Intended Use

Oryx Cloud Imaging is an internet-based, image management software (PACS) that enables dental offices to keep records of hard and soft tissue charts in a form of digital images. The system uses a Web-based interface and includes acquisition, editing and storage of digital images. Images and data can be stored, communicated, processed and displayed within the system or across computer networks at distributed locations. Images can be acquired from standard dental imaging devices, or can be uploaded directly from the user's computer. Images can be edited (e.g., zoomed, contrast, rotated, etc.), as well as exported. The system is designed to provide images for diagnostic use.

Device Story

Oryx Cloud Imaging is a cloud-based dental PACS software; enables acquisition, viewing, annotation, and organization of dental radiographs and color images. Inputs include images from standard dental imaging devices (intraoral X-ray sensors, cameras, scanners) or direct file uploads. Software provides image editing tools (zoom, contrast, rotation, cropping, brightness, gamma adjustment). Used in dental offices by dentists and qualified staff; operates on standard PC hardware via web browser. Output is displayed on PC monitor; supports export as DICOM, PNG, JPEG, or PDF. Facilitates case diagnosis, review, and treatment planning. Does not perform automated diagnosis; requires human interpretation. Integrates with practice management software for scheduling and billing. Benefits include centralized, accessible patient records and efficient image management.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes software risk assessment, verification and validation testing, and clinical expert evaluation to confirm system performance and reliability for dental image management.

Technological Characteristics

Web-based software application; cloud-hosted. Supports secure data transmission via HTTPS. Features include image acquisition (TWAIN, web camera, standard dental devices), lossless compression, and image manipulation tools. Compatible with standard PC hardware. Software-only device; no hardware components included. Moderate level of concern.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients in dental offices for the acquisition, storage, management, and display of digital dental images (radiographs and color images) to assist in diagnosis, review, and treatment planning.

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).

Oryx Cloud Imaging is a cloud-based dental imaging software that allows access to diagnostic images on any Mac or PC with an active internet connection. Oryx Cloud Imaging is feature rich, including full feature parity with traditional client-server based dental imaging software. {4}------------------------------------------------ Oryx Cloud Imaging is a Class II dental imaging software that includes the ability to acquire, view, annotate, and organize dental radiographs and color images. Oryx Cloud Imaging integrates with most major client-server and web-based practice management software. Images stored using Oryx Cloud Imaging are saved using lossless compression, and can be exported as DICOM, PNG, JPEG, or PDF files. Oryx Cloud Imaging is a software-only dental image device which allows the user to acquire images using standard dental imaging devices, such as intraoral X-ray sensors, intraoral cameras, and scanners. Orvx Cloud Imaging is imaging software designed for use in dentistry. The main Oryx Cloud Imaging software functionality includes image acquisition, organization. Oryx Cloud Imaging is used by dental professionals for the visualization of patient images retrieved from a dental imaging device or scanner, for assisting in case diagnosis, review, and treatment planning. Dentists and other qualified individuals can display and review images, apply annotations, and manipulate images. Oryx Cloud Imaging is a standalone product but is designed to work cooperatively with dental practice management software that is used for scheduling, clinical note taking, and billing. The software operates upon standard PC hardware and displays images on the PC's connected display/monitor. The subject device is the Oryx PACS software; the computer or the monitor are not part of the submission. Oryx Cloud Imaging neither contacts the patient nor controls any life sustaining devices. Diagnosis is not performed by this software but by doctors and other qualified individuals. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention, interprets images and information being displayed and printed. Oryx Cloud Imaging is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients. Oryx Cloud Imaging Software has a Moderate Level of Concern. #### > INDICATIONS FOR USE Oryx Cloud Imaging is an internet-based, image management software (PACS) that enables dental offices to keep records of hard and soft tissue charts in a form of digital images. The system uses a Web-based interface and includes acquisition, editing and storage of digital images. Images and data can be stored, communicated, processed and displayed within the system or across computer networks at distributed locations.
