No
The description focuses on standard image display, manipulation, and measurement functionalities, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, interpretation, or decision support.
No
The device aids in diagnosis and treatment planning by displaying and manipulating images, but it does not directly treat or prevent conditions.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the "displaying component allows users to manipulate the images to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
Yes
The device description focuses entirely on software functionalities for image retrieval, display, manipulation, and distribution. It acts as an accessory to existing hardware (Cone Beam CT devices) but does not include any hardware components itself. The performance studies mentioned are software validation, verification, and testing.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- CubeVue's Function: CubeVue's intended use is to retrieve, display, and distribute imaging data from Cone Beam CT extremity devices. It allows users to manipulate and analyze these images to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- No Specimen Analysis: CubeVue does not analyze biological specimens taken from the body. It works with image data generated by an imaging modality.
Therefore, CubeVue falls under the category of medical imaging software or an accessory to a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
CubeVue serves as an accessory to Cone Beam CT extremity imaging devices with the intended use to retrieve, display, and distribute 2D and 3D volumetric image data.
CubeVue provides a list of patient scans that have been sent to the its image database through its DICOM interface or imported locally by the user can browse, search, and sort the patient list to select a patient and open his or her image data.
The main screen displays a 3D rendering of the image in addition to axial, sagittal, and coronal slices. In the slices, the user can navigate through the volume by paging and rotating. The user can also adjust the window level, zoom, and pan of the 2D slices. In the 3D volume, the user can rotate the volume, cut through a plane, and change the displayed tissue density threshold and rendering style.
The user can make measurements on the image including distances, angles, and density values.
The user can export patient data to a file or media, with the option to anonymize patient demographic information. It supports DICOM and JPEG for image communication.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Yungvirt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

Substantial Equivalence Summary:
The indications for use for CubeVue are a subset of those for Osirix MD. While Osirix MD is intended to be used for viewing CT, MR, CR, DR, US, and other DICOM compliant data, CubeVue is only intended for viewing extremity Cone Beam CT and extremity X-Ray data. Osirix MD can also be used to review Mammographic images while CubeVue cannot. Although CubeVue's indications for use are a subset of those of Osirix MD's, its capabilities for this subset are substantially equivalent as outlined in the table below. CubeVue's labeling indicates the type of datasets it is intended for viewing and states that it not does not use lossless compression. Therefore, when used as intended, CubeVue functions safely and effectively for its intended purpose.
Performance testing included software validation, verification and testing. CubeVue functioned as intended and the observed results demonstrated substantial equivalence with the predicate device.
