Intended Use

QLAB 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 software application for viewing and quantifying 3D/4D ultrasound image data. The new 3D Auto MV application integrates a machine-learning-based segmentation engine (derived from HeartModel) with 4D MV-Assessment algorithms (from TomTec-Arena) to provide dynamic mitral valve quantification. The software operates on standard PCs, dedicated workstations, or on-board Philips ultrasound systems. It semi-automatically generates 3D surface models of the mitral valve; users can edit, accept, or reject initial landmark proposals. The output includes morphological and functional measurements (e.g., saddle-shaped annulus area, closure line lengths, total open area). Clinicians use these measurements to support diagnosis and assessment of mitral valve anatomy and function. The device benefits patients by providing automated, reproducible quantification of complex cardiac structures, aiding in clinical decision-making for valve-related disease states.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data required. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical verification and validation testing, including algorithm training and validation studies for the 3D Auto MV application, conducted under the manufacturer's quality management system.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only application package. Utilizes machine learning-based segmentation and 3D surface modeling algorithms. Compatible with standard PCs, dedicated workstations, and on-board ultrasound systems. Connectivity via standard ultrasound data interfaces. No hardware components; no sterilization required.

Indications for Use

Indicated for viewing and quantifying image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems for patients undergoing cardiovascular assessment.

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).
