Intended Use
Uses for XrayVision in the dental industry are as follows: - Permits sending of data by email, client/server, ftp, phone and floppy disk . - Organize and archive x-rays and patient related files . - Facilitate sharing and transmission of information between doctors, other applications and other computers - Ability to place markers and annotations on x-rays for diagnostic purposes . - Allows user to take calibrated measurements . - Provide image-processing tools such as sharpening, colorizing, resizing, etc. (none of which physically alter images). - Electronic transmission of images to insurance companies or specialist . When using XrayVision for diagnostic purposes the general public will be the doctor/dentist population. This software is primarily used to store a patient's imaging data (i.e. x-rays) in a form compatible with today's networked online practice management software. This software may also be used to transmit radiographs to specialists who will be treating the patient or the insurance company for approval of procedure and etc.
Device Description
XrayVision is a software package designed to work with standard PC compatible computers capable of running Windows 95 or higher (32-bit operating systems). This software is designed to be a fully functional digital radiograph scanning, archiving, electronic transmission and diagnostic review system. XrayVision permits the acquisition of images directly from commercially available scanners, digital cameras, intra-oral cameras, etc. Once an image has been converted into digital form, Xray Vision permits the user to easily organize and archive digital radiographs, images, and other patient related files to various archiving media (e.g. removable media, storage servers, hard drives, etc.). XrayVision provides tools that permit the user to enhance images and place markers and annotations on radiographs to aid in the diagnostic process. The image enhancements provided by this software package utilize industry standard algorithms that do not result in the alteration of an image's or a radiograph's content. Unlike a direct digital system, XrayVision does not control the x-ray taking system and does not generate x-ray images directly from the physical world (XrayVision processes images and radiographs produced from other devices and physical media). XrayVision only permits enhancing radiographs for diagnostic purposes and does not allow the introduction of false data or the modification of the images and radiographs in any way. To facilitate better correlation of information with images, XrayVision permits direct association of custom information with an image. Using these associations the user is able to relate doctor information, a patient's information, procedure, etc. with an image. When an image is transferred to another location, these associations guarantee that the correct information is always associated with an image (it is stored along with the image). Electronic transmission capabilities are provided so that images can be sent to specialists and insurance companies for claims processing and diagnostic review. To ensure the originality and security of information, XrayVision contains security features such as digital signatures, encrypted transfers, image tracking and password protection to keep radiographs and other information safe from others and to prevent image modifications.

The description focuses on standard image processing, archiving, and transmission functionalities without mentioning AI or ML algorithms.

No.
Explanation: The device is software that processes and archives medical images for diagnostic purposes, without directly treating or diagnosing patients.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "Ability to place markers and annotations on x-rays for diagnostic purposes." and "When using XrayVision for diagnostic purposes the general public will be the doctor/dentist population." The "Device Description" also mentions it is "designed to be a fully functional digital radiograph scanning, archiving, electronic transmission and diagnostic review system" and "provides tools that permit the user to enhance images and place markers and annotations on radiographs to aid in the diagnostic process."

Yes

The device is described as a "software package" and its function is to process, organize, archive, and transmit digital images acquired from other devices. It explicitly states it "does not control the x-ray taking system and does not generate x-ray images directly from the physical world," indicating it is not a hardware device that acquires images.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • XrayVision's Function: XrayVision's primary functions are related to the management, processing, and transmission of medical images (specifically dental x-rays). It works with images already acquired from other devices (scanners, cameras) and does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are focused on image organization, archiving, sharing, annotation, measurement, and transmission for diagnostic review and administrative purposes (insurance). While it aids in the diagnostic process by providing tools for viewing and enhancing images, it does not perform the diagnostic test itself on a biological sample.

Therefore, XrayVision falls under the category of medical imaging software or picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) rather than In Vitro Diagnostics.
