Technologies, Inc. - **Product Code:** [LMD](/submissions/RA/subpart-b%E2%80%94diagnostic-devices/LMD.md) - **Decision Date:** May 6, 1998 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 892.2020 - **Device Class:** Class 1 - **Review Panel:** Radiology - **Attributes:** Software as a Medical Device ## Indications for Use VR SOFTSTORE 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 VR NetServe is a software module added to the VR SOFTSTORE PACS. It enables web-based access to patient images; allows users to query the image database and display retrieved images via web server technology. Operates within a PACS environment; used by healthcare professionals to access archived digital medical images. Facilitates clinical workflow by providing remote or networked access to stored imaging data, supporting efficient retrieval and review of patient records. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based PACS component. Utilizes web server technology for database querying and image retrieval. Supports DICOM and other medical imaging formats. Functions as an add-on module to the VR SOFTSTORE system. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - VR SOFTSTORE (ID.Store) image archive software device ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Technologies, Inc. 6509 Airport Road Mississauga, Ontario Canada L4V 1S7 Dear Ms. Nakagawa: Re: K980684 VR NetServe, PACS Web Access Software Module Dated: February 20, 1998 Received: February 23, 1998 Regulatory class: Unclassified Procode: 90 LMD 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 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 (OS) 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.
