Intended Use

CT Perfusion is an image analysis software package that allows the user to produce dynamic image data and to generate information with regard to changes in image intensity over time. It supports the analysis of CT Perfusion images obtained by cine imaging after the injection of contrast and to calculate the various perfusion related parameters (ie: regional cerebral blood flow, regional cerebral blood valume, time to peak). The results are displayed in user-friendly graphic format as parametric images. This software runs on the Advantage Workstation (AW) platform and will aid physicians in the assessment of the extent and type of brain perfusion disturbances.

Device Story

CT Perfusion is an image analysis software package operating on the Advantage Workstation (AW) platform. It processes dynamic CT cine image data acquired after contrast media injection. The software calculates perfusion-related parameters, specifically regional cerebral blood flow, regional cerebral blood volume, and time to peak. Outputs are presented as parametric images and graphic formats to assist physicians in evaluating brain perfusion disturbances. The device functions as a post-processing tool and does not alter CT scanner imaging performance or radiation dosage.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, software verification, and validation processes.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based image analysis package; runs on Advantage Workstation (AW) platform; utilizes dynamic CT cine imaging data; calculates perfusion parameters (blood flow, blood volume, time to peak); displays data as parametric images and graphs.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by physicians to assess the extent and type of brain perfusion disturbances in patients undergoing CT cine imaging with contrast injection.

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.

| Manufacturer : | General Electric Medical Systems<br>283, rue de la Miniere<br>78533 Buc Cedex, FRANCE |
| Distributor : | General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI |

#### Marketed Devices:

The CT Perfusion is substantially equivalent to the devices listed below:

| Model: | Functool |

| Manufacturer: | General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI |
| 510(k) #: | K960265 |

#### Device Description:

CT Perfusion is an image analysis software package that allows the user to process dynamic image data and to generate information with regard to changes in image intensity over time. It supports the analysis of CT Perfusion images and displays the analysis data in a user friendly graphic format and as parametric (single image that is calculated from a set of time course images at a single location) images.

Application examples include:

- ° characterization of the amount of blood present in a local region.
- ° provides the volume of blood that flows through a cerebral circulation region.
- ° returns the average transit time.

{1}------------------------------------------------

- o characterizes image intensity increase during a dynamic process.
- o allows selection of any time-series or "dynamic" data set.

## Indications for Use :

CT Perfusion is an image analysis software package that allows the user to produce dynamic image data and to generate information with regard to changes in image intensity over time. It supports the analysis of CT Perfusion images obtained by cine imaging after the injection of contrast and to calculate the various perfusion related parameters (ic: regional cerebral blood flow, regional cerebral blood volume, time to peak). The results are displayed in user-friendly graphic format as parametric images. This software runs on the Advantage Workstation (AW) platform and will aid physicians in the assessment of the extent and type of brain perfusion disturbances.

## Comparison with Predicate:

CT Perfusion supports the analysis of perfusion CT images and the display of the data in user-friendly graphs and as parametric images. This package is substantially equivalent to the following devices:

| Device Name | FDA Clearance Number |
|-------------------------------------------|----------------------|
| GEMS Functool | K960265 |
| GEMS CT 9800 Regional Cerebral Blood Flow | 83K0739 |

CT Perfusion images as compared with the CT 9800 Regional Cerebral Blood Flow device are obtained by CT scanning after an injection of contrast media. CT Perfusion is a software postprocessing device and as such does not affect the dosage characteristics or the imaging performance of GEMS CT scanners. The algorithms used to calculate the perfusion parameters are similar to the GEMS CT 9800 Regional Cerebral Blood Flow device.

## Conclusions :

The CT Perfusion option provides processing capability for dynamic image data and to the ability to generate information with regard to changes in image intensity over time. The potential hazards are controlled by a risk management plan including:

- · a Hazard Analysis/Risk Management Summary
- · a Software Development and Validation Process
- · a Software Verification Plan

This product provides images comparable to the predicate device.
