## Intended Use

EagleSoft's ChairSide is a clinical software program that enables dental offices to keep records of hard and soft tissue charts, treatment plans, clinical notes, audio recordings, and clinical exam data. In addition, it also offers an imaging module for image acquisition, editing, and storage of digital images. It is designed to be a single-source solution for a dentist's software needs for clinical and diagnostic use when serving the general public. Images can be acquired from standard dental imaging devices including Digital Radiographic Devices, Digital Video Capture Devices, and Generic Image Devices such as scanners. Nondiagnostic images can then be edited (i.e. resized, contrast, cropped, etc.). Images can also be easily imported and exported.

## Device Story

ChairSide is a clinical dental software application used in dental offices by dentists and staff. It functions as a centralized record-keeping system for patient charts, treatment plans, clinical notes, and audio recordings. The device includes an imaging module that acquires digital images from external sources, including digital radiographic devices, video capture devices, and scanners. Users can perform basic image editing (resizing, contrast adjustment, cropping) and manage image storage, import, and export. The software serves as a single-source solution for clinical and diagnostic data management. By consolidating patient records and imaging, it assists clinicians in treatment planning and diagnostic workflows, potentially improving clinical efficiency and patient care documentation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based clinical and diagnostic dental record management system. Features modules for electronic charting, audio recording, and digital image processing. Interfaces with standard dental imaging hardware (radiographic, video, scanners). Operates as a standalone software application for clinical environments.

## 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).
