ3.3A. The Light Source is housed in a steel-polycarbonate case measuring 390x155x450mm.
The DK-4440E Keyboard: The Keyboard is used to enter pertinent procedural information (patient, physician, date, etc.) for display on the video monitor and digital/analog storage systems. The Keyboard is also used to control operational features of the VP-4440HD Processor. The Keyboard resembles a standard computer keyboard in size and shape.
The VP-4440HD Digital Video Processor with FICE and light source is the same as the cleared EPX-4440HD Digital Video Processor and Light source (K102466) device, with the exception of the addition of the imaging algorithm termed "FICE" (Flexible spectral-Imaging Color Enhancement). As with the predicate device, the subject processor receives an image from the endoscope via a connector cable. The subject processor is capable of bi-directional communication that allows importation and exportation of various patient and procedural data between EMR (Electronic Medical Record) systems.
FICE is an image processing feature that a licensed medical practitioner (user) can utilize, as an adiunctive tool, to supplement the white light endoscopic examination. FICE extracts spectral images of specific wavelength components from the original full spectral (white light) image through an image processing algorithm that, assigns a spectral wavelength component in the Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) spectrum and displays the enhanced color image. FICE may enhance color contrast to improve visibility of the selected structures, borders of areas of interests.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The FICE feature was evaluated in a prospective clinical trial to objectively assess the overall image quality of each of the FICE presets in comparison to optical filtering of the white light source. The study design was a reader concurrence study designed in accordance with the FDA document "Guidance on Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices, and consisted of two parts: (1) acquisition of images; and (2) reader study. Each subject underwent two (2) gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations during a single clinical procedure, one with the Olympus EVIS EXERA II 180 System (White Light Imaging (WLI) and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)), and one with the subject Fuiifilm EPX-4440HD Digital Video Processor and compatible videoendoscope (WLI and all 10 FICE modes). Images were taken from different anatomic locations within the gastrointestinal tract (i.e., colon, duodenum, esophagus, or gastric region), and analyzed independently by multiple blinded investigators using a 4-point Likert scale.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing:
The EPX-4440HD Digital Video Processor is non-sterile and has no potential for patient contact. Testing of the VP-4440HD with FICE consisted of software validation in accordance with IEC 62304 and electrical safety in accordance with IEC 60601 requirements.

Performance Testing
Non-clinical testing:
The EPX-4440HD Digital Video Processor is non-sterile and has no potential for patient contact. Testing of the VP-4440HD with FICE consisted of software validation in accordance with IEC 62304 and electrical safety in accordance with IEC 60601 requirements. Functional testing of the FICE image processing feature included contrast enhancement, dynamic range, resolution, noise, artifact creation, and color reproduction. All testing criteria were met, and in all instances the device functioned as intended.
