Intended Use
SPECT: To detect or image the distribuītion of SPECT: radionuclides in the body or organ, using the following techniques: planar imaging, whole body imaging, tomographic imaging for isotopes with energies up to 588keV. CT: The CT component is intended to produce crosssectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial place taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. SPECT+CT: Perform CT scans and nuclear imaging studies within the same instrument. To obtain attenuation corrected images and to provide registration of anatomical and physiological images within the patient's anatomy.
Device Description
The Siemens Enhanced Imaging System is an improved version of the e.cam gamma camera that now incorporates a CT. The gamma camera is based on hardware and software features that generate nuclear medicine images based on the uptake of radioisotope tracers in a patient's body. The CT system is designed to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The Siemens Enhanced Imaging System is intended to allow healthcare facilities to carry out SPECT and CT studies using the same instrument. The Siemens Enhanced Imaging System has been modified to include upqraded electrical, computer, software and mechanical performance features that produce nuclear medicine images and CT-based attenuation corrected images in order to identify regions of interest in the patient's anatomy. The device includes updated display equipment, data storage devices, patient and equipment supports and component parts and accessories.

No
The description focuses on standard image reconstruction and processing techniques for SPECT and CT, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is described as an "Enhanced Imaging System" that uses SPECT and CT to "detect or image" radionuclides and produce "cross-sectional images." Its purpose is to identify regions of interest and obtain images for diagnosis, not to treat conditions.

Yes
The device is described as an "Enhanced Imaging System" that uses SPECT and CT to "detect or image the distribution of SPECT: radionuclides in the body or organ" and "produce cross-sectional images of the body." The purpose of these images, especially with "attenuation corrected images and to provide registration of anatomical and physiological images within the patient's anatomy," is to identify regions of interest. This imaging and information gathering is inherently for diagnostic purposes, allowing healthcare professionals to assess physiological and anatomical conditions to determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components such as a gamma camera, CT system, electrical components, mechanical features, display equipment, data storage devices, patient and equipment supports, and component parts and accessories.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an imaging system (SPECT and CT) used to detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ and produce cross-sectional images of the body. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging procedure, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples taken from the patient. The device directly interacts with the patient's body to acquire images.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging equipment used for in vivo diagnosis, not in vitro diagnostics.
