It is intended for installation on an off-the-shelf PC meeting or exceeding minimum specifications. The Acies primarily facilitates processing and presentation of medical images on display monitors suitable for the medical task being performed. The Acies can process and display medical images from a variety of different modality systems. It also interfaces to various image storage and printing devices using DICOM or similar interface standards. Lossy compressed mammographic images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MP resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA. ## Device Story Acies is a PACS software application installed on off-the-shelf Windows-based PCs. It functions as a server-client front-end, enabling image storage, retrieval, and viewing. The system ingests medical images from various modalities via DICOM or DICOM-based interfaces. It processes and presents these images on clinical display monitors. The system also supports the display of diagnostic images received as DICOM Structured Reports (SR) from FDA-cleared Computer Aided Detection (CAD) processors. Used in clinical environments, it allows healthcare providers to review and interpret medical images to support diagnostic decision-making. The device facilitates efficient image management and viewing, potentially improving diagnostic workflows and patient care. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by verification and validation testing demonstrating performance comparable to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based PACS for off-the-shelf Windows PCs. Supports DICOM and DICOM-based interface standards. Implements JPEG compression (ISO/IEC 10918-1). Conforms to IEC 62304 (software life cycle) and ISO 14971 (risk management). ## 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 - HOLOGIC SecurView DX ([K062107](/device/K062107.md)) - KONICAMINOLTA REGIUS Unitea / ImagePilot ([K071436](/device/K071436.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Predicate Device HOLOGIC SecurView DX, K062107 KONICAMINOLTA REGIUS Unitea / ImagePilot, K071436 #### 9. Description of Device The Acies is the software that is intended to configure PACS ( Picture Archiving and Communications System ) using a normal Windows-based PC. The workstation on which this software is installed can be utilized as the server-client front-end PC with the function of the Image server and the Viewer to read the image stored in the server. In addition, it is capable to {1}------------------------------------------------ read the image from the client PC through the network. The Acies primarily facilitates processing and presentation of medical images on display monitors suitable for the medical task being performed. The Acies can process and display medical images from a variety of different modality systems. It also interfaces to various image storage and printing devices using DICOM or DICOM based interface standards. Lossy compressed mammographic images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MP resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA. The system is also capable of displaying the diagnostic image on the display screen by receiving DICOM SR from FDA approved CAD (Computed Aided Detection) processor. # 10. Indications for Use The Acies is a software product. It is intended for installation on an off-the-shelf PC meeting or exceeding minimum specifications. The Acies primarily facilitates processing and presentation of medical images on display monitors suitable for the medical task being performed.

Lossy compressed mammographic images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 MP resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA. #### 11. Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device As a PACS, the indication for use of the Acies is similar to HOLOGIC SecurView DX, K062107. Indications for use except mammography image display capabilities of the Acies is the almost the same to our REGIUS Unitea / ImagePilot, K071436. Compare the Acies to above 2 devices in Section 4, Device Description, Comparison Table at Page 4-11 and 4-12 in detail. And, technological characteristics of the new device (Acies) and the predicate device are almost the same because hardware configuration, software function (ex:image processing) and expected connecting modalities are almost the same as our REGIUS Unitea / ImagePilot, K071436 and HOLOGIC $$\mathbf{2} \cdot \mathbf{2}$$ {2}------------------------------------------------ SecurView DX, K062107. The results of Verification and Validation testing shows that there is no safety and efficacy issue of the Acies introducing those already have identified with the predicate device. The Acies is comparable and substantially equivalent to HOLOGIC SecurView DX, K062107 and is comparable and substantially equivalent to the capabilities excluding mammography image display capabilities of our REGIUS Unitea / ImagePilot, K071436. # 12. Conformance to Standards The Acies conforms to the following voluntary standards: - IEC 62304:2006 Medical devices Software -Software life cycle processes - ISO 14971:2007 Medical devices –Application of risk management to medical devices - ISO/IEC 10918-1(1994-02): Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-Tone Still Images(JPEG) - DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) . Detailed information of each refers to the following - IEC 62304: Section 6,(Page6-7) and Appendix6-A . - ISO 14971: Section5 . - ISO/IEC 10918-1(1994-02): Appendix4-C . - DICOM: Appendix4-A and 4-B #### 13. Conclusion The Acies has basically the same technological characteristic as the predicate devices which are cleared 510(k) number K062107 and K071436. This 510(k) has demonstrated substantial equivalence as the predicate devices. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/0 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America.

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of {4}------------------------------------------------ medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
