Intended Use
The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) integrated with an attenuation device consisting of an x-ray generator. The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is intended for use in the generation of cardiac studies, including planar and SPBCT studies, in nuclear medicine applications. Cardius 3 X-ACT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT Images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with x-ray transmission data that may also be corrected for scatter.
Device Description
The Cardius® 3 X-ACT Imaging system is a gamma camera for the acquisition and processing of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as well as correcting attenuation artifacts associated with these Emission studies. The device consists of an x-ray generator integrated with the previously cleared Cardius 3 XPO triple head SPECT system to provide attenuation correction functionality. The attenuation correction functionality will be included with the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system, or offered as an accessory for previously purchased Cardius 3 XPO systems that are configured to accept the attenuation correction functionality. The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging system is designed to provide extended imaging functionality relative to the current Cardius XPO series imagers. A typical patient study comprises an emission (SPECT) study followed by a transmission study. The SPECT study is acquired using the similar system hardware and software technology as a Cardius-3 XPO imaging system. For the transmission study, the low dose x-ray generator is used to produce an attenuation map that is used for attenuation correction (AC) of the emission data. An iterative reconstruction technique then uses the attenuation map and the SPECT data as input, and the AC and non-AC reconstructed volumes are saved in the database for physician review. The attenuation correction data provided is additional information that may be reviewed by the interpreter. The original SPECT data remains available to the interpreter.

No
The summary describes standard image processing techniques (attenuation correction, iterative reconstruction) and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is an imaging system designed to acquire and process SPECT images for diagnostic purposes, not to treat a disease or condition.

Yes

This device is a gamma camera for SPECT imaging, which is a medical imaging technique used to diagnose various conditions, particularly cardiac studies. It generates images and data that are reviewed by physicians to make diagnostic decisions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) integrated with an attenuation device consisting of an x-ray generator," and that it "consists of an x-ray generator integrated with the previously cleared Cardius 3 XPO triple head SPECT system." This indicates significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided text, 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 Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is a medical imaging device that uses gamma rays and x-rays to create images of the heart. It works by detecting radiation emitted from a radioactive tracer administered to the patient.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient. It directly images the patient's body.

Therefore, the Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

F. Intended Use

The intended use is the same as the predicate devices. The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) integrated with an attenuation device consisting of an x-ray generator. Cardius 3 X-ACT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT Images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with x-ray transmission data that may also be corrected for scatter.

ে Technology

The Philips Medical Systems BrightView VCT imaging system (K080927) and Digirad's Cardius 3 XPO (K070542 and K082368) predicate devices have similar technology (gamma camera for SPECT imaging and x-ray based attenuation correction), and the same intended use as the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system. In Cardius 3 X-ACT, Digirad's internally developed proprietary algorithms are implemented using software technology. A low-dose xray generator is used for attenuation correction. Digirad's solid state detectors are used to acquire both emission (SPECT) and transmission scans. The transmission and emission scans share the same imaging plane. The patient sits upright in a chair that rotates to acquire both emission and transmission scans.

H. Testing

Verification and Validation tests were conducted to demonstrate the Cardius 3 X-ACT functioned as per its specifications. Bench testing was done per guidelines for radiation measurements. All tests passed with the actual results substantially matching the expected results. The testing shows Cardius 3 X-ACT meets the design specifications, which are similar to the predicate device functional specifications. Digirad internal testing and clinical images obtained with the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system have demonstrated equivalent efficacy to the predicate devices, and did not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness.

I. Conclusion

Testing results demonstrate that the Cardius 3 XPO Imaging System meets the specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, based on comparisons of intended use and technology, and overall system performance.
