Intended Use

The Olicon Gateway is a uni-directional device that receives digital images and data from various image sources, (including but not limited to CT Scanners, MR Scanners, Ultrasound systems, R/F Units, Computed & Direct Radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, imaging gateways, or other imaging sources).

The incoming data formats are ACR-NEMA v2.0, DICOM, or SPI (Standard Product Interconnect) or proprietary to the modality source vendor. The Olicon Gateway, 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 across a standard general purpose computing network.

Typical users of this system are trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians, nurses and medical technicians.

Device Description

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. The system is capable of receiving images from different sources and routes them automatically to predefined destinations.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Olicon Gateway, a device for converting and transmitting digital images and data, and its 510(k) submission. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets such criteria in terms of performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity.

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Device Description: What the Olicon Gateway is and how it functions as a protocol converter.
  • Indications for Use: The purpose and scope of the device.
  • Technological Characteristics: Reinforcing its function as a general-purpose computer system with software for protocol conversion.
  • Safety and Effectiveness (Performance Data): It only mentions that "The subject and predicate devices both use standard data communications controls to detect and correct errors" and that "The subject device complies with UL-1950 Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment, Including Electrical Business Equipment."
  • Conclusion on Substantial Equivalence: It asserts equivalence to a predicate device (DEJARNETTE RESEARCH SYSTEMS IMAGESHARE PROTOCOL CONVERTING GATEWAY AND/OR SOFTWARE - K963592) based on shared safety features (UL-1950 compliance, reliance on human intervention for interpretation, password protection) and functional similarity as a communications protocol converter.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them, as these details are not present in the provided text. The document is a 510(k) summary, which often focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific performance studies with quantitative metrics.

Device Description: [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)]

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. The system is capable of receiving images from different sources and routes them automatically to predefined destinations.

Indications for Use: [21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)]

The Olicon Gateway is a uni-directional device that receives digital images and data from various image sources, (including but not limited to CT Scanners, MR Scanners, Ultrasound systems, R/F Units, Computed & Direct Radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, imaging gateways, or other imaging sources).

The incoming data formats are ACR-NEMA v2.0, DICOM, or SPI (Standard Product Interconnect) or proprietary to the modality source vendor. The Olicon Gateway, converts the imaging or other data into DICOM, ACR-

{1}------------------------------------------------

NEMA v2.0, SPI (Standard Product Interconnect) or proprietary data format and transmits the data to one or more user specified locations across a standard general purpose computing network. Typical users of this system are trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians, nurses and medical technicians.

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.
