The Barco MMPC-4127F1 (PP27QHD) device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to display digital images of histopathology slides acquired from IVD-labeled whole-slide imaging scanners that have been validated for use with this device, for review and interpretation by pathologists. The display is not intended for use with digital images from frozen section, cytology, or non-formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (non-FFPE) hematopathology specimens.
Device Story
MMPC-4127F1 (PP27QHD) is a 27-inch color-calibrated IPS LCD display system for viewing digital histopathology slides. Device receives digital image data from validated IVD-labeled whole-slide imaging scanners; displays images for pathologist review and interpretation in clinical settings. System includes QAWeb quality assurance software for calibration and luminance stabilization via front sensor. Output allows pathologists to perform diagnostic interpretation of tissue samples. Benefits include standardized, color-accurate visualization of digital pathology slides to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via spatial resolution, pixel defect, artifact, temporal response, luminance/chromaticity stability, grayscale tracking, and noise power spectrum testing. Results demonstrate performance equivalent to predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
27-inch IPS LCD panel; 2560x1440 resolution; 10-bit/sub-pixel LUT; 1000:1 contrast ratio; 500 cd/m² max luminance. Features front-sensor luminance stabilization. Connectivity via DisplayPort/USB. Calibration software: MediCal QAWeb. Operating temperature 10-40°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pathologists to review and interpret digital images of histopathology slides (FFPE) acquired from validated IVD-labeled whole-slide imaging scanners. Not indicated for frozen section, cytology, or non-FFPE hematopathology specimens.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
The whole slide imaging system is an automated digital slide creation, viewing, and management system intended as an aid to the pathologist to review and interpret digital images of surgical pathology slides. The system generates digital images that would otherwise be appropriate for manual visualization by conventional light microscopy.
Special Controls
A whole slide imaging system must comply with the following special controls: (1) Premarket notification submissions must include the following information: (i) The indications for use must specify the tissue specimen that is intended to be used with the whole slide imaging system and the components of the system. (ii) A detailed description of the device and bench testing results at the component level, including for the following, as appropriate: (A) Slide feeder; (B) Light source; (C) Imaging optics: (D)Mechanical scanner movement; (E) Digital imaging sensor; (F) Image processing software; (G)Image composition techniques; (H)Image file formats; (I) Image review manipulation software; (J) Computer environment; (K)Display system. (iii)Detailed bench testing and results at the system level, including for the following, as appropriate: (A)Color reproducibility; (B) Spatial resolution; (C) Focusing test; (D) Whole slide tissue coverage; (E) Stitching error: (F) Turnaround time. (iv) Detailed information demonstrating the performance characteristics of the device, including, as appropriate: (A)Precision to evaluate intra-system and inter-system precision using a comprehensive set of clinical specimens with defined, clinically relevant histologic features from various organ systems and diseases. Multiple whole slide imaging systems, multiple sites, and multiple readers must be included. (B) Reproducibility data to evaluate inter-site variability using a comprehensive set of clinical specimens with defined, clinically relevant histologic features from various organ systems and diseases. Multiple whole slide imaging systems, multiple sites, and multiple readers must be included. (C) Data from a clinical study to demonstrate that viewing, reviewing, and diagnosing digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from tissue slides using the whole slide imaging system is non-inferior to using an optical microscope. The study should evaluate the difference in major discordance rates between manual digital (MD) and manual optical (MO) modalities when compared to the reference (e.g., main sign-out diagnosis). (D) A detailed human factors engineering process must be used to evaluate the whole slide imaging system user interface(s). (2) Labeling compliant with 21 CFR 809.10(b) must include the following: The intended use statement must include the information described in paragraph (i) (1)(i) of this section, as applicable, and a statement that reads, "It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate procedures and safeguards to assure the validity of the interpretation of images obtained using this device." (ii) A description of the technical studies and the summary of results, including those that relate to paragraph (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section, as appropriate. (iii) A description of the performance studies and the summary of results, including those that relate to paragraph (1)(iv) of this section, as appropriate. (iv) A limiting statement that specifies that pathologists should exercise professional judgment in each clinical situation and examine the glass slides by conventional microscopy if there is doubt about the ability to accurately render an interpretation using this device alone.
