The Multi-SPECT is intended for use as an accessory to an dual headed nuclear medicine gamma camera (for example - the ADAC Vertex Dual Headed Nuclear Medicine Camera). It is to be used to perform static, dynamic and/or gated Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography clinical nuclear medicine images of the heart. It is indicated for use to produce images showing the location and distribution of radioisotopes in the human body for interpretation by a physician.
The product consists of two multi-pinhole collimators attached to the two heads of a dual headed gamma camera (eg ADAC (now Philips) Vertex Gamma Camera). The collimators are designed to perform myocardial perfusion studies. Each collimator consists of a 2 x 3 array of pinholes. Each pinhole is focused on the patient's heart, such that the radioisotope distribution in the heart is seen from 18 different view points. This multiplicity of views allows for tomographic reconstruction of the radioisotope distribution in the heart. Acquisition is done in list-mode, retaining position, energy and patient physiological data. The raw listmode data is framed and corrected for scatter, then reconstructed into a three dimensional matrix. It can then be analyzed by previously cleared software packages (eg Emory Cardiac Toolbox™ - K040141).
Here's a detailed breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided 510(k) summary:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical specifications and NEMA test results, rather than explicitly stating pre-defined "acceptance criteria" in a go/no-go fashion. However, the comparisons imply that the Multi-SPECT's performance should be at least comparable to and ideally better than the predicate devices, particularly in sensitivity and resolution.
| Specification (Acceptance Criteria Implied) | Predicate 1: Engineering Dynamics Multiple Pinhole Tomographic Collimator (K790499; K791055) | Predicate 2: ADAC Vertex Gamma Camera (LEHR collimator) (K922080) | Multi-SPECT (Reported Device Performance) | Conclusion for Acceptance Implied |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution (Point Source) | 10.4 mm | 11.0 mm | 8.9 mm | Improved (Met/Exceeded) |
| Sensitivity (Point Source) | 262 kcnts/min/mci | 264 kcnts/min/mci | 1118 knts/min/mci | Significantly Improved (Met/Exceeded) |
| NEMA 2.4 Resolution w/o scatter | Not available | 10.0 mm | 10.6 mm | Comparable (Met) |
| NEMA 2.6 Reconstruction resolution w/o scatter | Not available | 11.0 mm | 11.0 mm | Comparable (Met) |
| NEMA 3.7 Resolution with scatter | Not available | 9.2 mm | 10.4 mm | Comparable (Met) |
| NEMA 3.11 Resolution with scatter | Not available | 15.4 mm | 14.3 mm | Improved (Met/Exceeded) |
| NEMA 3.12 System Volume Sensitivity (normalized) | Not available | 1 | 4.7 | Significantly Improved (Met/Exceeded) |
| Mechanical System | Detectors move around patient, needs safety mechanisms | Detectors move around patient, needs safety mechanisms | Detectors stationary | Improved Safety (Met/Exceeded) |
| Sampling Field of View | Not available | 180° / 0° | 141° / 40° | Different configuration (Met) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Quantitative Performance: The "test set" for the quantitative performance metrics (resolution and sensitivity) consisted of NEMA NU 1 phantom(s) or equivalent, following NEMA guidelines. This is a standardized phantom, not a patient-specific dataset.
- Clinical Images: "A set of three clinical images was also examined." The document does not specify the origin (country, retrospective/prospective) of these three clinical images. It's likely these were illustrative cases rather than a statistically powered clinical trial.
- Data Provenance: Phantom data is laboratory-generated. The provenance of the three clinical images is not detailed.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Quantitative Performance: For the NEMA phantom tests, the "ground truth" is inherent in the phantom's design and known properties, measured directly by the testing equipment. No human experts are explicitly mentioned for establishing this ground truth.
- Clinical Images: The document mentions "A set of three clinical images was also examined." However, it does not state how the ground truth for these images was established, nor how many experts were involved or their qualifications. Given the small number, these were likely for visual inspection rather than a formal validation study with expert ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Quantitative Performance: No adjudication method is specified for the NEMA phantom tests, as these are objective measurements.
- Clinical Images: No adjudication method is described for the "set of three clinical images."
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through technical specifications and phantom studies, and a very limited review of three clinical images. There is no mention of human readers evaluating images with and without AI assistance to quantify improvement.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- Yes, in essence, standalone performance was assessed. The NEMA phantom tests and direct measurements of resolution and sensitivity are "standalone" in the sense that they evaluate the physical imaging system (collimator + gamma camera + reconstruction software) without human interpretation as the primary endpoint. The "algorithm" here refers to the entire imaging and reconstruction pipeline.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Quantitative Performance: The ground truth for the quantitative NEMA phantom tests is the known physical properties of the phantom and the direct measurements derived from it.
- Clinical Images: The type of ground truth for the "set of three clinical images" is not specified.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable / Not Provided. This device is a hardware accessory (collimator) and associated reconstruction software algorithms. The document does not describe the use of machine learning or deep learning models that would typically require a training set of images with established ground truth. The reconstruction software uses "underlying mathematical algorithms" which are likely model-based or analytical, not learned from a large dataset in the way modern AI is trained.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not Applicable / Not Provided. As per point 8, there's no indication of a training set or a machine learning approach in the sense that would require image data with established ground truth for model training. The algorithms are based on established mathematical principles for SPECT reconstruction that incorporate pinhole geometry.

