No
The document describes image registration and fusion software, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections.
No
The device aids in the visual evaluation, comparison, and merging of medical imaging data for diagnostic and planning purposes, but does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that IGTFusion is an "aid during use by diagnostic radiology" and for "other medical Specialties," which strongly suggests its involvement in the diagnostic process. While it clarifies it's not for "mammography diagnosis" and "does not replace the usual procedures for visual comparison," its primary role is to assist in the interpretation and comparison of medical images for patient evaluation, which is a key component of diagnosis.
Yes
The device is described as a "stand-alone software product" and its function is solely related to the display, registration, and fusing of medical images. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components or hardware-specific functions.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that IGTFusion is a "stand-alone software product that provides the physician 3 means for comparison of medical imaging data". It is used as an "aid during use by diagnostic radiology, oncology, radiation therapy planning, interventional radiology and other medical Specialties". This describes a tool for image processing and visualization, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that the purpose is to "assist the user with the visual evaluation, comparison, and merging of information between anatomical and functional images". It explicitly states it "does not replace the usual procedures for visual comparison of datasets by a user". This further indicates it's a tool for image analysis, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific biomarkers, or providing a diagnosis based on laboratory results. The input is medical imaging data (CT, PET, MR), not biological specimens.
IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. IGTFusion does not fit this definition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
IGTFusion is a stand-alone software product that provides the physician 3 means for comparison of medical imaging data from multiple DICOM conformant imaging modality sources. It allows the display, registration and fusing of medical images as an aid during use by diagnostic radiology, oncology, radiation therapy planning, interventional radiology and other medical Specialties. IGTFusion is not intended for mammography diagnosis.

Device Description
The purpose of IGTFusion is to assist the user with the visual evaluation, comparison, and merging of information between anatomical and functional images from a single patient. The user needs to take into consideration the product's limitations and accuracy when integration from the registration results for final interpretation. IGTFusion does not replace the usual procedures for visual comparison of datasets by a user. Fusion images are intended to provide additional information to a user's existing workflow for patient evaluation.
The potential hazards associated with this software product are no different from those of other PACS components and may be variously obviated by decisions made by the user of the product. None of these failures are expected to contribute to patient death or injury. In consequence, IGTFusion is considered to have no adverse effect on health since the results represent only a part of the information that a user will utilize for final interpretation. In this regard, IGT Fusion represents a moderate level of concern with respect to patient safety.

§ 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)

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
Discussion of Technological Similarities:
IGTFusion, Mirada RTx and VelocityAlS have the same visualization capabilities, registration, DICOM Compliance and each has a Graphical User Interface.
IGTFusion and VelocityAlS both have same reporting capabilities.
Discussion of Technological Differences:
While the core features of IGTFusion match with existing predicate devices, the packaging of how those features are delivered are different. Instead of providing a complex workstation with many extra features for interaction and visualization, IGTFusion provides only the essential representations to streamline the process of utilizing fusion visualization. Instead of requiring a clinician to sit at a workstation or log on remotely to a software GUI, IGTFusion is more like a fusion appliance, providing quick fusion visualization with a minimum of interaction required. After a floating image is selected, clinicians may push a series of interest from PACS or even directly from imaging equipment for quick visualization. Such minimal activity also lends itself more easily into larger workflow processing pipelines which are generating and consuming images for more complex applications. This approach is founded on our image registration engine which has been extensively tested to show that is as accurate existing solutions without the need of extra tools. This general approach also lends itself to avoiding advanced visualization features such volume rendering and annotations, which strictly enhance (i.e. are not required for) image fusion. These differences raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion:
The proposed device (IGTFusion) does not result in any new potential safety risk and performs in accordance with its intended use as well as comparatively with the intended use of the chosen predicates. We conclude that IGTFusion is as safe and effective as the predicate device and poses no unanswered questions regarding safety and efficacy.
