The device description explicitly states "Simpleware ScanIP Medical is image processing software" and lists only software functionalities. While the output can be used for physical replicas, the device itself is the software that processes the images and generates the digital models. The validation studies focus on the software's accuracy and the workflow leading to a printed model, not on the hardware of a printer itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: Simpleware ScanIP Medical is image processing software that works with medical imaging data (like CT or MRI scans, although the input modality isn't explicitly stated). It's used for visualization, segmentation, and creating 3D models for pre-operative planning and the fabrication of physical replicas.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of medical imaging information to an output file" and "pre-operative software for diagnostic and surgical planning." While the output can be used for diagnostic purposes via physical replicas, the software itself is not performing a test on a biological sample.
- No Mention of Biological Samples: The description and intended use do not mention the processing or analysis of any biological samples.
Therefore, Simpleware ScanIP Medical falls under the category of medical imaging software and surgical planning tools, not in vitro diagnostics.

Indications for Use Comparison
There are differences between the Indications for Use for the subject and predicate device.
Similarities include:
- The general purpose of diagnostic planning and pre-surgical planning remains the same ●
- There is no change in stated safety and effectiveness
The differences in the Indications for Use exist between the subject and predicate device will be presented and discussed below:
- The introduction of new intended applications is motivated by the expanded scope for 3D printing that can be used for diagnostic planning.
- The wording in the previous predicate statement on 'simulating/evaluating surgical treatment . options' has also been rephrased to "pre-operative software for measuring and treatment planning" to more clearly explain the device's diagnostic function. However, the meaning is the same.
- The description in the predicate device of transferring 'imaging information from a medical scanner such as a CT scanner or Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner' has been simplified to 'the transfer of medical imaging to an output file', to reflect changes in state-of-the-art for the scope of uses of the software technology.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate Device
Detailed comparison between the subject and predict devices show that the subject device is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, functionality, operating principles, and performance characteristics to the predicate.
The technological similarities between the subject and predicate devices are:
- Both predicate and subject devices are versions of the same software
- Both predicate and subject devices are software interface and image segmentation systems for transferring medical imaging information to an output file, with the goal of being used as preoperative software, and for measuring and treatment planning
- Both predicate and subject device are considered to have a 'Moderate' Level of Concern .
5
- . Both devices have equivalent image segmentation, measurement and model generation functionality
- . The subject device is a later version of the predicate device, following the same development practices and testing procedures, with verification and validation covering the same areas
- Validation of the subject device shows it to be equivalent in performance to the predicate device
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate device:
- Due to the change in scope of the intended use, the subject device's documentation explicitly . references and provides a validation method for the 3D printing of output files for diagnostic purposes in orthopedic, maxillofacial, and cardiovascular applications, whereas this was previously excluded in the predicate device
- o An additional hazard has also been created to reference specific risks and mitigation actions for this purpose
- Supported platforms: in addition to Microsoft Windows, the subject device is supported on . Linux.
- Minor software changes (when it comes to addressing the intended use) exist between the two versions of the same software
Performance Data
Software verification and validation were carried out based on the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices", including verification against defined requirements, validation to intended use, and bench testing.
Validation was carried out for the workflow of going from 3D image to printed model, demonstrating that the anatomical models for cardiovascular, orthopedic, and maxillofacial applications can be printed accurately when using compatible 3D printers. The intention of this testing is to demonstrate that the expanded scope does not raise new issues of safety and performance.
Nonclinical Tests Relied on for Determination of Substantial Equivalence
Simpleware ScanIP Medical has been bench-tested for its intended use to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device, including for validating measurement and model accuracy.
Clinical Tests Relied on for Determination of Substantial Equivalence (if available)
No clinical tests were conducted to determine substantial equivalence.
Conclusions
The characteristics determining functionality and performance of Simpleware ScanIP Medical are substantially equivalent to the device cleared under K142779:
- . Technological differences between the subject and predicate devices are non-substantial both in terms of functional differences and product development processes
- . Non-clinical bench-testing results demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, effective, and functional as the predicate device
- . The subject device's intended use is still broadly the same as the predicate device, functioning as a software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of medical imaging information to an output file, and as pre-operative software for diagnostic and surgical planning.
- . The change in indications for use to explicitly include use of output files for diagnostic 3D printing is supported by validation testing
