Intended Use

ProSolv® CardioVascular is intended for use by doctors and non-physicians (e.g., sonographers, technicians, nurses) who are affiliated with medical labs that use images obtained from digital-imaging DICOM instruments (echo, vascular, nuclear cardiology, cardiac catheterization, MRI, etc.) The ProSolv® CardioVascular image management and reporting system is software that operates on standard PC equipment using Windows 95 or later operating system. ProSolv® CardioVascular provides the functionality for archiving, viewing, measuring, analyzing, and reporting digital studies generated by digital-imaging instruments from a multitude of manufacturers. The software is available in several configurations: Administrator (report viewing, edit patient demographic information), Viewer (image and report viewing, basic measurements), and Analyzer (Viewer features plus measurements, qualitative assessment, and report creation and design). The software can be used in a variety of network configurations ranging from a stand-alone workstation to a network of workstations connected through TCP/IP networking to a ProSolv® DICOM Server. The DICOM Server permits studies to be transferred from DICOM compatible imaging instruments directly to a ProSolv® database using TCP/IP.

Device Story

ProSolv CardioVascular is a software-based PACS component operating on standard PCs (Windows 95+). It ingests digital images from DICOM-compliant imaging instruments (echo, vascular, nuclear, cath, MRI). The system functions as a viewer, analyzer, and database manager. Users (physicians, sonographers, technicians) perform image viewing, qualitative/quantitative evaluation, regional wall motion analysis, and report generation. The system supports stand-alone or networked configurations via TCP/IP, including a server for remote database access. Output consists of processed images, measurements, and clinical reports, assisting healthcare providers in diagnostic decision-making and patient data management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based PACS component; operates on standard PC hardware (Windows 95 or later). Connectivity via TCP/IP networking for DICOM image transfer and remote database access. Supports DICOM and non-DICOM image formats. Features include image archiving, viewing, measurement, and reporting tools.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by clinicians and medical staff in labs utilizing digital DICOM imaging (echo, vascular, nuclear cardiology, cardiac catheterization, MRI) for image management, measurement, analysis, and reporting.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A programmable diagnostic computer is a device that can be programmed to compute various physiologic or blood flow parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices; this device includes any associated commercially supplied programs.

#### Device Name

Trade Names: ProSolv® CardioVascular, ProSolv® CardioVascular Viewer, ProSolv® CardioVascular Analyzer, and ProSolv® CardioVascular Server Common Name: Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) Components

Class: No formal classifications have been issued for PACS components. Performance Standards: No performance standards have been issued for PACS components under the authority of section 514.

## Device Description

The ProSolv® CardioVascular software operates on a PC computer using the Windows 95 or later operating system. ProSolv® CardioVascular Viewer allows the user to view medical images acquired from digital-imaging instruments, track examinations and patient data with a database, and view reports. The software can display DICOM images and most non-DICOM images. ProSolv® CardioVascular Analyzer includes all the functionality of the Viewer plus routine and stress echo regional wall motion analysis, qualitative and quantitative image evaluation, report generation, and customizable reports, measurements, and comment lists. Each of the products can be packaged with the optional ProSolv® CardioVascular Server capability to allow remote database access over a network.

#### Indications For Use

ProSolv® CardioVascular is intended for use by doctors and non-physicians (e.g., sonographers, technicians, nurses) who are affiliated with medical labs that use images obtained from digital-imaging DICOM instruments (echo, vascular, nuclear cardiology, cardiac catheterization, MRI, etc.) The ProSolv® CardioVascular image management and reporting system is software that operates on standard PC equipment using Windows 95 or later operating system. ProSolv® CardioVascular provides the functionality for archiving, viewing, measuring, analyzing, and reporting digital studies generated by digital-imaging instruments from a multitude of manufacturers. The software is available in several configurations: Administrator

(report viewing, edit patient demographic information), Viewer (image and report viewing, basic measurements), and Analyzer (Viewer features plus measurements, qualitative assessment, and report creation and design). The software can be used in a variety of network configurations ranging from a stand-alone workstation to a network of workstations connected through TCP/IP networking to a ProSolv® DICOM Server. The DICOM Server permits studies to be transferred from DICOM compatible imaging instruments directly to a ProSolv® database using TCP/IP.

# General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The device labeling and manual provide operating instructions for the safe and effective use of ProSolv® CardioVascular software. The display, storage, retrieval, and analysis of information provide a minor level of hazard concern.

#### Substantial Equivalence

ProSolv® CardioVascular is substantially equivalent to the ProSolv® Echo products that are currently on the market. While there are some feature differences between the ProSolv device and the equivalent device, these differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the new device.

The ProSolv CardioVascular products have expanded on the ProSolv Echo products to include additional medical disciplines. As the image viewer was already a generic DICOM viewer, few changes were made in this area other than additional viewer features. The primary area of changes necessary to incorporate other medical fields was the addition of new measurements and reports. The customizing features of the software were already present in ProSolv Echo, so vascular measurements had to be added and vascular reports had to be developed with the aid of a beta site. With ProSolv CardioVascular being a general image viewer and reporting system, and with its advanced customizing features, the product can be expanded into other areas as well. This requires creating a list of measurements if needed, the necessary reports and appropriate comment files. This flexibility contributes to the effectiveness of the device, without compromising the safety.

### Conclusions

With ProSolv® CardioVascular digital medical images, from virtually any digitalimaging instrument available today, can be reviewed, analyzed, reported, databased, and archived. The software can read DICOM images and most non-DICOM images. ProSolv® CardioVascular Server allows for remote access to a database located on a server.

The ProSolv® CardioVascular device meets applicable standards and several voluntary standards. The primary difference between the current ProSolv device and the equivalent device is in the expanded indications for use. The core program is basically the same, with some added features for the viewer, analyzer and reporting functions. These differences do not adversely affect the safety or effectiveness of the new device. Based on the comparison between the ProSolv® CardioVascular device and the legally marketed device, all indications are that the ProSolv® CardioVascular device is substantially equivalent to ProSolv® Echo.
