Intended Use
The intended use of the QuantumCam gamma camera system is to perform general nuclear medicine imaging procedures. This is intended to be accomplished by imaging the distribution of a radiopharmaceutical within the human body. Gamma rays emitted from the radiopharmaceutical are detected by the gamma camera system and formed into images characterizing and showing the state of organs or structures in the form of functional images. When QuantumCam is connected to a nuclear medicine workstation, these images can be used in concert with other clinical data to assist in making clinical diagnoses by authorized medical personnel. Indications for use. The QuantumCam is a gamma camera system designed to acquire data for whole body static, gated or dynamic and multi-slice images. The system is intended for use as diagnostic imaging device. When used with appropriate radio pharmaceuticals, images are produced representing the internal distribution of radioactivity in head or body. The system allows you to acquire data for high resolution three dimensional, static, gated or dynamic images of biochemical and metabolic processes using Tc-99m, TI-201, I-123, In-111, Ga-67, Co-57.
Device Description
The QuantumCam is a general purpose dual detector gamma camera system comprised of a mechanical gantry allowing the Detectors to be positioned and moved in close proximity to the patient for scanning. The Gantry provides for positioning of the detectors in location(s) suitable for patient to be brought in position for tomographic, whole body scanning as well as planar scanning in sitting or standing position. Functional description: The Detectors are standard Nal (Sodium lodide) / Photomultiplier based scintillation detectors designed following the Anger Camera principles first described by Hal Oscar Anger. This detector technology has been used effectively in Nuclear Medicine for decades. The Detectors are equipped with standard Collimators following the principles known to the industry. The image data from the detectors are collected by hardware in the detector and the data acquisition is controlled by software running on a standard personal computer with a suitable operating system. The data may subsequently be transferred to a Nuclear Medicine Workstation for processing and interpretation. This Workstation is not part of the QuantumCam system.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard gamma camera technology and performance metrics, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. Image processing is mentioned but is stated to occur on a separate workstation not part of the QuantumCam system.

No.
The device is described as a diagnostic imaging device, used to produce images representing the internal distribution of radioactivity to assist in making clinical diagnoses. Its purpose is to characterize and show the state of organs or structures, not to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The system is intended for use as diagnostic imaging device." It further elaborates that the images can "assist in making clinical diagnoses by authorized medical personnel."

No

The device description explicitly states the system is comprised of a mechanical gantry and detectors, which are hardware components. While software is used for data acquisition and control, the core functionality relies on physical hardware.

Based on the provided text, the QuantumCam gamma camera 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.
  • QuantumCam's Function: The QuantumCam directly images the distribution of a radiopharmaceutical within the human body. It detects gamma rays emitted from the radiopharmaceutical inside the patient, not from a sample taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "imaging the distribution of a radiopharmaceutical within the human body" and "imaging procedures." This describes an in vivo (within the living organism) diagnostic process, not an in vitro one.
  • Device Description: The description details a gamma camera system with detectors positioned near the patient, consistent with in vivo imaging.

Therefore, the QuantumCam is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
