The system is intended for use with a variety of imaging modalities including CT, MR and CR for the transmission of image data to a variety of printing, viewing and storage devices.

Device Story

Communications gateway device; accepts medical image data from imaging modalities (CT, MR, CR) via DICOM, digital, or analog video formats. Transforms inputs by converting data formats to DICOM or other digital standards; utilizes video frame grabber/digitizer board for analog video. Operated by clinical staff via keypad or host modality control. Output transmitted to printing, viewing, or archive systems. Facilitates image data transmission for clinical review; supports diagnostic workflows by ensuring image compatibility across hospital network systems. No patient contact; does not control or monitor patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Safety and effectiveness assured via compliance with voluntary standards (UL950, CSA C22.2 No. 950). No clinical data provided; device does not contact patients or affect clinical decision-making directly.

Technological Characteristics

Communications gateway; utilizes video frame grabber/digitizer board for analog video. Connectivity: DICOM, digital, and video interfaces. Standards: UL950, CSA C22.2 No. 950. Software-based format conversion. No patient contact. Standalone network interface unit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a communications gateway for transmitting medical image data from imaging modalities (CT, MR, CR) to printing, viewing, or archive systems. No specific patient population or contraindications defined.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical image communications device provides electronic transfer of medical image data between medical devices. It may include a physical communications medium, modems, and interfaces. It may provide simple image review software functionality for medical image processing and manipulation, such as grayscale window and level, zoom and pan, user delineated geometric measurements, compression, or user added image annotations. The device does not perform advanced image processing or complex quantitative functions. This does not include electronic transfer of medical image software functions.

#### Description And Intended Use of Device:

The Imation™ MODEL 9410 NETWORK INTERFACE Network Interface is intended for use as a communications gateway. It accepts input from imaging source modalities and transfers the image data to a compatible printing, viewing, archive or network system. The MODEL 9410 NETWORK INTERFACE accepts input in DICOM standard, digital or video formats and converts, if needed, to DICOM Standard or other digital formats. The system is intended for use with a variety of imaging modalities including CT, MR and CR for the transmission of image data to a variety of printing, viewing and storage devices.

#### Technological Characteristics:

The subject device and predicate devices use the same technical design base. The communications gateway devices receive image data from an imaging modality. User control is performed by a keypad or directly by the modality through the host control. Based on the control data from the modality, image information is transferred to the appropriate destination device.

Software is used to convert, as needed, image and control data from one digital format to another. In the case of analog video digitization, a commercially available video frame grabber / digitizer board is used.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Performance Data:

Safety and effectiveness are key activities in the commercialization and are assured via meeting voluntary standards, including UL950, CSA C22.2 No. 950, and Imation™ MODEL 9410 NETWORK INTERFACE Requirements specification(Part B).

Released software, according to the established procedures, is given a production level code and subsequent code changes undergo testing, hazard analysis and approval equivalent to the initial release.

#### Conclusion:

The subject device, like the predicates, has no patient contact. The devices also do not control, monitor or otherwise effect any devices directly connected to or effecting the patient. Images communicated by the subject device and its predicates are reviewed by medical personnel, offering ample opportunity for competent human intervention in case of a malfunction or other failure.

Images communicated by the subject device maintain the same or better image properties in the areas of spatial and gray-scale resolution and in density uniformity as the predicate. No lossy compression is used in this device.

The subject and predicate device(s) have all been designed to equivalent safety standards.

Imation therefore concludes that the Imation™ MODEL 9410 NETWORK INTERFACE Network Interface is as safe and effective as the predicate device
