Intended Use
QLAB Advanced Quantification Software is a software application package. It is designed to view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems.
Device Story
QLAB Advanced Quantification Software is a modular software application for viewing and quantifying ultrasound image data. It operates on standard PCs, dedicated workstations, or integrated into Philips ultrasound systems. The software utilizes specific Q-App modules (a2DQ, aCMQ, CMQ Stress) to perform image analysis, including speckle tracking, contouring, and strain measurements (GLS, Regional Strain). It also provides LA volume calculations. Clinicians use the software for off-line review or real-time quantification to assist in diagnostic decision-making. The device benefits patients by providing standardized, quantitative cardiac measurements, such as strain and volume, to assess cardiac function.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Software verification and validation were performed to confirm performance, functionality, and reliability against defined requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only application; modular architecture (Q-Apps). Functions on standard PCs, workstations, or embedded in ultrasound systems. Utilizes speckle tracking and contouring algorithms for image quantification. No hardware components; no sterilization required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinicians requiring viewing and quantification of ultrasound image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Philips Ultrasound believes that the QLAB Q-App modifications which are the subject of this 510(k) are substantially equivalent to other OLAB applications.
#### 4) Device Description
Philips QLAB Advanced Quantification software (OLAB) is designed to view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound products. QLAB is available either as a stand-alone product that can function on a standard PC, a dedicated workstation, and on-board Philips' ultrasound systems. It can be used for the off-line review and quantification of ultrasound studies.
QLAB software provides basic and advanced quantification capabilities across a family of PC and cart based platforms. QLAB software functions through Q-App modules, each of which provides specific capabilities.

QLAB builds upon a simple and thoroughly modular design to provide smaller, lower cost, and more easily leveraged products.
Philips Ultrasound is submitting this 510(k) to address modifications to the a2DQ and aCMO which include:
- . a2DQ and aCMQ (including CMQ Stress) enhancements
- o Flexible screen layout options within a2DO and aCMO
- O The addition of LA volume calculation to a2DQ as a licensed option
## 5) Intended Use
QLAB Advanced Quantification Software is a software application package. It is designed to view and quantify image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems.
### 6) Technological comparison to predicate devices
The QLAB Advanced Quantification software with the modified Q-Apps has the same technological characteristics as the legally marketed device.

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The proposed a2DQ/aCMQ/CMQ<br>Stress includes:<br>• 6-segment ROI<br>• Enhanced contour and<br>speckle tracking<br>• New selections GLS and<br>Reginal Strain<br>measurement | Current a2DQ/aCMQ/CMQ Stress<br>include:<br>• 7-segment ROI<br>• Contour and speckle<br>tracking<br>• Gives users peak strain or<br>peak systolic strain without<br>measurement label<br>differentiation. | Reason for modified QLAB<br>a2DQ/aCMQ/CMQ Stress<br>applications is to better comply with<br>the recommendations of<br>ASE/EACVI. |
| The proposed a2DQ Q-App<br>includes the licensed LA option for<br>LA volume measurements. | The current a2DQ Q-App does not<br>have the LA option | Reason for modified QLAB a2DQ<br>Application: Measurement of LA<br>function has been shown to provide<br>valuable clinical<br>information. QLAB Heart Model<br>(K130159/K132165) provides the<br>measurement of LA volume in<br>addition to LV volumes for 3D<br>images. Adding LA volume<br>measurements to a2DQ provides<br>this valuable information to the<br>large percentage of customers who<br>only do 2D imaging. |

image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems. The modifications to the currently marketed QLAB aCMQ (including CMQ Stress) and a2DQ do not affect the safety and efficacy of the proposed QLAB Advanced Quantification with the modified the aCMQ/CMQ Stress and a2DQ applications.
{5}------------------------------------------------
### 7) Determination of Substantial Equivalence
#### Non-clinical performance data
No performance standards for PACS systems or components have been issued under the authority of Section 514. The a2DQ/aCMQ modifications were tested in accordance with Philips internal processes. Verification and software validation data support the proposed modified QLAB a2DQ/aCMQ/CMQ Stress software relative to the currently marketed unmodified QLAB software.
Design Control activities to assure the safe and effective performance of the modified Q-Apps included, but were not limited to:
- · Requirements Review
- Design Review
- · Risk Management
- · Software Verification and Validation
Software Verification and Validation testing concluded that the modifications to the QLAB a2DQ and aCMQ/CMQ Stress Q-Apps are safe and effective and introduce no new risks.
#### Summary of Clinical Tests
QLAB introduces no new indications for use, modes, features, or technologies relative to the predicate device (QLAB) that require clinical testing.
#### 8) Conclusions
Software Verification and Validation activities required to establish the performance, functionality, and reliability characteristics of the modified QLAB Q-Apps with respect to the predicate were performed. Testing performed demonstrated that the proposed OLAB Advanced Quantification Software, with modified Q-Apps, meets defined requirements and performance claims.
#### 514 Performance Standards
There are no Sec. 514 performance standards for this device.
#### Prescription Status
This is a prescription device. The prescription device statement appears in the labeling.
#### Sterilization Site(s)
Not applicable. QLAB Advanced Quantification is a software only device.
