Intended Use
GenIQ is an automated post-processing software option that is indicated for use on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging data sets to generate parametric image intensity variations over time. This dynamic change in signal intensity is used to calculate functional parameters related to tissue flow and leakage of the contrast agent from the intravascular to the extracellular space. GenIQ provides information that when interpreted by a trained physician, can be useful for assessing tissue vascular properties.
Device Description
GenIQ is a software application used for the pharmacokinetic analysis of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI data sets. The application is used to perform a General Kinetic Model (GKM)-based pharmacokinetic modeling of DCE-MRI data. The goal of GenIQ is to extract functional parameters describing tissue vascular properties such as forward and backward transfer constants, plasma volume, and volume of extra-cellular space.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on pharmacokinetic modeling using a General Kinetic Model (GKM), which is a traditional mathematical approach, and does not mention AI or ML terms.

No
The device provides information for assessing tissue vascular properties, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease. It functions as a post-processing software for diagnostic imaging.

Yes

The device processes medical imaging data to calculate functional parameters related to tissue flow and contrast agent leakage, which are used by a trained physician to assess tissue vascular properties. This information aids in the diagnosis or assessment of medical conditions.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that GenIQ is a "software application" used for analysis of existing MRI data. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components or hardware-specific functions.

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: GenIQ processes imaging data (MRI), not biological samples. It analyzes the dynamic changes in signal intensity within the body after the administration of a contrast agent.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to generate parametric images and calculate functional parameters related to tissue flow and contrast agent leakage, which are interpreted by a physician to assess tissue vascular properties. This is a form of medical image analysis, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, GenIQ falls under the category of medical image processing software rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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 Ms. Wong:

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.
