Device Description
uPACS is a software controlled microprocessor based archiving system using installed proprietary software for recording, storage and presentation of video ultrasound images. The system is designed for connection to and use with FDA cleared ultrasound imaging equipment which provides video output and is cleared for operation and use in the patient environment. In the uPACS standard configuration, an FDA approved ultrasound imaging device (scanner) is connected to an IBM-compatible personal computer (PC). Images captured by the scanner are displayed on the monitor of the PC along with any text that is typed on the PC keyboard. The ultrasound image and patient text data can be stored on a CD-ROM in the PC, and images can be exported to an FDA approved printer by the PC. uPACS enables users to perform the following system functions: - View live images from user provided FDA approved ultrasound scanners or other NTSC or PAL video sources; - Capture single-frame images from ultrasound scanners or other NTSC or PAL video sources; - Obtain text data directly from captured images; - Edit text and image data before permanent storage; - Review stored images on the system and on CD-ROM; - Display up to four images at a time for review; - Place notations directly on images; - Archive images using CD-ROM; - Export images to diskette and user provided printer(s); - Provide a means for user training and proficiency demonstration; - Assign security privileges to specific users in accordance with clinical access criteria.

The description focuses on basic image capture, storage, and display functionalities, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities like automated analysis, pattern recognition, or predictive features.

No
The device is described as an archiving system for recording, storage, and presentation of video ultrasound images. It does not provide any therapy or treatment.

No

The device is described as an archiving system for recording, storage, and presentation of video ultrasound images. Its functions revolve around managing images from FDA approved ultrasound equipment, not interpreting or analyzing them for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "software controlled microprocessor based archiving system" and describes its connection to an "IBM-compatible personal computer (PC)" and the use of a "CD-ROM" and "printer(s)". This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • This device, uPACS, is an archiving system for video ultrasound images. It captures, stores, and presents images obtained directly from an ultrasound scanner.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state its function is related to managing and displaying medical images, not analyzing biological samples.

The device's purpose is to handle and manage imaging data, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices or picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), not in vitro diagnostics.
