Intended Use

LifeSys™ PACS is a Picture Archive and Communications software product used to receive pertinent radiology patient information and DICOM images and allow easy generation of a Radiology Report for distribution over a network. LifeSys™ PACS software is intended for use as a primary diagnostic and analysis tool for diagnostic images. LifeSys™ PACS is for hospitals, imaging centers, radiology professional services providers and any user who requires and is granted access to patient image, demographic and report information. The LifeSys™ PACS viewer displays images from CT, computed radiography, MRI, nuclear medicine, PET, ultrasound, x-ray angiography, and x-ray fluoroscopy.

Device Story

LifeSys™ PACS is a software-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for medical imaging departments. It receives patient information and DICOM images from various modalities (CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound, etc.); archives these studies; and provides a viewer (LifeView™) and report editor (LifePACS™) for diagnostic interpretation. Used in hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers by radiologists and authorized healthcare providers. The system facilitates image display, rapid loading, and report generation over a network. It acts as a primary diagnostic tool; clinicians interpret displayed images to inform clinical decision-making. The device does not contact the patient or control life-sustaining equipment; it relies on human intervention for final diagnosis.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. System verification and validation testing was conducted to evaluate all input/output functions and operational modes against user needs and design requirements. The software passed all in-house testing criteria.

Technological Characteristics

PACS software; utilizes off-the-shelf computer hardware. Functions include image acquisition, receipt, archive, viewing, and report editing. Supports DICOM standard. No patient contact. Moderate level of concern. Operates as a standalone or networked software application.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in hospitals, imaging centers, and radiology professional services as a primary diagnostic and analysis tool for viewing and reporting on DICOM images from CT, CR, MRI, nuclear medicine, PET, ultrasound, x-ray angiography, and fluoroscopy.

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 LifeSys™ PACS viewer displays images from CT, computed radiography, MRI, nuclear medicine. PET. ultrasound. x-rav angiography. and x-ray fluoroscopy. # Technological Characteristics: LifeSys™ PACS is a device that does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed. The LifeSys™ PACS device labeling contains instructions for use and any warnings or cautions to provide for the safe and effective use of the device. Users of the device are responsible to imonsure that display quality, environmental lighting and other possible distractions are consistent with a clinical environment. The hardware components specified are all "off the shelf" computer components. It is our conclusion that there is no software or hardware component in the LifeSys™ PACS device whose failure or latent design flaw would be expected to result in death or injury to a patient. The "level of concern" on the LifeSys™ PACS device is "moderate". # Substantial Equivalence: The new device (LifeSys™ PACS) and predicate device (eRAD PACS and eRAD RIS/PACS) are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, application, and intended use. The new device does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to the predicate device. The two devices are substantially equivalent in the areas of design, architecture, general function, application, and intended use. # Non-Clinical Testing: Thorough non-clinical system verification and validation testing was conducted in accordance with applicable international standards and internal design requirement to verify that LifeSys™ PACS software product meets user needs and indications for use. The Verification & Validation Test Plan was designed to evaluate all input functions, output functions, and actions performed in each operational mode. LifeSys™ PACS software passed all in-house testing criteria. {5}------------------------------------------------ # Conclusion The 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for LifeSys™ PACS contains adequate information and data to enable FDA - CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The subject device and predicate device are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, application, intended use, and does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to existing legally marketed devices. LifeSys™ PACS is substantially equivalent with respect to safety and effectiveness to the predicate device.
