Languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese. Software Level of Concern: Moderate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for archiving and viewing medical images (CT, MR, CR, US, XC, OT) by trained healthcare professionals. Not for mammography or diagnostic use on mobile devices.

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).

The CONi software system is comprised of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (CONiPACS) and an image viewer (CONiView). CONi supports imaging studies from the following DICOM modalities: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), X-ray (CR), Ultrasound (US), and Visible Light (External Camera (XC) and Other (OT)). Images and information can be viewed and stored via a secure Internet connection. Studies can be shared with a specialist at another facility quickly with a study-specific passcode. This facilitates remote consultation and expedites the study transfer process in emergency situations when a patient is being transported. No physical media such as CDs are needed because collaboration occurs entirely over an internet connection. Secondary over-triage can even be avoided. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Intended Use: CONi provides for the archiving and viewing of medical images from the following DICOM modalities: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), X-ray (CR), Ultrasound (US), and Visible Light (External Camera (XC) and Other (OT)). Images and information can be viewed and stored via a secure Internet connection. CONi is not intended for use in mammography. #### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence The proposed and predicate devices provide a web-based system for the archiving and viewing of medical images. The proposed and predicate devices are to be used with general purpose computing hardware to acquire, transmit, or view the stored medical images. Equivalent with the predicate device, CONi consists of a software application that is installed in a hosted server environment that will communicate with the client's PCs via an internet connection. Communication between the CONi application and client's PCs utilizes DICOM protocols and encrypted browser communications. Both the proposed and predicate devices are hosted by HIPAA compliant facilities. File acquisition, sending functions, and image view and manipulation are included in the proposed and predicate devices. | | GlobalMedia Group | ALZ | |-----------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | CONI | Web PACS (Version 1) | | Device<br>Description | CONI (Capture Over Network Interface) is<br>a secure cloud-based application for<br>viewing and archiving medical images.

Establishment of Requirements - Risk Analysis (software and system) . - . DICOM Standard Conformance Statement - . HIPAA Compliance Statement - . Software Unit Testing - . Software Integration Testing - . Software System Testing - Software Hazard Testing . #### Safety and Effectiveness Summary The CONi software application provides a safe and secure location for the archiving and {4}------------------------------------------------ viewing of medical images. CONi does not diagnosis any medical condition and is intended to be used by trained individuals. The software utilizes DICOM communication protocols and has been designed and tested to meet HIPAA requirements. CONi does not control the function of any other medical device. GlobalMedia Group considers the CONi software application to be as safe and effective for use as the previous cleared predicate device. #### Conclusion The GlobalMedia Group CONi software application has similar functionality, intended use, technological characteristics, and typical users as the predicate device. As a result, the CapSure software application will fall under the same FDA classification number and product code as the predicate device. The GlobalMedia Group CONi software introduces no new issues or concerns of safety and effectiveness, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
