Yes
The device description explicitly states that the viewer is intended to "render and interact with Al findings and annotations from Lung Nodule detection Al algorithms." It also mentions allowing trained medical professionals to edit "quantifiable measurements first computed by AI." The name "Al Viewer" and the predicate device name "Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer" further support the presence of AI/ML.
No
The device aids in reviewing findings and interacting with AI findings and annotations, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.
Yes
The device is intended for clinical review, allows for manipulation and viewing of medical images (DICOM objects), and is used by trained medical professionals to aid in reviewing findings, which are all characteristics of a diagnostic device. While it states it "does not directly generate any potential findings or diagnosis", it explicitly states it is "purposed to aid in reviewing findings" and allows for interaction with AI findings and annotations, which are integral to the diagnostic process.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Al Viewer is a stand-alone software as medical device (Stand-alone SaMD)". It also mentions it is intended for use with "off the shelf computing devices" and supports "major desktop browsers", indicating it is software running on existing hardware, not a dedicated hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Al Viewer's Function: Al Viewer is a software application that processes and displays medical images (DICOM objects) and related information. It is used for clinical review and aids in reviewing findings from imaging data and AI software. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "clinical review intended for use in General Radiology and other healthcare imaging applications." This aligns with image viewing and analysis, not in vitro testing.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "stand-alone software as medical device (Stand-alone SaMD)" for viewing and interacting with image data and AI findings.
- Input: The input is "DICOM objects," which are image files, not biological specimens.
Therefore, Al Viewer falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
No
The input clearly states "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text: Not Found", indicating that the letter does not mention FDA approval or clearance of a PCCP for this device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
aiCockpit Al Viewer: Al Viewer is software for clinical review intended for use in General Radiology and other healthcare imaging applications.
Al Viewer is intended to be used with off the shelf computing devices. Al Viewer supports major desktop browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari.

Device Description
Al Viewer is a stand-alone software as medical device (Stand-alone SaMD) for clinicians able to use web browsers at client stations to view DICOM image data. It is intended to provide image and related information to render and interact with Al findings and annotations from Lung Nodule detection Al algorithms, but it does not directly generate any potential findings or diagnosis.
Al Viewer allows trained medical professionals to perform 2D, MPR & 3D image manipulations using the Adjustment Tools, including window level, rotate, flip, pan, stack scroll, and magnify. Al Viewer is also capable of organizing all the images and presenting them in a zero-footprint, web user interface, allowing the users to view images in their preferred layout.
Al Viewer allows trained medical professions with the Al Findings such as accept/reject/edit. Editing tools include selecting descriptive features for findings as well as allowing the physician to control editing quantifiable measurements first computed by AI such as lengths and volumes.
Al Viewer supports major desktop browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari.

Device Description Summary
Al Viewer is a stand-alone software as medical device (Stand-alone SaMD) for clinicians able to use web browsers at client stations to view DICOM image data. It is intended to provide image and related information to render and interact with Al findings and annotations from Lung Nodule detection Al algorithms, but it does not directly generate any potential findings or diagnosis.
Al Viewer allows trained medical professionals to perform 2D, MPR & 3D image manipulations using the Adjustment Tools, including window level, rotate, flip, pan, stack scroll, and magnify. Al Viewer is also capable of organizing all the images and presenting them in a zero-footprint, web user interface, allowing the users to view images in their preferred layout.
Al Viewer allows trained medical professions with the Al Findings such as accept/reject/edit. Editing tools include selecting descriptive features for findings as well as allowing the physician to control editing quantifiable measurements first computed by AI such as lengths and volumes.
Al Viewer supports major desktop browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
Al Viewer is software for clinical review intended for use in General Radiology and other healthcare imaging applications.
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Al Viewer is intended to be used with off the shelf computing devices. Al Viewer supports major desktop browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari.
Al Viewer can display annotations and measurements as an overlay on images from DICOM objects, and from Al software. The viewer

can perform 3D Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR), 3D Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and 3D Volume Rendering (VR). Al Viewer is purposed to aid in reviewing findings through its ability to display clinical documents and reports side by side with the images.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The indications for use are the same
Technological Comparison
The Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer is the predicate device for the Fovia Al Viewer. The two devices are substantially equivalent as they both provide the same functionality and possess the same technological characteristics.
From a high-level overview, both devices can "display annotations and measurements as an overlay on images from DICOM objects, and from Al software" (providing the same functionality) and both devices are based on the same architecture of "Server-based software solution that displays images and reports from a PACS using a zero-footprint application (browser)" (using the same technological characteristics).
From a more detailed level:
-
- Both devices are intended for use in Radiology
-
- Both devices are zero-footprint web-based JavaScript applications supporting common desktop browsers (e.g., Edge, Chrome, Safari)
-
- Both devices display DICOM images
-
- Both devices allow common image viewing tools such as Pan, Zoom, Window/Level, Rotate, & Scroll/Paqe
-
- Both devices display annotations and measurement results from Al algorithms
-
- Both devices allow the physician to control the editing and adjustment of the Al results (annotations and measurements)
-
- Both devices provide flexible layout preferences
The only difference between the two devices is that Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer provides more functionality than the Fovia Al Viewer - it could also be described as Fovia Al Viewer being a subset of the Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer. For example:
-
Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer supports images in a long list of -ology's (including radiology), while the Fovia Al Viewer is intended to be used only in radiology.
-
Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer supports both Desktop Browser and Mobile environments while Fovia Al Viewer supports only Desktop Browser environments.
-
Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer can be "used for image manipulation by radiology technologists (as well as radiologists for its other functionality)" while the Fovia Al Viewer is intended to be used by radiologists (for the same functionality at Ramsoft OmegaAl Image Viewer and not by radiology technologists at all).
Conclusion:
The comparison of the Subject Device with the predicate device shows that the aiCockpit Al Viewer software has similar functionality, intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device. Based on the predicate and the performance testing conducted, the Subject Device is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
