Intended Use
Clarity Viewer is software that retrieves digital images and data from various sources (e-g. CT scanners, MR scanners, ultrasound systems, RIF Units, computed & direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways or other imaging sources). Images (including mammography) and data can be retrieved and displayed within the system and or across computer networks at distributed locations. Clarity's archiving engine utilizes lossless algorithms for compression services (JLSL, J2KR, and JPLL). Lossless compressed mammographic images can be reviewed for primary image interpretation. Lossy compressed mammographic images received from outside sources and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretation. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA cleared monitor that offers at least 5 MP resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.
Device Story
Clarity Viewer is a software-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) designed for clinical environments. It retrieves digital medical images and data from diverse sources, including CT, MR, ultrasound, and radiographic devices. The system enables display and distribution of these images across computer networks. It incorporates lossless compression algorithms (JLSL, J2KR, JPLL) for archiving. Clinicians use the software to view and interpret medical images; for mammography, the system requires an FDA-cleared 5 MP monitor for primary diagnostic interpretation. The device facilitates efficient image management and clinical decision-making by providing centralized access to patient imaging data.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and software verification/validation.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based PACS; utilizes lossless compression algorithms (JLSL, J2KR, JPLL) for image archiving. Supports network-based image distribution. Requires 5 MP resolution monitors for primary mammography interpretation. Operates as a standalone or networked software application.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the retrieval, display, and archiving of digital medical images and data from various imaging sources (CT, MR, ultrasound, radiography, etc.) for clinical review. Mammographic images require an FDA-cleared 5 MP resolution monitor for primary interpretation. Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film-screen images are contraindicated for primary diagnostic interpretation.
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).

Dear Mr. Wachtler:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract tiability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
