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).

#### 7. INDICATION FOR USE
The UltraExtend FX (TUW-U001S) is designed to allow the use to observe images and perform analysis using the examination data acquired with specified diagnostic ultrasound systems Aplio 300, Aplio 400 and Aplio 500.
#### DESIGN CHANGE 8.
The change allows the ability for the UltraExtend FX Workstation to process images from the Aplio Ultrasound System.
### 9. SUMMARY OF DESIGN CONTROL ACTIVITIES
PS Risk List for software is attached. Risk Analysis and Design Reviews were conducted. Verification and validations tests were conducted on the subject device through bench testing to confirm device safety and effectiveness. IEC 62304 processes was implemented in the development of the subject device. A declaration of conformity with design controls is included in this submission.
#### 10. TRUTHFUL AND ACCURACY CERTIFICATION
A certification of the truthfulness and accuracy of the UltraExtend FX Workstation described in this submission is provided in this submission.
#### 11. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
UltraExtend (Predicate) is a software that can be installed in a general-purpose personal computer (PC) to enable data acquired using diagnostic ultrasound systems (Aplio Artida SSH-880CV, Aplio XG SSA-790A, or Xario XG SSA-680A) to be loaded onto the PC for various application software programs. This software (UltraExtend) implements functions and operability of the basic measurement, cardiac application measurements using 2D, M and spectral Doppler, and report generation.
UltraExtend FX (Subiect) is designed to allow the user to observe images and perform analysis using the examination data acquired from an Aplio diagnostic ultrasound system (Aplio 300, Aplio 400 and Aplio 500), It has the application of basic measurement, cardiac measurement, vasicular measurement, stress echo, 4D review, Elastography, Auto-IMT and 2D wall motion tracking.
UltraExtend (Model USWS-900A) and UltraExtend FX (Model TUW-U001S) Ultrasound Workstation Package are capable of acquiring images from a specific ultrasound diagnostic systems and perform analysis. Their applications are not the same but the intended use of the software is the same. The UltraExtend FX has been found substantially equivalent to the previously cleared UltraExtend Workstation (Model USWS-900A) and Aplio 500/400/300 Diagnostic Ultrasound System (K110870) referenced in this submission.
