Intended Use
This device is a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system used to detect and display the distribution of positron emitting radionuclides in parts of the human body that will fit in the patient aperture. This device is to be used by trained healthcare professionals. This information can assist in research, diagnosis, therapeutic planning and therapeutic outcome assessment.
Device Description
The PhotoDetection Systems' NeuroPET is a small aperture positron emission tomography PET scanner that produces images based on the distribution of positron emitting isotopes in parts of the human body that will fit in the patient aperture for medical diagnostic and research purposes. The NeuroPET system consists of three subsystems (shown below); the NeuroPET Ring Gantry/Acquisition System, Patient Table and the Console/PC. The NeuroPET Ring detects coincident gamma pairs emitted from positron annihilation and contains all the data acquisition electronics and reconstruction computers. The Patient Table is used to comfortably position the patient relative to the scanner. The Console/PC provides the operator interface for the system including such functions as system and scan control, reconstruction, data archiving, image viewing, analysis, and network connectivity.

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard PET imaging system and its components, focusing on data acquisition, reconstruction, and image viewing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the provided text. The performance studies compare it to a predicate PET system based on standard imaging metrics, not AI/ML performance.

No
The device is used for diagnosis and research, and to assist in therapeutic planning and outcome assessment, but it is not directly involved in providing therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the information provided by the device "can assist in research, diagnosis, therapeutic planning and therapeutic outcome assessment." The "Device Description" section also mentions that the NeuroPET produces images for "medical diagnostic and research purposes."

No

The device description clearly states that the system consists of three subsystems: the NeuroPET Ring Gantry/Acquisition System, Patient Table, and the Console/PC. These are physical hardware components, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body. This device, a PET system, directly images the distribution of radionuclides within the human body.
  • The intended use describes imaging the human body directly. The description focuses on detecting and displaying the distribution of radionuclides in parts of the human body.
  • The device description details a scanner that interacts with the patient. The NeuroPET Ring Gantry/Acquisition System and Patient Table are designed for direct patient interaction and imaging.

While the information gathered by this device can assist in diagnosis, the device itself is an in vivo imaging system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Differences Between Other Legally Marketed Predicate Devices

The NeuroPET is viewed as substantially equivalent to the PET portion of the Toshiba PCA-8000A/Mark II.

The primary differences between the two PET systems are the:

  • Standalone PET vs. PET integrated into PET/CT
  • 후 Method of attenuation correction: CAC vs. CTAC
  • t Bore size: 31 cm vs. 90 cm
  • . Operator Workstation: NeuroPET GUI vs. Toshiba PET/CT GUI

A detailed comparison of the two systems is found in section 12.

The two PET systems are substantially equivalent in function, safety, and effectiveness to the PET component of the Toshiba Mark II CT.

Conclusion:

Based on submitted non-clinical and image data consistent with FDA's guidance for PET systems and for devices that include software, the NeuroPET is substantially equivalent in technology, intended use, safety, and effectiveness to the PET imaging component of the Toshiba PCA-8000A/Mark II.
