Intended Use
The Siemens PET/CT scanners are combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. The biograph 6 is intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to: - Image and measure the distribution of injected positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body; and - Produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data from either the same axial plan taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The biograph 6 PET/CT provides registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information. The PET component utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for fused PET and CT images. Additionally, the system maintains independent functionality of the PET and CT devices, allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging.
Device Description
The biograph 6 is a combined Positron Emission Tomography and X-Ray Computed Tomography system. This system is designed for whole-body examinations. The biograph 6 provides oncology, neurology and cardiology information and anatomic information registration and fusion. The system is comprised of two components, the Siemens LSO HiRez PET scanner and the Siemens Somatom Emotion 6 CT. The combined PET/CT scanner is intended for use as a clinical, whole-body machine with high-end spiral CT and PET performance. The CT component provides attenuation correction for PET studies as well as precise anatomical reference through fused PET and CT images. In addition, the PET / CT system maintains independent functionality of the PET and CT scanning systems, allowing for most standard stand-alone CT and PET clinical diagnostic protocols to be available as well. The biograph 6 system which is the subject of this application is substantially equivalent to the commercially available biograph 6 (LSO PET/CT HiRez series scanner approved under the former CTI PET Systems Inc. name). The change incorporated in this application consists of a modification made to the detector mechanical configuration.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard PET/CT imaging technology and image reconstruction/fusion, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or other functions.

No
The device is used for imaging and diagnostic purposes (determining metabolic and physiologic functions, producing cross-sectional images), not for treating conditions.

Yes
The device is described as allowing for "single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging," and its intended use includes "determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body." These functions directly support disease diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a combined Positron Emission Tomography and X-Ray Computed Tomography system, which are hardware components. While it involves software for image reconstruction and fusion, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • Device Function: The Siemens PET/CT scanner described here is an imaging device. It works by detecting and measuring the distribution of injected radiopharmaceuticals within the human body and producing cross-sectional images using X-ray transmission data. This is an in vivo process (within the living body), not an in vitro process (outside the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states imaging and measuring the distribution of injected substances in humans and producing images of the body.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.
