CARPL, a web-based PACS and radiology workflow management device, used for viewing and assessing DICOM images Ex: DX, DR, CR, CT, MR, US, RF and 2D/3D mammography. It gathers digital images and information from a variety of sources that adhere to the DICOM standard. These sources encompass a range of devices, including digital and computed radiographic equipment, CT and MR scanners, ultrasound and RF machines, PET units, secondary capture tools, imaging gateways. CARPL enables the storage, transmission, processing, and visualization of images and data within the system itself or over computer networks spanning different locations. 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 a display that is cleared, and that meets technical specifications reviewed and accepted by your regulatory authorities. Preprocessing occurs during the transfer of DICOM images from PACS to CARPL Platform involving the filtering of data based on the DICOM tags like "Modality", "Study Description", "Accession Number", etc. This process is aimed at extracting DICOM images that align with the requirements of the deployment workflow. Images that have not undergone this preprocessing are not included in the deployment workflow. CARPL accepts digital images and information from various sources that adhere to the DICOM standard. These sources include CT scanners, MR scanners, ultrasound systems, RF Units, PET Units, computed and digital radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, imaging gateways, and other imaging equipment. The system features post-processing elements like MPR/MIP that improve visualization for radiologists, aiding them in the diagnostic assessment and measurement of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. When assessing images for diagnostic purposes, it becomes the duty of the healthcare expert to ascertain whether the image quality is appropriate for clinical use. The system offers the choice to incorporate third-party AI models that have been cleared by the FDA. A regulatory compliance team continually oversees and verifies the clearance status of each algorithm. Each algorithm developer must prove regulatory clearances before their products can be incorporated with CARPL. FDA-cleared 3rd party algorithms listed in CARPL display the FDA clearance "K" number along with a hyperlink to the algorithm's FDA clearance URL. The solution solely aids in visualizing the outcomes of these third-party AI models without modifications. The safety and efficacy of the third-party model are governed by the regulatory approval granted to the original manufacturer of the said model.

More Information

Not Found

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the system offers the choice to incorporate third-party AI models that have been cleared by the FDA and that CARPL simply presents the simple AI response output.

No.
The device is a PACS and radiology workflow management device used for viewing and assessing DICOM images, aiding in diagnosis, but not directly providing therapy or treatment.

Yes

CARPL is a diagnostic device because its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that it is "used for viewing and assessing DICOM images Ex: DX, DR, CR, CT, MR, US, RF and 2D/3D mammography," and it explicitly mentions that "pre-processed DICOM images specifically intended for presentation are suitable for primary image diagnosis in mammography." It also aids in "diagnostic assessment" through post-processing elements and the visualization of third-party AI model outcomes.

Yes

The device is described as a "web-based PACS and radiology workflow management device" that handles digital images and information. While it interacts with hardware sources (imaging equipment) and displays (monitors), the core functionality described is software-based: gathering, storing, transmitting, processing (filtering, MPR/MIP), visualizing, and integrating with third-party AI models. There is no indication that the device itself includes any hardware components beyond the software running on a web platform.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • CARPL's Function: CARPL is described as a web-based PACS and radiology workflow management device. Its primary functions are viewing, assessing, storing, transmitting, and visualizing medical images (DICOM images) obtained from various imaging modalities. It also facilitates the integration and display of results from third-party AI models that process these images.
  • No Sample Analysis: The description of CARPL's intended use and device description does not involve the analysis of biological samples from the human body. It deals exclusively with medical images.

Therefore, while CARPL is a medical device used in the diagnostic process, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

CARPL simply presents the simple AI response output, and the initial anonymized image remains consistently available. The duty of evaluating the AI output, validating the results, and conducting the diagnosis lies with competent medical professionals.

CARPL incorporates the following:

