Intended Use
The AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is intended to deliver an aerosol of diagnostic nuclear medicine to the lung for imaging. The device is intended for patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear lung ventilation imaging in a hospital or settings where nuclear medicine clinical testing is performed.
Device Description
The AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System generates and administers a fine droplet aerosol to the breathing areas of the lungs for diagnostic imaging. It has an injection site, a nebulizer, aerosol conduit, aerosol trapping and is manufactured of materials and components used in previously cleared 510(k) devices.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for delivering a radioaerosol for lung imaging, focusing on the physical components and function of the nebulizer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making or analysis within the device description or performance studies.

No
The device is intended for diagnostic imaging of the lung, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is described as delivering a diagnostic nuclear medicine and is intended for patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear lung ventilation imaging. This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like an injection site, nebulizer, aerosol conduit, and aerosol trapping, indicating it is a hardware device that delivers a substance.

Based on the provided information, the AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver an aerosol of diagnostic nuclear medicine to the lung for imaging." This describes a device used in vivo (within the living body) to facilitate a diagnostic imaging procedure.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on generating and administering an aerosol to the lungs for imaging. This is an in vivo delivery system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to obtain information about a patient's health. The AeroSol™ system does not process or analyze biological specimens.

Therefore, the AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is a device used in vivo for diagnostic imaging, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Bono:

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 (PMA), 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 Eederal Register.
