The summary describes image enhancement software and hardware but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts. The description of the technology focuses on traditional image processing.
No.
The device is intended for image processing and enhancement of MRI images for viewing by a technologist, not for directly treating a medical condition or ailment.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an image enhancement system for MRI images, intended for viewing and storage, not for making a diagnosis. Its function is to enhance images, which aids in review but does not independently diagnose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the product is a "kit containing software and hardware (PCI graphics processor board)".
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "transfer, storage, enhancement, and viewing of MRI images." This describes image processing and management, not the analysis of biological samples or specimens to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
- Device Description: The device is a software and hardware kit installed on a personal computer to process and store MRI images. This aligns with medical imaging systems, not IVD devices which typically involve reagents, instruments, and software for analyzing biological samples.
- Input: The input is MRI images, which are generated from a medical imaging modality, not biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of such samples.
Therefore, the SharpView Image Enhancement System falls under the category of medical imaging software and hardware, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The product is a kit containing software and hardware (PCI graphics processor board) which is intended to be installed on a personal computer. Typically the personal computer receives MRI images in DICOM 3 format over a network connection. The received image is stored locally, then accessed, then enhanced by the software/hardware combination, then stored in the enhanced format. The original file can still be accessed and is not modified.

§ 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 Ms. Bundy:
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 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. Please note: this response to your 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 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
