Yes
The "TruCorr" application within the device description explicitly states it uses a "deep learning model" which was "trained" to estimate attenuation corrected images. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.
No
The device is described as a processing workstation intended for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes, without any indication of providing therapy directly.
Yes
The device processes images to detect radioisotope tracer uptakes and quantify distribution of radionuclide and anatomical structures for "clinical diagnostic purposes," and its software options are "intended to assist the physician in diagnosis and/or treatment planning."
No
The device is described as a "Nuclear Medicine Software system" and a "processing workstation". While it is primarily software, the description mentions integration with a "D-SPECT cardiac scanner system" and being used as a "standalone post-processing station," implying it can be part of a larger hardware system or requires a hardware platform to function. The predicate device is also a "Processing and Reviewing Workstation," further suggesting a hardware component or dependency.
Based on the provided information, it is highly likely that this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) accessory, but not a standalone IVD device itself. Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended for "detection of radioisotope tracer uptakes in the patient's body" and for "clinical diagnostic purposes." This aligns with the general purpose of IVDs, which are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Input: The device processes data from radioisotope tracer uptakes, which are introduced into the patient's body. While the tracer itself might be considered an IVD, the device processes the signal generated by the tracer within the body.
- Processing and Analysis: The device performs various processing and analysis functions on the acquired data, including quantification, visualization, and reporting. These are typical functions of devices used in diagnostic workflows.
- Clinical Diagnostic Purposes: The explicit mention of "clinical diagnostic purposes" in the intended use strongly suggests a role in the diagnostic process.
- Integration with D-SPECT cardiac scanner system: The device is intended to be integrated with a cardiac scanner system. The scanner system itself is likely a medical device, and the TruSPECT acts as a post-processing and analysis tool for the data acquired by the scanner.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device (K160120; D-SPECT® Processing and Reviewing Workstation) is also a processing and reviewing workstation for nuclear medicine images. This further supports the classification of TruSPECT as a similar type of device.
Why it's likely an accessory and not a standalone IVD:
- It processes data from a medical imaging device: The primary input is data from a SPECT scanner (and potentially CT/MR). The SPECT scanner is the device that interacts directly with the patient and detects the radioisotope tracer. TruSPECT then processes this acquired data.
- It doesn't directly analyze a specimen: IVDs typically analyze biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.). While the radioisotope tracer is introduced into the body, the device is processing the imaging signal generated by the tracer's distribution, not a physical specimen.
Conclusion:
TruSPECT appears to be a medical device software that functions as an accessory to a nuclear medicine imaging system (like the D-SPECT). Its role in processing and analyzing data for clinical diagnostic purposes makes it fall under the scope of medical devices, and specifically, it supports the diagnostic process by providing tools for interpreting the results of the radioisotope tracer uptake. While it doesn't directly analyze a biological specimen, its function in providing information for diagnosis based on the distribution of a substance within the body aligns with the broader concept of diagnostic tools.
Therefore, while not a traditional standalone IVD that analyzes a specimen in vitro, it is a device that plays a crucial role in the in vivo diagnostic process using radioisotope tracers and is likely regulated as a medical device, potentially as an IVD accessory or a diagnostic imaging processing device. Given the focus on processing data from a medical imaging device for diagnostic purposes, classifying it as an IVD accessory seems appropriate.

Device Description
The TruSPECT is a Nuclear Medicine Software system designed for nuclear medicine images' post processing and further review procedures for detection of the radioisotope tracer uptake in the patient's body. Thus, using a variety of post processing features oriented to specific clinical applications.
SUMO Workflow enables visual evaluation and assessment of the sympathetic innervation system of the heart by quantification of uptake ratios between regions of interest, identifying discreet uptake areas of AdreViewtm (lobenguane 123 Injection) or similar agents within the heart. The results generated by the SUMO workflow can be displayed on the D-SPECT processing station and additionally, can be exported to EP systems. It can also be used by the physician to aid in ablation treatment planning by electrophysiologists.
D-SPECT Dynamic CFR is a workflow for visualization, and quantification of specific areas of attention. It is capable of processing and displaying the acquired information in traditional formats, as well as in three-dimensional renderings, and in various forms of animated sequences, showing kinetic attributes of the imaged organs providing quantitative blood flow measurements of SPECT images. The application provides visualization and measurement tools for both qualitative and quantitative visualization and input data evaluation. It provides automated and manual tools for orientation and segmentation of the myocardium. The software calculates myocardial blood flow measurements and provides tools, such as a database comparison workflow, to the clinician to evaluate these outcomes.
TruSPECT CT based Attenuation Correction (CTAC) is an application that removes soft tissue artifacts from SPECT images. The goal is to minimize the impact of attenuation to provide more consistent and reliable reading images. The CT Attenuation Correction (CTAC) uses a second form of imaging (CT) to develop a density map of each patient and correct the SPECT image accordingly.
TruCorr enhances the user's ability to visualize the acquired information (by way of a single clear image) - thus optimizing what would otherwise be a disjointed visual comparison. It is an Emission Based attenuation correction application using the deep learning model which was trained to directly estimate attenuation corrected SPECT images from non-attenuation corrected ones without the use of any anatomical images.
