No
The summary explicitly states the device is a "data gathering device" and does not mention any AI, ML, or advanced image processing techniques beyond basic tomographic image reconstruction. There is no mention of training or test sets for AI/ML models.

No
The device is described as a "data gathering device" that allows simulators to process data into tomographic images and is explicitly stated as "not a diagnostic tool." There is no mention of it being used for treatment or therapeutic purposes.

No

The text explicitly states: "The SLS-CT is not a diagnostic tool."

No

The description explicitly states the SLS-CT System is a "passive add-on option" to existing hardware (Radiotherapy Simulators) and is a "data gathering device," implying it includes hardware components to interface with and gather data from the simulator.

Based on the provided information, the SLS-CT is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections both explicitly state: "The SLS-CT is not a diagnostic tool."
  • Function: The device is described as a "data gathering device" that allows existing Radiographic Simulators to process data into tomographic images. Its role is to facilitate image creation, not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
  • Context: It's an add-on to Radiotherapy Simulators, which are used for planning radiation treatment, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SLS-CT does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Modular testing of the hardware and software has been performed to the specifications. A hazard analysis of the hardware and software was performed by both Philips Medical Systems and BIR with safeguards instituted. Stringent software and hardware design and quality assurance procedures were adhered to. Stringent system verification and validation testing was performed per documented procedures during two Beta tests, with Beta Test 1 being performed at Philips Medical Systems and Beta Test 2 in a clinical setting. In-house verification and validation was performed by BIR.

The SLS-CT System manufactured by Bio-Imaging Research (BIR) is a passive add-on option to Philips Medical Systems, Inc.'s existing, legally marketed, Radiotherapy Simulators. The SLS-CT does not control the Simulator x-ray and mechanical functions. The SLS-CT is a data gathering device that allows the Radiographic Simulators to process data into tomographic images. The SLS-CT is not a diagnostic tool.

The SLS-CT System complies with voluntary standards IEC601, UL 2601, and CSA 601. The SLS-CT software was developed utilizing the IEEE Software Engineering Standard as a model.

System and software requirements specifications were developed in concert with Philips Medical Systems. Modular testing of the hardware and software has been performed to the specifications. A hazard analysis of the hardware and software was performed by both Philips Medical Systems and BIR with safeguards instituted. Stringent software and hardware design and quality assurance procedures were adhered to. Stringent system verification and validation testing was performed per documented procedures during two Beta tests, with Beta Test 1 being performed at Philips Medical Systems and Beta Test 2 in a clinical setting. In-house verification and validation was performed by BIR. Operator, System Validation and Maintenance, and Service Manuals, along with Customer Acceptance Test Schedule documents provide the user with clear and concise information thus ensuring the safe and effective operation of the system.

BIR's manufacturing facility strictly adheres to and believes in the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices. BIR's Quality System is certified to ISO9001 for the design, manufacturing, and service of medical imaging equipment.
