Intended Use
HeartSee Software for cardiac position tomography (PET) is indicated for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in co'min/g, Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to assist clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images by quantification of their severity. HeartSee is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians, nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification. The climician remains ultimately responsible for the final assessment and diagnosis based on standard practices, clinical judgment and interpretation of PET images or quantitative data.
Device Description
HeartSee is a software tool for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in cc/min/q. Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map for facilitating the interpretation of PET perfusion images in patients with suspected of known coronary artery disease. HeartSee is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians, nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification. HeartSee contains two fundamental components. First, the software imports cardiac PET images in DICOM format from PET scanners with DICOM output. These images are reoriented to cardiac axes to produce standard tomographic and topographic displays of relative uptake. Second, the software quantifies absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion per unit tissue (cc/min/gm), Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) as the stress/rest perfusion ratio and the Coronary Flow Capacity combining CFR and stress perfusion, all on a pixel basis for regional and global values. Archiving output data is supported for clinical diagnostics, quality control and research.

No
The document describes image processing and quantification of perfusion data but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms.

No
HeartSee is a software tool for cardiac PET image processing and quantification to assist clinical interpretation, not a device that directly treats or provides therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the software is indicated "in order to assist clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images by quantification of their severity," and the "Device Description" section states it facilitates "the interpretation of PET perfusion images." Both of these functions are integral to the diagnostic process for coronary artery disease. Furthermore, it explicitly refers to "clinical diagnostics" in the Device Description.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "HeartSee is a software tool" and describes its functions as importing, reorienting, and quantifying data from existing PET images. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware component being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • HeartSee's Function: HeartSee is a software tool that processes and quantifies data from imaging studies (PET scans) performed on the patient's body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "assisting clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images by quantification of their severity." This is image processing and analysis, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, HeartSee falls under the category of medical image processing software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Marchildon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
