1.2 Purpose of the software

iQ-WEBs intended use is to be a picture archiving and communication system for medical images

and reports. It receives, stores and distributes imaging data and reports within a medical

network. Patient studies created at modalities are typically sent to iQ-WEB for storage and

archiving. Radiologists, physicians and other medical personnel access the data on iQ-WEB

through workstations for reading, viewing and reviewing purposes. The application itself is

divided into a server and a client component. The server component provides the main

functionality of the intended use, i.e. the DICOM communication and the image data

management including tasks such as storage and distribution. The client components main

purpose is to facilitate the administration and configuration of the server component.

NOTICE: When the iQ-WEB software is used not for human medicine but for veterinary medicine, the

product does not fall under the European Council Directive 93/42/EEC and, therefore, does not

qualify as a medical device in the EEA. The regulations of the 93/42/EEC do not apply.

As a picture archiving and communication system iQ-WEBs intended place of action is integrated

into the medical workflow and physical network of hospitals, imaging centers and radiological

practices where it runs continuously and is frequently accessed by the users themselves.

It is intended to be used by trained healthcare personnel only. Named by their profession these

are radiologists, physicians, medical technical assistants, PACS administrators and IT

administrators. The necessary information on how to use iQ-WEB is given by detailed user

documentation and recurring trainings and workshops provided by the manufacturer or

authorized sales partners.

iQ-WEBs functionality can be extended by various modules that are independent in their design,

development and documentation processes. These modules are the DICOM viewers iQ-X and iQ-

4VIEW, the HIS/RIS interface iQ-WEBX WADO, the mobile GUI iQ-WEB2GO as well as iQ-WEBX

WADO HL7 and iQ-WEBX REPORT CONVERTER. As a solution these products can be advertised

and sold together as a bundle.

1.2.1 Intended medical indication

iQ-WEB is intended for the use as Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in

hospitals, imaging centers, radiological practices and doctors offices, where it constitutes a

central node in a DICOM-compliant network. As such, it receives digital medical imaging data,

evidence data, reports and patient information created at modalities, diagnostic stations and

information systems, stores and archives them for longer periods of time and allows their

distribution within the medical network, e.g. to reading, viewing and reviewing stations, by

forwarding and pre-fetching patient studies.

The software is applicable for images of any supported modality and of any human or animal

body part defined in the DICOM standard. Its aim is to ensure the availability of diagnostic

imaging evidence and reports in those locations where diagnoses are formed and documented

as a basis for therapy decisions. For this purpose, it also provides listing and search capabilities

of the stored image data.

No diagnosis or therapy/treatment will be directly performed with iQ-WEB. The device only

contributes indirectly to diagnosis and treatment by ensuring the storage and the availability of

all necessary DICOM imaging data and documented diagnostic results at all times and at all

connected stations.

The application itself is divided into two components:

The server component, that provides the main functionality of the intended use such as the

DICOM communication and the image data management, and

The client component whose main purpose it is to allow for the administration and

configuration of the server component.

The following optional software can be connected to iQ-WEB:

iQ-X. See the intended use of iQ-X.

iQ-4VIEW. See the intended use of iQ-4VIEW.

iQ-WEB2GO. See the intended use of iQ-WEB2GO.

iQ-WEBX WADO. See the intended use of iQ-WEBX WADO.

iQ-WEBX WADO HL7. See the intended use of iQ-WEBX WADO HL7.

iQ-WEBX REPORT CONVERTER. See the intended use of iQ-WEBX REPORT CONVERTER.

iQ-DASHBOARD. See the intended use of iQ-DASHBOARD.

iQ-WEB may also be used with modules of other manufacturers, e.g.:

iQ-3DVIEW

The main uses of the iQ-WEB software are:

To receive, import and query diagnostically relevant DICOM patient and image data.

To store and archive this data.

To distribute this data to other stations by sending it on request or by forwarding it

automatically.

To perform lossless and lossy data compression.

To transfer diagnostic DICOM data to the connected software applications iQ-X and iQ-4VIEW

and to receive and store reports created by these applications.

Additional uses are:

To import non-DICOM data like pictures, images, reports or documents, e.g. from image files,

portable document files (pdf) or scanners.

To export and import DICOM data to/from portable media, e.g. CD, DVD or USB storage

devices.

To print medical images on DICOM film imagers in diagnostic quality and paper printers in

non-diagnostic quality for clinical reference via a connected DICOM print station.

To manually reconcile patient demographics and study information via DICOM modality

worklist.

