Intended Use

The purpose of Visaris Avanse® is to acquire, store, communicate, display and process medical X-ray images. It offers features (e.g. window leveling, zoom, measurements, annotations etc.) routinely used by medical professionals, such as radiologists and radiographers. Visaris Avanse supports printing to DICOM compatible printers. Within a network environment Visaris Avanse may provide other modalities with a DICOM worklist and a DICOM worklist service. Images and worklists can be sent and received using the DICOM protocol. Visaris Avanse has a modular system architecture. It consists of the basic application, processing and viewing as well as a number of other modules for image and worklist management, archiving, search and display. Beside the basic functionality Visaris Avanse also provides a user interface for generator control and image acquisition of medical images DR detectors.

Device Story

Visaris Avanse is autonomous digital radiography imaging, control, and management software for PCs. It interfaces with DR flat panel detectors and X-ray generators to acquire, process, and store medical images. Features include patient entry, generator control, image acquisition, window leveling, zoom, measurements, annotations, and DICOM archiving/export. Used in clinical environments by radiologists and radiographers to manage radiology workflows. The software operates on Windows PCs; supports network integration via DICOM protocols for worklists and image communication. It aids clinical decision-making by providing diagnostic-quality images for review. Benefits include streamlined digital radiology department management and efficient image handling.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical images obtained using compatible digital panels were evaluated by a board-certified radiologist. Images were determined to be of excellent diagnostic quality. No formal clinical trial data provided; evidence based on bench testing and expert review of clinical images.

Technological Characteristics

Modular software architecture; runs on Windows XP/7/8 PCs. Interfaces: DR flat panel, X-ray generator, HTTP, DICOM (Store, Send, Print, Worklist). Supports DICOM image formats (TIFF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, RAW) and various JPEG compression methods (Lossy, Lossless, JPEG-LS, JPEG 2000). Validated for compatibility with specific X-ray generators (Sedecal, Claymount, Spellman, EMD, CPI).

Indications for Use

Indicated for medical professionals, including radiologists and radiographers, to acquire, store, communicate, display, and process medical X-ray images. Not intended for mammography.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Non clinical testing The complete Visaris Avanse® PACS system configuration has been assessed and tested at the factory and has passed all in-house criteria. The Verification and Validation plan was design to evaluate all input and output functions, and actions performed by Visaris Avanse® PACS software in each operation mode and followed the process documented in the Validation Test Plan. Validation testing indicate that as required by risk analysis, designated individuals performed all verification and validation activities and that the result demonstrated that the predetermine acceptance criteria were met. If the device is installed by Visaris, installation and integration verification tests are conduct against acceptance criteria prior to release to client. #### 6. Clinical testing Clinical images were obtained using each of the declared compatible digital panels. The images were evaluated by a board certified radiologist and were found to be of excellent diagnostic quality. ## 7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion The Visaris Avanse® has the same essential indications for use as the predicate and uses the same kind of platform (Windows PC) to perform its functions. The same kind of software validation and panel testing has been performed. It is DICOM compatible like the predicate and handles jpeq images like the predicate. | dicomPACS®5.2 and dicomPACS DX-R K091364, Oehm und Rehbein GmbH (Predicate Device) | VISARIS AVANSE® (New Device) [Equivalence Level] | Equivalence Justification | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Design | | | | Overall software architecture: A front-end + back-end architecture.
