ViewPoint 6 is image archiving and reporting software used for diagnostic interpretation of images and data, not for treating conditions.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that "ViewPoint 6 is intended to be used... for diagnostic interpretation of images" and "The medical images, which ViewPoint 6 displays to the user, can be used for diagnostic purposes." The "Device Description" also mentions it is "used for diagnostic interpretation of images and other data."
Yes
The device description explicitly states "ViewPoint 6 is an image archiving and reporting software" and details its functionality as software installed on a computer with defined hardware requirements, without mentioning any accompanying or integrated hardware components provided by the manufacturer.
Based on the provided information, ViewPoint 6 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used in vitro (outside the body).
- ViewPoint 6's Function: ViewPoint 6 is described as image archiving and reporting software primarily for diagnostic ultrasound. It processes and displays medical images and data, allows for measurements and annotations on these images, and generates reports based on this information.
- Focus on Images, Not Specimens: The core function of ViewPoint 6 is centered around the interpretation and management of medical images (specifically ultrasound in this case), not the analysis of biological specimens.
Therefore, ViewPoint 6 falls under the category of medical imaging software or a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) component, rather than an IVD.

Device Description
ViewPoint 6 is an image archiving and reporting software for medical practices and clinical radiological departments. It is used for diagnostic interpretation of images and other data.
ViewPoint 6 is for professional use only and enables quick diagnostic reporting with standardized terminology. It has an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and is based on Microsoft Windows® with defined hardware requirements for the user to install on their computer.
ViewPoint 6 provides exam type specific reporting forms for various medical care areas. Forms are composed of different sections with data entry fields. The documentation can include measurements, exam findings, images, and graphs. All data is saved in the ViewPoint 6 database and can be compiled to a professional report. Images and image sequences can be reviewed in the ViewPoint 6 display area based on user preference.
ViewPoint 6 supports both a single workstation and a clientserver setup. The number of user licenses determines how many workstations in the network have concurrent access to the database. Access can be limited to read-only functionality.

(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. Ortiz:
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.
