No
The document describes standard PET/CT imaging and reconstruction software, with modifications primarily focused on handling increased data volume from an extended field of view. There is no mention of AI/ML techniques for image analysis, diagnosis, or other functions.
No.
The device is used for diagnostic imaging to detect, localize, diagnose, and stage diseases, and to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures, not to treat conditions directly.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended to "aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders." This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanner, which are hardware components. While it includes software for control and processing, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra PET/CT system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Biograph Vision Quadra PET/CT system is an imaging device. It uses X-rays and radiopharmaceuticals to create images of the inside of the body. The information is gathered from the body directly, not from a specimen taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the system as aiding in "detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function" by producing images. This is a diagnostic process performed in vivo (within the living body).
Therefore, while the system is used for diagnostic purposes, it does so through imaging the body directly, not by testing samples taken from the body. This clearly distinguishes it from an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra PET/CT systems are combined Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration 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 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 *

Device Description
The Biograph Vision Quadra 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 Vision and 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 Quadra 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 Quadra is an extended Field of View scanner based on the Biograph Vision 600 Edge scanner. The system incorporates the same CT on the Biograph Vision 600 Edge but incorporates a 106 cm axial PET FoV. The gantry mechanical frame has been updated to support four (4) times the detectors available on the Biograph Vision 600 systems.
The software for the Biograph Vision Quadra systems, which are the subject of this application, is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Vision software (K193248). Modifications have been made to the commercially available Biograph Vision software to provide for acquisition and reconstruction of the additional detectors associated with the extended axial FoV of the PET system.
Additionally, modifications have been made to the PET computers to ensure that the system computing can handle the amount of data received from the 1 m scan range system.
These changes have no impact on safety or effectiveness.
