The document focuses on high-speed image reconstruction for real-time visualization and does not mention AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as an "Image Reconstruction System" that "reconstructs 'raw' data into visible images." Its primary function is to provide "real-time visualization of images," which aids in monitoring radiological examinations and maximizing scanning accuracy, not to provide therapy.
No
The device is described as an "image reconstruction system" that acquires medical image data and reconstructs "raw" data into visible images for real-time visualization. Its purpose is to provide immediate visual feedback for monitoring radiological examinations and maximizing scanning accuracy, rather than providing a diagnosis itself. It serves as an alternative means of viewing images, not as a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "stand-alone high performance image reconstruction system" and an "upgrade to existing imaging devices," implying it includes hardware components for image acquisition and reconstruction, not just software.
Based on the provided information, the TeraRecon RTR-2000 Image Reconstruction System 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.
- TeraRecon RTR-2000 Function: The description clearly states that the RTR-2000 system acquires and reconstructs medical image data from imaging devices like CT scanners. It processes images of the body, not samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide real-time visualization of scanned medical images for monitoring radiological examinations and improving scanning accuracy. This is related to image processing and visualization, not laboratory testing of biological samples.
Therefore, the TeraRecon RTR-2000 falls under the category of medical imaging devices or image processing systems, not in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TeraRecon RTR-2000 Image Reconstruction System should be used when it is desirable to view scanned medical images immediately, rather than wait long periods of time for reconstruction. Indications would include monitoring of radiological examinations for patient movement. It is possible that patient movement during the middle of an examination, which may require re-scanning, would not be detected until after the completion of the exam when all of the images are reconstructed and thus visualized. High speed image reconstruction allows for real-time visualization of the images. Such real-time visualization of images gives the immediate visual feedback necessary to monitor the progress of examinations in efforts to maximize scanning accuracy and minimize radiation dose to the patient.
In short, real-time visualization of images is indicated in cases where the user prefers immediate visual feedback as opposed to having to wait long periods of time for image reconstruction.

Device Description: The TERARECON, INC. RTR-2000 real-time image reconstruction system acquires medical image data from such medical imaging devices as CT and reconstructs the "raw" data into visible images. The RTR-2000 system reconstructs images with such high performance that the images This stand-alone high performance image are viewed in real-time. reconstruction system is offered as an upgrade to existing imaging devices, and is not intended to replace the devices' existing reconstruction system. Rather, it is intended to serve as an alternative means of viewing medical images, particularly where real-time visualization of images is beneficial.

Intended Use of this Device: The intended use of the device is to provide solutions to various medical image reconstruction throughput problems through the application of high speed image image processing devices and software, specifically. 2D and 3D reconstructions for CT scanners, MRI scanners and Ultrasound and other related radiological image host systems. It will allow for near real-time viewing, in turn, supporting existing system clinical uses by offering enhanced operator flexibility.
Comparison to Predicate Device: The RTR-2000 is similar to the Toshiba Real-Time Reconstruction System Model TSXF-001A, K950972, in that it is an upgraded version (supplement) of the host viewing system. As in the predicate device, the features provide user flexibility and improvements to the image processing throughput. Other than dramatically speeding up the image reconstruction process, there are no perceived or imagined new intended uses which will affect the safety and effectiveness of the host system.
