The PET scanner is intended to be used for whole body, multi-slice, Positron Emission Tomography diagnostic imaging.
Device Description
The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners from Neusoft Positron Medical Systems Corporation image the distribution of positron-emitting radionuclides in the human body. These software-controlled medical devices use positron emitting radioactive isotopes to create cross-sectional tomographic images that show function or metabolism, rather than anatomy, as in conventional scanning techniques. The PET scanner's software generates quantitative images through Attenuation Correction, which corrects for loss of information due to absorption and scatter by overlying soft tissue, and through theoretical, measured, or hybrid (segmented attenuation correction) Image Reconstruction, which generates transaxial images from acquired data using a filtered back projection or iterative reconstruction process. The PET scanner consists of Detector System, Gantry, Front-end Electronics, Patient Table, Transmission Source, Operator's Control Workstation, Image Processing Workstation and optional Remote Display Workstation.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard PET image reconstruction techniques (filtered back projection, iterative reconstruction) and attenuation correction, without mentioning any AI/ML algorithms or capabilities.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic imaging tool for showing function or metabolism, not for treating any condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "The PET scanner is intended to be used for whole body, multi-slice, Positron Emission Tomography diagnostic imaging."

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (Detector System, Gantry, Front-end Electronics, Patient Table, Transmission Source, Operator's Control Workstation, Image Processing Workstation, optional Remote Display Workstation) in addition to the software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the PET scanner images the distribution of positron-emitting radionuclides in the human body. It creates images of function or metabolism within the body.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing samples taken from the patient. The process involves injecting a radioactive tracer and then imaging its distribution internally.

Therefore, the PET scanner falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device description summary:

The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners from Neusoft Positron Medical Systems Corporation image the distribution of positron-emitting radionuclides in the human body. These software-controlled medical devices use positron emitting radioactive isotopes to create cross-sectional tomographic images that show function or metabolism, rather than anatomy, as in conventional scanning techniques.

The PET scanner's software generates quantitative images through Attenuation Correction, which corrects for loss of information due to absorption and scatter by overlying soft tissue, and through theoretical, measured, or hybrid (segmented attenuation correction) Image Reconstruction, which generates transaxial images from acquired data using a filtered back projection or iterative reconstruction process.

The PET scanner consists of Detector System, Gantry, Front-end Electronics, Patient Table, Transmission Source, Operator's Control Workstation, Image Processing Workstation and optional Remote Display Workstation.

Intended Use:

The PET scanner is intended to be used for whole body, multi-slice, Positron Emission Tomography diagnostic imaging.

Environment of Use / Patient Population:

The PET scanner is intended to be used for imaging individual patients in a controlled medical facility, such as a hospital, medical clinic, or mobile medical unit environment.

Comparison of Major Technological Characteristics:

The main design differences between the predicate device, the mPower™ PET scanner, and the candidate device, the NPMS PET scanner, are listed below:

  • The system hardware dead time of the candidate device is reduced relative to the 1. predicate device, e.g., the predicate device has a Discriminator dead time period of 520 nanoseconds, whereas the candidate device Discriminator dead time period is 400 nanoseconds; the predicate device has a coincidence dead time period of 160 nanoseconds and encoder dead time period of 42 nanoseconds, whereas the candidate device has a coincidence dead time period of 60 nanoseconds and encoder dead time period of 30 nanoseconds.
  • The predicate device Front End Electronics include 64 Discriminator boards, 8 2. Encoder boards, 4 LAFD boards, 1 Coincidence board, and 1 Arbitration and Transfer board, whereas the candidate device integrates the same functionality into 8 Bank Encoder Boards (BEB) and 1 Data Assembly Board (DAB) .
    1. The predicate device uses 34 fans and blowers to pull cooling air through the Gantry and Front End Electronics enclosures. TThe candidate device uses 4 fans located in the top cover of the Gantry to pull cooling air through the Gantry.
  • The predicate device rod source loading mechanism requires manual intervention to 4. switch between the high activity transmission rod source and low activity emission calibration rod source whereas the candidate device provides an automated rod source loading mechanism that loads either the high activity transmission rod source or the low activity emission calibration source without manual intervention.

  • The predicate device has a single LED display on the front cover of the Gantry along 5. with two pushbutton control panels. The candidate device has two LCD displays combined with pushbutton control panels on the front cover of the Gantry, along with two pushbutton control panels on the sides of the Gantry (accessible from behind the Gantry), and an LED display on the rear cover of the Gantry.
  • The predicate device provides a stop switch which makes the device slow down and 6. stop gradually, whereas the candidate device provides emergency stop switches which shut off the power of table, septa and wobble, and so the moving components of the device stop quickly.
    1. The predicate device patient table weight limit is 159 kg. The candidate device patient table weight limit is 200 kg.
    1. The predicate device patient table is a fixed height design. The candidate device patient table can move over a 24cm vertical range from a loading level to a working level.
  • റ്റ. The predicate device utilizes one Ge-68 4mCi transmission rod source. The candidate device utilizes one Ge-68 5mCi transmission source.
    1. The candidate device includes an updated control workstation and image processing workstation.
    1. The predicate device data acquisition system is a rack mounted VMEbus-based real time computer running the VxWorks real-time operating system on a MC68030-based single board computer. The data acquisition and processing functions are executed on a set of proprietary VME/VSBbus compatible boards. The candidate device provides a Gigabit Ethernet interface on the Data Assembly Board that transfers the event data and system control data to the control workstation where the data are processed by software.
    1. The candidate device provides the same 30 party OSEM image reconstruction software used on the predicate device. In addition, the candidate device uses the following 30 party software: Linux Operating System, RTAI (Real Time Application Interface). These 30 party software packages were not used on the predicate device.
    1. The performance test data of the candidate device have been obtained using NEMA NU2 phantoms, under the test procedure of NEMA NU2 standards and detailed in section 18 of the submission.
