Intended Use
The CT Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring Option for Advantage Windows is intended to be used by a trained physician for the review and analysis of CT images as an aid in cardiac analysis. It runs on Advantage Windows independent workstations (K913770).
Device Description
A software productivity package that semi-automatically quantified cardiac calcifications by a weighted number instead of manually calculating area of Regions of Interest (ROIs) and the density within each ROI.
More Information

No
The description focuses on semi-automatic quantification and post-processing image analysis, without mentioning AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning or neural networks.

No.
This device is for the 'review and analysis of CT images as an aid in cardiac analysis' and semi-quantifies cardiac calcifications, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "aid in cardiac analysis" and helps quantify cardiac calcifications. While it doesn't directly provide a diagnosis, it offers tools that facilitate the diagnostic process for a trained physician. The mention of "review and analysis of CT images" and "post-processing image analysis" further supports its role in interpreting medical data for diagnostic purposes.

Yes

The device is described as a "software productivity package" that runs on existing workstations and processes CT images. There is no mention of new or modified hardware being part of this submission.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "review and analysis of CT images as an aid in cardiac analysis." This involves analyzing images of the patient's anatomy, not analyzing samples taken from the patient (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: It describes a software package that processes and quantifies information from CT images. This is image analysis, not laboratory testing of biological samples.
  • Input Modality: The input is CT images, which are generated by scanning the patient's body, not by analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The focus is on the cardiac anatomy, which is visualized through imaging.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device operates on images of the body itself, not on biological samples.

Summary of Safety & Effectivenes

This 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness is submitted in accordance with the requirements of: 21 CFR Part 807.87(h).

Identification of submitter:

Larry A. Kroger, Ph.D. (414) 544-3894 Summary prepared 29 May 1998

Product Identification:

Name: CT Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring Option for Advantage Windows

Manufacturer:

General Electric Medical Systems 16800 W. Ryerson Road New Berlin, WI 53151

Marketed Devices: The CT Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring (CACS) option for Advantage Windows is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Elscint Cardiac Scoring Option (K970980).

Indications for Use: CT Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring Option for Advantage Windows is intended to be used by a trained physician for the review and analysis of CT images as an aid in cardiac analysis. It runs on Advantage Windows independent workstations (K913770)

Device Description: A software productivity package that semi-automatically quantified cardiac calcifications by a weighted number instead of manually calculating area of Regions of Interest (ROIs) and the density within each ROI.

Principles of Operation: The same as Advantage Windows 3D. Features:

  • Tools for selecting Regions of Interest; ●
  • Image Selection: manually and/or semi-automatically using EKG data; .
  • Automatic computation of calcium score for individually selected ROI or group of ROIs; .
  • Creation of a report with calcium score .
  • Pre-formatted film output of selected images and patient information; and .
  • Collection of EKG data and statistics with output of selected images with corresponding EKG. .

Accessories: A recording EKG machine is an optional accessory that aids in the review and selection of images for scoring. (i.e. Invivo Research EKG, Millennia Model 3500 Series, K950688.) The EKG device is used to record the patient's EKG during scanning. A time stamp is placed on the EKG data to show when the imaging started. This allows the operator to select images with reduced motion artifacts. Images may also be selected without the use of an EKG.

Adverse Effects on Health: The package itself will not have any adverse effects on health. This tool displays reconstructed CT images and allows the user to perform post-processing image analysis.

Conclusions: The CT Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring (CACS) option for Advantage Windows enhances the current Advantage Windows package by providing the physician a tool for analyzing cardiac images. It is substantially equivalent to analysis packages currently in the marketplace.
