Supports telecardiology via ISDN lines for remote consultation; allows attachment of vocal and graphic annotations to patient files. Used by clinicians to review images and facilitate patient referral; improves workflow efficiency in cath lab environments.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based system operating on WindowsNT PC platform. Inputs: x-ray video signals, DICOM data. Outputs: DICOM CDs, Microsoft Word reports, enhanced images. Connectivity: ISDN for telecardiology, DICOM 3.0 standard compliance. Image processing: zoom, magnification, brightness, contrast, gamma adjustment.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in catheterization laboratory environments for the management, review, and communication of heart catheterization and angiographic studies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An angiographic x-ray system is a device intended for radiologic visualization of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system during or after injection of a contrast medium.

### Predicate Device(s)
The TCS is substantially equivalent to ComView's WriteStar and ViewStar System (K964274).
### Name of the Device:
The TCS - Medcon's Telecardiology System
## Description of the Device:
The TCS provides a complete software tool for the convenient and efficient recording, storage, review, and communication of heart catheterization and other angiographic studies In the catheterization lab environment. The TCS also creates DICOM 3.0 CDs from the cath lab procedures.
The TCS operates on a WindowsNT® PC. The TCS automatically acquires the x-ray video signal and places each video inside the patient's file. The patient file may also contain single images from a video, and reports (which automatically include the full patient details and selected images from the procedure) in Microsoft® Word format. During the review of videos and single images, image enhancement tools, such as zooming, magnification, full screen view, playback loop and brightness, contrast and gamma controls may be applied.
As well as creating DICOM CDs, the TCS can also import data from DICOM CDs into its database, where they are written as patient files. Data may also be introduced to the TCS via telecardiology over an ISDN line, enabling professional consultation and referral of patients from level to level of the cardiac health care system. The patient files sent and received via telecardiology may also have vocal and graphic annotations attached to them. All new patient files, whether acquired from x-ray, imported from a DICOM CD, or received via telecardiology, are logged so that their source and ownership may easily be determined.

Dear Mr. Orbach:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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. Drue, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major resulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
