The summary describes standard CT technology and image processing techniques (material decomposition, VMI) without mentioning AI or ML. The performance studies focus on traditional image quality metrics and clinical equivalence, not AI/ML model performance.
No.
This device is an imaging system (CT scanner) used for diagnostic purposes, primarily head and neck imaging, to aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an x-ray computed tomography (CT) system intended for imaging primarily the head and neck. The generated CT images are used for medical diagnosis, as evidenced by the clinical evaluation where radiologists confirmed "diagnostic quality of the images" and the ability to "generate diagnostically acceptable images." This directly indicates its use in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical CT system with hardware components such as an x-ray generator, collimator, gantry, and detectors. While it includes software for control and reconstruction, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "x-ray computed tomography applications for anatomy that can be imaged in the 40 cm aperture, primarily head and neck." This describes an imaging device used to visualize internal structures of the body.
- Device Description: The description details a CT system, including components like an x-ray generator, detector, gantry, and software for image reconstruction. This aligns with the description of an in-vivo imaging device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) outside of the body. IVDs are designed to perform tests on these types of samples to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
In summary, the OmniTom Elite CT system is an in-vivo medical imaging device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The subject OmniTom Elite Computed Tomography (CT) system provides the same functionality as the previous version of the device, OmniTom Elite (K211711). Both computed tomography systems are identical in terms of the high resolution, 16 row, 40 cm bore, and 30 cm field of view. The lightweight translating gantry consists of a rotating disk with a solid-state x-ray generator, collimator, control computer, communications link, power slip-ring, data acquisition system, reconstruction computer, power system, brushless DC servo drive system (disk rotation) and an internal drive system (translation). The power system consists of batteries which provide system power while unplugged from the charging outlet. The system has the necessary safety features such as the emergency stop switch, x-ray indicators, interlocks, patient alignment laser and 110% x-ray timer. The gantry has omni-directional wheels that allow for robust diagonal, lateral, and rotational 360-degree movement and electrical drive system so the system can be moved easily to different locations.
The ability to upgrade the OmniTom Elite system with photon counting detector (PCD) remains the same. PCD provides the ability to capture CT data in multiple energy bands that can provide information on material composition of different tissues and contrast media. The multiple sets of CT data are acquired at the same time with configurable energy thresholds without any cross talk between images.

Software verification and software validation testing was executed to confirm all software requirements were met. For material decomposition, the multi-energy CT phantom was scanned, where three basic materials, water, iodine and calcium were decomposed. The materials were well represented in the respective decomposition maps. The OmniTom Elite with PCD underwent Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility testing and proved to be in compliance with IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-44.
Image quality evaluation: Image quality metrics such as noise, slice thickness, low and high contrast resolution, radiation metrics, and modulation transfer function were measured utilizing phantom image quality tests. Imaging metrics successfully demonstrated that the proposed device with PCD has comparable image quality with its previous version, predicate device (K211711) and meets all the image quality criteria that are used for testing. PCD capabilities were tested to demonstrate properties of PCD in count mode and multi-energy mode. For imaging purposes, the pixels were binned to match the predicate device detector geometry. Imaging metrics demonstrated stability of the detector, analysis of the count rate and limited pileup loss at low dose scanning.
Clinical evaluation: Comparative study was conducted under an IRB for comparison between OmniTom Elite with PCD and OmniTom Elite with EID images. Volunteers underwent CT scanning for a full head scan, from the upper jaw to the top of the skull to aid in generation of comparative images. Three locations were selected for the comparative study: The sinuses, the mid brain, and the top of the skull. These images were reviewed by three independent board-certified practicing radiologists and confirmed diagnostic quality of the images demonstrating the effectiveness of the subject device for clinical scanning. The clinical scans indicate the ability of the PCD configuration of the OmniTom Elite device to generate diagnostically acceptable images, which are equivalent to those produced by the OmniTom Elite with EID. Multi-energy studies demonstrate the PCD's ability not only to produce diagnostically acceptable images but also to ability to decompose images using different basis materials such as iodine and calcium.

