Intended Use
QMENTA Care Platform Family is a software medical imaging system used to receive DICOM images and textual reports, organize and store them in an internal format, and to make that information available across a network via web and customized user interfaces. QMENTA Care Platform Family consists of two components: 1. A Storage/archiving server for the retrieval of DICOM images from CT and MR modality data, and also PET/CT data from PACS and/or OS-based file storage. 2. A workflow server that allows to integrate legally marketed applications for clinical use into the QMENTA Care Platform Family. The applications are geared toward specific types of image analysis and are marketed with corresponding names. The results may be saved to a DICOM image file and may be further visualized on an imaging workstation. QMENTA Care Platform Family is designed to aid suitably qualified physicians, who will base their diagnoses on training and protocols that do not necessarily rely on image maps or image quantifications.
Device Story
Software medical imaging system; receives DICOM images/reports from CT, MR, PET/CT modalities via PACS or file storage; acts as storage/archiving and workflow server; integrates third-party clinical image analysis applications; outputs results as DICOM files (images, overlays, numerical reports) for visualization on workstations; used in clinical settings by radiologists/physicians; aids diagnosis by providing processed image data; benefits patient through streamlined access to advanced analysis tools.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Verification and validation testing performed per internal procedures and standards (ISO 14971, IEC 62304, IEC 62366). Usability testing conducted with 15 participants representing intended user population.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based medical imaging system; runs on standard computer hardware; utilizes VM or Docker containers for application hosting; cloud-deployed; fully DICOM compliant; supports DICOM file transfer; integrates third-party clinical applications; cybersecurity controls implemented.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by qualified physicians to aid in the management, storage, and retrieval of DICOM medical images (CT, MR, PET/CT) and to integrate third-party clinical image analysis applications into a workflow server for diagnostic support.
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).

## Dear Paulo Rodrigues:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.
