Neither a K/DEN number nor any reference devices are mentioned in the provided text.
No
The summary describes standard image measurement, database overlay, and workflow management features, with no mention of AI or ML terms or capabilities.
No.
Explanation: The device is software designed for pre-operative planning and measurement using existing images, not for directly treating or managing a patient's condition.
No
The text explicitly states: "The software is not for primary image interpretation." This indicates it processes existing diagnostic images but does not perform the diagnostic interpretation itself.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "medical browser-based software" and its functions are entirely software-based (reading images, measurements, overlaying implants, handing over data). There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the regulated device.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- This device, mediCAD Web, operates on medical images (x-rays and CT scans) of the human body. It's used for preoperative planning and measurement based on these images, not for analyzing biological samples.
The description clearly states its purpose is to "preoperative measurements of existing x-rays (2D) and CT (3D)" and to "aid surgeons in their planning of orthopedic surgeries." This falls under the category of medical imaging software used for planning and analysis, not in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
mediCAD Web is a medical browser-based software, which allows professional orthopedics preoperative measurements of existing x-rays (2D) and CT (3D). The software is intended to read in diagnostic images (e.g. digitized x-rays) from PACS or conventional medias and to dimension them. An integrated database of orthopedic implant geometries can be overlayed to aid surgeons in their planning of orthopedic surgeries. mediCAD Web can hand over the digital plannings as DICOMs to PACS-systems.
mediCAD will also support the proper workflow necessary to effectively compare pre- and post-operative radiograph studies for a unique understanding of the patient's surgical outcome. Integrating this workflow with the orthopedic surgeons existing workflow and combining it with the data produced from the patient physical exam, provides a comprehensive data set for the continued prescription of a patient's relevant treatment and therapy. The software is not for primary image interpretation. The software is not for use on mobile phones.

§ 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 Claas-Fabian Lüers:
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

devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
