Intended Use

The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) integrated with an attenuation device consisting of an x-ray generator. The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is intended for use in the generation of cardiac studies, including planar and SPBCT studies, in nuclear medicine applications. Cardius 3 X-ACT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT Images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with x-ray transmission data that may also be corrected for scatter.

Device Story

Cardius 3 X-ACT is a gamma camera system for SPECT imaging with integrated x-ray-based attenuation correction (AC). System inputs: emission data from SPECT scans and transmission data from a low-dose x-ray generator. Operation: patient sits in a rotating chair; system acquires emission and transmission scans in the same imaging plane. Processing: proprietary software uses iterative reconstruction to combine SPECT data and attenuation maps to produce AC and non-AC images. Output: reconstructed SPECT volumes saved to database for physician review. Usage: clinical setting; operated by nuclear medicine personnel. Clinical impact: provides attenuation-corrected images to assist in interpreting cardiac studies; original SPECT data remains available for review.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing conducted per radiation measurement guidelines. Internal testing and clinical images demonstrated equivalent efficacy to predicate devices. No clinical trial data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Gamma camera system with solid-state detectors. Features integrated low-dose x-ray generator for transmission-based attenuation correction. Patient interface includes a rotating chair. Software-based iterative reconstruction algorithm. System is designed for SPECT imaging with attenuation and scatter correction.

Indications for Use

Indicated for nuclear medicine cardiac studies, including planar and SPECT imaging, in patients requiring diagnostic cardiac evaluation.

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.

#### D. Cleared/Predicate Devices

The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is substantially equivalent to the following cleared devices:

BrightView VCT Imaging System cleared April 11, 2008 under K080927 for Philips (1) Medical Systems

Cardius 3 XPO Imaging System cleared March 23, 2007 under K070542, and (2) September 12, 2008 under K082368 for Digirad Corporation.

#### E. Device Description

The Cardius® 3 X-ACT Imaging system is a gamma camera for the acquisition and processing of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as well as correcting attenuation artifacts associated with these Emission studies. The device consists of an x-ray generator integrated with the previously cleared Cardius 3 XPO triple head SPECT system to provide attenuation correction functionality. The attenuation correction functionality will be included with the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system, or offered as an accessory for previously purchased Cardius 3 XPO systems that are configured to accept the attenuation correction functionality.

The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging system is designed to provide extended imaging functionality relative to the current Cardius XPO series imagers. A typical patient study comprises an emission (SPECT) study followed by a transmission study. The SPECT study is acquired using the similar system hardware and software technology as a Cardius-3 XPO imaging system. For the transmission study, the low dose x-ray generator is used to produce an attenuation map that is used for attenuation correction (AC) of the emission data. An iterative reconstruction technique then uses the attenuation map and the SPECT data as input, and the

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

AC and non-AC reconstructed volumes are saved in the database for physician review. The attenuation correction data provided is additional information that may be reviewed by the interpreter. The original SPECT data remains available to the interpreter.

#### F. Intended Use

The intended use is the same as the predicate devices. The Cardius 3 X-ACT Imaging System is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) integrated with an attenuation device consisting of an x-ray generator. Cardius 3 X-ACT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT Images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with x-ray transmission data that may also be corrected for scatter.

#### ে Technology

The Philips Medical Systems BrightView VCT imaging system (K080927) and Digirad's Cardius 3 XPO (K070542 and K082368) predicate devices have similar technology (gamma camera for SPECT imaging and x-ray based attenuation correction), and the same intended use as the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system. In Cardius 3 X-ACT, Digirad's internally developed proprietary algorithms are implemented using software technology. A low-dose xray generator is used for attenuation correction. Digirad's solid state detectors are used to acquire both emission (SPECT) and transmission scans. The transmission and emission scans share the same imaging plane. The patient sits upright in a chair that rotates to acquire both emission and transmission scans.

#### H. Testing

Verification and Validation tests were conducted to demonstrate the Cardius 3 X-ACT functioned as per its specifications. Bench testing was done per guidelines for radiation measurements. All tests passed with the actual results substantially matching the expected results. The testing shows Cardius 3 X-ACT meets the design specifications, which are similar to the predicate device functional specifications. Digirad internal testing and clinical images obtained with the Cardius 3 X-ACT imaging system have demonstrated equivalent efficacy to the predicate devices, and did not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness.

#### I. Conclusion

Testing results demonstrate that the Cardius 3 XPO Imaging System meets the specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, based on comparisons of intended use and technology, and overall system performance.
