Intended Use
The Slice Editor Imaging Software Utility is an image manipulation and eontouring software package for use in surgical and treatment planning. The Slice Editor can replace the IMEX contouring utility as the component for contouring anatomes in all applications in which IMEX is currently utilized.
Device Description
The "Slice Editor" utility. It is an upgraded version of software intended for use in with surgical and treatment planning svstems where a graphical editing facility is used to create and modify anatomical structures. The common name is image editing software and its classification name is Stereotaxic instrument (accessory/utility).
More Information

No
The summary describes image manipulation and contouring software, which are standard image processing techniques, and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as image manipulation and contouring software for surgical and treatment planning, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition. Its function is to aid in planning, not to provide therapy itself.

No.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the software is for "image manipulation and contouring... for use in surgical and treatment planning." It is an image editing tool for planning, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

Yes

The device is described as a "software package" and "utility" for image manipulation and contouring, with no mention of accompanying hardware components. Its function is purely software-based image processing for surgical and treatment planning.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "surgical and treatment planning" and "contouring anatomies." This is a direct application in the clinical setting for patient care, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use with "surgical and treatment planning systems" and as "image editing software" for creating and modifying anatomical structures. This aligns with clinical imaging and planning tools.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

The device is clearly intended as a tool for manipulating medical images for the purpose of planning surgical procedures and treatments, which falls under the category of medical device software used in clinical practice, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description

The name of this device is the "Slice Editor" utility. It is an upgraded version of software intended for use in with surgical and treatment planning svstems where a graphical editing facility is used to create and modify anatomical structures. The common name is image editing software and its classification name is Stereotaxic instrument (accessory/utility). The Slice Editor software is totally compatible with IMEX in its applications. When installed, Slice Editor provides the same anatomical data to the workstation as previously supplied with IMEX. The Slice Editor is intended to serve as an image manipulation and contouring package for use with existing and new RSA applications.

§ 892.5050 Medical charged-particle radiation therapy system.

(a)
Identification. A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II. When intended for use as a quality control system, the film dosimetry system (film scanning system) included as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

510(k) Summary

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 and 21 C.F.R. § 807.92.

  1. The submitter of this premarket notification is:

Lisa Misterka Benati Senior Regulatory Engineer Radionics Software Applications, Inc. 22 Terry Avenue Burlington, MA 01803 Tel: (781) 272 - 1233 Fax: (781) 272 - 2428

This summary was prepared on April 30, 1998.

  1. The name of this device is the "Slice Editor" utility. It is an upgraded version of software intended for use in with surgical and treatment planning svstems where a graphical editing facility is used to create and modify anatomical structures. The common name is image editing software and its classification name is Stereotaxic instrument (accessory/utility).

  2. The Slice Editor software is substantially equivalent to the IMEX software used in Radionics' XPlan-1 for radiology applications (K972905) and its StereoPlan used for neurology applications (K946252).

  3. The Slice Editor software is totally compatible with IMEX in its applications. When installed, Slice Editor provides the same anatomical data to the workstation as previously supplied with IMEX.

  4. The Slice Editor is intended to serve as an image manipulation and contouring package for use with existing and new RSA applications. There is no change to indications for use.

  5. The technological characteristics are the same or similar to those found with the predicate devices where contouring sessions generate anatomical data to assist in the treatment planning process.
