Yes
The summary explicitly states that the PET AR is an "Artificial Intelligence-powered reconstruction algorithm".
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device" used for "detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and follow-up for monitoring therapy response," which indicates a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose. While it can be used for "therapeutic planning," it does not administer therapy itself.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The Vereos PET/CT System is a diagnostic imaging device" and "The Philips Vereos PET/CT system is used for the purpose of detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and follow-up for monitoring therapy response of various diseases in oncology, cardiology and neurology." The "Device Description" also refers to it as an "integrated diagnostic X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system."
No
The device is described as an integrated PET/CT system, which includes hardware components such as the gantry, patient table, X-ray tube, and detection system, in addition to software.
Based on the provided text, the Vereos 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 taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Vereos PET/CT Function: The Vereos PET/CT System is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device. It directly images the internal structures and processes within a living patient using X-rays and radiopharmaceuticals. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
The text clearly describes the system as a "diagnostic imaging device" that "images anatomical cross-sections" and "images the distribution of PET anatomy-specific radiopharmaceuticals in the patient." This aligns with the definition of an in vivo imaging system, not an IVD.
No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a PCCP for this specific device. The phrase "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP)" is marked as "Not Found".
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Vereos PET/CT System is a diagnostic imaging device that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Xray Computed Tomography (CT) systems. The CT subsystem images anatomical cross-sections by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data. The PET subsystem images the distribution of PET anatomy-specific radiopharmaceuticals in the patient. The Philips Vereos PET/CT system is used for the purpose of detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and follow-up for monitoring therapy response of various diseases in oncology, cardiology and neurology. The system is intended to image the whole body, heart, brain, lung, gastrointestinal, bone, lymphatic, and other major organs for a wide range of patient types, sizes, and extent of diseases. Both subsystems can also be operated as fully functional, independent diagnostic tools including application of the CT scanner for diagnosis and for use in radiation therapy planning.

Device Description
The proposed Vereos PET/CT system is an integrated diagnostic X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system designed for a wide range of diagnostic applications. Computerized Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain cross sectional images of the head or body. The quality of the images depends on the level and amount of X-ray energy delivered to the tissue. CT imaging displays both high-density tissue, such as bone, and soft tissue. When interpreted by a trained physician, CT images provide useful diagnostic information. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) uses radiopharmaceuticals to obtain images by measuring the internal distribution of radioactivity within organs of the body. PET technology enables the practitioner to reconstruct high-resolution, three-dimensional imaqes of biochemical and metabolic processes of organs within the body.
The proposed Vereos PET/CT system utilizes the CT technology to obtain anatomic images of the human body and PET technology to obtain functional images of the human body. The clinical value of both technologies increases with the capability to fuse the CT and PET images using Philips fusion viewer Image Fusion software to create a composite image for therapeutic planning. The system also provides tools for quantifying results from the CT and PET images and provides the means for a simplified review of the CT, PET, and fused images. The integration of the anatomical data from CT with the metabolic data from PET gives clinicians the visual information necessary to define the severity, as well as the extent, of the disease.
The system is comprised of the following system components/subsystems: positron emission tomography (PET); X-ray computed tomography (CT); a patient table; Operating station; Reconstruction Servers. On the gantry, the main active components are the x-ray high voltage (HV) power supply, the x-ray tube, and the detection system. These components of the proposed Vereos PET/CT are identical to the currently marketed and predicate device, Vereos PET/CT (K210880) with respect to technological specifications.
The proposed Vereos PET/CT System includes a modification to the currently marketed and predicate device, Vereos PET/CT (K210880). The modification is limited to the addition of an optional Adaptive reconstruction algorithm ("PET AR") to be used as an additional reconstruction method for offline reconstructions. The interface of the PET AR with the Vereos system is additional protocols available to the user in the PET recon tool. In addition, a Software patch was released which limits the use of the PET AR reconstruction protocols for the scan type it's compatible with and enables identifying the PET AR reconstructed images with visual identifier to differentiate them from regular PET results.
