Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to allow storage and retrieval of medical images for purposes of assisting in the diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases.
Device Description
The ImageACCESS® system is a complete clinical image management system providing direct capture, retrieval, storage, and transmission of images, reports and patient demographics. These images include, but are not limited to, Flat film Radiology, computer Tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Images from such devices are directly recorded/retrieved on/from optical disk recorders.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on image management (storage, retrieval, transmission) and does not mention any analytical or processing capabilities that would typically involve AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an image management system for storage and retrieval of medical images to assist in diagnosis and/or treatment, but it does not directly treat a disease.

Yes
The intended use explicitly states "assisting in the diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases," indicating a diagnostic purpose. The device also manages medical images such as CT, MRI, and PET scans, which are used for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "direct capture, retrieval, storage, and transmission of images, reports and patient demographics" and that "Images from such devices are directly recorded/retrieved on/from optical disk recorders." This implies hardware components (recorders, storage media) are part of the system, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the storage and retrieval of medical images to assist in diagnosis and treatment. This is a function related to managing and accessing diagnostic information, not performing a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on managing images from various imaging modalities (Radiology, CT, MRI, PET). It describes a system for capturing, storing, and transmitting these images. This is an image management system, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process that would involve testing a sample in vitro to provide diagnostic information.

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality. This device does not fit 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.
