No
The description focuses on data format conversion and routing, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like image analysis, pattern recognition, or learning from data.

No
The device is described as a "uni-directional device that receives digital images and data from various image sources" and "converts the imaging or other data into DICOM, ACR-NEMA v2.0, SPI (Standard Product Interconnect) or proprietary data format and transmits the data to one or more user specified locations". It is a data management and conversion tool, not something that directly treats or diagnoses a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a "uni-directional device that receives digital images and data" and "converts the imaging or other data into DICOM, ACR-NEMA v2.0, SPI...and transmits the data." It acts as a protocol conversion and transmission system for medical images, not a tool that interprets or analyzes data to make a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "general purpose computer system consisting of a computer (console, display, keyboard, and mouse) and software," indicating it includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Olicon Gateway's Function: The Olicon Gateway's primary function is to receive, convert, and transmit digital medical images and data from various imaging modalities (CT, MR, Ultrasound, etc.). It acts as a data routing and format conversion tool.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. The device works with digital image data, not physical samples from a patient.
  • Focus on Data Handling: The core of the device is its protocol conversion software and its ability to route data. This is a data management function, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, the Olicon Gateway falls under the category of medical imaging data management or communication devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Technological Characteristics: [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]

The Olicon Gateway system is a general purpose computer system consisting of a computer (console, display, keyboard, and mouse) and software which runs a protocol conversion software application that uses defined configuration to receive, reformat, and transmit images and demographic information. It functions as a communications protocol converter and not as a permanent image store device. The system is capable of receiving images from different sources and routes them automatically to predefined destinations.

Performance Data: [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]

The subject and predicate devices both use standard data communications controls to detect and correct errors.

The subject device complies with UL-1950 Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment, Including Electrical Business Equipment.

Conclusion: [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]

Similar to the predicate device, the Olicon Gateway does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. Images and information being relayed and or transmitted are interpreted by a physician or trained medical personnel, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention.

The subject device and the predicate share the same certification of conformance to UL-1950 and both function as a communications protocol converter to relay and transmit images and data from different modalities and sources to specified locations. Device failures which might result in partial or failed transmissions may be recovered by re-transmission after correcting the problems. Passwords are required for operation and to protect against unauthorized use of the system.

We conclude that the subject devices are safe, effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
