Yes
The text explicitly states multiple times that the device is intended for "diagnostic purposes." For example, under "Intended Use / Indications for Use," it says: "The system allows users to: manipulate (e.g. rotate, flip, etc.); enhance (e.g. increase brightness/contrast, gamma correction); add labels (e.g. measurements, lines, arrows, etc.), annotations to patient images/studies and other relevant operations for diagnostic purposes." and "XVWeb 3D is designed for medium to large dental practices and is intended for trained dental professionals and technicians to access, manipulate, and enhance dental images for diagnostic purposes only." Similar statements are found in the "Device Description."
Yes
The device is described as an "add-on software module" for an existing PACS system (XVWeb). It explicitly states it "does not perform any radiographic image acquisition" and relies on integration with DICOM-compatible systems for image input. The description focuses solely on the software's functionalities for accessing, manipulating, and enhancing images.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- XVWeb 3D Functionality: XVWeb 3D is a software system that processes, displays, and manipulates medical images (specifically cone beam CT images) of the human body. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that it is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) for accessing, manipulating, and enhancing dental radiological images for diagnostic purposes. This is related to medical imaging interpretation, not in vitro testing.
Therefore, XVWeb 3D falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

6. Device Description
What it is
XVWeb 3D is an add-on software module for XVWeb (K132342) that enables dental practices to query and access digitally stored, 3D hard- and soft-tissue cone beam CT images using an internet/web browser. XVWeb 3D uses the web-based interface provided by XVWeb to display patient 3D images and studies.
XVWeb 3D allows users to manipulate 3D images an infinite number of ways, allowing the dental anatomy to be viewed from every possible perspective, providing the information needed to plan efficient treatments. XVWeb 3D also allows users to enhance images (e.q., increase or decrease brightness/contrast, gamma correction), and add measurement labels to 3D patient images/studies for diagnostic purposes, and view the image's DICOM information entities.
XVWeb 3D is designed for medium to large dental practices and is intended for trained dental professionals and technicians to access, manipulate, and enhance dental cone beam CT images of the teeth, jaw, and lower skull area for diagnostic purposes only. The patient population are those who have had a dental cone beam CT examination.
XVWeb 3D does not function by itself (i.e., it is not standalone software that can be launched and ran), it is integrated with XVWeb to query/access/view/ patient 3D images. XVWeb 3D is not required for XVWeb, it is an extra-cost option available to those who wish to add 3D-imaging capability to their existing XVWeb workflow. XVWeb 3D does not perform any radiographic image acquisition.
How it works
XVWeb 3D uses the DICOM file format standard to process the raw images/CT frames that have rescale type HU (Hounsfield unit) from the cone beam CT system. These files are sent from wherever the cone beam CT examination is taking place (i.e., the doctor's office, or "client") to the XVWeb DICOM server via web service. The DICOM files contain the raw images/CT frames in the form of parallel, horizontal slices of the head, starting from the bottom and proceeding to the top (i.e., the axial plane view).
When all of the CT frames for a given patient/series are received by the XVWeb DICOM server, a separate server, referred to as the 3D server, preprocesses the axial plane CT frames. This preprocessing consists of several steps:
- The spacing between each CT frame is computed ●
- The minimum and maximum pixel value in all CT frames is computed ●
- If necessary, frames are downscaled and/or merged to optimize them for web browser . bandwidth and throughput
- Each CT frame is normalized using the minimum and maximum pixel values computed earlier
- . Each CT frame is stored as a JPEG file on the customer's existing XVWeb site
When the preprocessing is complete, a user can then access the stored CT data using the XVWeb user interface in a web browser. One way the CT data will appear in the browser is as a series thumbnail image in the series bar on the left side of the XVWeb user interface. When the user clicks the CT thumbnail image, the browser begins to request the JPEG files created during the preprocessing steps. When all of the JPEG files are loaded into the browser, XVWeb 3D renders the orthogonal MPR slices (the axial, sagittal, and coronal plane views) and the 3D volume view and displays them in the XVWeb user interface. The user can then manipulate the 3D volume and slices using the controls within the XVWeb interface. XVWeb 3D also renders the
5
curved MPR slice (including cross-sectional slices) and makes it available for manipulation when the Curved MPR View button is clicked and a curve is drawn in the XVWeb interface. Crosssectional slices related to the user-drawn curve are also rendered, but not until after the curve is drawn.
7. Indications for Use
XVWeb 3D is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) that enables dental facilities to query and access digitally stored hard and soft tissue intraoral radiological images using an internet/web browser.
A web-based interface provides users the needed functionality to display patient images and studies in commercially available web browsers. Patient images/studies can be accessed by users locally within the system or across a wide-area network at distributed locations.
Acquisition can be included via integration with a DICOM-compatible Imaging and/or PACS system configured to forward images to the XVWeb 3D database. XVWeb 3D is compatible with programs that run on standard "off-the-shelf" personal computers, business computers, and servers running standard operating systems.
The system allows users to: manipulate (e.g. rotate, flip, etc.); enhance (e.g. increase or decrease brightness/contrast, gamma correction); add labels (e.g. measurements, lines, arrows, etc.), annotations to patient images/studies and other relevant operations for diagnostic purposes.
XVWeb 3D is designed for medium to large dental practices and is intended for trained dental professionals and technicians to access, manipulate, and enhance dental images for diagnostic purposes only.
8. Comparison
The only modification that was made to the originally-cleared device is the 3D data recognition. processing, and image manipulation capabilities within the XVWeb interface. These capabilities are contained in the add-on software module.
The XVWeb 3D module extends the cloud capability of XVWeb to include cone beam CT datasets, allowing 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the human craniofacial region to be included in the XVWeb query/access/view/diagnose workflow.
Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. are not applicable to the device (figures are not pertinent to describe the differences between subject and predicate devices).
Substantial Equivalence
XVWeb 3D has the following similarities to the previously-cleared XVWeb:
- . Same indicated use
- Ability to query and view patient images ●
- Ability to manipulate images (e.g., view from different perspectives, zoom in/out)
- Ability to enhance images (e.g., increase/decrease brightness, contrast, and gamma correction)
- . Ability to add measurement labels
- Ability to view DICOM information entities (e.g., patient, study, series, image)
- Ability to export a copy of images

Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for Apteryx Custom Software. The logo features the word "APTERYX" in bold, dark blue letters, with the words "custom software" in a smaller font size underneath. To the right of the text is a stylized, dark blue graphic that resembles a feather or a leaf. The overall design is clean and professional.
While XVWeb applied the above device characteristics to 2D images, XVWeb 3D allows these same characteristics to be applied to 3D images.
Software Verification and Validation Testing
XVWeb 3D verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided, including pass/fail criteria, as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." Apteryx believes the XVWeb 3D Level of Concern to be Moderate, since a latent design flaw could result in an erroneous diagnosis that would likely lead to minor injury.
Clinical Studies
No clinical testing was performed.
9. Conclusions
In summary, the XVWeb 3D module described in this submission is, in the opinion of Apteryx, substantially equivalent to the predicate device, XVWeb.
