BodyTom (NL4000) is a mobile, high-resolution, multi-row, 85cm bore x-ray computed tomography (CT) system. Input: x-ray attenuation data collected via rotating gantry containing solid-state x-ray generator and detector array. Transformation: system uses reconstruction computer to process raw data into tomographic images. Output: 2D, multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), and 3D images displayed on workstation and archived via DICOM/PACS. Used in clinical settings (radiology, ICU, ED, surgical, interventional) by qualified healthcare professionals. Features motorized transport wheels and battery-powered operation (LiPO batteries) for mobility. Includes radiation safeguards (dose reporting, lockout, 110% timer) and quality assurance software. Benefits include portable diagnostic imaging capability for patients requiring CT scans outside traditional radiology suites.

#### (4) Device Description:
The NL4000 BodyTom is essentially a larger bore version of our predicate NL3000 CereTom CT system. It is a high resolution, multi row, 85 cm bore, 60cm field of view, x-ray computed tomography system. The lightweight translating gantry consists of a rotating disk with a solid state x-ray generator, solid state detector array, collimator, control computer, communications link, power slip-ring, data acquisition system, reconstruction computer, power system, brushless DC servo drive system (disk rotation), and stepper drive system (translation). The power system consists of batteries which provide system power while unplugged from the charging outlet. The system software is based upon the CereTom software, however, does not contain application specific software for contrast imaging. In addition, the system has the necessary safety features such as emergency stop switch, x-ray indicators, interlocks, patient alignment laser, and 110 percent x-ray timer. The gantry has retractable rotating caster wheels and electrical drive system so the system can be moved easily to different locations.
#### (5) Intended Use:
The NL4000 BodyTom is intended to be used for non-contrast x-ray computed tomography applications for anatomy that can be imaged in the 85cm aperture.

## 7) General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
All components of the NL4000 BodyTom system subject to Federal Diagnostic Equipment Performance Standard and applicable regulations of 21 CFR Part 1020.30 and 1020.33 are certified to meet those requirements.
An initial report as per 21CFR Part 1002.10 will be filed with the Center for Device and Radiological Health (CDRH).
To minimize electrical, mechanical and radiation hazards, Neurologica adheres to recognized and established industry practices. The NL4000 BodyTom system is designed to meet UL60601-1, IEC 60601-1 and EN 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, IEC 60101-2-28, and IEC 60101-2-32 and IEC 60601-2-44.
Relating to concerns per unnecessary radiation exposure, the BodyTom, like the CereTom, has software safeguards such as: security scanner ID/password log-in, dose display/reporting, lockout to prevent excessive dose, protocol protection, and quality assurance.
