Neowise is a medical imaging software intended for use in dental and medical applications as a tool for displaying and visualizing dental and medical 2D and 3D image files from imaging devices, such as projection radiography and CBCT. It is intended for use by radiologists, clinicians, referring physicians and other qualified individuals to elaborate (retrieve, process, render, diagnose, review, and for non-medical application as store, print and distribute) images of both adults and pediatric patients. Neowise is also software for simulating treatment options. Neowise is also intended to be used for monitoring, recording, storing and displaying mandibular jaw position related to maxilla. The software is for use by authorized healthcare professionals. Use of the software for surgical treatment planning requires that the user has the necessary medical training in maxillofacial surgery.
Device Story
Neowise is medical imaging software for dental/medical applications; runs on standard Windows PC workstation. Inputs include 2D/3D image files, optical impressions, 3D face photos, and DICOM data from extraoral/intraoral imaging devices or TWAIN-compatible sources. Software enables acquisition, visualization, transfer, analysis, and processing of cranio-maxillofacial images. Features include brightness/contrast adjustment, image cropping, annotations, and measurement tools (segment/polyline). Supports treatment simulation and monitoring/recording of mandibular jaw position relative to maxilla. Output includes processed images, reports, and exported data for third-party software. Used by radiologists, clinicians, and referring physicians to support diagnosis and treatment planning. Benefits include enhanced visualization and standardized management of patient imaging data to assist clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Software validation conducted per IEC 62304 and FDA guidance on software validation and risk management (ISO 14971). Verification and validation testing confirmed that all functional requirements were met.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device running on standard Windows PC. Supports DICOM, 2D/3D image formats, optical impressions, and 3D face photos. Features include image processing (brightness/contrast, crop), annotations, and measurement tools. Connectivity via TWAIN and third-party software export. Developed under ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820; compliant with IEC 62304 for software lifecycle.
Indications for Use
Indicated for radiologists, clinicians, and referring physicians to display, visualize, and process 2D/3D dental and medical images (e.g., projection radiography, CBCT) for adult and pediatric patients. Includes treatment simulation and monitoring/recording of mandibular jaw position relative to maxilla. Requires authorized healthcare professional use; surgical planning requires maxillofacial surgery training.
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 Ilenia Muccione:
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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13484 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5 (Corrective and preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18.
