Intended Use

The product is an image processing workstation software package designed to run on standard PC hardware. The hardware is all "off-the-shelf" standard computer components and may be purchased independently by the end user or supplied by NIT. The NIT InSight™ software receives image files from medical scanning devices, such as CT or MRI and performs real time viewing, image manipulation, 3D and 4D visualization, communication, and archiving.

Device Description

The InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation receives image files from medical scanning devices, such as CT or MRI and performs real-time viewing, image manipulation, three and four dimensional visualization, communication, and archiving. All of the functions are supported on standard personal computer platform for ease of cost and maintenance. The use of Microsoft Windows NT™ operating system makes the InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation easy to use and capable of being integrated with your other computer needs.

AI/ML Overview

This document primarily focuses on the 510(k) submission for the Neo Imagery Technologies Inc., InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation, asserting its substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a dedicated study proving the device meets specific performance criteria.

The device is being cleared based on its equivalence to existing PACS systems, which implies it operates under similar performance expectations but doesn't detail new, specific performance metrics or studies to validate them for this particular submission.

Therefore, requested information, such as specific acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, types of ground truth, and training set information (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), is not available within the provided text.

The document states:

  • Device Description and Intended Use: The InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation receives image files from medical scanning devices, performs real-time viewing, image manipulation, three and four-dimensional visualization, communication, and archiving.
  • Substantial Equivalence: The submission argues that the InSight™ device is substantially equivalent to K965179 (Neo Imagery Technologies Inc., InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation) and K961023 (AccuImage, AIDP).
  • Software Certification: Neo Imagery Technologies Inc. certifies that the InSight™ software is designed, developed, tested, and validated according to written procedures.
  • Hazard Analysis: The potential hazards are deemed "no different than those of other PACS components" and are primarily related to computer system component failure, not expected to "materially contribute to patient death or injury." The "Level of Concern" is "Minor."

In essence, the document confirms the device's regulatory pathway (510(k)) and its intended use, but it doesn't offer the detailed study information regarding acceptance criteria for device performance that you requested.

7. Software

Neo Imagery Technologies Inc. certifies that the InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation software is designed, developed, tested and validated according to written procedures. These procedures identify individuals within the organization responsible for developing and approving product specifications, coding and testing, validation testing and field maintenance.

8. Hazard Analysis

Hazard analysis on this product has been performed throughout the definition, design, coding and testing phases of product development and implementation. This process has emphasized:

  • . identification of potential hazards, their causes, and their effects;
  • development of methodologies to control the occurrence of hazards and to . constrain their effects; and
  • Determine any effect on patient safety and system effectiveness. .

The potential hazards associated with this software product are no different than those of other PACS components . These are primarily related to failure of computer system components, and may be variously obviated by decisions taken by the customers of this product. None of these failures are expected to materially contribute to patient death or injury.

It is our conclusion that there is no hardware or software component, operating in a properly configured environment, whose failure or latent design defect would be expected to result in death or injury of a patient. Thus the "Level of Concern" is "Minor".

9. Safety Concerns

The hardware is "off-the-shelf" and complies with applicable electrical safety standards for standard PC hardware and peripherals.

Dear Ms. Young:

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 legally marketed predicate 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). 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 (QS) 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 notfication"(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/dsma/dsmamain.html".

(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)
