The summary describes a software device for image archival and retrieval within a PACS, with features like pre-fetching and auto-routing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The focus is on data management and access.
No
The device is a software for archiving and retrieving medical images within a PACS, which is not a therapeutic function.
No
The device is a software for archiving and retrieving medical images within a PACS. Its function is data management, not the diagnosis of medical conditions.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "VR SOFTSTORE is a software device" and describes its function as software modules within a PACS system for archival and retrieval of digital medical images. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software is for the "lossless archival storage and retrieval" of digital medical images within a PACS. This is a function related to managing and accessing medical images, not performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its role as an "image archive system" and a module for accessing images.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing chemical or biological tests, or providing diagnostic information based on such tests.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software's function is purely related to the management of medical images.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
VR SOFTSTORE is a software device intended to direct the lossless archival storage and retrieval, including the use of pre- fetching and auto-routing capabilities, of digital medical images within a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS).
VR SOFTSTORE may be used for the permanent storage and subsequent retrieval of any medical imaging data presented in DICOM or other supported format, within a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS).

§ 892.2020 Medical image communications device.
(a)
Identification. A medical image communications device provides electronic transfer of medical image data between medical devices. It may include a physical communications medium, modems, and interfaces. It may provide simple image review software functionality for medical image processing and manipulation, such as grayscale window and level, zoom and pan, user delineated geometric measurements, compression, or user added image annotations. The device does not perform advanced image processing or complex quantitative functions. This does not include electronic transfer of medical image software functions.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 892.9.

Dear Ms. Nakagawa:
Re: K980684
VR NetServe, PACS Web Access Software Module Dated: February 20, 1998 Received: February 23, 1998 Regulatory class: Unclassified Procode: 90 LMD
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, 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 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.
