The data consists of previously acquired information on cerebral arterial blood flow velocity measurements and the occurrence of micro-embolic signals in the cerebral arterial blood flow. PMD Viewer operates exclusively as a stand-alone software product on a standard PC. PMD Viewer is intended for use by a technologist or physician trained in the use of Doppler ultrasound. PMD Viewer is NOT intended to replace any means of evaluating vital patient physiological processes. No new intended uses are claimed. ## Device Story PMD Viewer is a software-only application for off-line review of transcranial Doppler ultrasound studies; inputs consist of proprietary binary files containing cerebral arterial blood flow velocity measurements and micro-embolic signal data previously acquired by the Spencer Technologies TCD100M/PMD150 system. The software runs on standard PCs (Windows XP/Vista) and enables physicians or technologists to view, playback, and generate reports from these studies without image compression. The device does not acquire original images or control life-sustaining equipment; it serves as a diagnostic review tool. Healthcare providers use the output to interpret cerebral blood flow data, supporting clinical decision-making regarding patient vascular status. The device benefits patients by allowing remote or off-line analysis of diagnostic ultrasound data by trained specialists. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. The device is a software-only viewer for previously acquired diagnostic data; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and functional comparison to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Software-only medical image viewer; operates on standard PC hardware (Windows XP/Vista). Supports DICOM and proprietary TCD100M/PMD150 binary file formats. Connectivity via network or magneto-optical drive. No patient-contacting components. Does not perform image acquisition or life-sustaining control. ## 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 - CSV12 Software Viewer ([K022896](/device/K022896.md)) - TCD 100M/PMD150 Diagnostic Ultrasound System ([K002533](/device/K002533.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Predicate Device The PMD Viewer, addressed in this premarket notification, is substantially equivalent to the following commercially available devices: | Manufacturer | Trade Name | 510(k) No | Product Code | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-----------|--------------| | Acuson Corporation | CSV12 Software Viewer | K022896 | 90 LLZ | | Spencer Technologies | TCD 100M/PMD150 Diagnostic
Ultrasound System | K002533 | 90 IYN | Note: In this document we refer to the Acuson Viewer as the "predicate device", and to the PMD Viewer as the "predicate (parent) device". #### H. Device Description This device is a software-only version of the Spencer Technologies digital Transcranial Doppler ultrasound system, the TCD100M/PMD150, and is described as the PMD Viewer. The modification of the TCD100M/PMD150 implemented in the PMD Viewer provides physicians and technologists with the same data viewing, playback, and report generation features of the TCD100M/PMD150 off-line on a standard PC utilizing Windows XP SP2 or VISTA. All software features can be controlled with a standard keyboard and wheel mouse. Because it can read the proprietary binary file formats of the predicate (parent) device, the TCD100M/PMD150, the PMD Viewer displays images without any compression, duplicating the original quality of the images on the TCD100M/PMD150. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### -Intended Use PMD Viewer is intended to provide the same data viewing, playback, and report generation features of its predicate (parent) device, TCD100M/PMD150, Doppler ultrasound studies, offline on a standard PC. The data consists of previously acquired information on cerebral arterial blood flow velocity measurements and the occurrence of micro-embolic signals in the cerebral arterial blood flow. PMD Viewer operates exclusively as a stand-alone software product on a standard PC. PMD Viewer is intended for use by a technologist or physician trained in the use of Doppler ultrasound. PMD Viewer is NOT intended to replace any means of evaluating vital patient physiological processes. No new intended uses are claimed. ### J. Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence PMD Viewer is a medical image device that is used with computer hardware in a picture archiving and communications system user environment. It has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, the Acuson Corporation CSV12 Software Viewer, listed above. 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 the images and information being displayed and printed. PMD Viewer utilizes commercially available computer platforms and operating systems (Microsoft Windows XP/Vista) as does the predicate CSV12 Software Viewer. PMD Viewer does not produce any original medical images. All functions for the review of the PMD device files are the same as reviewing the files on the predicate (parent) device, TCD100M/PMD150, with respect to intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics and design. It is comparable in key safety and effectiveness features. Studies may be transmitted in DICOM or native TCD100M/PMD150 format, to an integrated magnetooptical drive, or over a network. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
