The document describes a standard PET/CT imaging system and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
No
The device is used for imaging and diagnosis, but it does not provide treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "can assist in the evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow up of lesions, disease and organ function." Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions it can be used "as a stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography diagnostic imaging system." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "integrated multi-slice Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanner," which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the GE Discovery LS System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
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, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Discovery LS Function: The Discovery LS System is an imaging device that uses PET and CT technology to visualize the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals within the patient's body. It directly images the patient, not specimens taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "head and whole body attenuation corrected Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and localization of emission activity in patient anatomy." This involves imaging the living patient.
Therefore, the GE Discovery LS System falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The GE Discovery LS System is intended for head and whole body attenuation corrected Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and localization of emission activity in patient anatomy by means of integrated PET and CT images. The Discovery LS is to be used by trained health care professionals for imaging the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the body for the assessment of metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions. This can assist in the evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow up of lesions, disease and organ function such as (but not limited to) cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain dysfunction. This device can also assist in radiotherapy planning. The Discovery LS can also be used as a stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography (CT) diagnostic imaging system.

Device Description
The Discovery LS is an integrated multi-slice Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanner. In addition to providing CT and PET stand-alone capabilities, it uses the CT images to correct for non-uniform attenuation of the PET images and it uses integrated CT and PET images to localize emission activity in the patient anatomy. Discovery LS has capabilities for imaging all available PET tracers and CT contrast agents and can provide inherently registered anatomical and functional information via an integrated user interface. It can also be used as a stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography diagnostic imaging system. The Discovery LS CT-PET System is the same system as described in 510(k) K023988 except that the intended use has been revised for better definition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Discovery LS bench and clinical data demonstrate the ability of Discovery LS to image injected radiopharmaceuticals for the assessment of metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions of the body and the ability of Discovery LS to use integrated CT and PET images to localize metabolic activity and FDG uptake in the patient anatomy. Numerous published medical and scientific articles document the use of PET and PET-CT in evaluation of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain dysfunction.

Dear Mr. Duersteler:
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 such 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050
