No
The document describes a standard digital workstation for viewing, storing, and analyzing ultrasound images. It mentions "processing" but does not include any terms related to AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, nor does it describe any AI/ML-specific features or performance metrics.

No.
The device is described as an Ultrasound Workstation used for the capture, storage, review, analysis, display, and processing of ultrasound images, and for functional diagnosis. It does not actively treat or prevent a disease or condition, which are characteristic functions of a therapeutic device.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "designed to support functional diagnósis by performing display, processing, measurement and analysis of ultrasound images."

No

The device description explicitly states that the unit is comprised of a standard desktop type personal computer, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and connecting cables, indicating it includes 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 device is for the capture, storage, review, and analysis of ultrasound images. It supports "functional diagnosis" by processing and analyzing these images. This is focused on interpreting images generated from the body, not on analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a workstation connected to an ultrasound scanner, designed for viewing, annotating, and analyzing image data.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is centered around the processing and analysis of medical images, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices or image processing software, not IVD.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(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)
