Intended Use

Edge PACS™ is a software device (server, web viewer, & workstation) used for diagnostic viewing and manipulating medical images. Digital images and data from various sources (including CT, MR, US, RF units, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways, or imaging sources) can be displayed, processed, stored and communicated across computer networks using this software. Edge PACS™ can be integrated with an institution's existing Hospital Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS) providing access to reports for fully-integrated electronic patient records. Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretation. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 Mpixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.

Device Story

Edge PACS is a software-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) comprising a server, web viewer, and workstation. It ingests digital medical images from diverse sources (CT, MR, US, RF, CR/DR, scanners). The system enables diagnostic viewing, image manipulation (cropping, cine loop editing), storage, and network communication. It integrates with HIS/RIS for electronic patient records. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to retrieve, compare images across visits, and generate reports for patient distribution (CD/email). The device facilitates clinical decision-making by providing centralized access to patient imaging history and statistical data. It does not contact patients or control life-sustaining equipment; human intervention is required for all interpretations.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. The submission relies on bench testing and verification of software functionality to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only device; no patient-contacting components. Operates on standard computer hardware (server, workstation, web viewer). Supports DICOM-compatible imaging modalities. Features include image manipulation tools (cropping, cine loop editing), HIS/RIS integration, and secure patient record management. Does not control life-sustaining equipment. No specific algorithm architecture or hardware specifications provided.

Indications for Use

Indicated for diagnostic viewing and manipulation of medical images by clinicians. Supports various imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, RF, CR/DR). Contraindicated for primary interpretation of lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images. Mammography requires FDA-approved 5 Mpixel monitors.

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).

Digital images (including mammography and data from various sources (including CT, MR, US, RF units, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways, or imaging sources) can be displayed, processed, stored and communicated across computer networks using this software. Edge PACS™ can be integrated with an institution's existing Hospital Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS) providing access to reports for fully-integrated electronic patient records. Edge PACS allows medical imaging centers to easily record patient details with study information along with their images and to prepare reports that can be distributed to the patient either in paper printout or through the Internet (email). Moreover, it allows the user to retrieve images easily and to compare the images of the patient between different visits or to distribute the patient records in CD's. It also allows generating statistical data from the available details. Overall features include: - . Prevent unauthorized access of Patient Records - . Easy search of Patient details 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ - Flexibility to design auto patient ID . - Report transmission by mail . - . Cropping of live images - Editing of AVI/cine loops . - . Distribution of Reports and Images in CD - . Comparison of images between different visits of patient - Tagging of significant images/cineloop for future references . - Generation of statistical data from available details . # Indications for Use: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(5) Edge PACS™ is a software device (server, web viewer, & workstation) used for diagnostic viewing and manipulating medical images. Digital images and data from various sources (including CT, MR, US, RF units, computed and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways, or imaging sources) can be displayed, processed, stored and communicated across computer networks using this software.
