No
The summary describes a dose calibrator, a standard nuclear medicine device, and makes no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Smart" in the name appears to refer to its networked PC interface, not AI.
No
The device is a dose calibrator used to measure radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic applications. It does not directly provide therapy or interact with the patient for therapeutic purposes.
Yes
Explanation: The device measures radiopharmaceuticals for "diagnostic applications," indicating its role in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "sealed, pressurized reentrant well style ionization chamber," which is a hardware component. The networked PC is described as the user interface, not the entirety of the device.
Based on the provided information, the CRC PC Smart Chamber K1 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended to measure radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic applications. This involves measuring the radioactivity of substances that will be administered to a patient, not analyzing samples taken from a patient (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: It's described as an ionization chamber used to measure radioactive materials. This is a measurement device for the radiopharmaceutical itself, not a device that performs tests on biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring analytes within those samples
- Providing information about a patient's health status based on sample analysis
The CRC PC Smart Chamber K1 is a device used in the preparation and handling of radiopharmaceuticals, which are then used in vivo (within the patient) for diagnostic imaging. It's a crucial part of the nuclear medicine process, but it doesn't fit the definition of an IVD.

Dear Ms. Yusko:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmp/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see

Product Description: The Capintec CRC PC Smart Family of dose calibrators are sealed, pressurized reentrant well style ionization chambers which use a networked PC as the user interface. The CRC PC Smart Chamber K1 is modified CRC PC Smart Chamber, which has been shortened in height to fit into the Karl 100 Dose Administration System, which is manufactured by TEMA.
Indications for Use: The CRC PC Smart Chamber K1 is intended to be used by qualified nuclear medicine technologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and radiopharmacists to measure radiopharmaceuticals, including high energy beta and gamma emitters for diagnostic applications. The CRC PC Smart Chamber K1 is intended to be only with the TEMA Karl 100 radiopharmaceutical dose administration system.
Comparison to Predicate Device: The CRC-PC Smart Chamber K1 is identical to the predicate device, the CRC-PC Smart Chamber, in terms of scientific technology, method of operation, radiation detector design, calibration, measurement processes, and basic electronic circuitry. There are two design main differences between the two devices: vertical dimension change and deactivation of some software found in the CRC-PC Smart Chamber, The CRC-PC Smart Chamber K1 height is reduced from the standard chamber height of 18,1 inches to 12.5 inches. The reduced height allows it to fit without any other modification into the Karl 100 dose administration system. It will be used in only one geometric configuration, 3 ml of solution in the Karl 100 sample cartridge. This assures reproducible geometry. Since there is only one geometry. Moly Assay has been removed from the software.
Safety and Effectiveness: Risk assessment confirms that all identified risks were either mitigated or are within acceptable limits. Verification and validation testing confirmed the CRC-PC Smart Chamber K1 meets all stated specifications and functions as expected.
