The summary describes a medical image viewer and collaboration tool. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on displaying and sharing images, not on automated analysis or interpretation using AI/ML.
No
The device is a software-based viewer for medical images intended for diagnostic and clinical decision-making support, not for directly treating a condition or disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to enable trained healthcare professionals to perform a diagnostic review on a workstation" and "to aid their clinical decision-making process."
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "software application" and is used with "off-the-shelf servers, web browsers, and specific mobile devices," indicating it does not include proprietary hardware.
Based on the provided information, the Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this software is for the display and review of medical images (DICOM and non-DICOM), reports, and multimedia content. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- The purpose is image display and review for clinical decision-making. While it aids in clinical decision-making, this is based on interpreting images, not on analyzing in vitro samples.
- The device description focuses on connecting to PACS/VNA and displaying images. This aligns with the function of a medical image viewer, not an IVD device.
Therefore, the Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer falls under the category of medical image viewing software, not an IVD.

Device Description
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer is an enterprise medical image viewer software application used with off-the-shelf servers, web browsers, and specific mobile devices for the 2D & 3D display of DICOM and non-DICOM medical images, reports, and multimedia content.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer is intended to connect to an existing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) or Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) and is used to display medical images of multiple for clinical review, sharing and collaboration purposes.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer enables users to view medical images via a web browser. Images are acquired to Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer from a connected PACS or vendor neutral archive (VNA) and loaded temporarily into memory on a centralized server. The users interact with the server-based application via a browser to view the images.
Users are able to launch the application from an EMR/EHR system with access to a specific patient context encoded into an URL. Users are also able to launch the application by login into the application for authentication purposes and then search any patient of interest to launch the corresponding patient context.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer consists of configurable software-only modules that display and process digital medical images, digital medical video and associated medical information to aid in the day-to-day operations and workflow of clinicians and healthcare practitioners. The software modules include a web browser based medical image viewer and a suite of supporting backend services that access medical images and documents from a variety of sources within the healthcare enterprise. The data from these sources is processed by Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer in view of preparing visualizations to be rendered by the viewer.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer utilizes authorization and authentication mechanisms, and requires authorized users to access the imaging data. Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer tracks user activity via audit trails and store the data on the centralized server device. Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer does not store patient health information, which persists only while the web browser tab displaying the information is active.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer provides end-users with the ability for specialized features such as Window/ Level, Image Flip and Rotate, Invert Intensities, Image Measurements, Annotations, Orientation Label, or Keyboard shortcuts. Measurements and annotations saved from another viewing system as Greyscale Softcopy Presentation State (GSPS) are displayed by default.
Images in Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer are initially displayed in the 2D view mode, but the view mode can be toggled to 3D/MPR at any time in the image viewer. Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer supports processing and displaying Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). In this view mode Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer provides capability to view a series for different thickness. Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer provides methods of navigating the data similarly in 2D and 3D views.
Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer uses built-in image quality adjustment mechanism which provides users with the best resolution that can be handled by the displayed device. Change Healthcare Enterprise Viewer also supports Cine mode which automatically scrolls through images at the current window/level and zoom settings.

(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)
