NOTE
The digitizers do not include application specific software (Picture Archiving and Communications [PAC] system,
Teleradiology, Oncology Systems, or Computer Aided Detection [CAD] software). The manufacturer of the application
software will determine specific indications for use. These third-party software packages or complete systems are
approved separately from a regulatory perspective.
The digitizers are marketed as a component to application software development companies, who will incorporate the
digitizer into their respective PACS or Teleradiology, CAD system(s). The software developer is ultimately responsible
for detailing the Contraindications for the PACS System (or Teleradiology software package) or Oncology Systems as
a whole, including the digitizer.
