Intended Use
QCA-CMS provides quantitative and reproducible information regarding the calculated dimensions of arterial segments imaged during angiographic x-ray procedures typically performed in cardiac cath labs. This information is suitable for use by physicians and scientists in the following applications: 1. Scientific and research studies, assessing the angiographic condition of patients and the results of device and drug therapies, 2. Review and analysis of patient angiographic imaging records, providing additional information to physicians and administrators.
Device Description
QCA-CMS performs quantitative analysis of angiograms that are input to the system in formats that include digitized video (from 35 mm cinefilm) and DICOM-file standard formats. The analysis results of the QCA-CMS operation may be printed or archived in files for export to a general-purpose database.
More Information

No
The summary describes quantitative analysis of angiograms using image processing techniques, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The predicate device is also from 1994, predating widespread clinical use of AI/ML in medical devices.

No.
The device provides quantitative measurements of arterial segments from angiographic images for analysis and review, rather than directly treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

Yes

The device provides quantitative and reproducible information regarding the calculated dimensions of arterial segments which is used for review and analysis of patient angiographic imaging records, providing additional information to physicians. This information aids in understanding the patient's condition, which is a diagnostic purpose.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that QCA-CMS performs quantitative analysis of angiograms that are input to the system in various digital formats. It does not mention any accompanying hardware components for image acquisition or processing beyond the software itself. The output is also described as being printed or archived in files, further indicating a software-based function.

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 QCA-CMS analyzes angiographic x-ray images, which are in vivo (within the living body) images, not samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes analyzing images to assess the condition of arterial segments and the results of therapies. This is based on visual information from the body, not laboratory analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the QCA-CMS falls under the category of medical imaging analysis software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

QCA-CMS allows the user to work productively in the increasingly digital world of images that are archived in DICOM formats as a result of angiography procedures. The QCA-CMS product is used to select an arterial segment for quantitative analysis, resulting in edge detection and measurements of the selected arterial segment(s). The quantitative information is provided for use by physicians and scientists in both research and clinical settings. Image archiving and administration purposes are supported with the OCA-CMS product as well.

QCA-CMS provides quantitative and reproducible information regarding the calculated dimensions of arterial segments imaged during angiographic x-ray procedures typically performed in cardiac cath labs. This information is suitable for use by physicians and scientists in the following applications:

  1. Scientific and research studies, assessing the angiographic condition of patients and the results of device and drug therapies,
  2. Review and analysis of patient angiographic imaging records, providing additional information to physicians and administrators.

  1. Description of the device:

QCA-CMS performs quantitative analysis of angiograms that are input to the system in formats that include digitized video (from 35 mm cinefilm) and DICOM-file standard formats. The analysis results of the QCA-CMS operation may be printed or archived in files for export to a general-purpose database.

5) Intended use:

OCA-CMS allows the user to work productively in the increasingly digital world of images that are archived in DICOM formats as a result of angiography procedures. The QCA-CMS product is used to select an arterial segment for quantitative analysis, resulting in edge detection and measurements of the selected arterial segment(s). The quantitative information is provided for use by physicians and scientists in both research and clinical settings. Image archiving and administration purposes are supported with the OCA-CMS product as well.

  1. Substantial equivalence information:

The QCA-CMS software, as a software package, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device "Cardiovascular Measurement System - CMS" by utilizing the same technical standards and image analysis algorithms for efficient, accurate and reproducible results. The differences in the devices are noted as:

a. QCA-CMS now runs on Windows NT, as compared with the predicate device operation on MS-DOS. and

b. QCA-CMS is a modular software package, as compared with the fully-integrated predicate device. Image handling (review, playback, selection) may now accomplished with other modular software packages, including the CMS-View from MEDIS.

Conclusion respecting safety and effectiveness:

It is the opinion of MEDIS medical imaging systems that QCA-CMS is safe and potential hazards are controlled by a risk management plan for the software development process, including hazard analysis, verification and validation tests and evaluations by hospitals. In our opinion the level of concern for stand-alone software to analyze images is "minor" and that the use of QCA-CMS software does not change the intended use of the angiographic systems in practice.
