Intended Use
Planmed Verity is intended to be used for X-ray computed tomography imaging of anatomies within upper and lower extremities and maxillofacial area. The device is to be operated and used by legally qualified health care professionals.
Device Description
Planmed Verity utilizes the CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology with a flat panel detector to provide high resolution volumetric images. During image acquisition the detector and X-ray tube perform a single rotation around the target of imaging, during which an amount of snapshot X-ray images are acquired. The X-ray radiation is pulsed so that it is active only when data is collected for the projection images. Before reconstruction, calibration corrections are applied to the image data. The reconstruction is then performed using a dedicated reconstruction engine and algorithm. The system is designed as a compact, stand-alone unit from which the whole imaging procedure from patient information management to image acquisition, processing and archiving can be performed. The unit provides a motorized gantry with adjustable height and tilt for the best possible extremity and maxillofacial area positioning. The construction also enables a weight-bearing option, in which the patient stands inside the gantry during image acquisition. Weight-bearing imaging of the extremity shows the anatomy under natural load.

The description focuses on standard CBCT technology, image reconstruction algorithms, and physical device features. There is no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for imaging and diagnosis, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is intended to be used for X-ray computed tomography imaging, which is a method of generating images used by healthcare professionals to diagnose medical conditions within specific anatomical areas.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as an X-ray tube, flat panel detector, motorized gantry, and a stand-alone unit for image acquisition and processing. While it includes software for reconstruction and image processing, it is fundamentally a hardware-based imaging system.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that Planmed Verity is used for imaging anatomies within the human body using X-ray computed tomography. It does not involve the analysis of blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids or substances.
  • The device description focuses on imaging technology and image acquisition. It describes the use of CBCT, a flat panel detector, X-ray rotation, and image reconstruction. These are all characteristics of an imaging device, not an IVD.

Therefore, Planmed Verity is an imaging device, specifically a CBCT scanner, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical physical laboratory testing studies were completed for the product to compare the imaging performance of Planmed Verity and the predicate device. This testing included a wide range of different physical evaluations for performance, image quality and dose levels. All results were equivalent or slightly better in Planmed Verity than in the predicate device.

A clinical study was completed to evaluate the image quality of Planmed Verity's maxillofacial area. The images for this clinical study were selected from patients imaged as part of normal clinical routine in a university hospital in Finland. The results show that the imaging position, which is different from the one in the predicate device, gives a clinically sufficient image quality.

INTENDED USE

Planmed Verity is intended to be used for X-ray computed tomography imaging of anatomies within upper and lower extremities and maxillofacial area.

The device is to be operated and used by legally qualified health care professionals.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Planmed Verity utilizes the CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology with a flat panel detector to provide high resolution volumetric images. During image acquisition the detector and X-ray tube perform a single rotation around the target of imaging, during which an amount of snapshot X-ray images are acquired. The X-ray radiation is pulsed so that it is active only when data is collected for the projection images. Before reconstruction, calibration corrections are applied to the image data. The reconstruction is then performed using a dedicated reconstruction engine and algorithm.

ENCLOSURE 2

P. 2-2

The system is designed as a compact, stand-alone unit from which the whole imaging procedure from patient information management to image acquisition, processing and archiving can be performed.

The unit provides a motorized gantry with adjustable height and tilt for the best possible extremity and maxillofacial area positioning. The construction also enables a weight-bearing option, in which the patient stands inside the gantry during image acquisition. Weight-bearing imaging of the extremity shows the anatomy under natural load.

PREDICATE DEVICE

We consider this product to be similar in design, composition to the following device introduced into commercial distribution after May 28. 1976:

510(k) # K061834 Xoran xCATTM

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The intended use of Planmed Verity and the predicate device is similar. Planmed Verity is intended to be used for imaging anatomies within upper and lower extremities and maxillofacial area. Intended use of the predicate device covers these same areas. Planmed Verity and the predicate device both utilize cone beam computed tomography technology with substantially equivalent technical characteristics for acquiring 3D image data sets of these anatomical areas.

Non-clinical physical laboratory testing studies were completed for the product to compare the imaging performance of Planmed Verity and the predicate device. This testing included a wide range of different physical evaluations for performance, image quality and dose levels. All results were equivalent or slightly better in Planmed Verity than in the predicate device.

A clinical study was completed to evaluate the image quality of Planmed Verity's maxillofacial area. The images for this clinical study were selected from patients imaged as part of normal clinical routine in a university hospital in Finland. The results show that the imaging position, which is different from the one in the predicate device, gives a clinically sufficient image quality.

The safety of selected patient positioning has been analyzed as a part of the risk analysis. As an outcome it is concluded that the selected design methods ensure that the selected patient positioning for head area imaging is safe when used as labeled. The sitting position and open design of Planmed Verity makes it also easy for the patient to move away from the device whenever needed.

CONCLUSIONS

The intended use and technical characteristics are basically the same for both compared devices. The most evident difference is the patient positioning, which has, however, no notable effects on achieved imaging performance characteristics. Both devices are safe when used as labelled.

Based on the non-clinical and clinical studies the imaging performance of Planmed Verity was found both substantially equivalent to the predicate device and sufficient for clinical use.
