Intended Use
The Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT systems are combined X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Position Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration and fusion of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information. The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray wansmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The PET subsystem images and measures the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body and utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for the fused PET and CT images. The system maintains independent functionality of the CT and PET devices, allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging. These systems are intended to be utilized by approxiately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting. diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures. This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high risk populations * * As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lune Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.
Device Description
The Biograph Vision systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph Vision systems provide registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information from the two major components of each system (PET and CT). Additional components of the system include a patient handling system and acquisition and processing workstations with associated software. Biograph Vision software is a command based program used for patient management, data management, scan control, image reconstruction and image archival and evaluation. All images conform to DICOM imaging format requirements. The Biograph Vision PET/CT, which is the subject of this application, is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Vision PET/CT (K180811). The key differences between the current Biograph Vision (predicate device) and the Biograph Vision PET/CT that is the subject of this application is the addition of two new models (Biograph Vision 450 and Biograph Vision 450 Edge) with a smaller axial PET Field of View, as well as additional software modifications to daily / weekly Quality Control that is applicable to all models of the Biograph Vision.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard PET/CT imaging technology and software for image reconstruction and management. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image analysis, diagnosis, or other functions beyond basic image processing and fusion.

No.
This device is a diagnostic imaging system used to aid in detecting, diagnosing, staging, and restaging diseases, not for therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the systems are "intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders".

No

The device description explicitly states it is a combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner, which are hardware components. While it includes software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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 Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT system is an imaging device that uses X-rays and radiopharmaceuticals to create images of the inside of the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the system as aiding in detecting, diagnosing, staging, and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease, and organ function through imaging. This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.

Therefore, the Biograph Vision PET/CT system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Biograph Vision software is a command based program used for patient management, data management, scan control, image reconstruction and image archival and evaluation. All images conform to DICOM imaging format requirements.

The Biograph Vision PET/CT, which is the subject of this application, is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Vision PET/CT (K180811). The key differences between the current Biograph Vision (predicate device) and the Biograph Vision PET/CT that is the subject of this application is the addition of two new models (Biograph Vision 450 and Biograph Vision 450 Edge) with a smaller axial PET Field of View, as well as additional software modifications to daily / weekly Quality Control that is applicable to all models of the Biograph Vision.

Intended Use:

The Biograph Vision PET/CT systems are radiological imaging systems that are a combination of a positron emission tomography (PET) camera system for nuclear medicine images, and a computed tomography (CT) camera system for x-ray images. The nuclear medicine images and the x-ray images may be registered and displayed in a fused format (overlaid in the same orientation) for the anatomical localization of the nuclear medicine data (i.e., distribution of radiopharmaceuticals). The PET and CT portions of the system may be used independently or in combination. The PET and CT images may be transferred to other systems for radiation therapy planning or additional processing.

Indications for Use

The Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT systems are combined X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration and fusion of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information.

The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles.

These systems are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures.

This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high risk populations.*
