The HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station is a system designed to acquire nuclear medicine image data using a compatible gamma camera system. The HERMES Workstation is a system designed to process, display, analyze, and manage nuclear medicine and other medical imaging data transferred from other workstations or HDAQ acquisition stations.
The HERMES system consists of two components, a data acquisition station and a computer workstation. The HERMES HDAQ acquisition station and workstation are designed for use with commercially available gamma cameras. Software applications control acquisition, processing, display, analysis, and management of data and can be connected via network to other vendors' medical imaging workstations.
The provided 510(k) summary for the HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station and HERMES Workstation, Ver. 3.4 does not include information about specific acceptance criteria or an explicit study proving performance against such criteria.
Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station and HERMES Workstation, K002782) based on the following:
- Same intended use: The modified device (Ver. 3.4) has the same intended use as the original device.
- Same technological characteristics: The document states, "The technological characteristics of the modified device are the same as the original device." The modification is explicitly stated as "the addition of six additional software applications."
- Device testing: The summary mentions, "Testing of the modified device followed Nuclear Djagnostic AB's normal procedures. A test plan was developed containing a description of relevant test procedures. Test results were documented, including what was tested, expected results, who performed the test, and which resources were used (i.e., automated test tools)." However, it does not provide details about what was tested, what the expected results were, or the actual results that would constitute acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document, nor can I answer questions about sample size, ground truth, expert opinions, or comparative effectiveness studies, as these types of detailed performance studies were not a part of this 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence.
This submission is based on the premise that since the modified device's core technological characteristics and intended use are the same as the predicate, and new software applications operate independently, a detailed performance study like those for entirely new devices or those with significant changes impacting clinical performance were not required for this type of 510(k) clearance.

II. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The base product design for the HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station and HERMES Workstation, Ver. 3.4 is the same as the one for the HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station and HERMES Workstation (K002782). The HERMES system consists of two components, a data acquisition station and a computer workstation. The HERMES HDAQ acquisition station and workstation are designed for use with commercially available gamma cameras. Software applications control acquisition, processing, display, analysis, and management of data and can be connected via network to other vendors' medical imaging workstations.
INTENDED USE III.
The HERMES HDAO Acquisition Station is a system designed to acquire nuclear medicine image data using a compatible gamma camera system. The HERMES Workstation is a system designed to process, display, analyze, and manage nuclear medicine and other medical imaging data transferred from other workstations or HDAQ acquisition stations.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IV.
The technological characteristics of the modified device are the same as the original device. The proposed modification is the addition of six additional software applications as described in the 510(k) submission. These software applications operate as independent applications on the workstation and the acquisition station.

V. TESTING
Testing of the modified device followed Nuclear Djagnostic AB's normal procedures. A test plan was developed containing a description of relevant test procedures. Test results were documented, including what was tested, expected results, who performed the test, and which resources were used (i.e., automated test tools).
CONCLUSIONS VI.
In summary, Nuclear Diagnostics AB has demonstrated that the intended use for the HERMES HDAQ Acquisition Station and HERMES Workstation, Ver. 3.4 is the same as the original device. The technological characteristics have been described insufficient detail to demonstrate that they are the same as the original device. Therefore, this premarket notification has demonstrated substantial equivalence as defined and understood in the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act and its amendments.

Dear Mr. Howard:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
