Intended Use
The EPS system is a digital recording system designed for use as an electronic photospot device on OEM manufactured Radiographic & Fluoroscopic ("R/F") systems. The system is modular in configuration allowing single and dual room configurations for acquisition and/or review, providing assistance to Radiologic Technologists in routine diagnostic examinations and special procedures in R/F. The EPS system may be used to acquire, display, record, archive, and disseminate digital R/F image data.
Device Description
The Electronic PhotoSpot (EPS) is a 10 bit PC based multitasking acquisition/display system configured for use in R/F applications. This system is designed for use by a qualified Radiologic Technologist. More specifically, the EPS system is a digital recording system designed for use as an electronic photospot device on OEM manufactured R/F systems. This system consists of independent and simultaneous acquisition of data, review, post processing of raw data and archive transfer functions. The system is modular in configuration allowing single and dual room configurations for acquisition and/or review. The system has 10 bit, 1024 digital acquisition, display and storage capability and uses a Windows based operator interface on the Operator Console/Review Station. It includes the following major components (minimally): Pentium computers, Image monitor(s), Camera X-Ray Interface, MOD media for archival, Software program developed by Marquette Medical Systems to run in conjunction with Microsoft Windows NT. The EPS provides image acquisition, display, archival, and exchange media compliant with the DICOM 3.0 standard. Furthermore, the EPS allows connection to the medical facility's existing LAN network for data dissemination to support reviews, reports, and patient billing.

No
The description focuses on standard digital image acquisition, processing, display, and archiving functionalities typical of a digital recording system for R/F. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest learning from data or performing tasks typically associated with AI/ML algorithms (e.g., automated detection, diagnosis assistance based on learned patterns). The "post processing of raw data" is a common function in digital imaging and does not inherently imply AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as a digital recording system for acquiring, displaying, recording, archiving, and disseminating digital R/F image data, which is an imaging and data management function, not a therapeutic one.

No.
The document states that the system provides "assistance to Radiologic Technologists in routine diagnostic examinations". While it processes and disseminates image data, its primary role is as a recording and display system for R/F images, not to provide a diagnosis itself. It supports diagnostic examinations but does not perform them.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as "Pentium computers, Image monitor(s), Camera X-Ray Interface, MOD media for archival". While it includes software, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the system is for use as an electronic photospot device on R/F systems to acquire, display, record, archive, and disseminate digital R/F image data. This is related to medical imaging of the human body, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the components and functions related to acquiring, processing, and managing radiographic and fluoroscopic images. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is Radiographic & Fluoroscopic ("R/F"), which are imaging modalities used to visualize internal structures of the body, not to analyze in vitro samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device's function is entirely focused on capturing and managing medical images.

§ 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)

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 Feleval Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through persons, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify systems. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, 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 the Electronic Product 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.
