No
The device description focuses on display technology and calibration features, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is an LCD monitor intended for displaying and viewing digital medical images for diagnosis, not for providing therapy.

Yes.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device "is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc. by trained medical practitioners." This explicitly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an LCD Panel, main board, power adapter, and data cable, in addition to software. The performance studies also focus on the physical characteristics and electrical safety of the hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc." This describes a device used to visualize medical images, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the technical specifications of a monitor designed for displaying medical images (resolution, luminance, color, DICOM support, etc.). It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample handling, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to aid in diagnosis. This device is a display monitor used to present images generated by other diagnostic modalities (like X-ray and MRI).

Dear Zilong Liang:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and have determined the devices are 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 devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your products as devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), they may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices 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 devices comply 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

1

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/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) 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 http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.

For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.
