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.

## 10. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

Pre-set criteria were utilized in validation tests to assess whether remote viewing and reviewing with SonoSync matched the performance of local ultrasound systems. Specifications for remote displays and required network bandwidth to ensure diagnostic image quality were identified. Labeling materials have been prepared to inform users about the necessary specifications for safely and effectively conducting remote diagnostic reviews and viewing.

## 11. Conclusion

Since the predicate device and the subject device have a similar intended use and key technological features, the non-clinical data support the safety of the device and demonstrate that the SonoSync should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. Therefore, SAMSUNG MEDISON CO., LTD. considers the subject device to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device that is currently marketed for the same indication for use.
