#### 4. Device Description :
The 3Dnet Suite is a software device for evaluating scanned images of selected human organ. The basic visualization module of 3Dnet Suite is Examiner.
The Examiner allows the processing, review, analysis, communication and media interchange of multi dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices.
It provides multi-dimensional visualization of digital images to aid clinicians in their analysis of anatomy and pathology. The 3Dnet user interface follows typical clinical workflow patterns to process, review and analyze digital images including:
- Retrieve image data over the network via DICOM ﮯ
- Select images for closer examination from a gallery of 2D and 3D views -
- -Interactively manipulate an image in real time to visualize anatomy and pathology
- Annotate, tag, measure and record selected views -
{1}------------------------------------------------
- Output selected views to DICOM and JPEG files or expert views to another DICOM device.
# 5. Indications for use:

The 3Dnet Suite provides several levels of functionality to the user:
- basic analysis tools they use on a daily basis such as 2D review, orthogonal multiplanar reconstructions (MPR), oblique MPR, curved MPR, Slab MPR AvgIP, MIP. MinIP, measurements, annotations, reporting, distribution etc.
- tools for in-depth analysis, such as segmentation, endoscopic review, color VR slab, = grayscale VR slab. 3D volume review, path definition and boundary detection etc.
- Specialist tools and workflow enhancements for specific clinical applications which provide target workflows, custom UI, targeted measurement and visualization, including colon screening which is indented for the screening of patients for colonic polyps, tumors and other lesions using tomographic colonography.
# 6. Comparison to predicate devices:
The 3Dnet Suite utilizes the same technological characteristics as the two predicate devices. All provide multi-view user interfaces with combinations of 2D and 3D views correlated together for enhanced visualization. All provide window/level adjustment of the 2D and 3D views to enhance features, provide measurement tools for analysis of the observed structures, provide region of interest tools to isolate specific features and provide annotation tools to help indicate and describe findings.
All devices support the DICOM protocol for the communication of images with other medical devices.

We conclude that the subject device, the 3Dnet Suite, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices and poses no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
# 7. Discussion of non-clinical tests performed for the determination of substantial equivalence are as follows:
Scanned image datasets of various patient organs with known abnormalities or status used as input for testing of software functionalities in accordance with a test protocol. The application provided interactive orthogonal and multiplanar reformatted 2D and 3D image from datasets to detect and evaluate the known abnormalities or status of organs. The volume, linear and angular measurements features, provided in the software, were used to evaluate and quantify any abnormality of organs or status of any internal organ structures. The 3Dnet Suite has been developed in a manner consistent with accepted standards for software development, including both unit and system integration testing protocols. Testing of phantom datasets has determined its level of accuracy, which correlates perfectly with pre-calculated values. The product has shown itself to be reliable, easy to use and capable of evaluating DICOM compliant scanned images of any human organs. We conclude from these tests that 3Dnet Suite is substantially equivalent to the predicated devices in its ability to evaluate any human organs.

# Biotronics 3D
The 3Dnet Suite has the same indented use and similar technological characteristics as the Bio-Vascular, Inc., Advanced Diagnostic Viewer (ADV), (#K963697) and Voxar Limited, Plug n View 3D, version 1.0 (#K992654). Moreover, test and validations using Patients Image Data in our installations in Europe and non-clinical tests performed in-house demonstrated that the 3Dnet Suite is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in its ability to review, and evaluate DICOM scan images of various organs to facilitate analysis and evaluation of abnormality or malformation in organs by a trained user. The DICOM functionality with regards to DICOM SOP classes as stated in the DICOM conformance statement was validated with a number of other DICOM compliant applications and DICOM validation tools as part of the development and testing process. 3Dnet Suite does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
