Indications for Use

The product is an image processing workstation software package designed to run on standard PC hardware. The hardware is all "off-the-shelf" standard computer components and may be purchased independently by the end user or supplied by NIT. The NIT InSight™ software receives image files from medical scanning devices, such as CT or MRI and performs real time viewing, image manipulation, 3D and 4D visualization, communication, and archiving.

Device Story

InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation is a software package running on standard off-the-shelf PC hardware (Pentium/Windows NT). It receives medical image files (CT, MRI) via DICOM 3.0, ACR NEMA 2.0, or proprietary formats. The device performs real-time viewing, image manipulation (window-level, zoom, smooth filters, cine display), and 3D/4D visualization (MIP, MinIP, surface/volume rendering). It supports manual segmentation via contour drawing or CT number thresholding. Outputs are displayed on CRT or LCD monitors and archived to magneto-optical drives. Used by clinicians for diagnostic imaging workflows; facilitates clinical decision-making through enhanced visualization and manipulation of scan data.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based workstation running on standard Pentium PC hardware with Windows NT OS. Supports DICOM 3.0, ACR NEMA 2.0, and proprietary image formats. Display resolution up to 1024x1024, 12-bit. Storage via 2.6 GB Magneto-Optical drive. Processing includes window-leveling, filtering, and volume rendering algorithms. Minor level of concern for software safety.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an image processing workstation for viewing, manipulating, visualizing (3D/4D), communicating, and archiving medical images (CT/MRI) in a clinical setting.

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).

Predicate Devices

• InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation (K965179)
• Acculmage AIDP (Acculmage Image Display Processor) (K961023)

# 7. Software

Neo Imagery Technologies Inc. certifies that the InSight™ Diagnostic Imaging Workstation software is designed, developed, tested and validated according to written procedures. These procedures identify individuals within the organization responsible for developing and approving product specifications, coding and testing, validation testing and field maintenance.

## 8. Hazard Analysis

Hazard analysis on this product has been performed throughout the definition, design, coding and testing phases of product development and implementation. This process has emphasized:

- . identification of potential hazards, their causes, and their effects;
- development of methodologies to control the occurrence of hazards and to . constrain their effects; and
- Determine any effect on patient safety and system effectiveness. .

The potential hazards associated with this software product are no different than those of other PACS components . These are primarily related to failure of computer system components, and may be variously obviated by decisions taken by the customers of this product. None of these failures are expected to materially contribute to patient death or injury.

It is our conclusion that there is no hardware or software component, operating in a properly configured environment, whose failure or latent design defect would be expected to result in death or injury of a patient. Thus the "Level of Concern" is "Minor".

#### 9. Safety Concerns

The hardware is "off-the-shelf" and complies with applicable electrical safety standards for standard PC hardware and peripherals.

Dear Ms. Young:

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 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). 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 III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations 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 (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notfication"(21 CFR 807.97).
