Procedures that can be performed with the ARTIS family include cardiac angiography, neuro-angiography, general angiography, rotational angiography, multipurpose angiography and whole body radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures as well as procedures next to the table for i.e. patient extremities. This does not include projection radiography. Additional procedures that can be performed include angiography in the operating room, image guided surgery by X-ray, by image fusion, and by navigation systems. The examination table as an integrated part of the system can be used for X-ray imaging, surgery and interventions. ARTIS can also support the acquisition of position triggered imaging for spatial data synthesis. The ARTIS family include also the software option DynaCT with following indications for use: DynaCT is an X-ray imaging software option, which allows the reconstruction of two-dimensional images acquired with a standard angiographic C-arm device into a three-dimensional image format. DynaCT is intended for imaging both hard soft tissues as well as other internal body structures for diagnosis, surgical planning, interventional procedures and treatment follow-up.
Device Description
The new ARTIS icono (VE2) system is a medical device that allows visualization of vessels within the human body. It is of the utmost importance to find the right projections so physician can navigate catheters and other devices safely. The ARTIS icono (VE2) system consist of a patient table and a multi-axis motorized c-arm that can be positioned around the patient and angulated in a double-oblique fashion iso-centering the region of interest between the x-ray tube and the flat panel detector. The x-ray generator is placed separately. The displays for visualizing the x-ray images are mounted at the ceiling with a movable display suspension system. System operation is executed via control modules table side so that the physician can move and position the table and c-arm adequately for best imaging while manipulate the catheters or other devices during x-ray. X-ray release is table side via a footswitch. The ARTIS icono (VE2), modular angiography systems are designed as sets of components that may be combined into two different configurations (Biplane or Floor) to provide specialized angiography systems. In general they are equipped with C-arm, stand, flat panel detector, x-ray tube, collimator, high voltage generator, patient table, and image post processing. The ARTIS icono (VE2) covers the complete range of angiographic applications, cardiac angiography, neuro-angiography, general angiography, surgery and surgical angiography, and radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures.
More Information

Not Found.

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or deep learning, nor does it describe any training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development. The focus is on the hardware and standard image processing capabilities of an angiography system.

No
The device is described as an angiography system for diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures, used for visualization and guidance during procedures, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is developed for "diagnostic imaging" and that DynaCT, a software option, is "intended for imaging both hard soft tissues as well as other internal body structures for diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components such as a patient table, C-arm, flat panel detector, X-ray tube, collimator, high voltage generator, and displays. While it includes software options like DynaCT, the overall device is a complex hardware and software system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The ARTIS system is an angiography system that uses X-ray imaging to visualize vessels and internal body structures within the human body. It is used for diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures performed on the patient.
  • Lack of Specimen Examination: The description does not mention the examination of any specimens derived from the human body. The device directly images the patient.

Therefore, the ARTIS system falls under the category of an imaging device used for in-vivo procedures, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.
