Intended Use
The Notebook Imager™ is a gamma camera system which is intended for use in the generation of clinical images in Nuclear Medicine applications. Specifically, the Notebook Imager™ is intended to image the distribution of radionuclides in the body. In so doing, the system produces images depicting the anatomical distribution of radioisotopes within the human body for interpretation by authorized medical personnel. For Nuclear Medicine Imaging Device A. Planar imaging Yes Energy Range (KeV) 30-300 F. Other indication(s) in the device label, but not included in above list To image the distribution of radionuclide in the human body.
Device Description
The Notebook Imager™ system is a gamma camera which consists of an Imaging Head, an Arm and Cart assembly, and SITCO Nuclear Medicine software. The computer consists of a PC, Video Display Terminal, Keyboard, optional Printer and processing Software. The Imaging Head consists of a two-dimensional array of room-temperature, solid-state gamma-ray detectors with readout circuitry for constructing planar images of the emission from radiopharmaceuticals. This array consists of from 1 to 64 identical one-inchby-one-inch imaging modules, each containing 64 (8x8) cadmium-zinctelluride (CZT) semi-conductor detector elements mounted on a multichip submodule. The multichip submodule provides amplification of the input signals and identifies the address of the detector element in which each incoming photon is absorbed.

No
The document describes standard nuclear medicine imaging technology and software for image processing, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for image analysis, interpretation, or any other function.

No
The device is used for imaging and diagnostic purposes (imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the body), not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "intended for use in the generation of clinical images in Nuclear Medicine applications" and "produces images depicting the anatomical distribution of radioisotopes within the human body for interpretation by authorized medical personnel." This process of generating images for interpretation to understand the distribution of radionuclides and their clinical implications is inherently diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an Imaging Head, an Arm and Cart assembly, and a computer with hardware components (PC, Video Display Terminal, Keyboard, optional Printer) in addition to the 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 the device is for generating clinical images in Nuclear Medicine applications by imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the body. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism), not an in vitro application (outside the body, typically on biological samples).
  • Device Description: The description details a gamma camera system designed to detect emissions from radiopharmaceuticals within the human body.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input modality is a gamma camera, which is used for in vivo imaging in Nuclear Medicine.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. This device operates by imaging the distribution of substances within the body.

E. Intended Use:

The Notebook Imager™ is a gamma camera system which is intended for use in the generation of clinical images in Nuclear Medicine applications. Specifically, the Notebook Imager™ is intended to image the distribution of radionuclides in the body. In so doing, the system produces images depicting the anatomical distribution of radioisotopes within the human body for interpretation by authorized medical personnel.

  • Substantial Equivalence: F.
    The Notebook Imager™ has the same intended use, uses the same principle of radiation detection, and has very similar performance characteristics as the predicate devices; the ADAC Transcam, K921296, the Elscint APEX SPX-4, and the SCINTICOR SIM-400, K885054. The main difference is that the Notebook Imager™ uses CdZnTe semiconductor detector elements, which eliminate the conventional Nal crystal, the PMTs, and, as a result, most of the volume and weight of those camera heads and improves substantially the spatial resolution. When compared to the conventional camera system, these changes will have either no effect on the patient's safety, or rather decrease the risk to the patients, because of the reduced weight of the detector.

II. Clinical Tests:

No clinical testing was necessary.
