System operates on general-purpose computing hardware; stores/distributes images via DICOM protocol. PowerServer handles storage/archiving; PowerCache acts as a caching server to optimize network traffic; PowerReader and Gateway serve as workstations for viewing, editing, annotating, and analyzing images. Healthcare professionals use the system to process and review medical images for clinical decision-making. Preserves original image data; saves display changes as presentation states. Enables efficient clinical workflow by providing centralized access to diagnostic data. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Validation included hazard analysis, requirements reviews, design reviews, code reviews, unit testing, system testing, and performance testing. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based PACS running on general-purpose computing hardware. DICOM compliant for image storage, retrieval, and transmission. Supports lossless and lossy image compression. Connectivity via standard network protocols. No specific hardware requirements beyond minimum OS/processing specs. Sterilization not applicable (software). ## Regulatory 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. ## Special Controls *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). ## Predicate Devices - RamSoft PACS ([K031562](/device/K031562.md)) - Centricity PACS System (GE Medical Systems Information Technologies) ([K043415](/device/K043415.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

As long as minimum hardware and operating system requirements are met, the user or system integrator is free to choose his/her own hardware platform. PowerServer is a scalable storage and distribution system for clinical images and data. Images can be stored in lossless or lossy formats. The system is DICOM compliant for image storage, archiving, retrieval, and transmission, and communicates with other DICOM devices. The system also communicates with PowerReader workstations and PowerCache servers. Acquired image data is preserved as captured and changes to display definitions are saved as presentation states so that images may always be reverted back to their initial state. PowerCache is a caching server that communicates with PowerServer and serves PowerReader workstations. A single PowerCache can serve multiple PowerReader workstations, reducing network traffic between PowerReader workstations and PowerServer. PowerReader is a workstation that views, edits, manipulates, annotates, analyzes, stores, and distributes images and data stored on PowerServer and PowerCache. PowerReader can connect directly to PowerServer and can also connect via PowerCache. PowerReader provides the user with the ability to import, transmit, print, display, store, edit, and process medical images and data. {1}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Gateway is a stand-alone DICOM compliant workstation that views, edits, manipulates, annotates, analyzes, stores, and distributes images and data.
