Yes
The device is intended for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion to assist clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images and quantification of their severity in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease, which clearly falls under diagnostic purposes.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "HeartSee version 3 is a software tool" and details its functions as importing, processing, and quantifying data from existing PET images. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware components being part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
- HeartSee v3's Function: HeartSee version 3 is a software tool that processes and analyzes medical images (PET scans) of the heart. It does not interact with or analyze specimens taken from the human body. Its purpose is to quantify and display information derived from these images to assist in the interpretation of cardiac PET scans.
Therefore, while it is a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
HeartSee version 3 is a software tool for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in cc/min/g, Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map for facilitating the interpretation of PET perfusion images in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. HeartSee version 3 is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians, nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification.
HeartSee version 3 contains two fundamental components. First, the software imports cardiac PET images in DICOM format from PET scanners with DICOM output. These images are reoriented to cardiac axes to produce standard tomographic and topographic displays of relative uptake. Second, the HeartSee version 3 software quantifies regional absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion per unit tissue (ml/min/q), Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) as the stress/rest perfusion ratio, and the Coronary Flow Capacity combining CFR and stress perfusion, all on a pixel basis for regional and global values, Archiving output data is supported for clinical diagnostics, quality control and research.
In addition to these established measurements of perfusion in ml/min/g, CFR and CFC approved by FDA for K171303, HeartSee version 3 has the following additional clinically relevant displays. For explaining uncommon patients with angina or ST depression ≥1mm during stress PET imaging in the absence of severe perfusion defects, HeartSee version 3 has the following three additional displays:
-
- Stress subendocardial to subepicardial ratio on relative activity tomograms.
-
- Subendocardial stress to rest ratio on relative activity tomograms
-
- Stress relative topogram maps expressed as a fraction of maximum ml/min/g and called relative stress flow (RSF).

Indications for use: HeartSee version 3 software for cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) is indicated for determining regional and global absolute rest and stress myocardial perfusion in ml/min/g, Coronary Flow Reserve and their combination into the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) Map in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to assist clinical interpretation of PET perfusion images and quantification of their severitv.
HeartSee version 3 is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians, nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians, or cardiologists with appropriate training and certification. The clinician remains ultimately responsible for the final assessment and diagnosis based on standard practices, clinical judgment and interpretation of PET images or quantitative data.
Summary of technological characteristics of your device compared to predicate device: HeartSee version 3 and its Equivalent Predicate K171303 are software tools using identical standard, industrial computing hardware and applications. The code in the software package HeartSee version 3 is identical to K171303 including determination of quantitative myocardial perfusion in cc/min/g, Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR), the Coronary Flow Capacity (CFC) map and their displays.
In HeartSee version 3 and K171303. Coronary Flow Capacity combines CFR and stress perfusion by plotting their values for each pixel on a clinically defined, objective, color coded plot of combined ranges of values that assigns a color to that pixel for the corresponding range of combined values of CFR and stress perfusion. That color-coded pixel is then back projected into its original coordinate position in the topographic map. All pixels of the LV image are correspondingly color coded for ranges of combined CFR and stress perfusion for each pixel thereby producing a single four quadrant left ventricular map of the combined CFR-stress perfusion ranges. By incorporating all the stress perfusion and CFR data into objectively color-coded ranges on a pixel basis, the CFC map accounts for regional and global biological heterogeneity, objectively simplifies complex data for optimal clinical interpretation and associates with major adverse coronary events (MACE) with decreased death or myocardial infarction after revascularization better than CFR or stress flow alone.
In addition to these established measurements of perfusion in ml/min/q. CFR and CFC approved by FDA for K171303. HeartSee version 3 has the following additional clinically relevant displays. For explaining uncommon patients with angina or ST depression ≥1mm during stress PET imaging in the absence of severe perfusion defects, HeartSee version 3 has the following three additional displays:
-
- Stress subendocardial to subepicardial ratio on relative activity tomograms.
-
- Subendocardial stress to rest ratio on relative activity tomograms
-
- Stress relative topogram maps expressed as a fraction of maximum ml/min/g and called relative stress flow (RSF).
Summary of performance data: By Cox multivariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier plots, CFR and separately stress perfusion derived by HeartSee version 3 associate significantly with major adverse coronary events (MACE) and mortality and their reduction after revascularization. By ROC analysis and paired t-tests, the stress subendo/subepicardial ratio, the subendocardial stress/rest ratio and the relative stress flow (RSF) associate with anqina or ST depression ≥1mm during stress PET in patients with only mildly reduced CFC and no severely reduced CFC.
5
Conclusions drawn from the performance data demonstrating that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device: HeartSee version 3 performs identically to K171303 for determining rest and stress perfusion in cc/min/g, CFR and CFC for significant associations with MACE, mortality and its reduction after revascularization. As an additional superiority over K171303, HeartSee version 3 has subendocardial and relative stress flow metrics that explain the uncommon occurrence of angina or ST depression ≥1mm in the absence of severe stress defects.
