The summary describes a standard CT system with hardware components and image reconstruction algorithms (filtered back projection). There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, performance studies, or key metrics. While image processing is mentioned, this is a common feature of medical imaging devices and does not necessarily imply AI/ML.
No
The device is described as an x-ray computed tomography (CT) system used for imaging applications, primarily for diagnosis, not for treating or preventing disease.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an x-ray computed tomography (CT) system that produces images for anatomical assessment, which is a diagnostic procedure. The "Summary of Performance Studies" also explicitly mentions "diagnostic x-ray systems".
No
The device description explicitly details numerous hardware components including an x-ray generator, detector array, collimator, control computer, data acquisition system, reconstruction computer, power system, and a scanner drive system. This clearly indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "x-ray computed tomography applications for anatomy that can be imaged in the 25cm field of view, primarily head and neck." This describes an imaging device used to visualize internal structures of the body.
- Device Description: The description details the components of a CT scanner, including an x-ray generator, detector array, and reconstruction computer. These are all components of an imaging system, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body.
- Input Imaging Modality: The input modality is "x-ray computed tomography," which is an imaging technique, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used to image specific anatomical sites (head and neck) within the living body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on image quality metrics (noise, resolution, etc.) and radiation metrics, which are relevant to the performance of an imaging device. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or diagnostic tests performed on such samples.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device is used to create images of the body itself.

Device Description:
The CereTom Elite is an improved version of CereTom computed tomography system providing enhanced functionality. It still has the same high resolution, 8 row, 32 cm bore and 25cm field of view. The lightweight translating gantry consists of a rotating disk with a solid state x-ray generator, Gd2O2S detector array, collimator, control computer, communications link, power slip-ring, data acquisition system, reconstruction computer, power system and brushless DC servo drive system (disk rotation). The power system consists of batteries which provide system power while unplugged from the charging outlet. The system has the necessary safety features such as the emergency stop switch, xray indicators, interlocks, patient alignment laser and 110% x-ray timer. CereTom Elite also has a scanner drive system (SDS), so that the system can be moved easily to different locations.
Indications for Use:
The NL3000 [CereTom Elite] is intended to be used for x-ray computed tomography applications for anatomy that can be imaged in the 25cm field of view, primarily head and neck.
The CT system is intended to be used for both pediatric and adult imaging and as such has preset dose settings based upon weight and age. The CT images can be obtained either with or without contrast.
Substantial Equivalence:
NeuroLogica Corporation has modified the cleared CereTom (K051765) within our design controls to include technology improvements and features like automatic exposure control, metal artifact reduction and wireless access point. Both the predicate and reference devices have the same intended use as the new device. CereTom Elite uses Gadolinium Oxysulfide as the detector material which is identical as the one already cleared for the reference device Philiance CT 16 - slice Configuration (K012009).
CereTom Elite incorporates the same fundamental operating principles as the existing marketed products CereTom (K051765) and Philips Brilliance CT 16 (K012009).
NeuroLogica Corporation believes that the CereTom Elite system, for its intended use, is of comparable type in design, components, functionality, and technology and is substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate device - CereTom (K051765).
5
- Design: The CereTom Elite is similar in general design principle to both the ■ above listed CT systems. Specifically, it shares all of the control system designs and features of the CereTom.
- Components: The CereTom Elite uses similar components as the predicate device (CereTom) such as x-ray generator, slip ring, rotational bearing, and motion control systems.
The following technology differences exist between the subject device (CereTom Elite) and the previously cleared predicate device (CereTom).
- . Detector material: The scintillation properties of the detector material Gadolinium Oxysulfide used in CereTom Elite CT system are more promising than the detector material Solid State CdWo4 used in the CereTom system (predicate device K051765). This material has already been cleared for use in the reference device Philips Brilliance CT 16-slice Configuration (K012009 cleared 09/13/2001).
- . Automatic exposure control: AEC was not offered on the CereTom system at the time of 510(k) clearance (K051765) but introduced as a device modification through a software/firmware upgrade. AEC feature has been verified as part of IEC 60601-2-44, clause 203.102 in CereTom Elite similar to the predicate device.
- . Metal artifact reduction: Streak artifacts are often seen around aneurysm clips, epilepsy probes or metal pins. The streaks can be reduced using metal artifact reduction (MAR). Testing was carried out using an anatomical phantom and it was found that the MAR algorithm performs as indicated by successfully mitigating the streak artifacts that show up in the CT images without raising any new questions of safety or effectiveness of the device.
- . Wireless access point: The wireless access point provides better security and stability of wireless communication in CereTom Elite by creating a standalone wireless network for the scanner compared to the existing Ad-Hoc wireless environment.
- Contrast capability: CereTom (predicate device) had the ability for helical and dynamic scanning for CT Angiography (CTA) and CT Perfusion (CTP) applications, including bolus tracking. The contrast imaging capability is added to the expanded indications for CereTom Elite (subject device) and additional performance testing data is provided for this purpose. The CereTom Elite scanner does not control the dose, rate or route of administration for the contrast agent.
6
- NEMA XR-29: CereTom Elite is XR-29 compliant and as such includes four key features of CT equipment that enable optimization or management of radiation dose delivery – dose structured reporting, CT dose check, AEC and pediatric and adult reference protocols.
The internal verification and validation activities and external testing of product safety and EMC / EMI was completed successfully. The differences noted above raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness based on all testing performed.
