PMA.core is foremost a digital slide image management server. Whole slide images are big, and an efficient scheme must be in place to optimally serve their content. PMA.core is that efficient solution.

PMA.core can be used as a foundation for applications that allow viewing and other operations on WSIs such as annotations, data capture, and image analysis. PMA.core contains the necessary functions to retain these types of data, but by itself it does not provide end-user interfaces to create and manipulate it.

The software acts as an honest broker between the various vendor-dependent file formats on one end, and a variety of different end-user applications on the other.

Because of our history, we realized very early on that regulatory compliance in medical imaging is more than a nice to have feature. It's a requirement.

PMA.core offers audit trailing, 21 CFR part 11 compliance. Each release is also GAMP 5 validated.

PMA.core is CE-IVD certified for in vitro diagnostic use for making diagnosis and measurements on all compatible image file types.

PMA.core 3.0 complies with the provisions of EU Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices.It has been validated for diagnostic use in histopathology of scanned slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings or in situ hybridization (ISH) and meets the validation criteria of the College of American Pathologists (Evans et al, Arch Pathol Lab Med 2021) for diagnostic use of whole slide images for these applications. This document complies with the requirements of EU Directive 98/79/EC and MEDDEV 2.14/3 rev.1 on instructions for use for in vitro medical devices.

PMA.core is a high-end, robust tile server solution for digital pathology and virtual microscopy alike. Through its broad support for a wide variety of industry standards and regulatory compliance, it's most important characteristic is probably the peace of mind it brings you:

• Peace of mind that when you encounter a new scanner on the market, we already heard about it, and we already support it out of the box.
• Peace of mind that you can scale your storage approach from gigabytes to terabytes and beyond
• Peace of mind that you finally have a one-stop shop to combine slide image data with any variation of meta-data
