Intended Use
The Imatron EBT scanner system -- when used angiographically -- is intended to combine the capabilities of both a CT and angiography system. When used for this purpose, the system is intended to perform Electron Beam Angiography, i.e., "EBA". More specifically, the EBT system is intended: - 1. to function as a diagnostic x-ray system to produce two and three dimensional images of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system from a volume of computer reconstructed cross-sectional images from x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles; - 2. to permit radiologic visualization during or after injection of a contrast medium; and - 3. to permit the transmission data from certain three dimensional images to also be presented in time-sequenced or cine fashion. Finally, such system is intended to be used consistent with those already classified and set forth in 21 CFR Sections 892.1600 and 892.1750.
Device Description
Imatron's current EBT scanner system, i.e., the CT system to be used for CT Angiography, is composed of essentially two subsystems, i.e., a CT scanner (and its associated components, parts, and accessories) and a workstation (and its associated components, parts, and accessories). Imatron's scanner operates by directing a focused beam of electrons along tungsten target rings to produce X-rays which pass through the human body at multiple angles as in conventional CT scanning systems. Such EBT scanner is capable of producing CT slices at rapid speeds since the data is produced by electronic rotation of the electron beam itself rather than the mechanical rotation of an X-ray tube as in conventional CT scanning systems. The EBT system's workstation is either directly incorporated into and physically a part of the system or is indirectly incorporated into the system via a data connection port. Such workstations are all able to receive EBT cross-sectional images (either through a direct connection or through a DICOM 3.0 or higher compatible interface) and have a cleared intended use which includes being able to produce 3 and/or 4 dimensional volume imaging (including, among other functions, volume rendering, surface rendering, maximum intensity projections, or reformatting).

No
The document describes a CT scanner system and workstation focused on image acquisition, reconstruction, and visualization techniques like volume rendering and reformatting. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The technology described is consistent with traditional CT and angiography systems.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce images of the body for visualization, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

Yes

The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states that the system is intended "to function as a diagnostic x-ray system to produce two and three dimensional images of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system".

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of a CT scanner (hardware) and a workstation (hardware and software). It describes the physical operation of the CT scanner using electron beams and X-rays.

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 that the Imatron EBT scanner system is an x-ray system that produces images of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system from x-ray transmission data. This is an in vivo diagnostic imaging technique, meaning it is performed on a living organism.
  • Intended Use: The intended use focuses on producing images for diagnostic visualization, not on analyzing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device description details the components of a CT scanner and workstation, which are used for generating and processing medical images, not for performing laboratory tests on biological specimens.

Therefore, the Imatron EBT scanner system, as described, falls under the category of medical imaging devices rather than in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use:

The Imatron EBT scanner system -- when used angiographically -- is intended to combine the capabilities of both a CT and angiography system. When used for this purpose, the system is intended to perform Electron Beam Angiography, i.e., "EBA".

More specifically, the EBT system is intended:

    1. to function as a diagnostic x-ray system to produce two and three dimensional images of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system from a volume of computer reconstructed cross-sectional images from x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles;
    1. to permit radiologic visualization during or after injection of a contrast medium; and
    1. to permit the transmission data from certain three dimensional images to also be presented in time-sequenced or cine fashion.

Finally, such system is intended to be used consistent with those already classified and set forth in 21 CFR Sections 892.1600 and 892.1750.

Technological Characteristics:

The Imatron EBT scanner system is a combination of a CT and an angiography system.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

The Imatron EBT scanner system and its components are subject to the Federal Diagnostic Equipment Performance Standard and applicable requirements of 21 CFR Sections 1020.30, 1020.31, 1020.32 and 1020.33 and are certified to meet those requirements. All reports required for such new device have been filled with CDRH. To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Imatron complies with pertinent recognized and established industry practice, including ISO 9001: Quality System (ANSI/ASQC 29001-

3

1994); EN 46001; Application of EN ISO 9001 To The Manufacture Of Medical Devices; EN 60601-1 Electrical-Technical Safety; Council Directive 93/42/EEC: Medical Device Directive; and Council Directive 89/336/EEC: Electro-Magnetic Compatibility.

Substantial Equivalence:

A computed tomography x-ray system is defined as a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. (21 CFR Section 892.1750). This generic type of device may also include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories. The Imatron EBT scanner system here in question is not just substantially equivalent to the "1750" systems; it is identical to the prior Imatron Ultrafast CT scanner system which has been repeatedly cleared by FDA as being a "1750" device and, thus, able to be offered for sale in interstate commerce. There are no differences between the two device systems (except that the focus of this submission is to be used for CT Angiography).

An angiographic x-ray system is defined as a device intended for radiologic visualization of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system during or after injection of a contrast medium. (21CFR Section 892.1600). This generic type of device may also include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts and accessories. As indicated above, the CT scanner system here in question has already been cleared (various times) as a CT x-ray system under Section 1750. It logically follows then that such system is 1. an x-ray system, 2. a device intended for radiologic visualization, and 3. capable of producing x-ray images of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic system (since all "1750" devices are cleared to x-ray

4

image every part of the human "body" ). CT scanner systems (i.e. "1750" systems) have been used for decades in association with contrast media; thus, that use too is an inherent use within the scope of current clearance of a "1750" device.

Thus, the Imatron EBT scanner system here in question is substantially similar to all "1600" type devices. It differs principally only in its ability to function in "UltraFast" fashion, i.e., to take its images faster than does a typical scanner system.
