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

No
The device is used for detection and imaging (diagnosis), not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as detecting and imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ to identify their location and distribution, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "accessories such as signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories," indicating hardware components are included. The device itself is described as a "nuclear imaging system" with a "rectangular field of view," which points to a physical imaging device, not just software.

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. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the NuCamma Rx system 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 clearly indicates that the device is used on or within the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Imaging Modality: The input imaging modality is "Gamma ray and positron emitting radionuclides," which are administered to the patient and detected externally. This is characteristic of in vivo imaging, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, the NuCamma Rx nuclear imaging system is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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)

INTRODUCTION

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

INTENDED USE

The intended use of NuCamma Rx 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 Rx 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 Rx 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 companing the features and intended use of the NuCamma Rx with the predicate device. We conclude that the NuCamma Rx 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 provisions of the general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing 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 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 531 through 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.
