More Information

No
The document describes image processing and quantification software but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.
The device is described as software for viewing and quantifying image data from ultrasound systems, used for off-line review and quantification, not for treating or diagnosing a condition.

Yes

The device is designed to "view and quantify image data" from ultrasound systems, and "quantification" of medical images is a common step in diagnostic processes to extract meaningful clinical information for diagnosis.

Yes

The device is described as a "software application package" and "software" that functions on standard PCs, dedicated workstations, and on-board ultrasound systems, with no mention of accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems." This describes a tool for analyzing medical images, not for performing tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a disease.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a software application for reviewing and quantifying ultrasound studies. It doesn't mention any interaction with biological specimens or reagents.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is ultrasound images, which are generated by a medical imaging device, not from a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of biological materials.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This software's function is centered around the analysis of medical images.
