Intended Use

CMRtools™ and plug-ins VentricularTools™ & ThalassaemiaTools™ is a software device used for viewing and analyzing cardiovascular magnetic resonance images. It allows high performance image manipulation, 3D visualization, and advanced image processing on a standard PC without dedicated hardware. All software plugins have comprehensive quantification facilities with full analysis session recording for providing comprehensive audit trails. It contains an image viewer for importing DICOM images, browsing through patient datasets, viewing cine images and performing region-of-interest analysis. Plug-ins are used for specialist cardiac assessment including VentricularTools for left ventricular assessment and ThalassaemiaTools for T2* image quantification. It is important that CMRtools is only used to view and analyze human cardiac and or liver images acquired with a cardiovascular magnetic resonance scanner. CMRtools must not be used to view or analyze images acquired with any other type of imaging device. The software must not be used to view or analyze images of any part of the body except the heart and or liver or the vascular system. Furthermore, the software must not be used to view or analyze images acquired from animals. Only DICOM images will be used for presentation, display and diagnosis.

Device Story

CMRtools is a standalone software package for visualization and analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images. Input: DICOM images from CMR scanners. Operation: Software provides image loading, viewing, 3D visualization, and quantification via plug-ins. VentricularTools calculates ventricular volume/mass indices; ThalassaemiaTools calculates T2* values for iron loading. Context: Used in clinical settings on standard PCs; post-scan analysis. Output: Quantitative metrics and visual analysis. Clinicians use output to assist in cardiac and liver assessment. Benefits: Enables advanced image processing and quantification without dedicated hardware; provides audit trails for analysis sessions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only, conducted according to a documented Software Test Plan as part of the company's Product Development Process.

Technological Characteristics

Standalone software for Windows XP/Vista. Requirements: 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 128MB graphics card, 2GB disk space. Workflow-oriented GUI. DICOM-compliant. No patient contact. Non-networked/standalone deployment.

Indications for Use

Indicated for viewing and analyzing human cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images of the heart, liver, and vascular system. Used for left ventricular assessment and T2* iron loading quantification in humans. Contraindicated for non-human (animal) images and non-CMR imaging modalities.

Regulatory Classification

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).

Furthermore, the software must not be used to view or analyze images acquired from animals. Only DICOM images will be used for presentation, display and diagnosis. ## Technological Characteristics CMRtools and plug-ins is a stand-alone software package which can be used on more than one hardware platform, as long as minimum hardware requirements are met. The device does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life-sustaining devices. A physician providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed and/or printed. CMRtools and its plug-ins require a PC or a laptop with a mouse, keyboard and display running Microsoft Windows XP/Vista with a 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 128MB graphics card and 2GB of free hard disk space. The user interacts with CMRtools and its plug-ins using a desktop or laptop computer with a keyboard, mouse and display. The Software utilizes the standard point-and-click approach to user interface design that is ubiquitous on modern windowing operating systems. CMRtools provides a user interface with individual items for selecting images, changing the brightness/contrast and accessing the different aspects of functionality. The plug-ins for CMRtools make use of a workflow orientated graphical user interface that guides the User through the analysis process by presenting a set of simple tasks. Each aspect of the software is clearly documented with context-sensitive Interactive Help. CMRtools and its plug-ins are designed to be used after the scanning of the patient is complete. The images will typically be transferred via a CD, network drive or though a PACS transfer from the scanner onto the clinician's local machine. Image viewing and analysis can then be performed without connection to the internet or a network. #### Testing CMRtools and plug-ins have been tested according to the specifications that are documented in a Software Test Plan. Testing is an integral part Cardiovascular Imaging Solutions Ltd. software development process as described in the company's Product Development Process. ### Conclusion The 510(k) pre-market notification for the CMRtools and plug-ins VentricularTools & ThalassaemiaTools contains adequate information and data to enable FDA-CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device. - The device has been and will continue to be manufactured according to the voluntary standards 1. list in the Voluntary Standards section of the submission. - The submission contains the results of a hazard analysis and the "Level of Concern for potential 2. hazards has been classified as "Minor". {2}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
