Intended Use

This device is designed to produce cross-sectional images of a human body by reconstruction of xray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. These images have been proven to be clinically useful in the diagnosis of spine and head injuries, intracranial tumors, blood clots in the brain, eye trauma, soft tissue lesions in the extremities, gastrointestinal lesions, abdominal and pelvic malignancies, and hepatic metastases. CT is also used to evaluate intestinal obstructions, assess intra-abdominal abnormalities and to examine musculoskeletal degeneration. This device employs no intended uses that are not in cleared devices already found in the marketplace.

X-ray imaging of whole body - Computerized Tomography Including: Axial Volumetric (Helical) CT Fluoroscopy

Device Description

The Aquilion LB is a multi-slice helical CT system, consisting of a gantry, patient couch and console. The system generates up to 32 axial slices per second using a selectable slice-thickness multi-row detector.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary for the Toshiba Aquilion LB CT Scanner. It's a regulatory submission to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a performance study report with explicit acceptance criteria and device performance table. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding specific acceptance criteria and detailed study results is not present in this document.

However, based on the document's content, here's what can be inferred or stated about the device and its regulatory submission:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as pass/fail metrics. The entire submission implies that the acceptance criterion is "substantial equivalence" to the predicate device (Aquilion MS-16 CT scanner, K022050) in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness. This is achieved by demonstrating that the new device does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
  • Reported Device Performance: No specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, image resolution values) are reported in this summary. The document states that the device is "designed to produce cross-sectional images of a human body by reconstruction of xray transmission data... These images have been proven to be clinically useful..." without providing quantitative performance data for this specific device model.
Acceptance Criterion (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (Inferred from Submission)
Substantially equivalent to predicate device (Aquilion MS-16 CT scanner, K022050) regarding:The device employs the same technological characteristics as the predicate, differing only in subassembly component composition.
- Intended UseThe device employs no intended uses that are not in cleared devices already found in the marketplace.
- Technological CharacteristicsBoth systems use high-frequency x-ray controllers, detect x-ray transmission data with an x-ray detector, and reconstruct data with a computer to produce 2D/3D black and white images.
- Safety and EffectivenessDesigned and manufactured under Quality System Regulations (21 CFR § 820). Meets Federal Diagnostic Equipment Standard (21 CFR § 1020.30 and 1020.33) and conforms to applicable parts of IEC-60601 Medical Device Safety standards. No new safety or effectiveness concerns are raised.
Production of clinically useful cross-sectional images for specified indications for use (e.g., spine/head injuries, tumors, soft tissue lesions, abdominal/pelvic malignancies, etc.)The device produces images proven to be clinically useful for the listed indications. (No specific performance data provided for this device model, relying on equivalence to predicate and general CT utility).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: This document describes a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and compliance with standards, not a clinical performance study with a test set of patient data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: No test set or ground truth establishment by experts is described in this regulatory summary.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: No test set or adjudication process is described.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

  • No. This document does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study, nor does it mention AI assistance. This is a submission for a traditional CT scanner.

6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • No. This document pertains to a physical CT scanner, not an algorithm, and does not describe standalone performance testing as typically understood for AI/software devices.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: Ground truth, in the context of clinical performance studies, is not described in this regulatory submission. The "truth" being established is that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate, not clinical accuracy against a "ground truth" diagnosis.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: As this is an application for a CT scanner and not an AI/ML device, a "training set" in that context is not relevant or mentioned.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: See point 8.

Description of this Device:

The Aquilion LB is a multi-slice helical CT system, consisting of a gantry, patient couch and console. The system generates up to 32 axial slices per second using a selectable slice-thickness multi-row detector.

Summary of Intended Uses:

This device is designed to produce cross-sectional images of a human body by reconstruction of xray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. These images have been proven to be clinically useful in the diagnosis of spine and head injuries, intracranial tumors, blood clots in the brain, eye trauma, soft tissue lesions in the extremities, gastrointestinal lesions, abdominal and pelvic malignancies, and hepatic metastases. CT is also used to evaluate intestinal obstructions, assess intra-abdominal abnormalities and to examine musculoskeletal degeneration. This device employs no intended uses that are not in cleared devices already found in the marketplace.

Technological Characteristics:

This device employs the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, differing only in the specifics of subassembly component composition. Both of these systems employ the use of

{1}------------------------------------------------

high frequency x-ray controllers to generate x-radiation from the x-ray tube. The x-ray transmission data is detected by the x-ray detector and is reconstructed by the computer. This device produces two-dimensional and three-dimensional, black and white images that can be filmed or electronically stored for future review.

Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

This device is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820. All requirements of the Federal Diagnostic Equipment Standard, as outlined in 21 CFR § 1020.30 and 1020.33, will be met and reported via a supplement to the initial report for the predicate device. Additionally this system is in conformance with the applicable parts of the IEC-60601 - Medical Device Safety standards.

Substantial Equivalence:

Based upon the above considerations TAMS believes that Aquilion LB CT scanner is substantially equivalent to the predicate Aquilion MS-16 CT scanner [K022050].
