Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states that the system does not include data analysis capability and relies on existing commercially available software. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No
The device detects radionuclide distribution for analysis and imaging, but it does not describe any direct therapeutic action or medical treatment provided to the patient. It is a diagnostic imaging system.

Yes
The device is described as detecting and imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organs, which is a process used to diagnose medical conditions by revealing internal structures or functions. The mention of "signal analysis and display equipment" and data storage for "analysis" further supports its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "nuclear imaging system" and includes "accessories such as signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories," indicating it is a hardware system with accompanying software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • Device function: The description clearly states the device's intended use is to "detect the location and distribution of gamma ray and positron emitting radionuclides in the body" and "detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ". This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.

Therefore, the NuCamma R* nuclear imaging system is a medical imaging device used for in-vivo (within the living body) procedures, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

INTRODUCTION

This 510(k) Premarket Notification has been prepared to demonstrate that the NuCamma R*, manufactured by IS2 Research Inc., is substantially equivalent to the ISOCAM I gamma camera which has previously underwent the 510(k) premarket notification process. The NuCamma R* nuclear imaging system has a round field of view.

INTENDED USE

The intended use of NuCamma R* is to detect the location and distribution of gamma ray and positron emitting radionuclides in the body and store the data for analysis. This device includes accessories such as signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.

DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The intended use of the two devices is identical except that the NuCamma R' system only detects the location and distribution of the radionuclides in the body. The system does not include data analysis capability. The data is stored and available for transmission to, or retrieval by, existing commercially available data analysis software and accompanying computer equipment.

The NuCamma R* has been deemed safe and effective and is certified to the same electrical safety standards as the predicate device by a third party organization prior to use on patients. A matrix was constructed comparing the features and intended use of the NuCamma R* with the predicate device. We conclude that the NuCamma R is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that no new safety or effectiveness concerns are raised.

Dear Mr. Schultz:

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 enactment 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 of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, against misbranding 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 diagnostic 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmaldsmamain.html".
