Intended Use
The Discovery CT590 RT/Optima CT580 Computed Tomography Systems are intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes, including Axial, Cine, Helical (Volumetric), and Gated (Respiratory and Cardiac) acquisitions for all ages. These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories. This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of trans-axial and reformatted planes. Further the images can be post processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results. The GE Discovery CT590 RT/Optima CT580 Computed Tomography Systems are indicated for head, whole body, and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications in patients of all ages. The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy. The system is capable of assisting with minimally invasive procedures such as biopsy and ablation of tumors and pathology. The system allows imaging of Bariatrics patients, up to and including the morbidly obese population (BMI > 40). The system can acquire CT anatomical images that are clinically useful in the simulation and planning of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. If the Deviceless 4D option is included on the system, the system can be used to efficiently provide and display CT images of all phases of a breathing cycle for the evaluation of respiration-induced motion of the chest for use with therapy planning and simulation. The software calculates the breathing period to determine the Cine acquisition duration and the cine time between images which is automatically imported to the 4D cine acquisition. The software then uses information derived from the imaging for the binning process.
Device Description
Deviceless 4D is a software option used for capturing the respiratory cycle and binning the image such that the target motion may be obtained for treatment planning. Deviceless 4D has the same intended use and clinical output of Advantaae 4D (A4D,K032915) which was included in the cleared Discovery CT590 RT/ Optima CT580 (K093581) CT system. Deviceless 4D is an alternative and efficient solution for 4D imaging and virtual simulation without the need for an external respiratory monitoring device. Deviceless 4D first uses a "scout-like" scan type called "SmartBreath" to determine the stable breathing cycle period that is then automatically implemented into the scan parameters for the Cine scans. D4D incorporates a design that uses internal anatomic features of the respiratory cycle obtained during the Cine scans for image binning. These features are temporally registered to the actual breathing cycle. The Discovery CT590 RT and Optima CT580 series of systems are composed of a gantry, patient table, operator console, computer, and power distribution unit (PDU), and interconnecting cables. The systems include image acquisition hardware, image acquisition, reconstruction software, associated accessories, and connections/interfaces to accessories. The current systems are an evolutionary modification to the Discovery CT590 RT and Optima CT580 (K093581) by adding software features, quality fixes, IEC Ed. 3 compliance, and modifications in hardware for RoHS compliance and technology obsolesces. The "16-slice", system generates cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction transmission data taken at different angles and planes, including Axial. Cine, Helical (Volumetric) and gated acquisition modes. It has a maximum total collimation coverage of 20mm in the z direction. The Discovery CT 590 RT and Optima CT 580 series of systems are designed to be a head and whole body CT systems incorporating the same basic fundamental operating principles and similar indications for use.
More Information

No
The document describes image processing and analysis for respiratory gating and binning, but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms. The methods described appear to be based on traditional signal processing and image analysis techniques.

No
The device is described as a Computed Tomography (CT) system primarily used for producing images for diagnosis, planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy, but not performing therapy itself.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy." This indicates its primary purpose involves diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of hardware components including a gantry, patient table, operator console, computer, and power distribution unit, in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a Computed Tomography (CT) system used to produce cross-sectional images of the body using X-ray transmission data. It is used for diagnosis, planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy, and assisting with minimally invasive procedures.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a CT system with hardware and software components for image acquisition and processing. The "Deviceless 4D" option is a software feature for capturing and processing respiratory motion from the CT images themselves.
  • Nature of Output: The output is medical images and analysis results derived from those images.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests on biological samples.

The device is a medical imaging system, specifically a CT scanner, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
