## Intended Use

The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE (KDS) Medical Image and Information Library is a DICOM conformant archival product designed for use within a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The system utilizes a prefetching algorithm to facilitate fast access to previous imagery.

## Device Story

KDS Medical Image and Information Library (MIIL) functions as a DICOM-conformant image storage, distribution, and library system within a PACS environment. System components include a Sun SPARC host CPU, magnetic RAID cache, and KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE ADL 150 writeable CD jukebox. Hierarchical storage library software manages RAID and CD subsystems as a single filesystem. Device inputs include medical images via DICOM; system uses prefetching algorithm to optimize retrieval speed for previous imagery. Output consists of stored/retrieved medical images for clinical review. Operated by radiology staff/technicians in clinical settings. Facilitates efficient image management and access to historical patient data to support clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

System architecture: Sun SPARC station 5 or 20 host CPU, Sun SPARC storage Array RAID subsystem, KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE ADL 150 writeable CD jukebox. Interface: SCSI. Media: 5.25" CD-Recordable. Power: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Connectivity: DICOM conformant, HIS/RIS interface. Software: Proprietary hierarchical storage library management.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical image storage device is a hardware device that provides electronic storage and retrieval functions for medical images. Examples include electronic hardware devices employing magnetic and optical discs, magnetic tapes, and digital memory.

## Predicate Devices

# VII. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

The system consists of three main components: 1) the host CPU (a Sun SPARC station 5 or 20) with pre-installed proprietary software, 2) the magnetic cache (a Sun SPARC storage Array RAID subsystem), and 3) a KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE ADL 150 writeable CD jukebox. The RAID subsystem and the CD jukebox are managed by a hierarchical storage library that presents these two subsystems to the system software running on the host CPU as a single, very large filesystem. The power supply Provides power to operate the unit from a line voltage for 100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

# VIII. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE (KDS) Medical Image and Information Library is a DICOM conformant archival product designed for use within a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The system utilizes a prefetching algorithm to facilitate fast access to previous imagery.
