Yes
The summary explicitly mentions "AiCE is a noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces image noise by employing Deep Convolutional Network methods" and "PIQE is a Deep Learning Reconstruction method designed to enhance spatial resolution. By incorporating noise reduction into the Deep Convolutional Network (DCNN)". Deep Convolutional Networks (DCNN) are a type of neural network, which falls under the umbrella of deep learning and machine learning.
No
Explanation: This device is clearly described as an imaging device, specifically a multi-slice helical CT scanner and associated software for processing medical images. Its intended use is for acquiring and displaying cross-sectional volumes of the body and providing information for diagnosis, not for treating or preventing disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used to acquire and display cross-sectional volumes for specialized studies and mentions software applications that are "intended to assist physicians with performing cardiac functional analysis," "to facilitate the extraction of user identified aneurysms on the cerebral arteries," "to aid in the visualization of anatomical and pathological materials," and "provide image information for diagnosis," among others. Additionally, it states that the "Vitrea Software Package is an application package developed for use on Vitrea®, a medical diagnostic system." These statements clearly indicate its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Aquilion ONE is a "whole body multi-slice helical CT scanner, consisting of a gantry, couch and a console used for data processing and display." This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software. While the Vitrea Software Package is mentioned as part of the system, the core device is a CT scanner, which is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this device acquires and displays images of the human body using various imaging modalities (CT, X-ray angiography, MRI, Ultrasound). It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body.
- The focus is on imaging and image analysis. The device description and intended use detail the acquisition of images, reconstruction algorithms, spectral imaging capabilities, and post-processing software for analyzing these images. This is characteristic of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, while this device is a medical device used for diagnosis, it falls under the category of medical imaging systems, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device. The 'Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text' section is marked 'Not Found'.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
This device is indicated to acquire and display cross-sectional volumes of the whole the head, with the capability to image whole organs in a single rotation. Whole organs include, but are not limited to brain, heart, pancreas, etc.
The Aquilion ONE has the capability to provide volume sets of the entire organ. These volume sets can be used to perform specialized studies, using indicated software, of the whole organ by a trained and qualified physician.
FIRST is an iterative reconstruction algorithm intended to reduce exposure dose and improve high contrast spatial resolution for abdomen, pelvis, chest, cardiac, extremities and head applications.
AiCE is a noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces image noise by employing Deep Convolutional Network methods for abdomen, pelvis, lung, cardiac, brain, inner ear and extremities applications.
The spectral imaging system utilizes two scan modes, spectral imaging scan and dual energy scan.
The spectral imaging scan allows the system to acquire two nearly simultaneous CT images of an anatomical location using distinct tube voltages and/or tube currents by rapid KV switching. The X-ray dose will be the sum of the dose at each respective tube voltage and current in a rotation.
Information regarding the material composition of various organs, tissues, and contrast materials may be gained from the differences in X-ray attenuation between these distinct energies.
The dual energy scan, utilized for brain imaging, allows the system to acquire two CT images of the same anatomical location using distinct tube voltages and/or tube cotations. The X-ray dose will be the sum of the dose of each tube rotation at its respective tube voltage and current. Information regarding the material composition of various organs, tissues, and contrast may be gained from the differences in X-ray attenuation between these distinct energies. This information may also be used to reconstruct images at multiple energies within the available spectrum, and to reconstruct basis images that allow the visualization and analysis of anatomical and pathological materials. Performance of dual energy scan may be affected by body size and motion artifacts.
When used by a qualified physician, a potential application is to determine the course of treatment
PIQE is a Deep Learning Reconstruction method designed to enhance spatial resolution. By incorporating noise reduction into the Deep Convolutional Network (DCNN), it is possible to achieve both spatial resolution improvement and noise reduction for cardiac applications.

Aquilion ONE (TSX-306A/3) V10.12 with Spectral Imaging System is a whole body multi-slice helical CT scanner, consisting of a gantry, couch and a console used for data processing and display. This device captures cross sectional volume data sets used to perform specialized studies, using indicated software/hardware, by a trained and qualified physician. This system is based upon the technology and materials of previously marketed Canon CT systems.
13. INDICATIONS FOR USE:
This device is indicated to acquire and display cross-sectional volumes of the whole body, to include the head, with the capability to image whole organs in a single rotation. Whole organs include, but are not limited to brain, heart, pancreas, etc.
The Aquilion ONE has the capability to provide volume sets of the entire organ. These volume sets can be used to perform specialized studies, using indicated software/hardware, of the whole organ by a trained and qualified physician.
FIRST is an iterative reconstruction algorithm intended to reduce exposure dose and improve high contrast spatial resolution for abdomen, pelvis, chest, cardiac, extremities and head applications.
AiCE is a noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces image noise by employing Deep Convolutional Network methods for abdomen, pelvis, lung, cardiac, brain, inner ear and extremities applications.
The spectral imaging system utilizes two scan modes, spectral imaging scan and dual energy scan.
The spectral imaging scan allows the system to acquire two nearly simultaneous CT images of an anatomical location using distinct tube voltages and/or tube currents by rapid KV switching. The Xray dose will be the sum of the dose at each respective tube voltage and current in a rotation. Information regarding the material composition of various organs, tissues, and contrast materials may be gained from the differences in X-ray attenuation between these distinct energies.
The dual energy scan, utilized for brain imaging, allows the system to acquire two CT images of the same anatomical location using distinct tube voltages and/or tube currents during two tube rotations. The X-ray dose will be the sum of the dose of each tube rotation at its respective tube voltage and current. Information regarding the material composition of various organs, tissues, and contrast materials may be gained from the differences in X-ray attenuation between these distinct energies. This information may also be used to reconstruct images at multiple energies within the available spectrum, and to reconstruct basis images that allow the visualization and analysis of
10
anatomical and pathological materials. Performance of dual energy scan may be affected by body size and motion artifacts.
When used by a qualified physician, a potential application is to determine the course of treatment
PIQE is a Deep Learning Reconstruction method designed to enhance spatial resolution. By incorporating noise reduction into the Deep Convolutional Network (DCNN), it is possible to achieve both spatial resolution improvement and noise reduction for cardiac applications.
