Device Description

ulrichINJECT CT motion is a syringeless contrast media management system that is designed for the controlled, automatic administration, on the venous side, of contrast media and saline, to human subjects undergoing diagnostic examinations in computed tomography (CT) applications.

The ulrichINJECT CT motion system consists of the CT motion terminal, CT motion injector, and the CT motion tubing system. The CT motion tubing system is the only component that comes in contact with the patient and has indirect contact with the blood path of a patient for a limited duration (few minutes). The CT motion tubing system consists of three components:

  • Spike for CT
  • Pump tubing-flex .
  • . Patient Tubing

ulrichINJECT CT motion uses a peristaltic pump as part of the injector which is designed to transport the media fluid through the CT motion tubing system (spikes for CT, CT motion pump tubing-flex, and patient tubing for pump tubing-flex). The ulrichINJECT CT motion system is intended to be used with the following components that are not supplied with the system:

  • Multiple patient use saline containers, ●
  • . Omnipaque IBP contrast media containers,
  • Omnipaque single-dose contrast media bottles. ●
  • Visipaque single-dose contrast media bottles, and
  • Cannula. .

The ulrichINJECT CT motion system is specifically indicated for use in CT procedures for the delivery of Omnipaque™ (lohexol) Injection, solution - GE Healthcare Inc. contrast media as supplied in Imaging Bulk Packages (IBP), Omnipaque™ (Iohexol) Injection, solution – GE Healthcare Inc., and Visipaque™ (iodixanol) Injection - GE Healthcare Inc. contrast media as supplied in single dose bottles.

ulrichINJECT CT motion is equipped with multiple hardware and software controls that work together for the safe operation of the intended use of the device. Controls include air detectors, which are designed to detect air without direct contact with the medium, pressure controls to manage and regulate pressure inside the tubing system, and check valves to prevent backflow of media and avoid retrograde contamination.

The ulrichINJECT CT motion is provided in three versions:

  • Mobile pedestal version ●
  • Ceiling version ●
  • Wall mounted version .

The mobile pedestal version consists of the injector head and the injector base with rechargeable battery. The ceiling version and the wall-mounted version consist of the injector head, a fixed-height arm, and a movable arm.

The software option SYNCopen is a new software and hardware option which allows a connection between the injector system and a validated CT scanner. Both systems can communicate with each other and thus synchronize time sequences. The software option is only available if the manufacturer of the CT scanner has enabled the connection to the injector system.

The ulrich medical RIS/PACS Interface is a new software option supports transferring documentation-related parameters for a contrast media injection to healthcare IT systems. A worklist can be retrieved from a RIS server by means of the DICOM modality worklist information model. After selecting a patient from the worklist and performing the iniection, a comprehensive contrast media dose report is automatically transmitted to the configured PACS and/or Dose Reporting system.

AI/ML Overview

The FDA 510(k) Summary for the ulrichINJECT CT motion outlines a series of non-clinical tests to demonstrate that the device meets its performance criteria. While the acceptance criteria are implicitly stated through adherence to various international standards and specific thresholds (e.g., air detection limit, volume accuracy), they are not presented in a single, consolidated table with reported device performance. No clinical studies (MRMC or standalone based on expert consensus/pathology) were performed or referenced for this 510(k) submission, as the submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document explicitly states that non-clinical testing (bench testing, software verification and validation, EMC testing, sterilization validation, shelf-life studies, chemical compatibility, contamination control, biocompatibility, extractables/leachables, and human factors) was performed.

  • No "test set" in the context of clinical images or patient data is mentioned because this is a medical device for contrast media administration, not an imaging AI diagnostic device.
  • The tests mentioned are primarily laboratory or simulated use tests. Therefore, there is no direct information on a "sample size for the test set" as would be applicable to an AI diagnostic device evaluating patient data.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. The studies are primarily engineering validation and verification tests.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • Not applicable. Since this is a submission for a contrast media injector device and not an AI diagnostic tool requiring image interpretation or disease detection, there is no mention of experts establishing a "ground truth" for a test set of patient data. The "ground truth" for the tests performed relates to engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional performance.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. As there is no "test set" requiring expert interpretation or consensus for clinical ground truth, no adjudication method is mentioned.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No. The document does not describe any MRMC comparative effectiveness study. The device is a contrast media injector, and the submission focuses on its technical and functional equivalence and safety, not on improving human reader performance in interpreting medical images.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance

  • Yes, implicitly. All the non-clinical tests described (software validation, EMC, sterilization, shelf-life, chemical compatibility, contamination control, biocompatibility, extractables/leachables, and performance bench tests) are evaluations of the device's inherent functional performance without human intervention in the loop of the test itself. The "Human Factors" study assessed the user interaction with the device, but the core performance criteria were evaluated without human interaction during the test.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the various non-clinical tests described is based on:

  • Technical Specifications: Pre-defined design requirements for flow rate accuracy, volume accuracy, alarm limits (air, occlusion).
  • International Standards: Adherence to standards like IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 11135-1, ISO 11607-1, ISO 10993-1, ISO 8536-4.
  • Safety and Efficacy Assessments: Demonstrating no adverse interactions with contrast media, maintaining sterility, preventing contamination, and ensuring biocompatibility.
  • Usability Objectives: Confirmation that intended users can safely and effectively operate the device.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This submission is for a medical device (contrast media injector), not an AI algorithm that would require a "training set" of data for machine learning. The software mentioned is control software, verified and validated against functional requirements.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • Not applicable. As there is no AI algorithm training set, there is no ground truth established for such a set. The "ground truth" for the device's control software functionality would be its design specifications, regulatory requirements, and established safety and performance parameters.
