Intended Use

cfrQuant is intended for quantification of absolute myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve when applied to diagnostic cardiac PET imaging in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. The cfrQuant coronary flow reserve (CFR) quantification software quantifies blood flow in the myocardial wall of the heart's left ventricle based on positron emission tomography (PET) images of radionuclide tracer distribution. The product is intended for use by trained professionals, such as nuclear technicians and nuclear medicine or nuclear cardiology physicians. The clinician remains ultimately responsible for the final assessment and diagnosis based on standard practices and visual interpretation of all PET data. The software accepts cardiac PET images of either N-13 ammonia or Rb-82 tracer uptake during two physiologic states: baseline (rest) and increased blood flow (stress). A mathematical model computes absolute myocardial perfusion (flow per mass of tissue, or cc/min/gm) at rest and stress. The ratio of stress-torest flow is termed the coronary flow reserve (CFR). Visual displays of absolute flow and CFR as well as their numeric quantification are presented to aid diagnostic interpretation of myocardial PET images.

Device Story

Software package for nuclear medicine/cardiology; processes cardiac PET images (N-13 ammonia or Rb-82) acquired at rest and stress. Inputs: PET tracer uptake images; ROI-based arterial activity from thoracic aorta/left atrium; scanner-specific partial volume correction factors. Operation: Mathematical model (validated via animal microsphere studies) calculates absolute myocardial perfusion (cc/min/g) and CFR (stress/rest ratio). Output: Visual maps and numeric quantification of flow/CFR. Used in clinical settings by physicians/technicians to aid diagnostic interpretation of myocardial PET images. Assists clinicians in assessing coronary artery disease; final diagnosis remains clinician responsibility.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Device relies on a mathematical flow model previously validated using microspheres in animal studies (Yoshida, Mullani and Gould, J Nuc Med 37:1701, 1996).

Technological Characteristics

Software-only device; runs on standard industrial computing hardware. Implements mathematical model for absolute myocardial perfusion calculation. Inputs: PET tracer uptake images, ROI-based arterial activity, scanner-specific correction factors. Output: Quantitative flow maps and numeric values.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease undergoing diagnostic cardiac PET imaging to quantify absolute myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve.

Regulatory Classification

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.

General description: The coronary flow reserve (CFR) quantification (cfrQuant) system is a software package intended for use by nuclear medicine and nuclear cardiology physicians and technologists to perform clinical quantitative analysis on cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) image data. Archiving of output data will be supported for clinical diagnostics, quality control, and research.

cfrQuant calculates absolute myocardial blood flow in cc/min/g using a twodimensional topographical map of PET tracer uptake and an integrated arterial input value. Absolute myocardial flow is calculated from a mathematical flow model validated using microspheres in animals (see Yoshida, Mullani and Gould in J Nuc Med 37:1701, 1996).

To compute CFR, three inputs are required: integrated arterial activity in the early part after bolus injection, average myocardial activity in the late part after bolus injection, and correction factors for partial volume effects of the PET scanner. The first number comes from a region of interest (ROI) drawn in the thoracic aorta or left atrium on images taken soon after radionuclide bolus administration. The second number comes from the topographic maps of myocardial uptake produced by the Positron CARDIAC software. The third number varies by PET camera and will be initialized in a user preference file.

## Dear Dr. Gould:

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, listing 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 Parti807); labeling (21 CFR:Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

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.
