## Intended Use

AW VolumeShare 5 is a review workstation, which allows easy selection, review, processing and filming of multi-modality DICOM images from a variety of diagnostic imaging systems. When interpreted by a trained physician, filmed or displayed images on the AW monitor may be used as a basis of diagnosis, except in the case of mammography images. AngioViz is an application which produces from a DSA series parametric images representing maximum opacification, time to peak and combinations of those, to enable the user to more easily visualize characteristics related to vascular flow. The AngioViz application can be used to process DSA image data from any location in the human body for which DSA imaging is used.

## Device Story

AW VolumeShare 5 is a standalone workstation for multi-modality DICOM image review, processing, and filming. It functions as a platform for various GE software medical devices. The AngioViz option processes Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) series data to generate parametric images, including maximum opacification and time-to-peak maps. These outputs assist clinicians in visualizing vascular flow characteristics. The device is operated by trained physicians or qualified clinical personnel in a clinical setting. Clinicians use the displayed images as a basis for diagnosis. The device benefits patients by providing enhanced visualization of vascular flow from existing DSA data, aiding in clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Standalone workstation; DICOM-compliant; software-based image processing; AngioViz application for parametric vascular flow mapping. Complies with voluntary standards for safety and performance.

## 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

- Advantage Workstation 4.3 ([K052995](/device/K052995.md))

Dear Ms. Peng:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 (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

{3}------------------------------------------------

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). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office

of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
