Intended Use
AutoSPECT® produces images, which depict the three-dimensional distribution of radiopharmaceutical tracers in a patient. This software is intended to provide enhancements to gamma camera emission image processing by automating previously manual image processing functions, providing manual and automated motion correction, providing enhanced reconstruction algorithms that include resolution recovery, scatter correction, noise compensation, and attenuation correction via application of a transmission dataset.
Device Description
AutoSPECT® is a software application that produces images, which depict the three-dimensional distribution of radiopharmaceutical tracers in a patient via automatic or manual processing. One or more cardiac SPECT, gated SPECT, or MCD cardiac data sets may be processed automatically using AutoSPECT®. Additionally, one or more non-cardiac SPECT, or MCD data sets may be processed manually. AutoSPECT® contains basic data-processing algorithms that have been cleared previously; in addition to enhanced data reconstruction algorithms that include scatter correction, resolution recovery, map-based attenuation correction, and OSEM (Astonish SPECT) reconstruction. The AutoSPECT software option may be used on images from a gamma camera system that are DICOM 3.0 compatible. The following data sets may be used: Cardiac, brain, or other (bone, liver, etc.) SPECT datasets . Gated SPECT datasets . Vantage SPECT datasets SPECT-CT datasets ● Total Body SPECT datasets . MCD and MCD-AC datasets . AutoSPECT® provides the user three options for automatically processing cardiac datasets: AutoAll, ' > Auto Recon, and Auto Reorient. Each option is described in greater detail in the Software Description section, Section 4. AutoSPECT® also allows the user to process non-cardiac SPECT and MCD datasets. In this case, the operator manually positions the reconstruction limit lines to reconstruct transverse data sets. If necessary, the data set can be reoriented manually by positioning the azimuth, elevation, and twist lines to the desired locations. In addition, the capability of processing groups of SPECT data sets in a batch mode fashion is provided. Once the operator has selected the datasets and determined the processing method, AutoSPECT® processes the first dataset, followed by all remaining datasets without further interaction from the user. AutoSPECT® application runs on Microsoft Windows XP Professional environment. The minimum hardware requirements are listed: . Intel x86/Pentium class processor > 1 GHz ; Graphics capability must meet or exceed 1280x1024 pixels with 32 bit pixel depth; . 30 GB of disk space (minimum); . 512 MB of DRAM (minimum); . . 10/100 BaseTX Ethernet interface; Port capable of supporting a dongle; . . CD drive- capable of reading and writing; . 56 Kbps modem (minimum)
More Information

No
The description focuses on automated processing and enhanced reconstruction algorithms based on established techniques (OSEM, scatter correction, resolution recovery, attenuation correction) rather than AI/ML. There is no mention of learning from data or adaptive algorithms characteristic of AI/ML.

No
This device is a software application that produces images for diagnostic purposes, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the software "produces images, which depict the three-dimensional distribution of radiopharmaceutical tracers in a patient." It also mentions "diagnostic accuracy (equivalent sensitivity, specificity, and normalcy)" in the "Summary of Performance Studies", indicating that the images produced are used for diagnosis.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "software application" that runs on a standard operating system (Microsoft Windows XP Professional) and processes data from a separate hardware device (gamma camera system). While it has minimum hardware requirements for the computer it runs on, these are general-purpose computing requirements, not specific medical device hardware components included as part of the AutoSPECT® device itself. The 510(k) focuses on the software's image processing and reconstruction algorithms.

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: AutoSPECT® processes images generated by a gamma camera, which depicts the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals within a patient's body. This is an in vivo (within the living organism) imaging process, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the living organism) diagnostic test.
  • Input Data: The input data is from imaging modalities (gamma camera emission, SPECT, SPECT-CT), not biological samples.
  • Output: The output is processed images, not diagnostic test results from biological samples.

Therefore, AutoSPECT® falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Analysis was performed (provided in Section 3) on previously scanned images via multi-center evaluations utilizing data from 297 patient images acquired using Philips' imaging systems and AutoSPECT® (with Astonish & Astonish AC). These studies concluded that count data processed with the previously cleared reconstruction technique, Astonish (previously cleared in AutoSPECT®), at half count density (e.g., full-time scan, half dose / half-time scan, full dose), produced equivalent diagnostic accuracy (equivalent sensitivity, specificity, and normalcy), better image quality for perfusion imaging, and improved equivalent interpretive certainty versus full-time back projection. Additionally, these studies concluded that count data processed with Astonish-AC (Astonish + Attenuation Correction) produced improved diagnostic accuracy (improved specificity and normalcy) versus full-time back projection.

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON (DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES) H.

AutoSPECT® (claim extension) and the predicate (AutoSPECT®), have identical indications for use and use the same methods for motion correction, reconstruction, and display of images. AutoSPECT® (claim extension) like the predicate device also has the tools for automated and manual processing of images. AutoSPECT® (claim extension) provides the same enhanced data reconstruction algorithms that include scatter correction, recovery, map-based attenuation correction, and OSEM (Astonish) reconstruction as the predicate. The purpose of this submission is to support the expansion of claims relative to half-count imaging (using Astonish -AC). The functionality to support these claims has already been cleared, but not highlighted given that the present supporting data had not yet been obtained.

CONCLUSION l.

AutoSPECT® (claim extension) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, AutoSPECT®, based on an identical intended use and technology. Additionally, analysis was performed (provided in Section 3) on previously scanned images via multi-center evaluations utilizing data from 297 patient images acquired using Philips' imaging systems and AutoSPECT® (with Astonish & Astonish AC). These studies concluded that count data processed with the previously cleared reconstruction technique, Astonish (previously cleared in AutoSPECT®), at half count density (e.g., full-time scan, half dose / half-time scan, full dose), produced equivalent diagnostic accuracy (equivalent sensitivity, specificity, and normalcy), better image quality for perfusion imaging, and improved equivalent interpretive certainty versus full-time back projection. Additionally, these studies concluded that count data processed with Astonish-AC (Astonish + Attenuation Correction) produced improved diagnostic accuracy (improved specificity and normalcy) versus full-time back projection.
