No
The summary describes a system for storing and remotely accessing diagnostic images and surgical plans. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies for image processing, analysis, or plan generation.

No
The device is used for storing, providing remote viewing access to diagnostic images, and setting surgical plans. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition, therefore it does not meet the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device stores and provides remote viewing access to diagnostic images and helps set surgical plans, but it does not perform diagnostic functions itself.

No

The device is described as a "network server system" which implies hardware components in addition to software for storage and communication. While it provides remote access and planning capabilities via software, the core system is a server, not purely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The StealthSERVER™ system is described as an "Image Storage and Communication System" used to store and provide remote viewing access to diagnostic images and to set surgical plans. It deals with medical images, not biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Keywords: The description does not mention any activities related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or performing laboratory tests, which are characteristic of IVDs.

The device's function is focused on managing and utilizing medical images for diagnostic review and surgical planning, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

§ 892.2020 Medical image communications device.

(a)
Identification. A medical image communications device provides electronic transfer of medical image data between medical devices. It may include a physical communications medium, modems, and interfaces. It may provide simple image review software functionality for medical image processing and manipulation, such as grayscale window and level, zoom and pan, user delineated geometric measurements, compression, or user added image annotations. The device does not perform advanced image processing or complex quantitative functions. This does not include electronic transfer of medical image software functions.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 892.9.

Dear Mr. White:

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 (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 requlation (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 requiration may result in requlatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to vour 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 800.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
