The LumaGEM™ gamma camera includes signal analysis and display equipment, equipment supports and accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on traditional gamma camera technology.

No
The device is a diagnostic imaging system (gamma camera) used to measure and image the distribution of radionuclides in the human body, which is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is intended for "measuring and imaging the distribution of radionuclides in the human body by means of photon detection" and that these "images are intended to be interpreted by qualified medical personnel." This process of measuring, imaging, and interpreting to assess the state of the human body is characteristic of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the LumaGEM™ gamma camera includes hardware components such as a scintillator, photomultiplier tubes, signal analysis and display equipment, equipment supports, and accessories. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the LumaGEM™ scintillation camera 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 ("in vitro").
  • LumaGEM™ Function: The LumaGEM™ is a gamma camera system that measures and images the distribution of radionuclides within the human body ("in vivo"). It detects photons emitted from radionuclides that have been administered to the patient.

The device operates by detecting radiation directly from the patient's body, not by analyzing samples taken from the patient. This clearly places it outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description:

The principles of operation and technology incorporated in the LumaGEM™ are equivalent to scintillation gamma cameras which use a combination of a scintillator with photomultiplier tubes as a photon radiation detector. The LumaGEM™ gamma camera includes signal analysis and display equipment, equipment supports and accessories.

Substantial Equivalence Claim:

The LumaGEM™ gamma camera has the same intended use, uses the same principle of radiation detection, and has very similar performance characteristics as the predicate devices; the the ADAC S315 (Transcam), K921296, the Elscint APEX SPX-4, the DIGIRAD Notebook Imager K961104, the Siemens Orbiter and the SCINTICOR System Seventy Five (SIM-400), K885054. The main difference is that the LumaGEM™ camera uses position sensitive photomultiplier tubes, which eliminate a substantial part of the volume and weight of the predicate camera heads and improves substantially the spatial resolution. When compared to the conventional camera system, these changes will either have no effect on the patient's safety, or possibly decrease the risk to the patients, because of the reduced weight of the detector.

Dear Dr. Pratt:

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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been redassified 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, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions 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 (QS) 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. 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/dsma/dsmamain.html".
