Intended Use

Mint Lesion is a software solution intended to be used for viewing, manipulation, storage, 3Dvisualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging multiple time-points. Mint Lesion is a software only medical device which will be delivered on CDROM / DVD to be installed by trained service personnel.

Mint Lesion is a medical diagnostic application for viewing, manipulation and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging modalities and/or multiple time-points. The application supports functional data, such as PET or SPECT as well as anatomical datasets, such as CT or MR. The images can be viewed in a number of output formats including MPR, MIP and volume rendering.

Mint Lesion enables visualization of information that would otherwise have to be visually compared disjointedly. Mint Lesion provides analytical tools to help the user assess, and document the stage of a disease and/or the response to therapy in accordance with user selected standards. Mint Lesion supports the interpretation and evaluation of examinations and follow up documentation of findings within healthcare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Oncology, and Nuclear Medicine environments.

Note: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unregistered images. Mint Lesion is a complement to these standard procedures. Mint Lesion is not to be used in mammography.

Device Description

mint Lesion™ is a software based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) used with general purpose computing hardware for the display and visualization of medical image data. It runs on either a native or a virtualized Microsoft Windows platform.

mint Lesion™ functionality provides for communication, storage, processing, rendering, and display of DICOM compliant image data derived from various sources including anatomical datasets (e.g. CT, MRI) and functional datasets (e.g. PET), lesion measurement, tabulation and summation of measurements, lesion categorization and standard evaluation in accordance with radiological staging and response criteria, and generation of a structured report. The user controls these functions with a system of interactive menus and tools.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the specific details about acceptance criteria, the study proving the device meets those criteria, or the detailed information regarding sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case studies.

The document is a 510(k) premarket notification acceptance letter and a summary of the device mint Lesion. It focuses on:

  • Substantial Equivalence: Comparing mint Lesion to predicate devices (OncoTrac and Syngo.via MI Workflows) to demonstrate that it is as safe and effective.
  • Intended Use: Describing the device's purpose for viewing, manipulating, storing, 3D-visualizing, and comparing medical images for assessment, staging, and documenting disease and therapy response.
  • General Information: Manufacturer details, classifications, and regulatory compliance.

While it mentions that "The mint Lesion™ software has been extensively tested on Windows 64 bit systems by members of the development and quality control teams" and that "Verification and Validation activities have been successfully performed," it does not provide any quantitative data, specific acceptance criteria, or details of any clinical or performance studies.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or provide answers to the specific questions you've asked based on the provided text.

§ 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)
