Device Story
80-row CT system; acquires cross-sectional whole-body images. Inputs: X-ray signals processed via PURE Vision detector and DAS board. Operation: Physician-operated in clinical settings; utilizes PURE Vision Optics (wedge filters) for optimized beam spectrum. Outputs: Cross-sectional volume sets for diagnostic review. Workflow enhancements include variable helical pitch, dual-energy packages, and metal artifact reduction. Benefits: Improved image quality, dose reduction (20-31%), and faster reconstruction speeds compared to predicate. Healthcare providers use output for specialized diagnostic studies; supports clinical decision-making through high-resolution imaging.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated spatial resolution, slice thickness, CT number uniformity, noise, and low-contrast detectability (LCD). Dose reduction study (AIDR 3D Enhanced) supported 51%–75% reduction. PURE Vision Optics study showed 20%–31% dose reduction, 13%–19% LCD improvement (head), 15%–22% LCD improvement (body), and 13% noise reduction. Representative diagnostic images reviewed by a board-certified radiologist confirmed diagnostic quality.

The device is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820 and ISO 13485 Standards. This device is in conformance with the applicable parts of the IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-1-4, IEC60601-1-6, IEC60601-1-6, IEC60601-2-28, IEC60601-2-32, IEC60601-2-44, IEC60825-1, IEC62304, IEC62366, NEMA PS 3.1-3.18, NEMA XR-25 NEMA XR-26 and NEMA XR-29. Additionally, this device complies with all applicable requirements of the radiation safety performance standards, as outlined in 21 CFR §1010 and §1020.
## 17. TESTING
Risk analysis and verification/validation testing conducted through bench testing are included in this submission which demonstrates that the requirements for the modifications made to the system have been met. The modified system was evaluated to assess spatial resolution, axial slice thickness/slice sensitivity profile, CT number magnitude/uniformity, noise properties, low contrast detectability and contrast-to-noise ratio performance and it was determined that the subject device demonstrates equivalent or slightly improved image quality characteristics.
## Quantitative Dose Reduction and Spatial Resolution Evaluation
A dose reduction study was conducted using AIDR 3D Enhanced and based on the results, a dose reduction claim with the range 51% to 75% is supported while simultaneously preserving low contrast detectability and high contrast spatial resolution
## PURE ViSION Optics Quantitative LCD and Noise Improvement
Studies were conducted comparing the subject device with PURE Vision Optics versus the predicate device to assess dose reduction and LCD/Noise improvements using filtered backprojection (FBP) on both systems. The results of the studies demonstrated a quantitative dose reduction of 20%-31%, improvements in low contrast detectability for head (range 13%-19%), improvements in low contrast detectability for body (range 15%-22%) and noise reduction of 13% at the same dose as evaluated via model observer studies (MITA-FDA LCD Head and MITA-FDA LCD Body phantoms).
Representative diagnostic images, reviewed by an American Board Certified Radiologist, including head, chest, abdomen and peripheral exams were also obtained using the subject device which demonstrates that the device produces images of diagnostic quality and; therefore, performs as intended.
Software Documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern, per the FDA guidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices Document" issued on May 11, 2005, is included as part of this submission.
Cybersecurity documentation, per the FDA cybersecurity premarket guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices " issued on October 2, 2014, is also included as part of this submission.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Additionally, testing of the modified system was conducted in accordance with the applicable standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for Medical Devices and CT Systems.
## 18. CONCLUSION
The modifications incorporated into the Aquilion Prime SP TSX-303B/1, v8.4 do not change the indications for use or the intended use of the device. Based upon bench testing, representative clinical images, successful completion of software validation and application of risk management and design controls, it is concluded that the subject device has demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicates and is safe and effective for its intended use.
