The device description focuses solely on the physical components and function of an inflatable positioning cushion, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device's intended use is for comfortable, anatomically correct patient positioning during Scintimammography, not for treating a disease or condition. Its function is supportive and for imaging, similar to the predicate devices provided which are also positioning aids.
No
The device is a positioning cushion designed for patient comfort during scintimammography procedures, and it does not perform any diagnostic functions like image analysis or disease detection.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as foam cushions, inflatable cushions, Velcro straps, inflatable straps, and a blower, indicating it is a hardware device with potentially some software control for the blower, but not a software-only device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Inflatable Positioning Cushion is a physical device used to position a patient comfortably and correctly during a medical imaging procedure (Scintimammography). It does not analyze any biological samples or provide diagnostic information itself. Its purpose is to facilitate the imaging process.
The device description clearly indicates it's a positioning aid for a nuclear imaging table, not a test performed on a biological sample.

Device Description
The Inflatable Positioning Cushion is designed to be used on a standard nuclear imaging table with cradle dimensions of 80" long by 14" wide, such as the SPECT Table manufactured by Medical Imaging Electronics. The Inflatable Positioning Cushion is comprised of a Head Section and Abdominal Section, containing foam cushions and inflatable cushions, and a Lower Body Section of foam cushions. The cushions are secured to the nuclear imaging table with Velcro straps and inflatable straps that wrap underneath the table. The blower for the inflatable cushions is in a separate enclosure that can hang at the end of the nuclear imaging table or sit on the floor.

The text is arranged in two lines, with "20 new replacement" on the first line and "table pads!" on the second line. The font is bold and sans-serif, and the text is centered in the image.
- · Substantially reduces lower back pain during long procedures!
- Helps reduce patient movement—you work faster!
- Radiolucent and artifact free
20am represents a unique breakthrough in pressure distribution! Immobilized patients often experience lower back discomfort and painful pressure during long procedures, such as cardiac cath, angiographies and hypertensive IVPs. The lumbar region is not supported well by ordinary table pads. Patients react by moving to relieve the pain and pressure-blurring images and complicating procedures. T-Foam precisely molds to each patient's contours to provide a total contact resting surface-eliminating lower back discomfort and painful pressure. Patient comfort soars. Procedures are completed quickly and efficiently.
Image /page/1/Picture/6 description: The image shows an advertisement for T-Foam. The text in the advertisement says "T-Foam fits every need in Imaging". The background of the advertisement is dark and blurry, but it appears to be a medical image.
Image /page/1/Picture/7 description: The image shows a comparison of pressure distribution with and without a T-Foam Pad. The top half of the image shows dangerous high-pressure peaks, while the bottom half shows safe, distributed pressure with the T-Foam Pad. The text indicates that the T-Foam Pad helps to reduce peak pressure safely.
T-Foam pads are radiolucent. They are 11/2"thick and are covered wi. blue nylon cover with water resistant seams.
