No
The summary explicitly states "There is no image processing used with this software" and "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found". The description focuses on DICOM compatibility and image viewing, not advanced analytical capabilities.

No
The device is described as a DICOM software package for viewing radiological images on a PC and does not mention any therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as a "DICOM software package" that enables a PC to be used as a "Radiological image viewer." It facilitates viewing images from various sources like CT scanners but does not perform any diagnostic analysis itself.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The Film Express software is a DICOM software package" and the intended use describes it as a "DICOM software package". There is no mention of accompanying hardware being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to enable a hospital PC to be used as a radiological image viewer, receiving images from various DICOM conformant devices like scanners, digitizers, and CT scanners. This is focused on displaying and viewing medical images, not on performing tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a DICOM software package for viewing radiological images.
  • No mention of biological samples or testing: There is no indication that this software interacts with or analyzes biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performs any kind of diagnostic test on them.
  • Focus on image viewing: The core function described is the viewing of existing radiological images.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This software's function falls outside of that definition.

§ 892.2020 Medical image communications device.

(a)
Identification. A medical image communications device provides electronic transfer of medical image data between medical devices. It may include a physical communications medium, modems, and interfaces. It may provide simple image review software functionality for medical image processing and manipulation, such as grayscale window and level, zoom and pan, user delineated geometric measurements, compression, or user added image annotations. The device does not perform advanced image processing or complex quantitative functions. This does not include electronic transfer of medical image software functions.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 892.9.

Safety and Effectiveness 1.9

In accordance with the provisions of the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990, Mitra Imaging, Inc. is providing a summary of safety and effectiveness information regarding the Film Express software.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

The device labeling contains instructions for use and indication for use.

The hardware components specified (but not supplied) are all "off the shelf" computer components.

Validation and Effectiveness:

Extensive testing of the software package has been performed by programmers, by non-programmers, and by potential customers. Software is only used for control purposes and has no bearing on image quality. There is no image processing used with this software.

Images that are compressed are properly identified in the image information as being compressed as specified by the DICOM standard. This compression identification remains with the image for the entire life of the image.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Film Express software is a software package used for archiving and transmission of radiological images. The intended use and technological characteristics of the system are similar to the Dejarnette, Imageshare 910 Film Digitizing Acquisition Station. Any differences between the Film Express software and the equivalent device have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness.

Its is our conclusion that there is no software component that we know of in the Film Express software whose failure or latent design flaw would be expected to result in death or injury to a patient.