To detect duplicate patient identities.

The storing and transferring of DICOM data is limited to the SOP classes and transfer syntaxes

stated in the DICOM Conformance Statement. DICOM-incompliant data is not supported.

There is no direct patient interaction with the device, therefore there is no possibility that the

device might lead to fatal fault or injury of a patient.

1.2.2 Intended patient population

iQ-WEB is not intended to be used by patients and is not directly applied to patients. But the

software can be used to receive, store, archive and distribute image and patient data of any

patient, regardless of characteristics, such as age, weight, gender, nationality, ethnicity or

physical/mental state.

The software device is used for the storage and distribution of medical imaging data of healthy

clients (e.g. imaging resulting from screenings) as well as of patients with diseases and/or

injuries.

1.2.3 Intended users and user groups

iQ-WEB is provided in different languages, but the default language is English. Language skills

in either of the languages, in which iQ-WEB is offered, are required to use the software

application properly. For the installation and configuration of the device, English language skills

are necessary. The application user must also have knowledge of basic terms of medical image

data. The user documentation included in the installation package is in English. Documentation

in other languages will be provided on request only.

iQ-WEB is intended to be used by different user groups, depending on the activities they perform

with the device:

PACS and IT administrators use iQ-WEB for administrative tasks, such as installation,

configuration and maintenance, via web interface or application/installation files.

Radiologists, physicians and veterinarians use the web interface directly for searching and

selecting patient data and for accessing this data in connected web-based DICOM viewers

(iQ-X, iQ-4VIEW) or transferring data to an iQ-VIEW station (iQ-VIEW call).

Medical technical assistants, radiological assistants and PACS administrators use the web

interface directly for data management tasks, such as manual import/export or patient data

reconciliation.

Medical technical assistants, radiological technologists, device operators and administrators

of remote DICOM applications only use iQ-WEB indirectly via remote DICOM applications,

e.g. for access to DICOM viewers, for sending image data from modalities or for retrieving

data from iQ-WEB).

The necessary experiences an iQ-WEB user is required to have depend on the user groups using

the device.

All users, independent from the activities they perform with iQ-WEB, must be familiar with the

institutions medical imaging procedures and workflow. All users accessing the iQ-WEB web

interface directly should at least have basic computer literacy. Those personnel using iQ-WEB

only indirectly from another device need professional knowledge of the respective medical

device.

IT and PACS administrators responsible for managing the proper operation of the device within

the network require:

Professional knowledge regarding IT, computer and network structures and protocols.

Work experience in providing and maintaining the proper use of computers, networks and

software applications.

Knowledge about the sites IT environment.

Training regarding the institutions medical and radiological workflow.

At least basic knowledge regarding DICOM communication and protocols.

The following user training is required:

For all direct users: studying of iQ-WEB user documentation (Instructions for Use for users,

Administration Guide and DICOM Conformance Statement for device and network

administrators).

iQ-WEB product training for users by an authorized partner of the manufacturer.

iQ-WEB product training for administrators to manage the proper operation of the device

within the network (installation, configuration and maintenance).

For all indirect users: appropriate training in the respective medical device, from which the

indirect access is performed.

The user interface of iQ-WEB is not genuinely designed to be barrier-free. Hence, seriously

impaired users might not be able to use iQ-WEB. But specialized input/output hardware may be

available, e.g. for users with motor-functional impairments.

1.2.4 Conditions of use

iQ-WEB is only intended for healthcare professionals and trained IT personnel in a healthcare

environment. It is intended to support both routine and emergency diagnosis procedures.

iQ-WEB as software application is split into a server component and a client component that do

not necessarily share the same location. Generally the server and client components are located

in the network of hospitals, imaging centers, radiological practices and doctors offices. But tele-

radiology scenarios are also possible.

For the location of the iQ-WEB server hardware common sense of server IT should be applied.

Meaning that a UPS, an appropriate hardware cooling system and restricted physical and digital

access as well as a suitable cabinet ensuring proper ventilation and cooling are recommended.

The client hardware can have virtually any location that is specified by the respective

manufacturer of the device as long as a network/internet connection with the server component

can be established. Typically, all user-conducted tasks are carried out in on-site offices or at

front desks. Still, remote use in off-site locations is intended as well.

