Intended Use
The Siemens Biograph True Point systems are combined X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration and fusion of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information. The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The PET subsystem images and measures the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body and utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for the fused PET and CT images. The system maintains independent functionality of the CT and PET devices, allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging. These systems are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures.
Device Description
The Biograph True Point systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph True Point systems provide registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information from the two major components of each system (PET and CT). Additional components of the system include a patient handling system and acquisition and processing workstations with associated software. Biograph True Point software is a command based program used for patient management. data manaqement, scan control, image reconstruction and image archival and evaluation. All images conform to DICOM imaging format requirements. The Biograph True Point systems which are the subject of this application are substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph mCT and Biograph True Point 64/40 systems and the Siemens Somatom CTs. Modifications include the integration of CT, PET and Patient Handling Systems to create an additional model to the Biograph True Point family of systems, and update of the system software.
More Information

No
The document describes standard PET/CT imaging technology and software for image reconstruction and management. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for image analysis, diagnosis, or any other function.

No
The device is used for diagnostic imaging, aiding in the detection, localization, diagnosis, staging, and re-staging of diseases, but it does not perform any therapeutic function itself.

Yes
The device is described as aiding in "detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders," which are all diagnostic activities. It also explicitly states "allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging."

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes combined CT and PET scanners, a patient handling system, and acquisition and processing workstations, in addition to software. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components.

No, 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. They are used outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Siemens Biograph True Point systems are imaging devices (CT and PET scanners). They work by using external energy sources (X-rays and detecting radiation from radiopharmaceuticals) to create images of the inside of the body. This is an in vivo process (within the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used to "aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function" by producing images. This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro test.

The device description and intended use clearly describe a medical imaging system used for diagnostic purposes within the patient's body, which is distinct from the definition and function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Medio:

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.

3

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 os 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 Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter.

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)(240) 276-0115
