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: - o 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 o XRay transmission data from either the same axial plane 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 TruePoint scanners are combined Positron Emission Tomography and X-Ray Computed Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole-body oncology, neurology, and cardiology examinations. They provide registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information from the two major components of each system, the Siemens LSO PET scanner and the Siemens Somatom Emotion 6 CT. The combined PET/CT scanner is intended for use as a clinical, whole-body oncology machine with high-end spiral CT and PET performance. The CT component provides fast 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 (K060060) and the commercially available Biograph 64 and Biograph 40 (K060631). The notable changes incorporated in this application consist of the addition of a water-cooled gantry option and an optional computer.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard PET/CT imaging technology and image reconstruction/fusion techniques, with no mention of AI or ML. The changes noted are hardware-related (water-cooled gantry, optional computer).

No
The device is described as an imaging and diagnostic tool, not one that provides therapy or treatment. Its purpose is to image and measure metabolic and physiologic functions and produce cross-sectional images for diagnostic imaging.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system allows for "single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging," and the "Device Description" section reiterates this by stating it allows for "most standard stand-alone CT and PET clinical diagnostic protocols."

No

The device description clearly states it is a combined PET/CT scanner, which are hardware devices. While it includes computer reconstruction and image processing, these are functions of the hardware system, not a standalone software device.

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 description clearly states that the Siemens PET/CT scanners are used to image and measure the distribution of injected radiopharmaceuticals in humans and to produce cross-sectional images of the body using X-Ray transmission data. This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.
  • 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 is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Wetherbee:

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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo or emblem. The text "1906-2006" is at the top of the logo. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the logo in a bold, sans-serif font. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. Three stars are at the bottom of the logo.

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
