The DICOM storage service class functionality is provided by two applications that execute on the NAD platform. The applications act as proxies for DICOM storage Service Class Provider (SCP) devices and storage Service Class User (SCU) devices on either end of a transportation network connection. The storage SCP proxy is configure-able to emulate another SCP device that is the destination of DICOM data. The file is moved across the transportation network to one or more destination NADs. On the destination NAD is a proxy SCU application that is configured to emulate the original SCU that sent the data. The original DICOM message file is kept intact as it is processed through the originating NAD and transmitted via the pathway.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the NetCo Medical Data Transportation Service software. It primarily focuses on regulatory approval, intended use, and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a detailed study proving device performance against acceptance criteria.

As such, the document does not contain the information required to populate the table and answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving performance.

The document states:

Intended Use: "The NetCo MDTS software is intended to be used in the transportation, storage, and retrieval of digital patient files."
Device Description: It describes the software's functionality in handling DICOM storage service class, acting as proxies for SCP and SCU devices, moving files across a network, and keeping the original DICOM message file intact.
Comparison of technological characteristics: "The NetCo MDTS software and the predicate product software all employ proprietary software and DICOM file standards to interface with a health care subscriber's network to transmit, store and retrieve medical image data."

However, it does not include:

A table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics (e.g., speed of transfer, data integrity percentage, error rates for storage/retrieval).
Details of any specific study conducted to demonstrate the device meets performance criteria, including sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, or adjudication methods.
Information on multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies or standalone algorithm performance.
Details on training sets.

Therefore, I cannot fill out the requested table or answer the specific questions based on the provided text. The document is a regulatory submission summary, not a technical performance report.

Dear Mr. Quintavalle:

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 receral Food, Drug, 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 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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. 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.

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/dsmamain.html": ---------
