More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a data acquisition and transfer device with a microprocessor and simple GUIs, with no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing.

No
The device is described as a computer interface for acquiring and transferring data from gamma cameras, which is used for imaging. It does not perform any therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as a computer interface that acquires and transfers data from gamma cameras to a processing computer. It is not stated to interpret or analyze the data for diagnostic purposes itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "acquisition hardware" which is a "microprocessor-based system" and is separate from the host personal computer. This indicates the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the NumaStation is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The NumaStation's intended use is to acquire and transfer data from gamma cameras used in nuclear medicine imaging. This process involves detecting radiation emitted from a patient after they have been administered a radioactive tracer. It's an in vivo (within the living body) imaging technique, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic test.

The NumaStation is a component of a nuclear medicine imaging system, which is a type of medical imaging equipment, not an IVD.

§ 892.1200 Emission computed tomography system.

(a)
Identification. An emission computed tomography system is a device intended to detect the location and distribution of gamma ray- and positron-emitting radionuclides in the body and produce cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of the data. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.(b)

9.0 Introduction

This document is intended to be in accordance with the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 providing a summary of the information used to determine safety and effectiveness of the NumaStation nuclear medicine data acquisition system.

9.1 Substantial Equivalence

The NumaStation has been shown to be safe and effective because of its substantial equivalence to a predicate device: the Gamma 600t (K923736) from Strichman Medical Equipment, Incorporated.

  • In both products the acquisition hardware is a microprocessor-based system and is . separate from the host personal computer. This design is used to insure that integrity of the time-critical aspects of the data acquisition (time marks and ECG gate pulses) is kept independent of the personal computer operating system.
  • . Both the NumaStation and the Gamma 600t use simple, window-based GUIs to provide the nuclear medicine technologist with a comfortable work environment that insures reliable use of the system.
  • . The intended use of the NumaStation is as a conduit for nuclear medicine data. After acquisition of the data on the NumaStation, it is transferred through a variety of possible connectivity options to a third party workstation for processing. The Gamma 600t has similar third party connectivity designed in as well.

Dear Mr. Larson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the included in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranting and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus. permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in yitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
