The document mentions "application optimized algorithm" and "innovative calibration algorithms" and "Iterative reconstruction" (as a future option), which are general computational techniques and do not specifically indicate the use of AI or ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, neural networks, or related terms.
No
This device is a diagnostic imaging system (Computed Tomography X-Ray system) used to produce images for diagnosis, not to provide therapy. Its intended use is to "aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions," implying it supports treatment decisions rather than administering treatment itself.
Yes
The device is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. The images acquired are then used by physicians or similarly licensed medical professionals to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. This aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device, which is used to identify diseases or conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes primary components such as the gantry, patient table, operator console, and power distribution unit, and that images are acquired through the use of both hardware and software. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device with accompanying software, not a software-only device.
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 a "Computed Tomography X-Ray System that is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data collected at different angles and planes." This describes an imaging device that works by transmitting X-rays through the body and creating images based on the attenuation of those X-rays.
- Device Description: The description details the hardware components (gantry, X-ray tube, detector array, etc.) and software functions related to image acquisition, reconstruction, and viewing. It focuses on the physical process of generating images from X-ray data.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not perform any analysis on biological specimens. It directly images the patient's body.
The device is a medical imaging system used for diagnostic purposes, but it operates in vivo (within the living body) by using X-rays, not by analyzing samples in vitro.

Device Description
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 computed tomography (CT) scanner is a medical imaging device utilizing X-ray computed tomography to obtain images of the entire body. The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 is a high performance imaging system that uses retina Solid State Detector technology to ensure high image quality. It uses ultrafast scintillator technology and application optimized algorithm to enhance image details and integrated anti-scatter grid (ASG) and A/D technology (ASIC) to maximize SNR. It produces better image quality by innovative calibration algorithms. Efficient design of the gantry helps achieve structural stability under high G-Load and optimize the air flow to guarantee long thermal stability for wide range of ambient temperature and pleasant user experience.
The primary components of this system include the gantry, patient table, operator console and power distribution unit. Patient images are acquired, through the use of both hardware and software, via a rotating X-ray tube and detector array on the opposite side. The collected data is transmitted to the operator console for reconstruction into cross-sectional images.
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 is designed for use in a controlled clinical setting, to collect X-ray images that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions by a physician or similarly licensed medical professional.
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 system is a stationary full gantry is comprised of several subsystems, including the X-ray tube, pre-patient collimator, detector array, cooling fans, power distribution unit, high voltage inverter, high voltage generator, data collection board (DCB) electronics and support electronics. The gantry is organized into two distinct sections, the stator (stationary elements) and the rotor (rotating elements). Slip rings are utilitate the transfer of electrical power and data between the gantry rotor and stator.
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 system software implements many of the CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 Whole Body system scanner. Among the functions performed by the software are:
- Entering and editing protocol, patient, and scan parameter data
- Initiating scans, executing scan protocols, monitoring status, and responding to faults
- Collecting image data and generating image views
- Image viewing (3d reconstruction, MPR, CPR, MIP)
- Image analysis (ROI)
- Reporting and image filming
- Exporting data for external viewing or printing
- Performing calibrations
- Performing diagnostics
- Metal artifact reduction is a capability of the system software, but is currently a future option.
- Iterative reconstruction is a capability of the system software, but is currently a future option.
- Dose modulation feature (imA) is a capability of the system software, but is currently a future option.

The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 System is substantially equivalent in design, intended use, indications for use and technology with the currently marketed predicate. There are no significant differences in materials, energy source, or technological characteristics. Both the proposed system and the predicate are computed tomography scanners that support visualization tools. The design and fundamental scientific technology of both systems compare favorably.
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 System and the predicate both produce images of the head and body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. The subsystems (patient supports, generator, x-ray tube and detector) of both devices compare favorably, with only minor differences that do not affect safety and efficacy. This is supported by a comparison of system component characteristics and specifications in the table above.
The CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 System is as safe and effective as the predicate device, as demonstrated by successful completion of verification and validation testing, risk management activities and conformance to international standards. It is the conclusion of FMI Medical Systems that the CURA CT16/ScintCare CT16 System is substantially equivalent to the predicate, Siemens SOMATOM Emotion 16, and that there are no significant differences that raise new issues of safety or efficacy.
