Intended Use
The Siemens PET/CT scanners are combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. The Biograph 64 and 40 are 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 64 and 40 PET/CTs provide registration and fusion of highresolution 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 64 and Biograph 40 are combined Positron Emission Tomography and X-Ray Computed Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole-body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph systems provide registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information from the two major components of each system, the Siemens LSO HiRez PET scanner and the Siemens Somatom Sensation 64 or 40 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.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard image reconstruction, registration, and fusion techniques for PET/CT imaging, which are not inherently AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms in the provided text.

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

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system allows for "single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging." Furthermore, the "Device Description" section reiterates that the system allows for "most standard stand-alone CT and PET clinical diagnostic protocols to be available as well," which implies diagnostic use.

No

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

Based on the provided text, the Siemens PET/CT scanners (Biograph 64 and 40) are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing happens outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Siemens PET/CT scanners are used to image and measure the distribution of injected radiopharmaceuticals in humans and produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data. This is done on the patient's body (in vivo).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for imaging and determining metabolic and physiologic functions within the human body, and producing images of the body.

The device operates by interacting directly with the patient's body using radiation (PET and CT) to create images and gather data about internal processes and structures. This is the opposite of how an IVD device functions.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act 's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820): and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act): 21 CFR 1000-1050.
