No
The summary describes a standard CT system and its components, focusing on image reconstruction and processing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The performance studies are standard evaluations for CT systems.

No
The device is described as an "x-ray imaging device" that "produces cross-sectional images of the body" and "can provide an aid to diagnosis." It focuses on image acquisition, processing, and display for diagnostic purposes, not for treating any condition.

Yes
The text states that "The device output can provide an aid to diagnosis when used by a qualified physician." This directly indicates its role in the diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a gantry, operator's workstation, patient table, and x-ray generator, indicating it is a hardware-based system with integrated software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device function: The ECLOS Computed Tomography system is an imaging device that uses X-rays to create images of the inside of the body. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "x-ray imaging device" that produces "cross-sectional images of the body."
  • Device Description: The description details components like a gantry, operator's workstation, and patient table, all consistent with an imaging system, not a laboratory diagnostic device.

The device is a medical imaging system used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic devices, not in vitro (in glass/outside the living body) diagnostic devices.

Device Description

The ECLOS is a multi-slice computed tomography system that uses x-ray data to produce cross-sectional images of the body at various angles.
The ECLOS system uses "third generation" CT technology, where the x-ray tube and detector assemblies are mounted on a frame that rotates continuously around the patient using slip ring technology. The solid-state detector assembly design collects up to 16 slices of data simultaneously. The x-ray sub-system features a high frequency generator, x-ray tube, and collimation system that produces a fan beam x-ray output. The system can operate in a helical (spiral) scan mode where the patient table moves during scanning. As the x-ray tube/detector assembly rotates around the patient, data is collected at multiple angles.
The collected data is then reconstructed into cross-sectional images by a high-speed reconstruction sub-system. The images are displayed on a computer workstation, stored, printed, and archived as required. The workstation is based on current PC technology using the Windows™ operating system.

Device Intended Use

The ECLOS Computed Tomography system is an x-ray imaging device that produces cross-sectional image of the body at different angles. The system reconstructs, processes, displays, and stores the collected images. The device output can provide an aid to diagnosis when used by a qualified physician and is intended for general purpose CT applications.

Device Description

Function

The ECLOS is a multi-slice computed tomography system that uses x-ray data to produce cross-sectional images of the body at various angles.

Scientific Concepts

The ECLOS system uses "third generation" CT technology, where the x-ray tube and detector assemblies are mounted on a frame that rotates continuously around the patient using slip ring technology. The solid-state detector assembly design collects up to 16 slices of data simultaneously. The x-ray sub-system features a high frequency generator, x-ray tube, and collimation system that produces a fan beam x-ray output. The system can operate in a helical (spiral) scan mode where the patient table moves during scanning. As the x-ray tube/detector assembly rotates around the patient, data is collected at multiple angles.

The collected data is then reconstructed into cross-sectional images by a high-speed reconstruction sub-system. The images are displayed on a computer workstation, stored, printed, and archived as required. The workstation is based on current PC technology using the Windows™ operating system.

Physical and Performance Characteristics

The ECLOS system consists of a gantry, operator's workstation, patient table, highfrequency x-ray generator, and accessories. The system performance is similar to the predicate device.

Performance Comparison

Because the ECLOS and the predicate device are both Hitachi designs, they were subjected to the same non-clinical evaluations as stipulated in 21 CFR 1020.33(c). Evaluations include: dose profile, image noise, modulation transfer function (MTF), slice thickness and sensitivity profile, slice plane location, and CT dose index.

The evaluation results of the ECLOS were comparable to the predicate device and support our conclusion that the ECLOS CT system is substantially equivalent.

Device Technological Characteristics

The ECLOS CT system acquires data in the same manner as the predicate device. Physically, the ECLOS is very similar to the predicate device. The key differences are the ability to collect 16 slices in a single scan as well as improvements in overall technology.

The ability to collect 16 slices in a single scan allows overall scan time to be decreased but does not change the essential characteristics of the finished images. The predicate is a 4 slice design, meaning that if an area of 32 mm is to be examined in 2 mm increments, the x-ray tube must scan the patient 4 times, collecting 2 mm of data for each scan, to produce 16 total images. In the ECLOS's 16 slice design, the system need only to scan 2 times, collecting 32 mm of data. The x-ray beam is collimated to allow the exposure of 16 slices simultaneously, and the data collection system collects all 16 slices. Since the data collection system processes the data in 2 mm increments, the system produces 16 images as before, but during a shorter time.

The operation of the system is virtually identical to the predicate because both systems were produced using the same essential design concepts. The ECLOS operating system software is essentially the same, as well as the user interface. The patient table design is the same, with the exception that the weight limit was increased somewhat. Gantry controls provide the same features as the predicate, but the control lavout was updated.

Despite these differences, the ECLOS CT system is technologically equivalent in concept, function, and performance to the predicate device.

Conclusions

The ECLOS CT system has been developed and validated according to applicable standards. Testing has proven that the system is safe and effective for the indicated use. Risk and hazard analysis shows that there are no new safety issues associated with this system as compared with the predicate device.
