Intended Use
ct42 is intended to be used for viewing, post-processing and quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) images in a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standard format. It enables; Importing Cardiac CT Images in DICOM format Supporting clinical diagnostics by qualitative analysis of the cardiac CT images using display functionality such as panning, windowing, zooming, navigation through series/slices and phases, 3D reconstruction of images including multi-planner reconstructions of the images. Supporting clinical diagnostics by quantitative measurement of the heart and adjacent vessels in cardiac CT images, specifically distance, area, volume and mass Supporting clinical diagnostics by using area and volume measurements for measuring LV function and derived parameters cardiac output and cardiac index in long axis and short axis cardiac CT images. Supporting clinical diagnostics by quantitative measurements of calcified plaques in the coronary arteries (calcium scoring), specifically Agatston and volume and mass calcium scores It shall be used by qualified medical professionals, experienced in examining and evaluating cardiovascular CT images, for the purpose of obtaining diagnostic information as part of a comprehensive diagnostic decision-making process. ct42 is a software application that can be used as a stand-alone product or in a networked environment. The target population for the ct42 is not restricted, however the image acquisition by a cardiac CT scanner may limit the use of the device for certain sectors of the general public. ct42 shall not be used to view or analyze images of any part of the body except the cardiac CT images acquired from a cardiovascular CT scanner.
Device Story
Software application for qualitative and quantitative analysis of DICOM-formatted cardiovascular CT images; used in hospital or private practice environments by qualified medical professionals. Inputs: ECG-gated cardiac CT images. Processing: display tools (panning, zooming, 3D/multi-planar reconstruction); quantitative measurement tools for distance, area, volume, mass, LV function (cardiac output/index), and coronary artery calcium scoring (Agatston, volume, mass). Outputs: visual analysis and quantitative metrics to assist clinicians in diagnostic decision-making. Benefits: provides standardized measurements for cardiac evaluation and plaque assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Software verified and validated according to a Master Software Test Plan to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for defined indications.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image processing system; DICOM compliant; standalone or networked deployment. Features include 3D reconstruction, multi-planar reconstruction, and quantitative measurement tools for cardiac CT. No hardware components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for viewing, post-processing, and quantitative evaluation of cardiovascular CT images. Target population is unrestricted, though limited by cardiac CT scanner acquisition capabilities. Contraindicated for non-cardiac CT images.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Dear Dr. Samarappuli:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting of
{6}------------------------------------------------
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrl/industry/support/index.html.
