Intended Use
The Mini Gamma Camera MGC-500 is indicated for use in imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the human body using planer imaging techniques. The MGC-500 may also be used intraoperatively if a protective sheath is used.
Device Description
The Mini Gamma Camera, MGC500, is a nuclear medical imager (commonly known as a scintillation or gamma camera) that is smaller, lighter and more portable than the existing gamma cameras. The MGC500 is intended for use in nuclear medicine procedures, including intraoperative procedures. To collect such information, it extracorporeally detects and visualizes the gamma ray emitted from an administered radiopharmaceutical. While previous gamma cameras have consisted of a sodium iodide scintillating crystal and photomultiplier tube (PMT), the design of the MGC-500 incorporates a solid-state CdTe semiconductor detector. This allows the device to be smaller, lighter, and more portable.

No
The description focuses on hardware design (CdTe semiconductor detector) and standard image processing algorithms, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The MGC-500 is indicated for imaging and visualizing the distribution of radionuclides; it does not treat or cure any condition.

Yes
The device is a gamma camera, which is used in nuclear medicine to create images of the distribution of radionuclides in the human body. This imaging is used to diagnose various medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a nuclear medical imager incorporating a solid-state CdTe semiconductor detector, which is a hardware component for detecting gamma rays. While it mentions image processing software, the core function relies on physical detection hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Mini Gamma Camera MGC-500 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the human body using planer imaging techniques." This describes an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging procedure, not an in vitro (outside the living body) test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by explaining it "extracorporeally detects and visualizes the gamma ray emitted from an administered radiopharmaceutical." This is the core function of a nuclear medicine imaging device used on a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on these samples outside the body, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Mini Gamma Camera MGC-500 is a medical imaging device used for in vivo nuclear medicine procedures.

LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICE A.

The MGC-500 is substantially equivalent to the Digirad 2020 Notebook Imager, which was cleared by FDA on May 28, 1997 as K961104. For characteristic of intraoperative use, the MGC-500 is also the substantially equivalent to the Neoprobe 1500/2000 radioisotope detector (K971320).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION B.

The Mini Gamma Camera, MGC500, is a nuclear medical imager (commonly known as a scintillation or gamma camera) that is smaller, lighter and more portable than the existing gamma cameras. The MGC500 is intended for use in nuclear medicine procedures, including intraoperative procedures. To collect such information, it extracorporeally detects and visualizes the gamma ray emitted from an administered radiopharmaceutical. While previous gamma cameras have consisted of a sodium iodide scintillating crystal and photomultiplier tube (PMT), the design of the MGC-500 incorporates a solid-state CdTe semiconductor detector. This allows the device to be smaller, lighter, and more portable.

C. INTENDED USE

The Mini Gamma Camera MGC-500 is indicated for use in imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the human body using planer imaging The MGC-500 may also be used intraoperatively if a techniques. protective sheath is used.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D.

The MGC-500 is a medical device, and it has the same indications for use The MOO on a mount as the legally marketed predicate devices. The and targer population as the onomical characteristics as the predicate MGC-300 Thas the Same toonnistics of the device are sufficiently precise that performance data are not required, but for others, performance data that performance auta are no. The performance data and descriptions in is provided in this oubmison will demonstrate that the MGC-500 is substantially equivalent1 to the predicate devices.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS E.

The proposed and predicate devices both use a detector head that converts The proposed and prodicate al signals. The predicate device uses a photor chergy into bloosonvert gamma photon energy into visible light scirithlauing oct oryotar to our of the sensed by photo diodes and converted into electrical signals. The proposed Acrorad device converts gamma photons directly into electrical signals through use of a CdTe detector.

The electrical signals generated by the incoming gamma photons are The Clection of Signale generations. Discriminators are used in hardware proportional to onorg proposed and predicate devices to limit acceptable of soltware in both proposed of the radiopharmaceutical being used for imaging. The location of a gamma detection event is determined used for imaging. The channel of the detector, and standard image by the fissal algorithms are used to present the image to the user.

TESTING F.

The Mini Gamma Camera MGC-500 was tested to the specifications of the The Minn Surmance Standard for scintillation cameras. It was also tested to the requirements of the IEC-60601-1 for electrical safety.

CONCLUSIONS G.

This pre-market notification has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as rms pro mainer stood in Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(i)(1) of the Federal delined and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Dear Dr. Athey:

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.