    1. The setup includes a Gateway, situated on the client's end within the modality/PACS network, which can be implemented using the widely available conventional TCP/IP network framework in healthcare institutions. This Gateway is set up on a computer having a reliable internet connection for online transmission, or it can be linked to a Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit images within the network. The Gateway is responsible for collecting DICOM images from different DICOM-compliant sources, forwarding them to the CARPL platform. Additionally, it accepts secondary capture images from CARPL and relays them to the linked hospital PACS.
  • It has a dataset manager i.e., study list, which includes all the studies that are uploaded to the system.
  • It has a radiology workflow management system. Supervisors or project Managers can assign the studies to Radiologists. Radiologists can then view the study images, diagnose them, and share feedback on CARPL Viewer.
  • It is used by radiologists to view the DICOM images for diagnosis and sharing feedback. The viewer supports DICOM images from Digital X-Ray (DX), Computerized Radiography (CR), Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), Nuclear Medicine (NM), Digital Mammography (MG), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Radiographic imaging (RG), Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) and X-Ray Angiography (XA).
  • It only incorporates algorithms that have received FDA clearance. The inclusion of KNumber is obligatory and serves as an authentication factor during the integration process. CARPL verifies the 510 (k) Number against the 510 (k) Number database before proceeding with integration.
  • The system forwards the input study to the third-party AI model, obtains the AI-generated results, and presents these results directly in the Viewer. This enables Radiologists to visualize and utilize the outputs from the third-party AI model to aid in diagnosing the study. The displayed outcomes adhere to the regulatory clearance specifications of the third-party provider. The original image remains accessible at all times.
  • It can provide status for the studies in the dataset list based on the outputs provided by the 3rd party AI models.
  • It displays the output of the 3rd party AI model in the Viewer for visualization by the Radiologist to assist in diagnosing the study.
  • It provides radiologists MPR/MIP 2D multi-planar reconstruction post-processing elements, enhancing visualization and aiding in diagnostic analysis.
    1. CARPL also provides a list of annotation tools that the user can use to annotate a case and carry out measurements. The following tools are provided by CARPL:
    • Length : The user can use this to measure the distance of the suspected lesion from point 'A'- 'B', which is expressed in cm. The user places the cursor over the starting point on a lesion and drags to draw a segment with visible measurement. To finish the segment, the user releases the cursor. If need be, the user can move the entire segment or the measurement value to a convenient place.
    • Annotate : Users can mark a suspected lesion on the image. After the user finishes the marking, a pop-up appears on the image from which the user can select a label or write a label on the annotated area.
  • Angle : Angle tool can be used when a user wants to measure the angle of a ROI. The user, from a left button on the mouse, draws the first arm of the angle and releases it, and similarly draws the second arm, after which the value is displayed in degrees.
  • Bidirectional : It is a tool to measure ROI's length and width. The user annotates a suspected lesion, e.g., Nodule; using this tool the user can have the length and width of the marked ROI. The user drags the cursor to a position where they think ROI is present. The values are displayed in mm.
  • Ellipse : This tool helps users mark an ROI on an image in a defined elliptical border. The user draws an ellipse by dragging the mouse cursor on the ROI and releasing it to finish the Ellipse. Once an ellipse is completed, a pop-up appears to label the ROI. Users can also move the Ellipse to a different position by dragging it.
  • f. Rectangle : Similar functions to Ellipse. The only difference is the shape of the ROIwhich appears as a rectangle.
  • Freehand/Close polygon : This is used for giving a freehand shape to an ROI. The user clicks on the left button on the mouse to create a starting node on the ROI; the user then drags the node and finishes it where they want to end the node around the ROI. A pop-up then appears to label the ROI. Users can edit the final shape by clicking on the drawing and dragging it to the desired position.
  • Eraser: The user can click on the marked ROI and erase it.
  • Reset: This button restores the study image to its original state.
  • All sigmificant events within the application trigger Smart Notifications to be distributed to every registered or non-registered user. These notifications do not pertain to any potentially suspected findings that might be recognized by the FDA-cleared third-party AI models, which can be optionally integrated with CARPL.
  • It provides a communication feature to all the users associated with a given study.
  • An RDBMS is employed for data storage, while an object storage server is utilized for the purpose of storing and retrieving DICOM images and thumbnails.

The utilized network protocol involves TLS-based communication with HTTPS and AES encryption.

Image /page/6/Picture/1 description: The image shows a logo with the letters "C", "R", "P", and "L" in white font on a green background. There is a symbol between the "C" and "R" that looks like a network of interconnected nodes. The logo is simple and clean, with a focus on the letters and the network symbol. The green background provides a contrast to the white letters, making them stand out.

CARPL incorporates the following:

