Intended Use

The HiSpeed NX/i CT system and HiSpeed options are intended for head and whole body x-ray computed tomography applications.

Device Story

The HiSpeed NX/i CT system is a head and whole body X-ray computed tomography scanner. It consists of a gantry, patient support, operator console, and computer. The system utilizes a solid-state detector to capture X-ray data, which is processed by the computer to generate diagnostic images. It is intended for use in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals. The device provides clinicians with cross-sectional images to assist in diagnostic decision-making. It incorporates software options for enhanced visualization and scoring. The system is designed to perform similarly to existing CT scanners, offering equivalent diagnostic capabilities for patient imaging.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device underwent system verification and validation to ensure performance meets specifications, regulatory requirements, and user requirements. Adherence to industry and international standards (UL/IEC/CSA) was used to control potential electrical, mechanical, fire, and radiation hazards.

Technological Characteristics

Head and whole body CT scanner; solid-state detector; gantry, patient support, and operator console architecture. Materials compliant with 21 CFR Subchapter J and IEC 60601-1. Energy source: X-ray. Connectivity: Operator console interface. Software options include SmartView and SmartScore.

Indications for Use

Indicated for head and whole body x-ray computed tomography applications in patients requiring diagnostic imaging.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Dear Mr. Kroger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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 either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
