The summary describes standard image processing, measurement tools, and calculations based on measurements, but does not mention AI or ML.
No.
The device facilitates the interpretation of medical images and enables diagnosis, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that TeleScan™ "provides various image processing and measurement tools to facilitate the interpretation of ultrasound DICOM medical images and enable diagnosis" and "may provide information to be used for screening and diagnostic procedures." It also explicitly mentions that it "allows remote qualified radiologists and clinicians to provide a diagnosis remotely." The "Device Description" re-iterates this by stating it "may provide information to be used for screening and diagnostic procedures" and "allows remote, qualified radiologists and clinicians to provide a diagnosis remotely." The software also offers "diagnostics tools for annotation" and calculates metrics like "estimated due date and estimated fetal weight" through a "diagnostics function."
Yes
The device is described as a "software application" and "software as a service (SaaS)" that receives, processes, and displays medical images and data. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself.
Based on the provided text, TeleScan™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- TeleScan™'s Function: TeleScan™ works with medical images and data from ultrasound machines. It processes, displays, and facilitates the interpretation of these images. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for receiving, processing, manipulating, displaying, printing, and archiving ultrasound medical images and data. While it aids in diagnosis, it does so by working with imaging data, not biological samples.
Therefore, TeleScan™ falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an IVD.
