The SCENARIA Phase 2 is a multi-slice computed tomography system that uses x-ray data to produce cross-sectional images of the body at various angles.

The SCENARIA Phase 2 system consists of a Gantry, Operator's Workstation, Patient Table, high-Frequency X-ray Generator, and accessories.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the SCENARIA Phase 2 Whole-body X-ray CT System. However, it does not detail specific acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the typical sense of a clinical performance study with defined metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy compared to a ground truth) and corresponding acceptance thresholds for a new device.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (SCENARIA Whole-body X-ray CT System, K101888) through performance comparisons and compliance with relevant standards.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your points where possible:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "sensitivity must be >X%"). Instead, the primary "acceptance criterion" is implicit: the SCENARIA Phase 2 system must be comparable to and substantially equivalent to the predicate device (SCENARIA K101888) in terms of physical, performance, and technological characteristics.

Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
Clinical Performance Equivalence to Predicate DeviceA clinical evaluation comparison was conducted. The results found the SCENARIA Phase 2 system to be substantially equivalent to the original SCENARIA System (K101888).
Bench Performance Equivalence to Predicate DeviceEvaluations were conducted for dose profile, image noise, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), slice thickness and sensitivity profile, slice plane location, and CT dose index. The results confirm the performance characteristics of the SCENARIA Phase 2 are comparable to the predicate device and support the conclusion of substantial equivalence.
Technological Equivalence to Predicate DeviceGantry, X-ray Tube, X-ray Generator, Patient Table specifications are the same as the predicate. Helical Scanning, Image Processing, Display, Image Storage, and Performance features are equivalent. Dose-related features are also included. The system is technologically equivalent in concept, function, and performance to the predicate device.
Compliance with Safety StandardsDesigned and manufactured under Quality System Regulations (21 CFR § 820). In conformance with applicable parts of IEC 60601 series standards (IEC 60601-1, -1-1, -1-2, -1-3, -2-32, -2-44).
Safety and Effectiveness (Overall Conclusion)Developed and validated according to applicable standards. Testing has proven the system is safe and effective for the indicated use. Risk and hazard analysis shows no new safety issues compared to the predicate.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document mentions "A clinical evaluation comparison was conducted," but does not provide details on the sample size (number of patients/cases) used for this clinical evaluation.
The data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is also not specified.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

The document does not provide any information about experts used, the number of experts, or their qualifications for establishing ground truth in the clinical evaluation. Given that it's a comparison to a predicate device, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to the predicate device's performance being the established benchmark.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not specify any adjudication method.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

An MRMC study was not mentioned or implied. The clinical evaluation was a "comparison" with the predicate device, but its methodology is not detailed enough to suggest an MRMC study or an effect size for human readers with/without AI assistance. This device is a CT scanner, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, so an MRMC study in this context would be unusual.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

A standalone performance study of an algorithm is not applicable here, as the device is a CT imaging system, not an AI algorithm. The performance evaluation focuses on the imaging system's physical and image quality characteristics.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Based on the available text, the "ground truth" for the performance claims appears to be:

  • Predicate Device Performance: The primary "ground truth" is the established performance of the legally marketed predicate device (SCENARIA K101888). The new device's performance is compared against this standard.
  • Bench Test Standards: For specific technical parameters (dose profile, image noise, MTF, etc.), the ground truth would be established by physical measurements and engineering specifications, often against industry-standard phantoms or test objects.
  • Compliance with International Standards: Compliance with IEC 60601 series standards serves as a ground truth for safety and general electrical/radiation performance.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The concept of a "training set" is not applicable as this is a CT imaging system and not a machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithm that requires training data.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no training set is relevant, this question is not applicable.


In summary: The submission for the SCENARIA Phase 2 CT system demonstrates substantial equivalence to its predicate device through a combination of clinical comparison and bench testing that evaluated physical and performance characteristics. It adheres to applicable safety and quality standards. Specific quantitative acceptance criteria for clinical performance (like sensitivity/specificity), detailed test set sizes, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods typically found in AI/CAD device submissions are not provided, as this is a medical imaging device and not an AI-powered diagnostic algorithm.

Scientific Concepts

The SCENARIA Phase 2 system uses 64-slice CT technology, where the X-ray tube and detector assemblies are mounted on a frame that rotates continuously around the patient using slip ring technology. The solid-state detector assembly design collects up to 64 slices of data simultaneously. The X-ray sub-system features a high frequency generator. X-ray tube, and collimation system that produces a fan beam X-ray output. The system can operate in a helical (spiral) scan mode where the patient table moves during scanning. As the X-ray tube/detector assembly rotates around the patient, data is collected at multiple angles.

The collected data is then reconstructed into cross-sectional images by a high-speed reconstruction sub-system. The images are displayed on a Computer Workstation, stored, printed, and archived as required. The workstation is based on current PC technology using the Windows™ operating system.

Physical and Performance Characteristics

The SCENARIA Phase 2 system consists of a Gantry, Operator's Workstation, Patient Table, high-Frequency X-ray Generator, and accessories. The system performance is similar to the predicate device.

Performance Comparison

A clinical evaluation comparison was conducted with the SCENARIA Phase 2 system and the original SCENARIA System (K101888) and found to be substantially equivalent as documented in Section 12 - Performance Testing - Clinical.

In addition, evaluations were conducted for dose profile, image noise, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), slice thickness and sensitivity profile, slice plane location, and CT dose index as documented in Section 11 - Performance Testing - Bench.

The evaluation results confirm the performance characteristics of the SCENARIA Phase 2 are comparable to the predicate device and support our conclusion that the SCENARIA Phase 2 system is substantially equivalent.

Device Technological Characteristics

The SCENARIA PHASE 2's Gantry, X-ray Tube, X-ray Generator, and Patient Table specifications are the same as the SCENARIA System (K101888). Likewise, the Helical Scanning, Image Processing, Display, Image Storage, and Performance features are equivalent to the predicate device. Lastly, the features related to dose which are available on the predicate device are also included on the SCENARIA PHASE 2. See Section 4 - Comparison to Predicate Device for additional information.

Therefore, the SCENARIA Phase 2 system is technologically equivalent in concept, function, and performance to the predicate device.