Performance Data:
The risk analysis, verification and validation activities and testing of product safety and EMC / EMI was completed successfully. The differences noted raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness based on all testing performed and establish that specifications for the device have been met. Below a summary has been provided for the testing conducted.
Bench testing
The software contained in the proposed device has been developed & tested in accordance with IEC 62304, and the FDA guidance for Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. Software is critical to the operation of the OmniTom Elite CT system and a malfunction or design flaw in the software could result in delay in delivery of appropriate medical care. As such, the risk management analysis identified potential hazards which were controlled and mitigated during development of OmniTom Elite. The verification/validation testing ensured the safety and effectiveness of OmniTom Elite.
11
Design verification and design validation testing was performed to confirm all design and user requirements were met. The proposed OmniTom Elite device demonstrated that the new features did not exhibit any negative effects on the requirements in place, as well as they did not exhibit any concerns that may impact safety and effectiveness.
Software verification and software validation testing was executed to confirm all software requirements were met. The proposed OmniTom Elite device was shown to meet all requirements and to not have any impact on imaging.
For material decomposition, the multi-energy CT phantom was scanned, where three basic materials, water, iodine and calcium were decomposed. The materials were well represented in the respective decomposition maps, for example; iodine of varying densities highlighted on the iodine map.
The OmniTom Elite with PCD underwent Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility testing and proved to be in compliance with IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-44.
Image quality evaluation
Image quality metrics such as noise, slice thickness, low and high contrast resolution. radiation metrics, and modulation transfer function were measured utilizing phantom image quality tests in accordance with the equipment performance standards for diagnostic x-ray systems administered by the FDA. Imaging metrics successfully demonstrated that the proposed device with PCD has comparable image quality with its previous version, predicate device (K211711) and meets all the image quality criteria that are used for testing.
In addition, PCD capabilities were tested to demonstrate properties of PCD in count mode and multi-energy mode. For imaging purposes, the pixels were binned to match the predicate device detector geometry. Imaging metrics demonstrated stability of the detector, analysis of the count rate and limited pileup loss at low dose scanning.
Clinical evaluation
Comparative study was conducted under an IRB for comparison between OmniTom Elite with PCD and OmniTom Elite with EID images. All study protocols were performed in accordance with the relevant regulations and the guidelines. Volunteers underwent CT scanning for a full head scan, from the upper jaw to the top of the skull to aid in generation of comparative images. Three locations were selected for the comparative study: The sinuses, the mid brain, and the top of the skull. These images were reviewed by three independent board-certified practicing radiologists and confirmed diagnostic quality of the images demonstrating the effectiveness of the subject device for clinical scaming.

Below the logo, the text "A Subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd" is written in a smaller font.
The clinical scans indicate the ability of the PCD configuration of the OmniTom Elite device to generate diagnostically acceptable images, which are equivalent to those produced by the OmniTom Elite with EID. The subject device clinical benefits outweigh the risks and as such the device should be considered safe for its intended use and performs like other CT devices currently on the market. Multi-energy studies demonstrate the PCD's ability not only to produce diagnostically acceptable images but also to ability to decompose images using different basis materials such as iodine and calcium. This additional information can be beneficial in improving diagnostic confidence.
The clinical evaluation demonstrates safety and performance of the OmniTom Elite system with PCD, when used under the conditions and for the purposes intended.
Conclusion
Both the proposed device (OmniTom Elite) with the optional PCD upgrade and the predicate device (K211711) are CT systems that are used for similar CT imaging purposes. The overall design of the CT system and basic functionality that it provides to the end user are the same. The differences in technological characteristics through the additional software features adding applications utilizing the multi-energy CT functionality for high resolution mode, material decomposition, virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
The results of the performance testing and conformance to the harmonized standards demonstrate that the subject device operates in accordance with specifications and meets user needs and intended use. The proposed OmniTom Elite CT system performs as well in its intended use as similar CT devices currently on the market.
