No
The document mentions "data and image processing" but does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, nor does it describe features typically associated with AI/ML in medical imaging (e.g., automated detection, segmentation, or quantitative analysis driven by learned models).
No.
The device is intended for detecting, localizing, and diagnosing diseases and organ function, and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy, but it does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is "to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing of diseases and organ function of diseases, trauma, abnormalities, and disorders." This directly describes a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a hybrid SPECT-CT system with physical components like gantries, a patient table, and consoles, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device that includes software for operation and image processing.
Based on the provided text, the GE Discovery NM/CT 670 system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The GE Discovery NM/CT 670 system is an imaging system that uses Nuclear Medicine (NM/SPECT) and Computed Tomography (CT) to create images of the inside of the patient's body. It directly interacts with the patient using radiation (radioisotopes for NM and X-rays for CT) to produce these images.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes aiding in detecting, localizing, and diagnosing diseases and organ function within the patient's body through imaging.
The device's function and intended use clearly fall under the category of medical imaging systems, not devices that analyze samples taken from the body.

The Discovery NM/CT 670 employs the same fundamental Technology: scientific technology as its predicate devices the Nuclear Medicine SPECT system (NM) K022960- Infinia and the CT system, BrightSpeed Elite K082816- ; The CT part is an identical CT system to its predicate device K082816, 16 slices, (BSD16) except for new equivalent patient table that share common use with the NM system and minor software modifications. The common table meets attenuation requirements for NM and provides equivalent or less attenuation vs. original CT table. The NM part (NM gantry and dual head NM detectors) are improved modification of the NM predicate device K022960- Infinia.
Determination of Substantial Equivalence:
The Discovery NM/CT 670 and its applications is designed to comply with voluntary standards as detailed in Section 9, 11 and 17 of this premarket submission. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system:
Risk Analysis Requirements Reviews Design Reviews Testing on unit level (Module verification) Integration testing (System verification) Final acceptance testing (Validation) Performance testing (Verification) Safety testing (Verification)
The Discovery NM/CT 670 did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.
Conclusion:
GE Healthcare considers the Discovery NM/CT 670 to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s)
