No
The document describes standard CT and PET imaging technology and software for image reconstruction and evaluation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or software details. The listed modifications are standard improvements to existing imaging systems.
No.
The device is a diagnostic imaging system used to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging, and restaging diseases. It does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is "intended to be utilized...to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function." This clearly indicates its role in diagnostic processes.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes hardware components such as CT and PET scanners, a patient handling system, and workstations, in addition to the software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The Siemens Biograph mCT systems are imaging devices that scan the inside of the human body using X-rays and radiopharmaceuticals.
- The intended use describes imaging and analysis within the body. The system is used to "image and measure the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans" and produce "cross-sectional images of the body."
- The device description focuses on imaging hardware and software. It describes the CT and PET scanners, patient handling system, and software for image acquisition, reconstruction, and evaluation.
The device is clearly an in vivo diagnostic imaging system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Siemens Biograph mCT 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 mCT systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomoqraphy and Positron Emission Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph mCT 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 mCT software is a command based program used for patient management, data management, scan control, image reconstruction and image archival and evaluation. All images conform to DICOM imaging format requirements.
The software for the Biograph mCT systems which is the subject of this application is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph mCT software. Modifications include:
- . Improvements to Radiation Dose Monitoring
- . Radiation Dose Reduction Initiatives
- Image Quality improvements .
- . Workflow Enhancements

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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
4
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportalProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrlvindustry/support/index.html.
