No
The summary describes a medical image viewer with standard image manipulation and display features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any functionality that would typically involve these technologies for image analysis or interpretation.
No
The device aids in diagnosis by displaying and manipulating medical images, it does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that eUnity "aids in diagnosis for healthcare professionals." Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions that when combined with a calibrated monitor, it "can be used to make diagnostic decisions."
Yes
The device is described as a "software application" and a "server-based software solution" that operates within a web-browser. While it relies on external hardware (display monitors, mobile devices), the device itself is the software that performs the image processing, display, and manipulation functions. The description focuses solely on the software's capabilities and does not mention any accompanying hardware components provided by the manufacturer.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that eUnity is a software application that displays medical image data and associated clinical reports to aid in diagnosis for healthcare professionals. It focuses on the display, manipulation, and access of medical images.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's an "enterprise medical image viewer" used to "load, display and manipulate medical (DICOM) images." It emphasizes providing access to images for diagnostic decisions when combined with a calibrated monitor.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. eUnity does not interact with or analyze biological samples. Its input is medical image data.
While eUnity is a medical device used in the diagnostic process, it falls under the category of medical image processing and display software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
eUnity is a software application that displays medical image data and associated clinical reports to aid in diagnosis for healthcare professionals. It performs operations relating to the transfer, storage, display, and measurement of image data.
eUnity allows users to perform image manipulations, including window/level, rotation, measurement and markup. eUnity provides 2D display, Multi-Planar Reformating and 3D visualization of medical image data, and mobile access to images.
eUnity displays both lossless and lossy compressed images. For lossy images, the medical professional user must determine if the level of loss is acceptable for their purposes. Display monitors or mobile devices used for reading medical images for diagnostic purposes must comply with applicable regulatory approvals and with quality control requirements for their use and maintenance. For mobile diagnostic usage when a full workstation is not available.
Mobile usage for mammography is for reference and referral only.

Device Description
Client Outlook has developed eUnity to load, display and manipulate medical (DICOM) images within a web-browser without installing client software. eUnity is a server-based software solution that extends common web-browsers on the most popular operating systems into medical review stations; removing a technical barrier that had long been a key contributor to poor medical image access.
eUnity is an enterprise medical image viewer that provides access to full quality images from anywhere using nothing more than a standard web browser. Combined with a calibrated monitor, it can be used to make diagnostic decisions. Secure, fast, immediate access to information means less time spent searching for specialized workstations and supports greater efficiency for care, greater collaboration, and faster turnaround times.
This device is the successor to eUnity predicate (K161515) and adds the following functionality: MIP/MPR/3D and Mobile Diagnostic Use.
The following devices are validated for use with eUnity for Mobile:
iPhone version 6 and higher versions, iPad Mini and higher versions, iPad pro and higher versions, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and higher versions, and Samsung Galaxy Tab E and higher versions.

Verification testing executed by multiple team members included functional, smoke and regression tests and was complimented by beta tests performed by Client Outlook partners and Validation in test systems at customer sites.
Additional Clinical Validation testing based on typical clinical workflows was performed by trained radiologists in comparison with an existing device and on several different hardware devices. There was consensus among all the Radiologists that the same diagnosis would be made on the mobile device with eUnity as on the predicate device in various lighting conditions.

§ 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 Christie Eby:
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.

Summary of Testing and conclusion
As required by the Risk Analysis, designated individuals performed all verification and validation activities and results demonstrated that the device meets its design requirements and intended use, and that it is safe and effective. Verification testing executed by multiple team members included functional, smoke and regression tests and was complimented by beta tests performed by Client Outlook partners and Validation in test systems at customer sites.
Additional Clinical Validation testing based on typical clinical workflows was performed by trained radiologists in comparison with an existing device and on several different hardware devices. Refer to the Validation Summaries in Section 12 for additional information. There was consensus among all the Radiologists that the same diagnosis would be made on the mobile device with eUnity as on the predicate device in various lighting conditions.
Conclusion:
The Intended use and technological characteristics of the Client Outlook eUnity software are substantially equivalent, in our opinion, to those of the predicate device and reference devices and do not pose any new issues of safety and effectiveness. The device and the predicates are post-processing and provide the same or similar essential features of visualization of radiological data on mobile devices.
The modified eUnity device offers the same functionality as the K161515 eUnity device with the addition of the Mobile enhanced capabilities and 3D viewing capabilities that are found in the Reference Predicate device.
