No
The document describes a standard medical image viewer and archive system with web-based access. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image analysis, processing, or decision support beyond basic viewing and manipulation.
No
The device is a software for viewing and manipulating medical images, intended for diagnostic review by medical professionals, not for treating conditions.
No.
The device is a software viewer for medical images. While it can display images that may be used for diagnosis, the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Only preprocessed DICOM for presentation images can be interpreted for primary image diagnosis in mammography" and "Mammographic images with lossy, compression and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations." It also states, "MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer, is not intended for diagnostic image review on mobile devices." This indicates that the device itself is not a diagnostic device, but rather a tool for viewing images, with limitations on its use for primary diagnosis.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "software device" and "medical software". The description focuses on its web-based functionality for viewing and manipulating medical images, storing DICOM objects, and providing a user interface for configuration and monitoring. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the regulated device itself. While it interacts with hardware (computers, browsers, displays), the device being cleared is the software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer clearly states its purpose is to "view and manipulate medical images." It deals with images from various modalities, not biological specimens.
- The intended use and device description focus entirely on image handling, storage, retrieval, and viewing. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
- The device is described as a "software device" and an "implementation of an IHE compliant Image Archive and Report Repository." This aligns with the function of a medical image viewer and archive, not an IVD.
Therefore, the MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer, is a software device, that enables Users to view and manipulate medical images. Patient images/studies can be accessed by Users locally within the system or across a wide-area network at distributed locations. The MIPACS HTML5 Web Viewer requires no installation on the client's behalf and is compatible with any HTML5compliant web browser (e.g. Google Chrome. Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, MacOS). Only preprocessed DICOM for presentation images can be interpreted for primary image diagnosis in mammography. Mammographic images with lossy, compression and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA cleared display that meets technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.
MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer, is not intended for diagnostic image review on mobile devices.

Device Description
MiPACS HTML5 is a medical software with a Moderate level of concern.
MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer uses web-based technology and a secure operating system. This means that virtually any computer at any location can use an Internet browser to access the device and RIS systems. Whether on-site or from another location, physicians and trained professionals can manage, edit, view and move diagnostic exams quickly and efficiently. As part of the MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer support, Medicor Imaging, performs virtually all the system maintenance.
The MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer is an implementation of an IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) compliant Image Archive and Report Repository. This includes the capabilities:
- To store and retrieve various kinds of DICOM Objects such as:
- Images from multiple modalities,
- Grayscale Presentation States [GSPS], which specifies the presentations of images as gray scaling, zoom, text and graphical annotations,
- Key Objects [KO], which specifies a particular selection of images for a specified reason and with an attached note,
- Structured Reports [SR].
The MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer, is a server application. Its Web-based User Interface is intended for system configuration and monitoring by system administrators.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.
(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

Dear Mr. Alletto:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is 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 device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device 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 device complies 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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for the MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer contains adequate information, data, and nonclinical test results to enable FDA - CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The subject device and predicate device are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, and intended use. The MiPACS HTML5 Web Viewer do not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to existing legally marketed devices.
Nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs comparably to the predicate devices.
