Intended Use
The GE Discovery XR and XA Systems are intended for head and whole body attenuation corrected Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and localization of emission activity in patient anatomy by means of integrated PET and CT images. The Discovery XR and XA are to be used by trained health care professionals for imaging the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the body for the assessment of metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions. This can assist in the evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow up of lesions, disease and organ function such as (but not limited to) cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain dysfunction. These devices can also assist in radiotherapy planning. The Discovery XR and XA can also be used as stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography (CT) diagnostic imaging systems.
Device Description
The Discovery XR and XA are integrated multi-slice Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanners. They use CT images to correct for non-uniform attenuation of the PET images and integrated CT and PET images to localize emission activity in the patient anatomy. Discovery XR and XA have capabilities for imaging all available PET tracers and CT contrast agents and can provide inherently registered anatomical and functional information via an integrated graphical user interface. Discovery XR and XA can also be used as a stand-alone head and whole body multislice CT diagnostic imaging system.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on standard PET/CT technology and image processing for attenuation correction and localization, without mentioning any AI/ML-specific features or algorithms.

No
The device is used for imaging and diagnosis, not for treating or curing diseases. Its functions include evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow-up of lesions, disease, and organ function, as well as assisting in radiotherapy planning, which are all diagnostic or planning functions.

Yes
The text explicitly states that the device can "assist in the evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow up of lesions, disease and organ function" and also that it can be used as a "stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography (CT) diagnostic imaging systems."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "integrated multi-slice Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanner," which are hardware devices.

Based on the provided information, 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 GE Discovery XR and XA Systems are imaging devices (PET/CT scanners). They work by detecting radiation emitted from radiopharmaceuticals administered to the patient in vivo (within the living body) and using X-rays to create anatomical images. They do not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes imaging the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals and using CT for anatomical localization and attenuation correction. This is an in vivo imaging process, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the GE Discovery XR and XA Systems fall under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Comparison with Predicate Device

The GE Discovery XR and XA Systems are the same as the above predicate device in that they combine a CT and PET scanner system to produce head and whole body attenuation corrected PET images and localization of emission activity in patient anatomy by means of intearated PET and CT images. They employ the same basic major components including integrate PET and CT gontris, patient table, operator console for analysis and display, and a power distribution unit. The fundamental technology of detecting photons emitted from the patient as a result of positron emitting PET tracers creating coincidence events that are detected by a scintillator material and photodetector is the same as the predicate device. The GE Discovery XR and XA differ from the Discovery VCT in the design of the PET gantry subsystem acquisition electronics, an additional reconstruction mode, specific CT models integrated with the system, and improved user interface.

Indications for Use of Device

The GE Discovery XR and XA Systems are intended for head and whole body attenuation corrected Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and localization of emission activity in patient anatomy by means of integrated PET and CT images.

The Discovery XR and XA are to be used by trained health care professionals for imaging the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the body for the assessment of metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions. This can assist in the evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow up of lesions, disease and organ function such as (but not limited to) cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain dysfunction. These devices can also assist in radiotherapy planning.

The Discovery XR and XA can also be used as stand-alone head and whole body multislice computed tomography (CT) diagnostic imaging systems.

Conclusion

In the opinion of GE Healthcare, the GE Discovery XR and XA Systems are substantially the same in design, materials, energy sources, and technology, do not introduce new safety concerns, perform as well as currently marketed devices, and are therefore substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the currently marketed Discovery VCT System.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

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 Federal Register.

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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.