    1. The setup includes a Gateway, situated on the client's end within the modality/PACS network, which can be implemented using the widely available conventional TCP/IP network framework in healthcare institutions. This Gateway is set up on a computer having a reliable internet connection for online transmission, or it can be linked to a Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit images within the network. The Gateway is responsible for collecting DICOM images from different DICOM-compliant sources, forwarding them to the CARPL platform. Additionally, it accepts secondary capture images from CARPL and relays them to the linked hospital PACS.
  • It has a dataset manager i.e., study list, which includes all the studies that are uploaded to the 2. system.
  • It has a radiology workflow management system. Supervisors or project Managers can assign 3. the studies to Radiologists. Radiologists can then view the study images, diagnose them, and share feedback on CARPL Viewer.
  • It is used by radiologists to view the DICOM images for diagnosis and sharing feedback. The 4. viewer supports DICOM images from Digital X-Ray (DX), Computerized Radiography (CR), Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), Nuclear Medicine (NM), Digital Mammography (MG), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Radiographic imaging (RG), Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) and X-Ray Angiography (XA).
  • న్ It only incorporates algorithms that have received FDA clearance. The inclusion of KNumber is obligatory and serves as an authentication factor during the integration process. CARPL verifies the 510 (k) Number against the 510 (k) Number database before proceeding with integration.
  • The system forwards the input study to the third-party AI model, obtains the AI-generated 6. results, and presents these results directly in the Viewer. This enables Radiologists to visualize and utilize the outputs from the third-party AI model to aid in diagnosing the study. The displayed outcomes adhere to the regulatory clearance specifications of the third-party provider. The original image remains accessible at all times.
    1. It can provide status for the studies in the dataset list based on the outputs provided by the 3rd party AI models.
  • It displays the output of the 3rd party AI model in the Viewer for visualization by the 8. Radiologist to assist in diagnosing the study.
    1. It provides radiologists MPR/MIP 2D multi-planar reconstruction post-processing elements, enhancing visualization and aiding in diagnostic analysis.
    1. CARPL also provides a list of annotation tools that the user can use to annotate a case and carry out measurements. The following tools are provided by CARPL:
    • Length : The user can use this to measure the distance of the suspected lesion from a. point 'A'- 'B', which is expressed in cm. The user places the cursor over the starting point on a lesion and drags to draw a segment with visible measurement. To finish the segment, the user releases the cursor. If need be, the user can move the entire segment or the measurement value to a convenient place.
    • Annotate : Users can mark a suspected lesion on the image. After the user finishes the b. marking, a pop-up appears on the image from which the user can select a label or write a label on the annotated area.

Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for CRPL. The logo is set on a green background. The letters "C", "R", "P", and "L" are in white, and there is a tan-colored design between the "C" and the "R".

  • Angle : Angle tool can be used when a user wants to measure the angle of a ROI. The C. user, from a left button on the mouse, draws the first arm of the angle and releases it, and similarly draws the second arm, after which the value is displayed in degrees.
  • Bidirectional : It is a tool to measure ROI's length and width. The user annotates a d. suspected lesion, e.g., Nodule; using this tool the user can have the length and width of the marked ROI. The user drags the cursor to a position where they think ROI is present. The values are displayed in mm.
  • Ellipse : This tool helps users mark an ROI on an image in a defined elliptical border. e. The user draws an ellipse by dragging the mouse cursor on the ROI and releasing it to finish the Ellipse. Once an ellipse is completed, a pop-up appears to label the ROI. Users can also move the Ellipse to a different position by dragging it.
  • f. Rectangle : Similar functions to Ellipse. The only difference is the shape of the ROIwhich appears as a rectangle.
  • Freehand/Close polygon : This is used for giving a freehand shape to an ROI. The user g. clicks on the left button on the mouse to create a starting node on the ROI; the user then drags the node and finishes it where they want to end the node around the ROI. A pop-up then appears to label the ROI. Users can edit the final shape by clicking on the drawing and dragging it to the desired position.
  • Eraser: The user can click on the marked ROI and erase it. h.
  • Reset: This button restores the study image to its original state. i.
    1. All sigmificant events within the application trigger Smart Notifications to be distributed to every registered or non-registered user. These notifications do not pertain to any potentially suspected findings that might be recognized by the FDA-cleared third-party AI models, which can be optionally integrated with CARPL.
    1. It provides a communication feature to all the users associated with a given study.
    1. An RDBMS is employed for data storage, while an object storage server is utilized for the purpose of storing and retrieving DICOM images and thumbnails.

The utilized network protocol involves TLS-based communication with HTTPS and AES encryption.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

CARPL, a web-based PACS and radiology workflow management device, used for viewing and assessing DICOM images Ex: DX, DR, CR, CT, MR, US, RF and 2D/3D mammography. It gathers digital images and information from a variety of sources that adhere to the DICOM standard. These sources encompass a range of devices, including digital and computed radiographic equipment, CT and MR scanners, ultrasound and RF machines, PET units, secondary capture tools, imaging gateways. CARPL enables the storage, transmission, processing, and visualization of images and data within the system itself or over computer networks spanning different locations.

The technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices is the same in terms of prescription use, support of various modalities, resolution, image storage, use of the DICOM Standard, 3D Cursor, and Operation features. Most of the features, specifications, and functions of both the subject and predicate devices, like indications for use, software web browser, software intended environment, study viewer, and study worklist are similar.

CARPL provides the feature of optional integration with external FDA-cleared 3rd party AI models like the predicate device Augmento does. The integration with the FDAcleared 3rd party AI models is optional based on the user's discretion, and always in accordance with the 3rd party manufacturer's regulatory clearance. The regulatory status of integrated FDA approved algorithms is clear in the CARPL user interface as it displays the approved algorithm's 510(k) number along with a link to the FDA website page containing the algorithm's substantial equivalence ruling. Technological safeguards prevent algorithms without FDA clearance from being employed. Hence, the difference does not affect the product effectiveness and safety.
