Intended Use
Injector: Administration of contrast and flushing media in conjunction with computed tomography (CT) scanning of the body with an optional interface to a CT scanner EDA: The Extravasation Detection Accessory is indicated for the detection of extravasations of contrast media during CT using a power injector.
Device Description
The EmpowerCT and EmpowerCTA Injector Systems have been modified for a software change only specific to the Empower Remote Control. They have been modified to add an optional calculator for glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This optional calculator is used as an additional screening tool for the use of a CT contrast injection in conjunction with a CT scan. This calculator does not affect the safety or efficacy of the device. Nor does it affect the indications for use of the system.
More Information

No
The description mentions a software change to add an optional GFR calculator, which is a standard medical calculation and does not indicate the use of AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML in the text.

No
The device administers contrast and flushing media for CT scanning and detects extravasations, which are diagnostic/supportive functions rather than therapeutic treatments.

No

The primary function of the device is for the administration of contrast and flushing media and for the detection of extravasations. While it adds an optional GFR calculator, this is explicitly stated to be an "additional screening tool" and does not affect the safety, efficacy, or indications for use of the system as an injector. It is not designed to diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a modification to an "Injector System," which is a hardware device. The software change is an optional calculator added to the remote control of this hardware system.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is the administration of contrast and flushing media during CT scanning and the detection of extravasations. These are actions performed on the patient, not on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the injector system and an optional GFR calculator. While the GFR calculator uses patient data (presumably from a blood test, which is an IVD), the calculator itself is a tool for interpreting that data in the context of the injection procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device's function is procedural (administering substances) and safety-related (detecting extravasation).

Dear Mr. Hartman:

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/3/Picture/10 description: The image shows a logo with the text "FDA Centennial" and the years "1906-2006" in a circular design. Below the logo, the text "Protecting and Promoting Public Health" is displayed in a decorative font. The overall image appears to be a commemorative or celebratory design related to the FDA's centennial.

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
