The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on hardware and established algorithms from predicate devices.
No.
This device is used to measure radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive sources, not to treat patients.
No
The device is a dose calibrator used to measure radioactive materials. Its intended use is to quantify radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive sources, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple detector system" which "may include up to eight sealed pressurized re-entrant well chambers, plus a high energy beta counter, and a well counter." This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the measurement of radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive brachytherapy sources. These are used in vivo (within the body) for diagnostic imaging or therapeutic treatment, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a dose calibrator and counter for radioactive materials. While it mentions a well counter for "laboratory test applications," the primary function and the context of measuring radiopharmaceuticals and brachytherapy sources point away from typical IVD use.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
Therefore, the CRC 15Ultra is a device used in nuclear medicine and brachytherapy for measuring radioactive sources, which are administered to or placed within a patient, making it an in vivo related device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The CRC 15Ultra multiple chamber dose calibrator, which includes optional beta counter and well counter, is intended to be used by qualified nuclear medicine technologists to measure a wide range radiopharmaceuticals, including high mergy beta and gamma emitters. It is also designed for use by trained medical physicists to measure the output of most radioactive brachytherapy sources, including HDR, LDR and IVBT sources. All brachytherapy sources must be measured in the appropriate source holder. The well counter is designed for measurement of low activity radioactive sources or solutions, including laboratory test applications. This device is used in numerous research applications for measurement of radioactive materials.

Device Description
The Capintec CRC 15Ultra is a multiple detector system, which may include up to eight sealed pressurized re-entrant well chambers, plus a high energy beta counter, and a well counter. The CRC 15Ultra combines the features of several well established Capintec models: CRC 35R, CRC 15R, Beta Counter, and Caprac R Counter into one unit with flexible configurations which are field upgradeable. The 15Ultra incorporates enhanced electronic circuitry and faster microprocessor capabilities, which extends it capability to network eight ionization chambers, as did the CRC 35R. However, the CRC 15Ultra can also add the detector assembly from the Beta C Counter, or the detector assembly from the Caprac R Well Counter, to the same universal readout. The basic design concepts, functionality, calculations, algorithms, and response are the same. The 15Ultra is a far more cost effective solution to a user who requires multiple chambers and detectors when compared to the cost of purchasing three separate units.

RE: Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information for the Capintec CRC 15Ultra.
The Capintec CRC 15Ultra is a multiple detector system, which may include up to eight sealed pressurized re-entrant well chambers, plus a high energy beta counter, and a well counter. The CRC 15Ultra combines the features of several well established Capintec models: CRC 35R, CRC 15R, Beta Counter, and Caprac R Counter into one unit with flexible configurations which are field upgradeable. The 15Ultra incorporates enhanced electronic circuitry and faster microprocessor capabilities, which extends it capability to network eight ionization chambers, as did the CRC 35R. However, the CRC 15Ultra can also add the detector assembly from the Beta C Counter, or the detector assembly from the Caprac R Well Counter, to the same universal readout. The basic design concepts, functionality, calculations, algorithms, and response are the same. The 15Ultra is a far more cost effective solution to a user who requires multiple chambers and detectors when compared to the cost of purchasing three separate units.
The predicate devices, upon which the CRC15Ultra is based, have a long history of safe and effective use in the field. The unit is intended for use by trained nuclear medicine technologists, nuclear medicine physicians, or medical phyicists in clinical applications.
The CRC 15Ultra has also been tested and approved to the following safety standards for laboratory equipment:
IEC 61010-1 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use-Part 1 General Requirements
IEC 61010-2-101 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control. and laboratory use-Part 2 Particular Requirement for In Vitro Diagnostic Equipment
