Yes
The "Device Description" section explicitly lists "OncoFreeze AI (Data Driven Gating)" and "FlowMotion Multi-Parametric PET AI" as new software features. The "Summary of Performance Studies" also mentions "Additional scientific evaluations were performed for OncoFreeze AI (Data Driven Gating)... FlowMotion Multi-Parametric PET Al, FlowMotion AI (PET FAST Planning)".
No
The device is described as a diagnostic imaging system used for detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging, and re-staging diseases and aiding in treatment planning, rather than providing direct therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is "intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and re staging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Biograph Horizon PET/CT systems are combined hardware devices (CT and PET scanners) with associated software. While the submission focuses on software modifications, the device itself is a physical system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases or other conditions.
- Device Function: The Siemens Biograph Horizon 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 perform tests on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used to "aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and re staging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function" by producing images. This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.
Therefore, the Biograph Horizon PET/CT system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Siemens Biograph Horizon 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. 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 appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and re 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.*
- As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.

Device Description
The Biograph Horizon PET/CT systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph Horizon 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 Horizon 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 software for the Biograph Horizon systems which is the subject of this application is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Horizon software. Modifications include, corrections to software anomalies and addition of new software features, including:
