Intended Use
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.
Device Description
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.
More Information

No
The document describes standard image acquisition, processing, display, analysis, and management software for nuclear medicine images. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms or concepts in the intended use, device description, or testing sections. The predicate device is also the same system, suggesting no significant technological change related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a system designed to acquire and process nuclear medicine image data, not to directly treat or diagnose a patient. Therapeutic devices are typically used in the treatment of a disease or condition.

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as an "Acquisition Station" and "Workstation" designed to "acquire nuclear medicine image data" and "process, display, analyze, and manage nuclear medicine and other medical imaging data." This indicates its role in obtaining and interpreting medical images, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of two components, a data acquisition station and a computer workstation, and mentions the acquisition station is designed for use with commercially available gamma cameras, indicating hardware components are involved.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is designed to acquire, process, display, analyze, and manage nuclear medicine image data. This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient (which is the core of IVD).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by mentioning its use with gamma cameras, which are used for in-vivo imaging.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological samples, which are characteristic of IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device deals with imaging data obtained from the patient's body directly.

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.
