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 13.0 is a software application for offline review and quantification of ultrasound studies; operates on standard PCs, dedicated workstations, or onboard Philips ultrasound systems. Integrates TomTec-Arena TTA2 technology (AutoStrain LV, LA, RV) into the Philips portfolio. Inputs are ultrasound image data; device uses speckle tracking algorithms and contour detection to analyze myocardial tissue velocity, displacement, strain, and strain rate. Outputs include global and regional functional measurements (e.g., GLS, LA/RV strain). Used by clinicians to support diagnostic decision-making regarding cardiac function. Benefits include simplified workflow and automated quantification of cardiac chambers.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by software verification and validation testing, including requirements review, design review, and risk management activities. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only application; no physical materials. Employs speckle tracking technology and contour detection for cardiac motion analysis. Connectivity includes standalone PC, workstation, or integrated ultrasound system deployment. Algorithm class: automated quantification/tracking.

Indications for Use

Indicated for viewing and quantifying ultrasound image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems to support physicians in the diagnosis of cardiovascular, fetal, and abdominal structures and function in patients with suspected disease.

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).

QLAB is available either as a stand-alone product that can function on a standard PC, a dedicated workstation, and on-board Philips' {4}------------------------------------------------ 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. OLAB software functions through O-App modules, each of which provides specific capabilities. QLAB builds upon a simple and thoroughly modular design to provide smaller and more easily leveraged products. The primary modification to QLAB 13.0 includes the addition of the following applications: - Philips acquired TOMTEC Imaging Systems GmbH in 2017, and the modified OLAB 13.0 release integrates the currently marketed TomTec-Arena TTA2 AutoSTRAIN application (cleared under K150122 for the Left Ventricle) within the Philips QLAB portfolio as AutoStrain LV (Left Ventricle) with some workflow improvements. - . AutoStrain LA (Left Atrium) application combines the functionality of the cleared TomTec-Arena 2D Cardiac Performance Analysis (2D CPA cleared under K150122) and the technology of the cleared TomTec-Arena AutoSTRAIN (cleared under K150122) and provides an easy LA strain solution for user convenience. - . AutoStrain RV (Right Ventricle) application combines the functionality of the cleared TomTec-Arena 2D Cardiac Performance Analysis (2D CPA cleared under K150122) and the technology of the cleared TomTec-Arena AutoSTRAIN (cleared under K150122) and provides an easy RV strain solution for user convenience. 5) Indications for 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 intended use and technological characteristics as the legally marketed predicate device.