C: Predicate Device(s):
Multiple Pinhole Tomographic Collimator Engineering Dynamics Corp. (K790499); ADAC Tomography Option (K791055)
This collimator was used as an add on accessory to single headed gamma cameras such as the Picker Dynacamera 4/15, Ohio Sigma 410, or the Siemens LFOV.
Vertex Dual Headed Gamma Camera
ADAC Laboratories (K922080)
The detectors from this camera are used with the new device. Cardiac images from this camera are of typical quality for current SPECT cameras.
AutoSPECT
ADAC Laboratories (K992317)
This software package reconstructs the views acquired by a SPECT system into a 3 dimensional array for data analysis and display.
- D: Device Description:
The product consists of two multi-pinhole collimators attached to the two heads of a dual headed gamma camera (eg ADAC (now Philips) Vertex Gamma Camera). The collimators are designed to perform myocardial perfusion studies. Each collimator consists of a 2 x 3 array of pinholes.

Each pinhole is focused on the patient's heart, such that the radioisotope distribution in the heart is seen from 18 different view points. This multiplicity of views allows for tomographic reconstruction of the radioisotope distribution in the heart. Acquisition is done in list-mode, retaining position, energy and patient physiological data. The raw listmode data is framed and corrected for scatter, then reconstructed into a three dimensional matrix. It can then be analyzed by previously cleared software packages (eg Emory Cardiac Toolbox™ - K040141).
The collimators can be stored in the standard collimator storage device shipped with the camera and exchanged either manually or semiautomatically depending upon the configuration of the original dual headed gamma camera. When changing collimators, the operator needs to activate the pre-programmed exchange motion program. The program prompts the operator to proceed through the steps necessary for the exchange, and provides cautionary warnings to the operator during critical steps as a safety precaution. This is identical to changing the collimators that come standard on dual headed gamma cameras such as the Vertex.
When acquiring data, there is no motion of the camera. The camera heads can only be moved by the operator manually overriding the acquisition program.
-
E: Intended Use:
The Multi-SPECT is intended for use as an accessory to a dual headed nuclear medicine camera such as the ADAC Vertex Dual Headed Nuclear Medicine Camera. It is to be used to perform static, dynamic and/or gated Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography clinical nuclear medicine images of the heart. It is indicated for use to produce images showing the location and distribution of radioisotopes in the human body for interpretation by a physician. -
F-Comparison to Predicate Device(s): The Multi-SPECT has the same intended use, target population, and clinical setting as other SPECT cameras including the predicate devices.
It uses the same technology as the predicate device Engineering Dynamics Multiple Pinhole Tomographic Collimator and the ADAC Laboratories Tomography Option, but adds an additional collimator and more pinholes, resulting in more views and an improved sampling geometry of the heart. Due to the additional views, the sensitivity is greater and the resolution of the reconstructed images is both higher and more uniform.
{2}------------------------------------------------
K073021
Page 3 of 6
It uses predicate device ADAC Laboratories Vertex Camera for the data acquisition. Replacing the parallel hole collimator on the Vertex Camera with the Multi-SPECT pinhole collimator results in images with comparable resolution but with increased sensitivity.
Reconstruction software uses the same underlying mathematical algorithms as the predicate AutoSPECT package, but incorporates the pinhole geometry. The overall result is that the Multi-SPECT has improved sensitivity and resolution over the Engineering Dynamics Pinhole Tomographic Collimator and ADAC Laboratories Tomography Option; and has improved sensitivity with equivalent resolution to rotational SPECT cameras such as the ADAC Vertex Camera.
Since motion of the detectors during acquisition is removed, the Multi-SPECT raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness; in fact with the motion disabled, safety is increased.

Data was acquired at the focal distance for the pinhole collimators (203 mm for the Multi-SPECT and 130 mm for the 7 pinhole predicate device). Resolution and sensitivity vary as a function of distance from the collimator face. Data for the predicate Vertex with a LEHR collimator was also collected at 203 mm from the collimator face. Source was a Tc-99m point source.

Comparison Table of Multi-SPECT with Predicate Devices
Notes:
All measurements made with Tc-99m.
All resolution measurements are average FWHM (averaged in the 3 principal directions).
The Engineering Dynamics predicate (K790499) and ADAC Laboratories Tomography Option (K791055) were not listed in the above table. These predicates are no longer sold and the NEMA tests were not able to be run.
1 As should be discernable from the above tables, the system resolution for the Multi-SPECT collimator is highly dependent on the distance from the pinhole, due to the magnification properties of pinhole imaging. The reconstructed resolution numbers are more indicative of the system capabilities. It should also be noted
{5}------------------------------------------------
K073021

that the Multi-SPECT resolution and sensitivity numbers can be changed by changing the pinhole diameter. The actual diameter was chosen to approximate the resolution of the predicate device while maintaining a sensitivity advantage.
2 The top value represents the viewing angle in the radial direction while the bottom value represents viewing angle in the caudal or cephalic directions. The Vertex with LEHR collimator is capable of a full 360° acquisition, but in day-today practice the majority of cardiology practices use only 180° acquisition.
