More Information

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the description focuses on standard CT technology and components.

No
A CT Scanner System is a diagnostic imaging device, not a therapeutic device. It is used to create images for diagnosis, not to treat diseases or conditions.

Yes
The device is a CT scanner, which is used to produce images of the body's internal structures. These images are then interpreted by medical professionals to diagnose various conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components such as a gantry, patient table, console, and computer, in addition to 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 "head and whole body x-ray computed tomography applications." This describes an imaging device used to visualize internal structures of the body, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description details components like a gantry, patient table, console, and computer, which are typical of a CT scanner used for imaging patients directly.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device is used for in vivo imaging.

Dear Mr. Kroger:

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 indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the easetment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to 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, issing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Fecteral Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product 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 vitro disgnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
