Intended Use
The AccessPoint™ software is intended to translate different medical image formats into a single format suitable for display on a standard Personal Computer.
Device Description
Generally speaking, AccessPoint is a software product designed to provide the translation of different medical image formats into a form compatible to be displayed on a standard PC. Connection between sites including hospitals, out reach clinics, physician home and office are provided through the use of e-mail. The images and reports (patient studies) may be transported via e-mail in a secure manor (encryption of data) following standards used by the Internet and local LAN (Intranet), transport systems. A description of the various elements follow: The AccessPoint™ software conforms to DICOM V3 service classes in the role of Service Class Reader.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a software for image format translation and display, with no mention of AI or ML technologies, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as software that translates medical image formats for display on a standard PC and does not directly provide therapy or therapeutic interventions.

No

The AccessPoint™ software is intended for translating medical image formats for display on a PC and does not perform any diagnostic analysis of the images.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "software product" and states that "No special image processing hardware is required," indicating it functions solely through software on a standard PC.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "translate different medical image formats into a single format suitable for display on a standard Personal Computer." This is a data processing and display function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on software for image format translation and secure transport of images and reports. It doesn't mention any interaction with biological specimens or the generation of diagnostic results from such specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely related to the handling and display of medical images, which are typically generated by imaging modalities like ultrasound and nuclear medicine, not from in vitro testing.
