No.
The device's intended use is for diagnostic review and analysis of ultrasound images, not for treating any medical condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "is intended for diagnostic review and analysis of ultrasound images".
Yes
The device description explicitly states "EchoPAC Software Only will be offered as SW-only to be installed directly on customer PC hardware". This indicates a software-only distribution model, separate from the original ultrasound scanner hardware.
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 EchoPAC Software Only / EchoPAC Plug-in is described as software for the review, analysis, and management of ultrasound images. Ultrasound is an imaging modality that uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures. It does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "diagnostic review and analysis of ultrasound images," not the analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A

(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)
