Intended Use
The CapIMAGE Gamma Camera System is intended to produce planar images depicting the anatomical distributions of single photon emitting radioisotopes in the human body within the energy range of 59kev to 167kev. The system provides software applications for processing, analyzing, and displaying medical images for interpretation by medical personnel. The CapIMAGE Gamma Camera System is intended for examination (and diagnosis) of disorders and diseases in the thyroid gland, the heart and other small organs. The device is not interpretative. Data from the device are interpreted by medical personnel who, based on these, make the clinical diagnosis.
Device Description
The CapIMAGE is a mobile Small Field of View (SFOV) gamma camera system utilizing a scintillation detector to detect gamma rays. The CapIMAGE is designed to be manually transported and deployed for scanning of patients in laying, sitting or standing positions. The system can operate powered from mains or from the internal battery source for at least 60 min.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard image processing and analysis software for a gamma camera, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts. The device is explicitly stated as "not interpretative," relying on medical personnel for diagnosis.

No.
The device is used for imaging and diagnosis, not for treating diseases or conditions.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The CapIMAGE Gamma Camera System is intended for examination (and diagnosis) of disorders and diseases in the thyroid gland, the heart and other small organs." This indicates its role in identifying and characterizing medical conditions, which is the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "mobile Small Field of View (SFOV) gamma camera system utilizing a scintillation detector to detect gamma rays," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This examination happens outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • CapIMAGE Function: The CapIMAGE Gamma Camera System works by detecting gamma rays emitted from radioisotopes within the human body. It produces images of the anatomical distribution of these radioisotopes. This is an in vivo process, meaning it happens within the living body.

The device is a medical imaging system used for in vivo diagnostic imaging, not for analyzing samples in vitro.

Device Description

The CapIMAGE is a mobile Small Field of View (SFOV) gamma camera system utilizing a scintillation detector to detect gamma rays. The CapIMAGE is designed to be manually transported and deployed for scanning of patients in laying, sitting or standing positions. The system can operate powered from mains or from the internal battery source for at least 60 min.

Analog signals from the photo multiplier tubes are summed into position and energy signals and sent to the camera console digitization and correction. The corrected data are hereafter send to a laptop PC located on top of the camera console, acting as a combined control and user interface to the system. Detector positioning is done using the persistence display mode on the PC, showing radioactive emission from the patient. The vertical detector positioning is motorised, all other positioning is done manually, using controls on the detector, including acquisition start and stop. The PC user interface (UI) enables the user to enter image acquisition parameters and to start and stop image acquisition. Following acquisition, images can be reviewed on the PC, processed and/or transferred to a peripheral device using DICOM.
