## Intended Use

The Obsidian PACS System is used to acquire, transmit, view, and store image or patient data. This data can be transmitted, stored, and viewed over a computer network or off-site using an Internet connection. The typical users of this system are trained professionals, including but not limited to, radiologist, physicians, technicians, and nurses. The 3D Ultrasound Image Router is indicated for capture and storage of 2D images from an ultrasound system and reconstructing them into 3D ultrasound images. These images provide an approximate representation of the 3D volume for use in obstetric exams. The 3D images are not intended for use in diagnosis or quantitative measurements. This device is intended to provide an approximate representation of the 3D volume for use in obstetric exams.

## Device Story

Obsidian PACS System connects to analog/digital imaging devices (ultrasound, CT, MRI, digitizer) to acquire, transmit, store, and display patient data. System operates over local area networks or Internet connections. Includes 3D Ultrasound Image Router component that captures 2D ultrasound images and reconstructs them into 3D volumes for obstetric visualization. Operated by trained professionals (radiologists, physicians, technicians, nurses) in clinical settings. Output provides approximate 3D volume representation for obstetric exams; not intended for diagnostic or quantitative use. Healthcare providers interpret displayed images to support clinical workflows. Device does not contact patients or control life-sustaining equipment.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

PACS system for image acquisition, transmission, and storage. Connectivity via LAN or Internet. Supports DICOM standards. Software-based image processing for 3D reconstruction from 2D ultrasound inputs. Non-patient contacting. Minor level of concern for software risk.

## Regulatory 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

- Echo Tech Easy 3D ([K013088](/device/K013088.md))

Class II - 892.2050 Classification:

Device Description: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(4)

The Obsidian PACS System is comprised of components that connect to an analog or digital medical imaging device (ultrasound, CT, MRI, digitizer), transmit image or patient data, and store image or patient data. The transmission of data can occur internally or externally using a local area network or Internet connection.

Indications for Use: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(5)

The Obsidian PACS System is used to acquire, transmit, view, and store image or patient data. This data can be transmitted, stored, and viewed over a computer network or off-site using an Internet connection. The typical users of this system are trained professionals, including but not limited to, radiologist, physicians, technicians, and nurses.

The 3D Ultrasound Image Router is indicated for capture and storage of 2D images from an ultrasound system and reconstructing them into 3D ultrasound images. These images provide an approximate representation of the 3D volume for use in obstetric exams. The 3D images are not intended for use in diagnosis or quantitative measurements. This device is intended to provide an approximate representation of the 3D volume for use in obstetric exams.

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

Technological Characteristics: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(6)

The device does not contact the patient, nor does it control any life sustaining devices. A physician, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interprets images and information being displayed and printed. This device transmits data on and off-site.

## Conclusion: 21 CFR 807 92(b)(3)

In accordance with the FDA document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices," the level of risk of the Obsidian PACS System was considered to be minor. The documentation submitted on the device system reflects this level of risk and consist of the following documents:

- . Architectural design chart
- . Hazard analysis
- DICOM conformance statement .

These documents contain adequate information and data to enable FDA – CDRH to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The Obsidian PACS System will be manufactured in accordance with the standards listed in the enclosed specifications documentation.
