Intended Use

Arterys Viewer is intended to be used as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM information and data management system. The Arterys Viewer displays, processes, stores, and transfers medical data from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that support the DICOM standard, with the exception of mammography. It provides the capability to store images and patient information from OEM equipment, and perform filtering, digital manipulation and quantitative measurements. The client software is designed to run on standard personal and business computers. The product is intended to be used by trained medical professionals, including but not limited to radiologists, and physicians. It is intended to provide image and related information that is interpreted by a trained professional to render findings and/or diagnosis, but it does not directly generate any diagnosis or potential findings.

Device Story

Arterys Viewer is a web-based DICOM/non-DICOM image management system. It ingests medical images from OEM equipment; provides tools for 2D/3D visualization (MIP, MinIP, surface rendering, MPR), cine playback, and quantitative measurements (distance, area, pixel intensity). Used by radiologists and physicians on standard computers via web browser. The system facilitates image review and reporting; it does not generate automated diagnoses. Clinicians use the output to render clinical findings. Benefits include streamlined image access, manipulation, and quantitative analysis for diagnostic support.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Software verification and validation were performed in accordance with IEC 62304:2006/AC:2008 and FDA guidance for software and cybersecurity. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Web-based client-server architecture (Linux server, web browser client). Supports DICOM standard, JPEG2000 compression. Features include 2D/3D visualization, MPR, cine, and quantitative measurement tools. Software lifecycle follows IEC 62304.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by trained medical professionals (radiologists, oncologists, physicians) to display, process, store, and transfer DICOM and non-DICOM medical images (excluding mammography) for interpretation and diagnosis. Not for direct generation of findings or diagnosis.

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).
