The Vue Motion software program is used for patient management by clinicians in order to access and display patient data, medical reports, medical data, and medical images for diagnosis from different modalities including CR, DR, CT, MR, NM, ECG, and US. Vue Motion provides wireless and portable access to medical images for remote reading or referral purposes from web browsers including usage with validated mobile devices. This device is not intended to replace full workstations and should be used only when there is no access to a workstation. For primary interpretation and review of mammography images, only use display hardware that is specifically designed for and cleared by FDA for mammography.
Device Story
Vue Motion is a web-based light viewer providing wireless, portable access to medical images and data (CR, DR, CT, MR, NM, ECG, US) for clinicians. It functions as a remote display tool for reading or referral; it does not store patient data on mobile devices, nor does it communicate directly with acquisition hardware. The device retrieves DICOM-formatted data from a PACS for visualization. Clinicians use the software on web browsers or validated mobile devices to view waveforms, exam details, and measurements. It supports 3D viewing and ECG trace display. The device is not for real-time monitoring and does not perform automated diagnostic analysis or pattern recognition. It serves as a secondary review tool when primary workstations are inaccessible, aiding clinical decision-making by providing timely access to patient records.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Non-clinical testing included software verification and security testing to ensure design requirements were met. Accuracy of ECG capabilities was verified in a simulated user environment by comparing source waveform data, patient information, and measurements against the data displayed and measured by the Vue Motion application.
Technological Characteristics
Web-based software application for DICOM image and ECG waveform display. Operates via web browsers on mobile devices/workstations. Connectivity: Networked (requires Wi-Fi/cellular). Features: ECG waveform visualization, 3D viewing, measurement tools. Does not store data locally. No automated diagnostic pattern recognition. Software-based display.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinicians managing patients requiring access to and display of medical data, reports, and images (CR, DR, CT, MR, NM, ECG, US) for diagnosis. Intended for remote reading or referral via web browsers/mobile devices when full workstations are unavailable. Not for primary mammography interpretation unless using FDA-cleared hardware.

## Device Description:
CARESTREAM Vue Motion with ECG Feature is a Light Viewer designed to provide wireless and portable access to medical images for remote reading or referral purposes from web browsers including enterprise distribution of radiology images and related data.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The modification to the Vue Motion device described in this submission includes the addition of software to facilitate display of ECG data. The modified Vue Motion device with ECG display capability raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
#### Indications for Use / Intended Use:
The Indications for Use for the modified device, as described in its labeling, are: "The Vue Motion software program is used for patient management by clinicians in order to access and display patient data, medical reports, medical data, and medical images for diagnosis from different modalities including CR, DR, CT, MR, NM, ECG, and US.
Vue Motion provides wireless and portable access to medical images for remote reading or referral purposes from web browsers including usage with validated mobile devices. This device is not intended to replace full workstations and should be used only when there is no access to a workstation. For primary interpretation and review of mammography images, only use display hardware that is specifically designed for and cleared by FDA for mammography."
The intended use for the modified device, as determined by descriptions and the proposed labeling contained in this submission, is similar to the Indications for Use statement provided above. The new ECG display is a dedicated application for displaying ECG waveform data and exam details.
The ECG display feature described in this submission results in a minor modification to the Indications For Use to add ECG as an additional modality from which medical data can be displayed.
#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
Based upon information provided within this submission. we believe that the CARESTREAM Vue Motion with ECG display feature is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed CARESTREAM Vue Motion (without ECG feature) and to the McKesson Cardiology"10 ECG Mobile (predicate devices).
The modified Vue Motion (with ECG capability) and the legally marketed Vue Motion cleared under K132824 have the same intended use except that the modified device has been updated to include capability to display ECG data received in DICOM format. This is reflected in the change to the Indications for Use statement to list ECG along with the other display capabilities.
The modified Vue Motion device offers the same functionality as the K132824 Vue Motion device with the addition of the ECG display capability. In addition, the 3D viewing capabilities described in K132824 for the PACS device (K132824) are now also included on Vue Motion. These features do not function any differently on Vue Motion than on the PACS. All other major viewing functions available on Vue Motion remain unchanged.
The modified Vue Motion (with ECG capability) and the legally marketed McKesson Cardiology™ ECG Mobile predicate device have the same intended use, noting that the predicate device contains additional intended use beyond
{5}------------------------------------------------
what Vue Motion provides. Any variation in features or technical specifications have been identified and addressed through testing (described below) to support a substantial equivalence determination. More specifically, both devices:
- . View ECG test results, such as waveforms, synopsis measurements and diagnosis statements from the acquisition device.
- View the ECG lead traces using different display settings.
- Compare the results of current ECG tests with any previous ECG test results . stored on the PACS.
- . Perform ECG-related measurements.
- . Provide secure access to ECG records and related information.
- . Require a Wi-Fi connection when displayed on a tablet device. (McKesson Cardiology™ ECG Mobile can also require a cellular connection.)
- Do not store ECG or patient related information on the mobile device. ●
- Do not communicate directly with cardiographs or other waveform acquisition . devices.
- Do not use any automatic electronic data processing or pattern recognition methods to derive measurement or provide diagnostic statements from the ECG data.
- Do not allow modification of the original ECG traces (waveforms) stored on the PACS.
- Are not intended for real time monitoring.
- Can be used both inside and outside of medical facilities except areas where wireless device use is prohibited. (For McKesson Cardiology ECG Mobile, the same applies to a cellular connection.)
The modifications to the CARESTREAM Vue Motion do not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
## Discussion of Testing:
The performance characteristics and operation / usability of the modified Vue Motion application (with ECG capability) were evaluated in non-clinical (bench) testing. Nonclinical testing performed included software verification, and security testing to ensure that Vue Motion with ECG feature met all product / design requirements. Accuracy of the ECG capabilities was verified in a simulated user test environment by comparing the sample waveform data, patient information, and measurement information obtained from the source data to what was displayed and measured using Vue Motion.
In all instances, the Vue Motion application functioned as intended by the product / design requirements, and the observed results demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
## Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed primary predicate device, CARESTREAM Vue Motion, has been found substantially equivalent by FDA through the 510(k) process (K132824) and is legally marketed. Its Indications for Use are exactly the same as the proposed Indications for Use for the modified Vue Motion device, except for
{6}------------------------------------------------
the addition of ECG (Electrocardiogram) as a modality from which data can be displayed. Its Indications for Use, though not identical to the modified Vue Motion's, convey similar information about the intended use of the device and can therefore be considered for substantial equivalence.
The proposed predicate device, McKesson Cardiology™ ECG Mobile, has been found substantially equivalent by FDA through the 510(k) process (K133534) and is legally marketed. Its Indications for Use, though not identical to the modified Vue Motion's, convey similar information about the intended use of the device and can therefore be considered for substantial equivalence.
The differences between the Vue Motion with ECG Display feature and the predicate devices do not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. Performance test results support a substantial equivalence determination of the Vue Motion with ECG Display feature to the Vue Motion device cleared under K132824 and to the McKesson Cardiology™ ECG Mobile cleared under K133534.
Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
