The summary describes standard CT image reconstruction and processing techniques, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with such technologies.
No
The device is described as an imaging system for diagnostic support, reconstructing a three-dimensional matrix to produce views for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or rehabilitating.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "for use in diagnostic support" and the "Summary of Performance Studies" mentions "diagnostic reliability and usefulness of images produced".
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "X-ray imaging device comprising an X-ray acquisition system and the control box" and lists hardware components like the "scanner unit, the control box and the external workstation." It also mentions performance studies related to hardware modifications.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The NewTom VGi evo is an imaging system that uses X-rays to create images of the inside of the body. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "diagnostic support" by "reconstructing a three dimensional matrix of the examined volume and producing two dimensional views...displaying both two and three dimensional images." This is consistent with medical imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's an "X-ray imaging device."
- Regulation: The applicable product code is OAS, Regulation 21CFR 892.1750 Computed tomography x-ray system, Class II. This regulation specifically covers medical imaging devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the NewTom VGi evo is a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

7
We would like to point out that the proposed device NewTom VGi evo shares the same intended use of its previous version already cleared (K130442).
Technical and Functional Comparison
Like the predicate device, NewTom VGi evo is a X-ray imaging device, including a X-ray image acquisition system. As the previous version NewTom VGi (K130442), the proposed device acquires a sequence of X-ray images by means of a rotational movement around the patient's head and neck. Starting from such images a three-dimensional matrix representing the examined volume is reconstructed and two-dimensional views of such volume generated. More two-dimensional views, on which distances and angles can be measured, and more three-dimensional views, can be computed and displayed. Each image can be printed and/or stored in a magnetic/optical media.
The main differences between the subject device NewTom VGi evo and the previous version, the predicate device NewTom VGi (K130442), concern the many improvements and benefits for the final user introduced by the subject device:
- The user interface is enhanced, leading to improved usability/reliability. .

> Energy used and delivered
The proposed device has the same nominal input voltage, frequency and line as the parent NewTom VGi (K130442). Its max working current is higher and uses an x-ray tube with higher anodic current.
>> X-ray generator
The proposed device uses a different X-ray generator than the parent NewTom VGi (K130442) but both generators are manufactured by IAE spa.
> Flat Panel Detectors:
NewTom VGi evo is equipped with a larger Amorphous Silicon flat panel X-ray detector than the predicate device: a larger flat panel allows to have a bigger field of view to detect larger areas than the predicate device NewTom VGi (K130442).
>> X-ray Emission and exposure time
The exposure time emission is lower than the parent NewTom VGi (K130442), so lower exposure time emissions translate in increased safety and health for the users and the patients subjected to the NewTom VGi evo.
> Software
As per the predicate devices, the software requires a Microsoft Windows OS. NewTom VGi evo is supplied with the same proprietary software (NNT) of the predicate device NewTom VGi (K130442) but the proposed device provides an updated version of the software. It performs the same functions and algorithms (Filtered Back Projection) of the previous versions but there are many improvements in the graphic and user interface. Moreover, the new software version introduces the possibility to elaborate the three-dimensional images acquired during the scan in order to reconstruct them in a complete set of highly-detailed 2D images.
There are no differences in the device's firmware and in the control operator panel. The systems provide the same electronic hardware and have the same architecture interaction of the parent devices.

PERFORMANCE DATA VII.
The fundamental technological characteristics of the subject device NewTom VGi evo and predicate device NewTom VGi (K130442) are similar, so there are no significant difference in efficiency and safety. Electrical safety, EMC/EMI testing, biocompatibility consideration, performance and image quality testing, verification and validation testing were performed to support the hardware and software modifications. The subject device was designed, tested and found to be compliant with standards IEC 60601-1 (Ed. 3, 2005), IEC 60601-1-2 (Ed. 3, 2007), IEC 60601-1-3 (Ed. 2, 2008), IEC 60601-1-6 (Ed, 3, 2010), IEC 62366 (Ed. 1, 2015), IEC 60601-2-63 (Ed. 1, 2012), IEC 60825-1 (Ed. 2, 2007) and IEC 62304 (Ed. 1, 2006).
A risk analysis was performed to analyze the hazards associated with the changes. Non clinical considerations according to FDA Guidance for the submissions of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices" were performed.
The clinical considerations on the images in terms of quality and effectiveness sustained the diagnostic reliability and usefulness of images produced by the NewTom VGi evo applications.
In addition to the 2-D performance data recommended by the Solid State X-ray Imaging guidance, 3-D lab performance data (including 3-D MTF and NPS) was provided to evaluate the cone-beam CT mode of operation.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
As shown above, there are slight differences between the proposed and the predicate devices. All of these changes aim to improve the experience, safety and quality of the users of the NewTom VGi evo.
The principal components and the technical features of the proposed device NewTom VGi evo are identical or equivalent to the parent NewTom VGi (K130442), already cleared.
The design, the functions and technical characteristics of the proposed NewTom VGi evo are substantial equivalent to the predicate devices.
10
The level of safeness of the proposed NewTom VGi evo, with its new characteristics, is equivalent to the predicate device.
For these reasons we believe that the proposed NewTom VGi evo can assure more effective acquisitions of the head including the ENT, dento-maxillofacial complex, temporomandibular-joint (TMJ), other areas of human skull and neck with sections of upper cervical. Due to all the above described reasons, we can conclude that NewTom VGi evo is substantially equivalent to NewTom VGi and can be considered safer and more effective than the predicate device for the intended use presented.
