Intended Use

The Computed Tomography X-ray system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes, including Axial, Cine, Helical (Volumetric), Cardiac, Spectral, and Gated acquisitions for all ages. These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories. This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of trans-axial and reformatted planes. Further the images can be post processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results. The system is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications for both single kV acquisitions and with the fast kV switching spectral imaging option (GSI). The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy. If the spectral imaging option is included on the system, the system can acquire CT images using different kV levels of the same anatomical region of a patient in a single rotation from a single source. The differences in the energy dependence of the attenuation coefficient of the different materials provide information about the chemical composition of body materials. This approach enables images to be generated at energies selected from the available spectrum to visualize and analyze information about anatomical and pathological structures. GSI provides information of the chemical composition of renal calculi by calculation and graphical display of the spectrum of effective atomic number. GSI Kidney stone characterization provides additional information to aid in the characterization of uric acid versus non-uric acid stones. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to current standard methods for evaluating stone etiology and composition.

Device Story

Discovery CT750 HD is a whole-body CT scanner comprising gantry, table, console, and computer. System acquires X-ray transmission data at multiple angles/planes; reconstructs cross-sectional images. Spectral imaging (GSI) option uses fast kV switching to acquire data at different energy levels in a single rotation; enables material decomposition and effective atomic number calculation. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals. Output includes standard CT images, monochromatic images, and material density maps. GSI feature aids in characterizing renal calculi composition (uric acid vs. non-uric acid). Clinicians use outputs to diagnose disease, trauma, or abnormalities and to plan/monitor therapy. Benefits include enhanced tissue visualization and improved characterization of specific pathologies like kidney stones.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation included 29 subjects for cardiac imaging, assessed by radiologists for diagnostic quality. Additionally, a study of 59 renal stones (20 phantom, 39 in-vivo) compared GSI material density (MD) algorithm results against polarized microscopy/infrared spectrophotometry gold standard. MD images showed 100% sensitivity/accuracy for uric acid vs. non-uric acid stone characterization. HU measurements alone showed 71% sensitivity and 69% accuracy.

Technological Characteristics

Whole-body CT scanner; X-ray source; fast kV switching for spectral imaging (GSI). Compliant with UL 60601-1, IEC 60601-1, 21CFR Subchapter J, and NEMA XR-25. Materials equivalent to existing marketed products. Software-based image reconstruction and material decomposition processing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for head, whole body, cardiac, and vascular CT imaging in patients of all ages. Used for diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for therapy planning/monitoring. Spectral imaging (GSI) option indicated as an adjunct for characterizing renal calculi (uric acid vs. non-uric acid).

### Summary of Additional Testing

In addition to the verification and validation testing successfully completed as required by GE Healthcare's quality system, additional engineering and clinical performance testing was performed to provide the requisite data to substantiate performance claims, revised indications, safety and efficacy, and ultimately substantial equivalence.

#### Engineering Testing

The bench testing used two custom designed phantoms to simulate the cardiac imaging tasks. The test scan techniques used were selected to align with clinically used protocols for cardiac scanning. Statistical analysis of the results demonstrated the significance of the findings.

For coronary plaque modeling the material hydroxyapatite (HAP) was selected because of publications demonstrating that it closely matches the composition of calcified plaques in coronary arteries. To evaluate coronary lumen and plaque visualization, dilute lodine-filled vessels contained in an in-house custom phantom with HAP inserts was used to demonstrate the enhanced assessment capabilities when using GSI cardiac including its material separation capability.

Additionally, three actual clinical cases with an lodine and Calcium MD images and wide range of monochromatic images were shown for comparison.

Testing was also performed to demonstrate the ability for the GSI acquisition to reduce beam hardening artifact in a simulated cardiac environment, and thereby improve CT number accuracy which is important for accurate perfusion calculations. For this test another custom cardiac phantom was utilized. This polyurethane phantom was designed to mimic two heart chambers, an aorta, and a small "myocardial ischemic" defect. The chambers and aorta were filled with water and/or varving concentrations of iodine.

#### Clinical Testing

Sample clinical images were obtained from 29 subjects at 3 sites using the GSI cardiac option under IRB and informed consent. Two radiologists at each site independently assessed, using a Likert scale, the diagnostic quality of the images and additional information from of the output of the GSI cardiac feature (monochromatic + material density images).

The patient population consisted of any patient with known or suspected abnormality involving the heart scheduled for a physician ordered CT exam or who recently had a routine CT scan or cardiac cath procedure within the past 30 days. This patient data was representative of a wide range of heart rates and patient sizes.

{4}------------------------------------------------

3000 N. Grandview Blvd. W-1140 Waukesha, WI 53188

The results demonstrated that the output of the GSI cardiac feature (monochromatic + material density images) provide diagnostic images and include additional information related to material composition obtained as a result of GSI scanning.

Additionally, data from an independent clinical study using GSI to characterize urinary tract stones in a simulated abdominal phantom and with in-vivo patient scans, was submitted.

Twenty stones of pure crystalline composition [Uric acid (UA), struvite, cystine, and calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM)] were assessed in a phantom as well as 11 patients with urinary tract stones were evaluated. UA and non-UA stones were defined using a two-material decomposition (MD-lodine/Water) algorithm. The stone HU was also studied to determine its performance in predicting the composition. Ex-vivo analysis of the stone using polarized microscopy with infrared spectrophotometry served as the gold standard.

Of the 59 verified stones (phantom=20 and patients=39, mean size- 6 mm) there were 16 UA and 43 non-UA type. The material density (MD) images were 100% sensitive and accurate in characterizing UA versus non-UA stones. In patients, Effective Z identified 83% of calcium stones (n=24) and in stones of mixed type it accurately identified the dominant composition. The HU measurements alone were 71% sensitive and 69% accurate in characterizing the UA stones. The results demonstrate that GSI can provide accurate adjunct information that may predict UA and from non-UA stone composition in-vitro and invivo.

#### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

Based on the conformance to standards, development under our quality system, and the engineering and clinical testing provided. GE Medical Systems believes that the Discovery CT750 HD with GSI Cardiac Option is as safe and effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD (K081105).