In any case, it is possible that the user client is used in distractive environments. The distraction

can be caused by other persons or necessity to leave the workstation (e.g. in case of attending

to emergencies). Also environmental circumstances, such as noise, glaring display surfaces or

surroundings that are too bright, can cause distractions. Additionally run applications could

distract the user with pop-up messages or sounds or hide part of the application. Inattention

caused by distraction could lead to use errors. Therefore, the client must be utilized in suitable

locations regarding distractive ambient factors. Usage bundled with access to diagnostic reading,

viewing or reviewing may require further location restrictions, these are defined in the respective

document of the reading device.

iQ-WEBs DICOM core is designed to operate uninterruptedly over extended periods of time.

Scheduled restarts after 48 hours are nevertheless recommended. Typical interaction with the

user client is intended to be sometimes for administrative purposes. The iQ-WEB user client is

frequently used, however, if iQ-WEB is operated in combination with a DICOM viewing software

(e.g. iQ-X or iQ-4VIEW).

As software application, the device does not function on its own. It can only be used in

combination with computer hardware and software. The applications use is limited to the

computer hardware and software specified in the user documentation. The manufacturer only

provides iQ-WEB for the defined medical purpose. The software alone is considered the medical

device. Not included are any other components, hardware or software that may be needed to

ensure the functioning of the workstation (e.g. operating system, network structures and

displays). This also includes potentially needed runtime dependencies, even if they might be

provided as part of the installation package for the convenience of the user. But the effects of

such components on the medical device itself are considered and managed.

The capabilities and the performance of the iQ-WEB software can be affected by limitations and

failures caused by the hardware, the network or other software installed on the system.

Therefore, the proper operation and the maintenance of the hardware and network are

necessary. Instructions regarding hardware and software specifications as well as software

maintenance given by the manufacturer must be adhered to.

Hygiene factors, such as sterility, or other physical parameters do not apply, since iQ-WEB is a

software application. But hygiene, sterility and physical and environmental conditions may have

to be considered for the hardware on which the software is installed or that iQ-WEB is used with

(e.g. displays or keyboards). This may depend on the environment in which the application is

used (e.g. therapy or operating room). The instructions of the hardware manufacturers must be

adhered to.

1.2.5 Contraindications

iQ-WEB is not intended for:

Use with unsupported imaging data (see DICOM Conformance Statement) and data

incompliant with the DICOM standard.

Use in system environments not specified as supported by the manufacturer (see

Administration Guide).

Diagnostic reading or therapy decisions by using the JPEG/GIF data provided within the iQ-

WEB web interface. (The diagnostic viewers iQ-X and iQ-4VIEW must be used instead.)

Use as backup solution.

1.2.6 Product life-cycle

It can be assumed that the iQ-WEB 6.6.2 software application life-cycle is limited to 10 years

after the medical device has been initially placed on the market. The life-cycle of the medical

device will be reduced in case that supported hardware and/or software platforms reach end-of-

life, become unavailable or unstable. It is highly recommended to use updated versions of the

software application when they are placed on the market to ensure the state-of-the-art and

increase the compatibility of iQ-WEB within the medical network. The manufacturer does not

guarantee constant functionality and service when using the software beyond the life-cycle of

the device.

patient. It provides advanced search and filter mechanisms to browse the available studies.

These are described in section 4.3.3.2.

The EasyWEB page is the default page. It opens directly when the iQ-WEB web interface is

accessed. It is also possible to navigate directly to other pages of iQ-WEB by specifying the direct

URL before you log into the system. In the following, you will find two examples how this can

work:

1. Accessing iQ-WEB with URL http://[MYPACS]/ navigates automatically to the EasyWEB

page after user login.

2. Accessing iQ-WEB with URL http://[MYPACS]/pacs/unread.php navigates automatically to

the Unread page after user login.

The URL of every page can be seen in the web browser that you use.

EasyWEB page

The EasyWEB page is categorized as a study view. Find more on study views in section

4.3.7.4. If the number of studies exceeds the Entries per page filter setting of the EasyWEB

page then the page will be paginated. Refer to section 4.3.7.1 for more details about this

mechanism and section 4.3.3.2 for information about filter settings. By default, studies displayed

on the EasyWEB page are sorted by the date they were received in descending order.

NOTICE: A blank EasyWEB page can be forced by the administrator until the user executes the search

filter. This might help improving medical workflow and avoiding clutter in the content area.

For further details, refer to the iQ-WEB Administration Guide, section Software

administration.

NOTICE: If the license is expired or does not exist, the EasyWEB page will not be accessible.

For details about licensing, refer to the iQ-WEB Administration Guide, section Licensing.
