Intended Use
The VisiShare Imaging System and/or Software is a digital imaging viewing system that receives digital images and patient demographic information from various imaging sources. The incoming data formats are standard medical image formats, proprietary image formats, and common non-medical image formats. The VisiShare allows the operator to manage, view, retrieve and store images, modify image parameters and annotate image for the purposes of radiological interpretation.
Device Description
The VisiShare Imaging System is designed to accept images from various modalities or digital image networks and allow the operator to view, retrieve, store and manipulate medical images in a variety of formats. The VisiShare is a modular system that uses network and proprietary interfaces for communication between the modules. Network interfaces enable the various modules to reside on local or remote machines. System is designed for low-end and high-end systems, supporting single or multiple monitor configurations.

No
The document describes a standard medical image viewing and management system with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The functionalities listed are typical for Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) or similar image viewers.

No
The device is described as a digital imaging viewing system used for managing, viewing, retrieving, storing, and annotating images for radiological interpretation, not for directly treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The VisiShare Imaging System is described as a "digital imaging viewing system" that allows operators to "manage, view, retrieve and store images, modify image parameters and annotate image for the purposes of radiological interpretation." It does not perform any analysis or provide diagnostic information; its function is solely to display and manipulate images that are already acquired from other sources.

Yes

The description explicitly states "The VisiShare Imaging System and/or Software" and describes its function as receiving, managing, viewing, retrieving, storing, modifying, and annotating digital images. While it interacts with imaging sources and potentially hardware for display, the core functionality described is software-based image handling and manipulation for radiological interpretation. The description of a "modular system" with network interfaces further supports a software-centric architecture.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The description of the VisiShare Imaging System focuses on receiving, managing, viewing, and manipulating digital images from various imaging sources (like modalities or networks). It does not mention analyzing biological samples or specimens.
  • The intended use is for radiological interpretation. This involves the analysis of medical images, not the analysis of biological samples.
  • The device description focuses on image handling and viewing. It describes a system for accepting, viewing, retrieving, storing, and manipulating medical images. This aligns with the function of a medical image viewer or PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), not an IVD.

Therefore, the VisiShare Imaging System falls under the category of a medical image management and viewing system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Network interfaces enable the various modules to reside on local or remote machines. System is designed for low-end and high-end systems, supporting single or multiple monitor configurations.

The VisiShare Imaging System and/or Software is designed to run on off-the-shelf, general purpose computing equipment. The application software is designed for maximum portability across operating systems and hardware platforms. Performance of the application software is primarily a function of network load; secondarily a function of the hardware platform's computational speed and finally the performance of the display controller. Intrinsic performance of the application does not change significantly as it is ported from one operating system to another.

Dear Mr. Finegan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent for the stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
