The summary describes standard image post-processing techniques and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training data.
No.
The device is a post-processing software that aids in interpreting images and supporting clinical decision-making; it does not directly treat or manage a disease or condition.
Yes
Explanation: The device aids in reading and interpreting cardiovascular MR images, visualizes and evaluates blood flow, and provides functionality for segmentation, signal intensity analysis, and quantification to "support clinical decision making" and "support diagnoses," which are key aspects of diagnostic devices.
Yes
The device is described as a "software package" that runs on a standard PC with a Windows operating system and processes DICOM MR images. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device function: CAAS MR Solutions processes and analyzes images of the human body (MR images), not biological specimens. It aids in interpreting these images and evaluating blood flow within the body.
The device's function aligns with medical image processing and analysis software, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Device Description
CAAS MR Solutions is an image post-processing software package which offers functionality to import DICOM MR images, to segment cardiovascular structures in these images, to visualize and evaluate blood flow in cardiovascular structures, to analyze and quantify these cardiovascular structures and to present the analysis results in different formats.
CAAS MR Solutions is designed as a stand-alone software package to run on a PC with a Windows operating system. It can read DICOM MR images from an accessible file system, hard disk (local directory), or (indirectly) received from the MR or PACS system. CAAS MR Solutions provides the functionality to import the DICOM MR images and to organize the found DICOM MR images into patients, studies and series.
CAAS MR Solutions is composed out of analysis workflows of its previously cleared devices: CAAS MRV, CAAS MR Flow and CAAS MR 4D Flow. CAAS MR Solutions comprises their respective functionalities for viewing and quantification of cardiovascular MR images. In addition, CAAS MR Solutions offers new functionality for signal intensity analysis of the myocardium and for MR parametric maps for T1 relaxation. The CAAS MR Solutions product has a moderate level of concern.
Results can be displayed on the screen, printed or saved in a variety of formats to hard disk, network, PACS system or CD. Results and clinical images with overlay can also be printed as a hardcopy and exported in various electronic formats.

When the results provided by CAAS MR Solutions are used in a clinical setting to support diagnoses, the results are explicitly not to be regarded as the sole, irrefutable basis for clinical decision making.
Substantial equivalence
Four devices have been selected as predicates devices for CAAS MRV, CAAS MRV, CAAS MR Flow, CAAS MR 4D Flow and MR-CT VVA. All selected devices have technological features and characteristics comparable to CAAS MR Solutions and are intended to be used or under supervision of a cardiologist to support clinical decision making of cardiovascular conditions.
CAAS MR Solutions provides functionalities for segmentation of cardiovascular structures (i.e. the heart) semiautomatically, automatically or manually and for quantification of the functional and regional parameters of the heart ventricles. Further it offers functionality to quantify MR parametric maps for T2 and T2* relaxation values. All these functionalities are also supported by the predicate device CAAS MRV.
CAAS MR Solutions features functionalities for segmentation of the blood vessels and analysis and quantification of the blood flow in vessels and through heart valves in phase-contrast MR images semi-automatically or manually. These functionalities are supported by the predicate devices CAAS MR Flow for 2D MR images (single plane, velocity-encoded) and CAAS MR 4D Flow for 4D MR images (multi-slice, multi-phase, velocity-encoded).
CAAS MR Solutions provides functionality for signal intensity analysis of the myocardium which is supported by MR-CT VVA. Further it offers functionality to quantify MR parametric maps for T1 relaxation values which is also supported by MR-CT VVA.
The basic features and technology of the new CAAS MR Solutions product are the same in terms of intended use and indications for use and have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices CAAS MRV (K162112), CAAS MR Flow (K090155), CAAS MR 4D Flow (K162376) and MR-CT VVA (K140587). All software applications use the same types of data and operating principles for the user and technology regarding data import, contour definition, image display and storage of results.
Performance Data
Verification and validation of the CAAS MR Solutions showed that the system requirements – derived from the intended use and indications for use – as well as risk control measures were implemented correctly and that the device meets its specifications including conformance to the following standards:
- · ISO 14971:2007, Medical devices Application of risk management to medical devices
- · NEMA PS 3.1 3.20 (2016), Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
- · IEC 62304 Ed 1.1, 2015-06, Medical device software Software life cycle processes
- IEC 62336-1 Ed 1.0 2015-02, Medical devices Application of usability engineering to medical devices
- ISO 13485:2016, Medical devices Quality Management Systems
For each analysis workflow in CAAS MR Solution approach is created and the proper functioning of the algorithms is validated.
- . Equivalence in numerical results for the analysis workflows already available in the predicate devices CAAS MRV, CAAS MR Flow and CAAS MR 4D Flow was demonstrated with regression testing.
- The validation of the new functionalities for signal intensity analysis workflow and the T1 mapping quantification demonstrated that the results meet the accuracy and reproducibility requirements.
- Usability testing is performed in accordance with IEC62366 which demonstrated that the user is able to use CAAS MR Solutions for the purpose it was developed for.
The verification and validation results demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CAAS MR Solution to its intended use and therefore CAAS MR Solutions can be considered as safe and effective as its predicate devices.
Conclusion
Based on the application of risk management and performance testing inherent to PMI's QA system (compliant with recognized standards as stated above) we conclude that CAAS MR Solutions is as safe and effective as its predicate devices in terms of intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, measurements and operating environment and does not raise any new issues related to safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.
