K040050 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the INSTATRAK SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE DATASET NAVIGATION, MODEL IT3500. Classified as System, Image Processing, Radiological within the LLZ classification (a category encompassing advanced image processing and PACS-adjacent software), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Ge Medical Systems Navigation and Visualization IN (Salt Lake City, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 24, 2004 after a review of 72 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.2050 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Incremental AI imaging tool. Moderate equivalence dependency. Overall, this clearance reflects a predicate-aligned approval typical of modern AI radiology extensions - not a novel clinical breakthrough, but a validated iteration within an established regulatory category.
