The summary describes image post-processing software that generates parametric maps based on DTI data. It does not mention AI, ML, or any related techniques in the description of its functionality or performance studies. The processing described appears to be based on established DTI analysis methods rather than AI/ML algorithms.
No
The device is described as an image post-processing software that generates parametric maps from MRI studies for evaluation by trained radiologists. It explicitly states that "The BIT-Motion should not be used in isolation breast tissue features or for making patient management decisions," indicating it is for diagnostic information extraction rather than direct treatment.
Yes
The device is described as processing breast MRI studies to generate parametric maps that display changes in water diffusion coefficients and directions, as well as indices defining diffusion anisotropy. These maps are evaluated by trained radiologists to provide information on breast water diffusion features, which is indicative of a diagnostic function, even though it states it "should not be used in isolation breast tissue features or for making patient management decisions."
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "stand-alone image post processing software" and a "software package". It runs on a PC server and processes data received over a network, with no mention of included or required hardware components beyond a standard PC and network connection. The performance studies focus on software verification and validation in an end-user environment, further supporting its software-only nature.
Based on the provided information, the BIT-Motion 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.
- BIT-Motion's Function: The BIT-Motion is a software that processes MRI images of the breast. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient. It works with imaging data acquired by an external modality (MRI scanner).
- Intended Use: The intended use is to process functional volumetric data from MRI studies to generate parametric maps for evaluation by trained radiologists. This is a form of medical image processing and analysis, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's a software package that processes MRI images received over a network.
Therefore, the BIT-Motion falls under the category of medical image processing software or a PACS device with advanced processing capabilities, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BIT-Motion is a stand-alone image post processing software. The Bit-Motion is intended for use as a PACS device, which is interfaced to the clinics’ LAN. It receives clinical studies from hospital modalities, processes functional volumetric data and generates parametric maps that display changes intensity. It also includes manual display manipulation, annotation and control tools, which assist professional users to evaluate the displayed maps and to transfer the results to the PACS, in DICOM format.
The BIT-Motion indications for use are receiving breast studies from MRI scanners and processing them to generate DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) 2D and 3D parametric maps that display changes in the values of water diffusion coefficients and directions, as well as in indices defining diffusion anisotropy. The device-displayed DTI parametric maps are evaluated by the users. The device is indicated for use by trained radiologists and may provide information on breast water diffusion features. The BIT-Motion should not be used in isolation breast tissue features or for making patient management decisions.

Substantial Equivalence conclusion
The BIT-Motion has the same intended use and very similar indication for use as the legally marketed predicate device. The two devices have similar technological characteristics. Results of tests, which were adhered to state-of-art standards and procedures, demonstrate that differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Based on this discussion, it is DDE's opinion that BIT-Motion is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the CADstream Version 4.0 (K043216) predicate device.
