Based on the provided information, Arterys MICA is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- Arterys MICA's Function: Arterys MICA processes and analyzes medical images (CT, MR) and related data. It does not analyze biological specimens. Its purpose is to aid in the interpretation of medical images, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "medical diagnostic application that displays, processes, stores, and transfers DICOM and non-DICOM medical data." It's a "support tool by trained healthcare professionals to aid in diagnosis" based on image interpretation.
- Device Description: The device description focuses on image processing, analysis of image data (like blood flow, ventricular function, lesions), and providing quantitative measurements derived from images.
While Arterys MICA is a medical diagnostic device, it falls under the category of medical imaging software or image analysis software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Arterys MICA software is a medical diagnostic application that displays, processes, stores, and transfers DICOM and non-DICOM medical data. It provides the capability to store images and patient information, and perform filtering, digital manipulation, and quantitative measurements. The client software is designed to run on standard personal and business computers and on monitors/screens that meet appropriate technical specifications for image diagnosis.
Arterys MICA includes an optional Cardio Al module which is used to analyze the heart and its major vessels using multi-slice, multi-phase, and velocity-encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) imges. It provides clinically relevant and reproducible, quantitative data, and has been tested and validated on MR images acquired from both 1.5T and 3.0 T MR Scanners.
Arterys MICA includes an optional Oncology AI module which provides analytical tools to help the user assess and document changes in morphological activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations. It is a tool used to support the oncological workflow by helping the user confirm the absence of lesions, including evaluation, quantification, follow-up, and documentation of any such lesions.
Arterys MICA software is intended to be used as a support tool by trained healthcare professionals to aid in diagnosis. It is intended to provide image and related information that is interpreted by a trained professional to render findings and/or diagnosis, but it does not directly generate any diagnosis or potential findings.

Device Description
Arterys MICA, already cleared as per the predicate, is a dedicated software application used as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM information and data management system. Pre-existing DICOM images, such as CT or MR, are uploaded into Arterys MICA from a PACS or a scanner. Arterys MICA is completely hosted in the cloud and is accessed using a compatible web browser by navigating to the following https://app.arterys.com. Cloud servers are provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and service is accessible globally.
The Viewer AI application of Arterys MICA is designed around a modular architecture of separate components that make up a basic image viewer. These include the Studylist, from which studies are selected and opened, the image display (2D, 3D, MIP, etc), view synchronization, metadata information, and various navigational, measurement, and other action tools.
Functionality provided by the Viewer AI is extended by the additional Cardio AI and Oncology AI application modules which add support for specific clinical workflows:
- Cardiac Workflow Module: Evaluates multi-slice and multi-phase velocity-encoded . cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) images to quantify blood flow and ventricular function. In addition, perfusion and delayed enhancement datasets are analyzed and quantified, and for parametric mapping, T1, T2, and T2* values are obtained to assess tissue changes in the myocardium, as well as ECV calculations.
- Arterys MICA includes an optional Oncology AI module which provides analytical tools ● to help the user assess and document changes in morphological activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations. It is a tool used to support the oncological workflow by helping the user confirm the absence or presence of lesions, including evaluation, quantification, follow-up, and documentation of any such lesions.
Arterys MICA uses many deep learning algorithms to reduce many tedious, time-consuming manual steps, such as segmentation, landmark identification, etc. The results of these AI models are available on-screen to the user for further review and editing. The software does not perform any functions that could not be accomplished by a trained user with a manual method; the purpose of the automation is to save time and automate potential error-prone manual tasks, while allowing the results to be reviewed as per the normal clinical workflow.
NOTE: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of images. Artervs MICA software is a complement to these standard procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Safety and performance of Artervs MICA has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing. The software verification and validation activities were performed as per IEC 62304:2006/AC:2015- Medical device software - Software life cycle processes and ISO 14971:2019 Medical devices -- Application of risk management to medical devices, in addition to the FDA Guidance documents Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices and Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.
Hundreds of software verification and validation tests were repeatedly conducted throughout the software development effort, with any defects logged and traced to the failed tests. Defects were then fixed or were assessed for approval in the released product.
In our validation assessment, we compared the average T1 and T2 values obtained with the Arterys software in delineated regions of interest (ROIs) to the average intensity value obtained in a similar ROI delineated in OEM vendor generated inline maps. The results showed that the difference between calculated and expected T1 and T2 values were within predefined accuracy requirements (i.e., 30 ms and 4 ms for T1 and T2 values, respectively). T1 and T2 values derived with the Arterys software depends on the ROI selected by the user.
In the T1 workflow, endocardial and epicardial contours can be generated using a deep learning model. The generated contours are user-modifiable. These contours are used to derive Global T1 values. A standalone performance assessment was performed on 90 Cardiac T1 Mapping MRI short axis (SAX) scans from 16 studies. As a result, the device performed as intended compared to ground-truth contours.

To the left of the word is a stylized graphic consisting of three curved lines that are parallel to each other. The lines appear to be of equal thickness and are arranged in a way that suggests movement or flow.
The ability of Viewer AI to display annotations (segmentation, measurements, etc.) was expanded to integrate similar outputs of 3rd party models (bounding boxes, heatmaps, etc.). The safety and effectiveness of the 3rd party model is covered under the original manufacturer's regulatory clearance: Arterys only displays the simple output.
The cardiac MRI T1 and T2 workflows were added to the proposed Cardio AI product. The workflows and feature lists are in alignment with the SCMR (Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance) Post Processing Consensus Statement (https://scmr.org/page/guidelines). The workflows and calculations are based on published industry technical standards and peer-reviewed publications, resulting in no different questions of safety and effectiveness.
The Artervs MICA software has the similar technological characteristics as the predicate device and has the same uses and applications as the predicate device. Differences include minor incremental updates to some of the existing software features for user experience improvements. These software changes do not impact safety or efficacy of the device.
5. Performance Data
Safety and performance of Artervs MICA has been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing. The software verification and validation activities were performed as per IEC 62304:2006/AC:2015- Medical device software - Software life cycle processes and ISO 14971:2019 Medical devices -- Application of risk management to medical devices, in addition to the FDA Guidance documents Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices and Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.
