No
The document describes standard image processing and analysis techniques, such as time-series analysis, diffusion analysis, segmentation (user-assisted), and reporting. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The term "Computer Aided Detection (CAD)" is used, but in this context, it refers to software tools that assist the user, not necessarily those employing AI/ML for detection.
No
The device is described as post-processing software tool intended for viewing, reviewing, and reporting imaging files, providing information for screening, analysis, and interventional planning, rather than directly treating a condition.
Yes
The intended use explicitly states, "When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information that is intended to be used for screening, analysis, and interventional planning," which are all functions of a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "standalone Computer Aided Detection (CAD) software" and its functions are entirely software-based image processing, analysis, and reporting. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, ProFuse CAD is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, outside of the body. They provide information about a person's health status, including diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- ProFuse CAD's Function: ProFuse CAD is a software tool that processes and analyzes medical images (MR, CT, PET, Ultrasound) acquired directly from the patient's body. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that it is for viewing, reviewing, and reporting imaging files and evaluating tissue characteristics based on imaging data. It is used as a tool to review and add to the results of interventional procedures, not to analyze biological samples.
Therefore, ProFuse CAD falls under the category of medical imaging software or a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) component with advanced processing capabilities, rather than an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
ProFuse CAD is a post-processing software tool intended for viewing, reviewing and reporting imaging files such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR), Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies.
The software is able to process time series modality data acquired before, during, and after a contrast agent has been administered to the patient. The software allows a physician to evaluate tissue characteristics based on contrast enhancement visible on the time series data can also be processed to get subtraction image time -series with any reference time point.
ProFuse CAD also provides capability to process a specialized MRI series called diffusion weighted imaging to evaluate tissue characteristics based on water diffusion. Some of the other posts -processing features include multi-planar reformats and registration between images.
ProFuse CAD has a marking feature that allows the user to outline organs with minimal input and also annotate regions in the image in 3D. The software also allows for grading the annotated regions as defined by the user. After review, the software automatically generates a patient report that provides information like; organ volume, annotations; and grading along with automatically generated screenshots of the annotations in different images.
Planned data from ProFuse CAD can be used for interventional procedures like MR - TRUS fusion biopsies. The data can be displayed on medical device data systems.
ProFuse CAD is used as a tool to review and add to the results of interventional procedures like; adding pathology information when reviewing MR-TRUS fusion biopsy.
When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information that is intended to be used for screening, analysis, and interventional planning. Patient management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of ProFuse CAD.
ProFuse CAD is intended to be used as an image viewer of multi-modality, digital images, including Ultrasound, CT, PET.
ProFuse CAD is intended to be used in a variety of setting such as; medical offices, clinics, hospital, and home office.

Device Description
ProFuse CAD is standalone Computer Aided Detection (CAD) software that is used by radiologists to visualize, analyze, plan and interpret medical images using tools available in the software. Some of the tools in the software are
- Visualization: The software allows simultaneous visualization of different images with the ability to view them in different orientations e.g. transverse, sagittal, coronal and 3D.
- Organ segmentation: The software allows user to outline the organ of interest (e.g. prostate)
- Image annotation: The software allows user to mark regions of interest (ROI) on images
- Time-series analysis: The software allows user to view the time-curve plots for a single location or average over a region (ROI). The user could also calculate different parametric maps based on pharmacokinetic modeling. The parametric maps could be viewed as a separate series or be overlaid as color on another series. The software also allows users to calculate subtracting images from a customizable user defined time point.
- Diffusion series analysis: Diffusion weighted series is a special type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence that measures diffusion of water molecules in the body. A set of different diffusion weighted images are obtained and from the set of images the software allows the user to fit different mathematical models to extract different parametric maps. The parametric maps could be viewed as a separate series or be overlaid as color on another series.
- Report: The software allows the user to create reports following either the PIRADS (see definition) standard or a customizable standard.
- Export: The software allows the planned images to be exported for different procedures e.g. biopsy, therapy, etc. Information exported by ProFuse CAD could then be used in other software solutions like ProFuse Bx, ProFuse FP.
- Review: Review, add and modify data from the 3D visualization software (Artemis). The data includes acquired volume, organ segmentation, planned and recorded biopsy location and pathology information.

Image /page/8/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "eigen" in a sans-serif font. The word is light blue and is set against a teal background. The letters are evenly spaced and the word is horizontally oriented.
ProFuse CAD is build off our previous version, which was 510(k) cleared and contains all of the features in that version. The previous version had the trade name of ProFuse and was all so know as Multi-Modality Image Fusion (MMIF).
Testing and Performance Data:
All product and engineering specifications were verified and validated. Test phantoms incorporating simulated prostates were used only for volume estimation accuracy studies. Simulated and retrospective clinical data were used for verification of the diffusion and perfusion analysis tools.
Safety and Effectiveness
ProFuse CAD labeling contains instructions for use and necessary cautions, warnings and notes to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk Management is ensured via ProFuse CAD IRisk Management procedure, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled via the product (software) development process, verification and validation testing.
Nonclinical Testing and Performance Information
Nonclinical and performance testing has been performed by designated individuals as required by Eigen's quality procedures. Verification & Validation Test Plans were designed to evaluate all input functions, output functions, and actions performed by ProFuse CAD in each operational mode. ProFuse CAD has been assessed and tested at the manufacturer's facility and has passed all in-house testing criteria including validating design, function and specifications. Measurement validation using, phantoms, clinical images were used to show that ProFuse CAD preforms as well as or better than the other primary and referenced predicate devices and furthermore shows that ProFuse CAD was safe and effective. Nonclinical and performance testing results are provided in the 510(k) and demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria are met. ProFuse CAD has been designed to comply with applicable standards.
