Intended Use
Fujifilm's Tomosynthesis option is intended to acquire tomographic images of human anatomy and to be used with Fujifilm's DR X-ray systems. Tomosynthesis is used to synthesize tomographic slices from a single tomographic sweep. It is not intended for mammographic applications.
Device Description
Tomosynthesis is an advanced radiographic application that produces individual coronal "slice" images through an anatomical region of interest (ROI). To produce these slices, multiple projection radiographic images are acquired in rapid succession as the X-ray tube sweeps and rotates across the ROI. Once acquired, these projection images are subject to image processing that registers and reconstructs them into individual tomographic slices.
More Information

No
The description mentions "image processing" for reconstruction, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The process described is a standard tomosynthesis reconstruction technique.

No
The device is described as an advanced radiographic application used to acquire tomographic images for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes

The device acquires tomographic images that are then processed to produce "slice" images for an anatomical region of interest. The "Summary of Performance Studies" section also mentions "diagnostic image quality" in relation to the device's performance, indicating its role in providing diagnostic information.

No

The device is described as an "advanced radiographic application" that works with Fujifilm's DR X-ray systems to acquire and process images. While it involves image processing (software), it is intrinsically linked to and dependent on the hardware (DR X-ray systems and the X-ray tube sweep/rotation) for image acquisition. The description and performance studies mention bench testing and software verification/validation, but the core function relies on hardware interaction.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for acquiring tomographic images of human anatomy using X-rays and synthesizing tomographic slices. This is a diagnostic imaging process performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the process of acquiring X-ray images and processing them to create tomographic slices. This is consistent with medical imaging equipment used for in-vivo diagnosis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information about a patient's health status based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the living body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device operates in vivo (within the living body) using X-rays.

Device Description

Tomosynthesis is an advanced radiographic application that produces individual coronal "slice" images through an anatomical region of interest (ROI). To produce these slices, multiple projection radiographic images are acquired in rapid succession as the X-ray tube sweeps and rotates across the ROI. Once acquired, these projection images are subject to image processing that registers and reconstructs them into individual tomographic slices.
Tomosynthesis provides visualization of human anatomy by

    1. Removing overlying anatomical structures, which could otherwise obscure a structure of interest by superimposition in a 2 dimensional presentation, and
  1. Producing a number of slice images throughout the entire volume of the anatomy.
    Tomosynthesis will be available as an option to the legally marketed FDR AcSelerate Stationary X-ray System (K093427) with some modifications. To support Tomosynthesis application, the new Tomosynthesis software and new system component called Pre-Processing Unit (PPU) are required along with the upgraded version of the FDX Console. The new 17x17" Csl (cesium iodide) built-in detector, which replaced the previous a-Se (amorphous selenium) 17x17" FPD, will be used for Tomosynthesis.
