QLAB Advanced Quantification Software is a software application package. It is designed to view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems.
Device Description
Philips QLAB Advanced Quantification software (QLAB) is designed to view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems. QLAB is available either as a stand-alone product that can function on a standard PC, a dedicated workstation, and on-board Philips' ultrasound systems. It can be used for the off-line review and quantification of ultrasound studies. QLAB software provides basic and advanced quantification capabilities across a family of PC and cart based platforms. QLAB software functions through Q-App modules, each of which provides specific capabilities. QLAB builds upon a simple and thoroughly modular design to provide smaller and more easily leveraged products. Philips Ultrasound is submitting this 510(k) to address QLAB 11.0 modifications which include: - Dynamic Heart Model (DHM) an enhancement to the Heart Model Quantification ● application that provides tracking of the entire cardiac cycle - QLAB functionality upgraded to the HSDP Platform 2 from the HSDP Platform 1 ● - O-Store Shared central database supporting multiple clients. .
More Information

No
The document describes software for viewing and quantifying ultrasound images with enhancements to existing quantification methods (Dynamic Heart Model) and platform upgrades. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets for algorithmic performance evaluation.

No
The device is a software application for viewing and quantifying image data from ultrasound systems and does not state any therapeutic function.

Yes

The device quantifies image data from ultrasound systems and provides advanced quantification capabilities which are generally used to assist in diagnosis, especially given the mention of a "Dynamic Heart Model" for cardiac analysis.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "software application package" and "software" throughout the summary. While it processes data from Philips ultrasound systems, the device itself is the software for viewing and quantifying that data, not the ultrasound hardware. It can function on standard PCs, dedicated workstations, and on-board ultrasound systems, indicating its nature as a software layer independent of the underlying hardware platform.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is to "view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems." This describes a device that processes and analyzes medical images obtained from a patient's body, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it works with "image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems" and is used for "off-line review and quantification of ultrasound studies." This is consistent with medical imaging software.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is "ultrasound," which is a medical imaging technique performed on a patient.
  • Anatomical Site: The mention of "cardiac" indicates it's used for imaging the heart, which is an organ within the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This software works with images of the body itself, not samples taken from it.

Summary of Performance Studies

No performance standards for PACS systems or components have been issued under the authority of Section 514. The QLAB 11.0 modifications were tested in accordance with Philips internal processes. Verification and software validation data support the proposed modified QLAB 11.0 software relative to the currently marketed unmodified QLAB software.

Design Control activities to assure the safe and effective performance of the modified O-Apps included, but were not limited to:

  • Requirements Review
  • Design Review
  • Risk Management
  • Software Verification and Validation

Software Verification and Validation testing were used to support substantial equivalence of the modified QLAB 11.0 to the predicate device.

QLAB 11.0 introduces no new indications for use, modes, features, or technologies relative to the predicate device (OLAB 10.8 K171314) that require clinical testing.

Software Verification and Validation activities required established the performance, functionality, and reliability characteristics of the modified QLAB software with respect to the predicate were performed. Testing performed demonstrated that the proposed OLAB 11.0 Advanced Quantification Software meets defined requirements and performance claims.
