#### 7. Device Description

iTR2000™ is a stand-alone software product which may be marketed as a software-only product, as well as for use in conjunction with standard PC hardware, off-the-shelf software or third-party teleradiology/PACS software.

iTR2000™ provides short-term remote access to medical images by radiologists, referring physicians and other licensed professionals, utilizing a personal computer or workstation with internet access. Images are securely stored on a internet website for on-demand remote retrieval via the iTR2000™ software, or via a standard web browser without the use of propriety software. The iTR2000™ system employs the latest internet security techniques and meets all current federal medical communications standards including recent proposals from HCFA and HHS.

iTR2000™ is primarily intended to allow the transmission, retrieval and review of images produced by imaging equipment otherwise not part of a digital Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) network or legacy equipment not compatible with ACR/NEMA DICOM 3.0. Conventional film-based images can be optically digitized and stored in a standard image format, such as JPEG. iTR2000™ can also be configured to web-enable third-party DICOM-capable teleradiology/PACS systems in low-volume environments for remote or on-call activities.

iTR2000™ is designed for use primarily with small-matrix imaging modalities, such as images produced by Computed Tomography (CT), Ultrasound (US), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Medicine (NM), digital flourography and digital angiography. The use of images produced by large-matrix imaging systems, such as digitized radiographic films and computed radiography or mammography. requires the use of digitization and viewing equipment which exceed the stated minimum requirements for the standard iTR2000™ system. iTR2000™ does not control the actual image-taking system (i.e. x-ray, MRI, ultrasound or scintography machines).

N C

iTR2000™ is a software communications tool intended to be used in the transportation, storage and retrieval of digital medical images for the purpose of off-site review.

#### 9. Safety and Effectiveness

The iTR2000™ software is primarily an image communications software program used to transfer digital image files between personal computers and is utilized only by competent medical professionals. The system has no patient contacting components. The device does not impact the quality of the original acquired image data. It does not require specialized or nonstandard devices of any type. Competent health professionals would reasonably be expected to exercise judgment and professional expertise in the use and interpretation of the transferred image files.

Similar to the predicate devices. iTR2000™ can be used with image compression to remove redundant or unimportant information in the original image data. The recommended JPEG image compression libraries and default compression settings are believed to be substantially equivalent to the libraries used in the previously cleared products.

#### 9. Testing

The safety of this program has been determined through the various stages of software development which included the development of product specifications, coding, testing, debugging, in-house validation and field maintenance. Functional testing including the transfer of diagnostic imaging studies for over 1200 complete studies. Standard data communications controls for error detection and correction are utilized.

#### 10. Conclusions

iTR2000™ software is a medical device, and it has the same indications for use, the same technological characteristics and the same target population as the legally marketed predicate devices.

Any differences between the iTR2000™ software and the predicate devices have no significant influence on safety or efficacy. The iTR2000™ system employs the latest internet security techniques and meets all current federal medical communications standards including recent proposals from HCFA and HHS. No new issues of safety and effectiveness are raised.

InTeleRadiology, Inc., believes sufficient information is included to reach a determination of substantial equivalence. We conclude that the iTR2000™ software is as safe and effective as the legally marketed devices and is substantially equivalent to the previously marketed devices (as listed above in Part 6),

Michael Vincent Klein.
