The document describes standard image processing techniques (adaptive unsharp masking, tonescaling) and data routing, but makes no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training/test data sets.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a Quality Control Workstation used by radiologist technicians to manage patient and exam information, manipulate images for display, and route them. While it handles medical images, its primary functions are administrative and image presentation adjustments, not direct diagnostic or therapeutic interventions on a patient. It is a tool for managing image workflow and presentation, not for treating a condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a Quality Control Workstation that allows radiologist technicians to manage and manipulate patient and exam information, and images for display and routing, primarily for flexible analysis by physicians. While it mentions "image enhancement which allows for the proper display of the images for diagnostic purposes," its primary function is not to diagnose or provide diagnostic information itself, but rather to facilitate the display and management of images that are used for diagnosis. It is a tool for image processing and workflow management, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Sun Microsystems based workstation," indicating it includes hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "Quality Control Workstation" for the "display, printing, and manipulation of medical images." It focuses on managing and processing existing medical images (likely from imaging modalities like X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.).
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "radiologist technicians to enter patient information and/or correct erroneous patient information, exam information, and if necessary, the image look and/or image orientation." This is about managing and preparing images for physician analysis, not performing tests on biological samples.
- Lack of Biological Sample Handling: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing biological samples.
The device is clearly focused on the workflow and processing of medical images, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
Kodak's Quality Control Workstation is a Sun Microsystems based workstation for the display, printing, and manipulation of medical images. The Quality Control Workstation is designed with an ethernet interface to interface with other Kodak products or digital systems using ACR/NEMA compatible interfaces and or DICOM.
The patient is not connected to a Quality Control Workstation. The Quality Control Workstation does not control, monitor or affect any equipment that is directly involved with a patient.
The Quality Control Workstation is attached via a SCSI cable to a KODAK Digital Science Storage Phosphor Reader (K913354). The KDSSPR is not in direct contact with a patient. Therefore, the patient is electrically isolated from the Quality Control Workstation equipment and any conceivable electrical failure would not affect the patient.
The Quality Control Workstation does not manipulate data on which a primary diagnosis or finding may be based except to enhance portions of images for a clearer view.
Images displayed on the Quality Control Workstation will not be used for primary diagnosis. Images outputted from the Quality Control Workstation to a laser printer or workstations on the ethernet will be used for primary diagnosis. The evaluation of the hard copy output provides adequate opportunity for competent human intervention.
The primary function of the Quality Control Workstation is to display with no corruption of the image information. The level of concern associated with the function is minor, as failures or latent design flaws would not be expected to result in injury to the patient.
The general hardware configuration of the Quality Control Workstation contains the following major components:
Sun Microsystems Desktop Workstation with
- SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
- ethernet interface
- Floppy disk drive/ CD ROM drive

(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.

X. Indication for Use
The Quality Control Workstation allows radiologist technicians to enter patient information and/or correct erroneous patient information, exam information, and if necessary, the image look and/or image orientation. It allows them to route it to different locations to give greater flexibility to physicians in analyzing patient images.
XI. Methodology
The Quality Control Workstation acquires images from phosphor readers and attaches patient records for transmission to other systems.
The Quality Control Workstation can be use in two modes: pass through or manual mode. In pass through mode, an exam is processed at the Quality Control Workstation and then routed directly to its destination. In manual mode, a user must verify the image and Patient and exam information before releasing it to its destination.
The image enhancement which allows for the proper display of the images for diagnostic purposes is performed by adaptive unsharp masking processing and tonescaling.
It uses computed or user-specified values. This is a non-destructive image processing routine to the raw image. Because this routine modifies the original data, a copy of the original data is kept until the image has been approved and forwarded to a destination. The data remains at the Quality Control Workstation for a hospital configurable time before it is deleted.
For each raw image, the Quality Control Workstation generates at least one enhanced version. The number of enhanced versions is dependent on the type of exam and the user can create versions as needed. The raw data is never changed.
The Quality Control Workstation is a network-orientated workstation supporting the ACR/NEMA and or DICOM format over TCP/IP.
Images may be manipulated using a mouse/trackball for such functions as rotating and flipping.
