More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes image registration and comparison software without mentioning AI or ML, and the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device aids in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy planning by processing and registering medical images, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition. Its function is for image comparison and analysis, which supports clinical decision-making rather than providing therapy itself.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "for use in diagnostic radiology". Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions "a use of previously recorded diagnostic information from follow-up studies."

Yes

The device is described as a "software option for the Advantage Windows Workstation" and its function is image comparison and registration, which are software-based processes. There is no mention of any hardware components being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this software is used for comparing and registering 3D images from CT and MR scans of a patient. It processes images of the patient, not specimens taken from the patient.
  • The examples of application are all related to image analysis and visualization for diagnostic and planning purposes. None of the examples involve testing biological samples.

The device is a medical image processing and analysis software intended for use in diagnostic radiology and radiation therapy planning.

§ 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)

Image /page/1/Picture/3 description: The image shows a dark, round object with a slightly irregular surface. The object appears to be solid and opaque, with no visible internal details. The lighting on the object suggests a smooth, reflective surface, with a highlight on the upper right side. The background is plain and white, which helps to isolate the object and emphasize its shape and texture.

Dear Dr. Kroger:

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 requlations 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.
