The summary describes a standard PACS software for image storage, communication, processing, and display, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, algorithms for image analysis beyond basic processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.
No.
The device is described as a software suite for handling, transmitting, and viewing DICOM images, primarily for diagnostic review and communication, not for directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "Lossy compressed mammographic images are not intended for diagnostic review. Mammographic images should only be viewed with a monitor approved by FDA for viewing mammographic images. For primary diagnosis, post process DICOM "for presentation" images must be used." This indicates that while it handles images used for diagnosis, the software itself is not for diagnostic review and imposes conditions for "primary diagnosis," implying it's a tool for image management rather than a diagnostic device itself.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "EXA™ is a software device" and "EXA™ is a software suite of web based PACS applications". While it interacts with hardware (CT scanners, monitors, computers), the device itself, as described, is the software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- 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.
- Device function: The description clearly states that EXA™ is a software device that receives, stores, communicates, processes, and displays digital images and data from various imaging modalities (CT, ultrasound, etc.). It deals with medical images, not biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for viewing and managing medical images for diagnostic review (with specific caveats for mammography). This is a function related to medical imaging, not in vitro testing.
The device is a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) software, which is a type of medical device used in radiology and other medical imaging departments.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
EXA™ is a software device that receives digital images and data from various sources (i.e. CT scanners, ultrasound systems, R/F Units, computed & direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways or other imaging sources). Images and data can be stored, communicated, processed and displayed within the system and or across computer networks at distributed locations. Lossy compressed mammographic images are not intended for diagnostic review. Mammographic images should only be viewed with a monitor approved by FDA for viewing mammographic images. For primary diagnosis, post process DICOM "for presentation" images must be used. Typical users of this system are trained professionals, nurses, and technicians.

Device Description
EXA™ is a software suite of web based PACS applications that was developed specifically to handle the DICOM protocol, for both transmitting and viewing DICOM images and data elements. The applications were developed so that access to the PACS can occur from any Microsoft Windows computer with internet capabilities, and offer an interface that users find to be quite intuitive after some initial learning. (Not intended for use on mobile devices) The EXA™ applications deal with all manner of DICOM images and modalities, including MR, CT, CR, US, MG and many others. These images can be viewed, annotated, transmitted to other facilities, printed, animated and stored using the EXA™ RAD suite.

§ 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. Kamm:
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.
