## Indications for Use

ID.Store is a software device intended to direct the lossless archival storage and retrieval, including the use of pre-fetching and auto-routing capabilities, of digital medical images within a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS).

## Device Story

ID.Store is a PACS software component for archival storage and retrieval of digitized medical images. It utilizes a distributed storage architecture comprising three modules: ID.gate (gateway), ID.store (archiving), and ID.dbs (database manager). These modules communicate via the proprietary 'ImageTalk' protocol. The system supports various archival media including CD-R, WORM, MOD/WORM, and DVD, and operates on standard hardware such as Sun Sparc or UltraSparc CPUs with RAID for temporary storage. The software manages data flow through pre-fetching and auto-routing capabilities. It is intended for use in clinical environments where medical imaging data is processed and stored. By automating the archival and retrieval process, the device assists healthcare providers in managing large volumes of digital imaging data, ensuring lossless storage and efficient access to patient records for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based PACS component. Distributed architecture using ID.gate, ID.store, and ID.dbs modules. Communication via ImageTalk protocol. Supports archival media: CD-R, WORM, MOD/WORM, DVD. Hardware requirements: Sun Sparc/UltraSparc CPUs, RAID storage. Supports DICOM and other medical imaging formats.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical image storage device is a hardware device that provides electronic storage and retrieval functions for medical images. Examples include electronic hardware devices employing magnetic and optical discs, magnetic tapes, and digital memory.

## Predicate Devices

- Kodak Medical Image and Information Library (MIIL)

| Device Description:         | The ID.Store device is a software package composed of several<br>application modules which work in tandem using a distributed<br>storage architecture to control the archival storage and retrieval of<br>digitized medical images. The ID.gate (gateway), ID.store<br>(archiving), and ID.dbs (image database manager) modules<br>communicate with each other using the dedicated administrative<br>communication protocol ImageTalk. Permanent archival storage<br>media supported include CD-R, WORM, MOD/WORM, DVD,<br>etc. Recommended hardware are standard general purpose<br>equipment, e.g. Sun Sparc or UltraSparc CPU's, and RAID devices<br>for temporary data storage. |             |
| Intended Use:               | ID.Store is a software device intended to direct the lossless<br>archival storage and retrieval, including the use of pre-fetching and<br>auto-routing capabilities, of digital medical images within a Picture<br>Archiving and Communications System (PACS).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |             |
| Comparison to<br>Predicate: | The intended use and technological characteristics of the ID.Store<br>device are substantially equivalent, in the opinion of ISG<br>Technologies, to those of the predicate device and do not pose any<br>additional issues of safety and effectiveness                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |             |

Dear Ms. Nakagawa:

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 devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical 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 requirement, 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 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 market 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 question 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/dsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours,

W.Liau Yu
