K122523 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the CARESTREAM VUE PACS. 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 Carestream Health, Inc. (Rochester, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 23, 2012 after a review of 64 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.
