Intended Use
The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station and/or Software is a uni-directional gateway that receives digital or analog images from various image sources (including, but not limited to, film digitizers, video signal outputs or print output from imaging modalities, or other imaging sources). The incoming data formats are bitmapped, raster images or proprietary to the modality source vendor. The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station and/or Software converts the data to DICOM, ACR-NEMA v2.0, SPI format or other proprietary data format and transmits the data to one or more user-specified nodes across a standard, general purpose computing network.
Device Description
The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station is a general purpose computer system running an image acquisition software application to receive, reformat and transmit image and demographic information. The system receives the image messages from a source (film digitizer, video source, ultrasound, print output, etc.) and routes them automatically through a conversion to a destination based on information contained in the message source, encoded data and data entered by an operator through a user interface. The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station stores the data on its local hard disk until the destination application acknowledges the successful transmission. Images not delivered to their destination are queved for retransmission until the remote destination confirms receipt of the message. Image delivery is also guaranteed when the Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station loses power and is restarted. The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station is adaptable to various PACS environments. The configuration can be modified by the system administrator to adapt the Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station to perform functions specific to the site.

No
The description focuses on image acquisition, reformatting, and transmission, which are standard image processing and data handling tasks, not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts.

No
The device primarily functions as a data acquisition and conversion system for medical images, facilitating the transfer of image files between different systems. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on a patient.

No

This device is described as a "uni-directional gateway" that receives and reformats images for transmission, essentially serving as a data conversion and transfer system. It does not perform analysis or interpretation of medical images to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "The Imageshare Secondary Capture Acquisition Station is a general purpose computer system running an image acquisition software application," indicating it includes hardware (a general purpose computer system) in addition to the software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a "uni-directional gateway" for receiving, converting, and transmitting medical images. It focuses on data handling and format conversion, not on analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro tests.
  • Device Description: The device description reinforces this by explaining it's a "general purpose computer system running an image acquisition software application to receive, reformat and transmit image and demographic information." It's about managing image data flow.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic results based on laboratory tests.

The device's function is related to medical imaging data management, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
