No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Computed Tomography X-ray System" with a "continuously rotating tube-detector system," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
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.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this is a computed tomography (CT) system that generates and processes images of patients using x-ray transmission data. It works by scanning the patient's body directly, not by analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide images as an aid in diagnosis, treatment preparation, and radiation therapy planning. This is a direct imaging modality, not a laboratory test performed on a sample.
Therefore, this CT system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
