## Intended Use

MedicColon I is a PC-based, stand-alone, non-invasive, image analysis software application for the display and visualization of 2D and 3D medical image data of the colon derived from CT scans, for the purpose of assisting radiologists and other clinicians in the evaluation of polyps, cancers and other lesions. The software provides functionality for the user to extract the region of interest (ROI) either manually using a drawing tool, or "semi-automatically" through the user selecting a seed point followed by interactive fine-tuning the boundaries of the ROI. It also allows for the simultaneous display of supine and prone images.

## Device Story

MedicColon 1 is a PC-based, stand-alone software for visualizing and analyzing CT colonography images; assists radiologists/clinicians in identifying polyps, cancers, and lesions. Input: 2D/3D CT scan data of the colon. Operation: user selects regions of interest (ROI) manually or via seed-point selection with semi-automatic boundary detection; software allows interactive fine-tuning of ROI boundaries and simultaneous display of supine and prone images. Output: 2D/3D visualizations and quantitative measurements (size/volume) of lesions. Clinical use: aids diagnostic evaluation; supports clinical decision-making by providing enhanced visualization and measurement tools. Benefit: improved assessment of colonic pathology.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance validated through hazard analysis and functional testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

PC-based, stand-alone software application. Functions include 2D/3D visualization, manual ROI drawing, and semi-automatic ROI boundary detection via seed-point selection. Operates on CT scan image data. No specific hardware or connectivity standards mentioned.

## Regulatory Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for a company called "medicsight". The logo consists of a square divided into nine smaller squares, with the corners of the larger square rounded off. The central square is white, while the surrounding squares are black. The word "medicsight" is written in a sans-serif font below the square.

#### Device Description:

MedicColon™ 1 is a software tool designed to assist radiologists and other clinicians in the evaluation of polyps, cancers and other lesions in the colon. The software allows the user to select Regions of Interest either manually or by selecting a single or double seed point, followed by semi-automatic detection of the ROI boundary. It provides 2D and 3D visualisation of polyps and other lesions, and measurement of polyp characteristics such as size and volume.

#### Intended Use:

MedicColon I is a PC-based, stand-alone, non-invasive, image analysis software application for the display and visualization of 2D and 3D medical image data of the colon derived from CT scans, for the purpose of assisting radiologists and other clinicians in the evaluation of polyps, cancers and other lesions. The software provides functionality for the user to extract the region of interest (ROI) either manually using a drawing tool, or "semi-automatically" through the user selecting a seed point followed by interactive fine-tuning the boundaries of the ROI. It also allows for the simultaneous display of supine and prone images.

#### Comparison to Predicate Device:

As in the predicate devices, Voxar VC Model 1.0 and Siemens Syngo Colonography Product. MedicColon 1 assists users in assessing CT images for the identification and evaluation of polyps, cancers and other lesions in the colon.

Test data are provided to validate the performance of the system and its substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The functional features and the intended use of MedicColon 1 are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

#### Safety:

A comprehensive hazard analysis was carried out on MedicColon 1, which concluded that any residual risks were as low as reasonably practicable and judged as acceptable when weighed against the intended benefits of use of the system.

#### Conclusion:

MedicColon 1 does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to existing legally marketed devices. MedicColon 1 is therefore substantially equivalent with respect to safety and effectiveness to the predicate devices.
