No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and there are no other indicators of AI/ML use in the provided text.

No
The device is described as a nuclear imaging system for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the VENTRi system is used "for clinical diagnostic purposes."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "high-performance dual-head Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography system," which is a hardware-based imaging system.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The intended use of the VENTRi system is to perform nuclear imaging procedures on the patient body to detect radioisotope tracer uptake. This is an in-vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in-vitro (outside the living body) procedure.
  • The device description confirms it's a SPECT system. SPECT systems are imaging devices that work by detecting radiation emitted from a radioactive tracer administered to the patient. This is a form of medical imaging, not laboratory testing of specimens.

Therefore, the VENTRi system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description

The VENTRi is a high-performance dual-head Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography system dedicated mainly for nuclear cardiology imaging.

Description of Change or Modification

The following modifications have been made to the VENTRi system relative to the predicate devices. Quasar ("Infinia") Nuclear Medicine System (K022960), Optima Nuclear Medicine System (K915470), and Millennium MT and Millennium MG Nuclear Medicine Systems (K962738).

    1. Gantry: Gantry aperture has been expanded. A computer-controlled radial motion during the scan enables the detectors to perform non-circular SPECT orbiting for higher resolution scans. The new system utilizes lightweight construction relative to the predicate devices.
    1. Detectors: The detectors contain PMT & electronics circuits that are similar to the Infinia (K022960) Elite™ Detector system, but with fewer PMTs. Twenty two 3" PM tubes and six 1.5" PM tubes are arranged above a Nal Crystal to create an acquisition F.O.V of 365x185mm. The front-end electronics of the Infinia (K022960) have been configured to adapt to the new number of PMT's with minor changes.
    1. Table: Table designed to reduced size and includes telescopic mode motion in horizontal axis.
    1. Acquisition Station: The Acquisition station has been adapted from the Infinia system (K022960), working in windows 2000 operating system and minor changes have been made to the SW.

Intended Use of Device

The intended use of the VENTRi system is to perform nuclear imaging procedures for detection and imaging of radioisotope tracer uptake in the patient body for clinical diagnostic purposes.

VENTRi is primarily intended for cardiac applications but also supports non-cardiac procedures of the patient's head, chest and body extremities.

Summary of Studies

Bench and images data show that the VENTRi images are similar to the images of The predicate devices.

Conclusion

In the opinion of GE Medical Systems F.I. Haifa, the VENTRi system is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the legally marketed the Quasar Nuclear Medicine System (K022960), Optima Nuclear Medicine System (K915470), and Millennium MT and Millennium MG Nuclear Medicine Systems (K962738).
