The description focuses on standard image acquisition, storage, viewing, and basic enhancement tools, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No.
The device is described as a software tool for acquiring, storing, viewing, processing, and communicating medical images and reports, not for directly treating a condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a software tool for acquiring, storing, reviewing, and communicating imaging results (x-ray video signal and DICOM CDs) from catheterization lab procedures. It provides image enhancement and reporting tools but does not explicitly state that it interprets or analyzes these images to diagnose medical conditions, nor does it mention any diagnostic capabilities in its intended use. Its functions are limited to data management, viewing, and communication.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "software device" and its functions are entirely software-based (acquiring, printing, archiving, communicating, viewing, enhancing, importing, generating, preparing, exporting data and images). While it operates on a PC and acquires an x-ray video signal, the device itself is the software component performing these actions.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The TCS software device is described as acquiring, processing, storing, and communicating medical images (specifically x-ray video signals from catheterization labs). It also handles reports and DICOM data.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens from the human body. Its function is centered around the management and viewing of medical images.
Therefore, the TCS falls under the category of medical imaging software or picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
The TCS provides a complete software tool for the convenient and efficient recording, storage, review, and communication of heart catheterization and other angiographic studies In the catheterization lab environment. The TCS also creates DICOM 3.0 CDs from the cath lab procedures.
The TCS operates on a WindowsNT® PC. The TCS automatically acquires the x-ray video signal and places each video inside the patient's file. The patient file may also contain single images from a video, and reports (which automatically include the full patient details and selected images from the procedure) in Microsoft® Word format. During the review of videos and single images, image enhancement tools, such as zooming, magnification, full screen view, playback loop and brightness, contrast and gamma controls may be applied.
As well as creating DICOM CDs, the TCS can also import data from DICOM CDs into its database, where they are written as patient files. Data may also be introduced to the TCS via telecardiology over an ISDN line, enabling professional consultation and referral of patients from level to level of the cardiac health care system. The patient files sent and received via telecardiology may also have vocal and graphic annotations attached to them. All new patient files, whether acquired from x-ray, imported from a DICOM CD, or received via telecardiology, are logged so that their source and ownership may easily be determined.

Dear Mr. Orbach:
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 indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drue, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, 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 II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major resulations 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. 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 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmaldsmam.html".
