Intended Use
EasyCorrect is intended for use in situations where digital images acquired from fluoroscopic imaging systems without distortion are required. The corrected images may be either hard-copy or soft-copy. Examples of (but not limited to) such situations are: making stereotactic measurements for Radiation Treatment Planning Systems or reconstructing digital spotfilm series into composite (survey) images.
Device Description
The EasyCorrect package is an option to the Vascular Analysis Package. EasyCorrect will support the creation of images acquired by a digital image intensifier based system that can be compared to conventional acquired images (cassette film). Thereby the same measurements can be performed on the digital acquired image as on the conventional acquired image. The EasyCorrect package will correct images for distortion through the following process: Calibration and clinical images are acquired according to acquisition protocols described in documentation delivered with the system. The calibration image will be acquired with a grid phantom included in the package. The software will compare the geometric characteristics of the calibration image (taken with the grid) with the actual geometrical characteristics of the grid. The difference(s) in geometrical characteristics between the two images is a measure of the distortion(s) in the digital acquired image. By applying the result of this calculation of distortion to clinical images taken under the same conditions as the calibration grid image, the clinical images can be corrected for the distortion(s) introduced by the digital technique.

No
The description details a deterministic image correction process based on comparing a calibration grid image to a known grid geometry, not AI/ML.

No
The device corrects distortion in digital images from fluoroscopic systems for measurement purposes but does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is an image processing system designed to correct distortions in medical images for better measurement and analysis, not to diagnose a medical condition.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The EasyCorrect package is an option to the Vascular Analysis Package" and describes a software process for image correction. While it interacts with hardware (digital image intensifier based system), the device itself, as described, is the software package performing the correction.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is focused on correcting distortion in digital images acquired from fluoroscopic imaging systems for purposes like stereotactic measurements and image reconstruction. This is related to medical imaging and treatment planning, not the analysis of biological samples or substances from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a process of image correction based on a calibration grid. This is a technical process applied to images, not a diagnostic test performed on patient samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The device is clearly an image processing system designed to improve the quality and accuracy of medical images for clinical use, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).
