Intended Use
Advantage 4D is a non-invasive software / hardware option that can be used to provide and display CT images of all phases of a breathing cycle for the evaluation of respiration-induced motion. The software will allow the user to retrospectively define the best respiratory phase from an image quality standpoint, and group images by the phase selected. Advantage 4D can also be used for target or treatment volume (DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets) verification
Device Description
Advantage 4D enables a patient to be scanned on a CT with normal breathing. CT data are acquired and images are reconstructed without image artifacts due to organ and tissue motion. CT Images are synchronized with respiratory signal coming from external device and organ/tissue motion within the CT data reflecting both the organ motions and the chest motion. The user can then visually determine the optimum phase to perform volume imaging and post processing [quantification, contouring, segmentation. The respiratory phase identification is also provided. In addition. Advantage 4D has the capability to display DICOM Radiation Therapy Structure Sets and can be used for target or treatment volume verification.
More Information

No
The description focuses on image synchronization with respiratory signals and user-driven phase selection, with no mention of AI/ML terms or processes.

No
The device is used for image acquisition and processing for evaluation of respiration-induced motion and target verification, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

No

The device is described as a software/hardware option that provides and displays CT images for evaluating respiration-induced motion and verifying target/treatment volumes. It does not perform a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "software / hardware option" and mentions synchronizing CT images with a "respiratory signal coming from external device," indicating a hardware component is involved.

Based on the provided information, the Advantage 4D device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Advantage 4D's Function: The description clearly states that Advantage 4D is a software/hardware option used with CT imaging. Its purpose is to process and display CT images of a patient's internal anatomy during breathing. It helps in evaluating respiration-induced motion, selecting optimal image phases, and verifying treatment volumes.
  • No Specimen Handling: There is no mention of collecting, preparing, or examining any specimens from the human body. The device works directly with imaging data acquired from the patient.

Therefore, Advantage 4D falls under the category of medical imaging software/hardware, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Comparison with Predicate:

This device will use a similar technology to that already used by GE Medical Systems in our cleared devices Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation (K022919) and Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780). Fundamentally, this device will use the same phase selection process that is used in Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation to group images based on respiratory phase. In addition, Advantage 4D will have the ability to display reformat images through a Cine Phase Movie, and to overlay RTSS (Radiotherapy Structure Sets) contours over multiphase CT slices. These additional features are inherited from the viewer of Advantage Sim 6.0 (K021780). A more detailed comparison is included in Attachment C of this submission.

Adverse Effects on Health :

The potential hazards are identified in a risk management summary (hazard analysis) and are controlled by:

  • · Software Development, Validation and Verification Process to ensure performance to specifications, Federal Regulations and user requirements.
  • · Adherence to industry and international standards.

Conclusions:

Advantage 4D Option does not result in any new potential safety risks and performs as well as devices currently on the market. GE considers features and technology of the Advantage 4D Option to be equivalent to those of Smart Breath Respiratory Compensation []K022919 and Advantage Sim 6.0 [K021780.
