The summary describes standard nuclear medicine imaging techniques and image processing without mentioning AI or ML.
No
The device is described as an imaging system intended to aid in the detection, localization and diagnosis of diseases and organ function, and for evaluation of diseases, trauma, abnormalities and disorders, not for direct therapy.
Yes
The VERITON™ NM system is explicitly stated as being "intended for use by appropriately-trained healthcare professionals to aid in the detection, localization and diagnosis of diseases and organ function, for the evaluation of diseases, trauma, abnormalities and disorders." These are common functions of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "single photon emission computing tomography system (SPECT)" and mentions components like "signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories," indicating it includes hardware beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, the VERITON™ NM system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body. The VERITON™ NM system is an in vivo imaging system. It works by detecting radioisotope tracer uptake within the patient's body.
- The intended use and device description clearly state that it is a Nuclear Medicine (NM) imaging system and a SPECT system. These are modalities that image the distribution of radionuclides inside the body.
- The system's output is images and analysis of those images, not the results of tests performed on bodily fluids or tissues.
Therefore, the VERITON™ NM system falls under the category of an in vivo medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Mathematical and physics analysis were performed to demonstrate that each performance metric/claim was successfully verified and substantiated. The areas additionally evaluated for the non-clinical testing included energy resolution, count rate linearity, uniformity, system resolution and lesion detectability.
Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:
The device has successfully completed all design control testing per our quality system. No new hazards were identified and no unexpected test results were obtained. The VERITON™ NM system was designed and will be manufactured under the Quality System Regulations of 21CFR 820 and ISO 13485. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system:
- Risk Analysis
- Design Reviews
- . Software Development Lifecycle

- Testing on unit level (Module verification) .
- Integration testing (System verification) ●
- . Performance testing (Verification)
- Safety testing (Verification) .
Spectrum Dynamics believes VERITON™ NM system is substantially equivalent to D-SPECT® Scanner (K161740). The substantial equivalence was also based on software documentation for a "Moderate" level of concern device.
Conclusion:
Based on the conformance to standards, development under Spectrum Dynamics quality system, the successful verification testing, additional engineering testing, and the clinical evaluation Spectrum Dynamics Medical believes that the VERITON™ NM is substantially equivalent to the predicate device D-SPECT® Scanner (K161740) and hence is safe and effective for its intended use.
