More Information

No
The summary describes image processing and quantitative analysis based on Hounsfield Units and segmentation, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The segmentation is described as "semi-automatic," which doesn't necessarily imply AI/ML.

No.
The device is a software tool for quantitative analysis of CT thoracic datasets to support diagnosis and follow-up evaluation; it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section states that the software offers "quantitative support for diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of lung tissue images."

Yes

The device is described as "Vitrea Lung Density Analysis software" and its description focuses entirely on software functionalities for analyzing CT images. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components or hardware-specific testing.

Based on the provided information, the Vitrea Lung Density Analysis software is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this software analyzes CT thoracic datasets, which are medical images of the patient's body, not biological specimens like blood, urine, or tissue samples.
  • The analysis is performed on imaging data. The software processes and analyzes the information contained within the CT scans to provide quantitative data about lung density and volume. This is distinct from analyzing the chemical or biological properties of a specimen.
  • The output is quantitative data derived from images. The software provides CT values, volumes, density indices, and histograms based on the image data. This is different from providing a diagnostic result based on the analysis of a biological sample.

While the software provides "quantitative support for diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of lung tissue images," this support is based on the analysis of imaging data, not on the in vitro examination of a specimen.

Therefore, the Vitrea Lung Density Analysis software falls under the category of medical image processing software rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
