Intended Use
The ImMerge Image Correlation Software Version 2.0 is intended to provide precise spatial registration of two image sets for the purpose of enhancing the imaging information presented to a physician. The resulting image sets can then be used for diagnosis and planning treatments such as image guided surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, or radiotherapy.
Device Description

More Information

No
The summary describes an image correlation system for spatial registration, which is a standard image processing technique. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts, and the description of the device and its intended use aligns with traditional image processing methods.

No
The device is intended for diagnosis and planning treatments, but not for direct therapeutic intervention. It enhances imaging information for physicians to use in their diagnostic and planning processes.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the resulting image sets "can then be used for diagnosis and planning treatments." While it does not directly perform the diagnosis, it provides essential information for a physician to make a diagnosis, thus functioning as a diagnostic aid.

Yes

The device is described as "Image Correlation Software" and "image processing system," with no mention of accompanying hardware components. The predicate device is also an "Image Correlation System," implying a software-centric function.

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 software is for "enhancing the imaging information presented to a physician" and for "diagnosis and planning treatments such as image guided surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, or radiotherapy." This involves processing medical images obtained from the patient's body, not analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Device Description: It's described as an "image correlation system" and "image processing system." These descriptions align with medical imaging software, not devices used for in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device operates on medical images, which are a different type of data.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

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 redassified 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 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.
