What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
Please type in the marketing application/submission number, if it is known. This textbox will be left blank for original applications/submissions. Please provide the device trade name(s). Cartesion Prime (PCD-1 000A/3) V10 .21 Please provide your Indications for Use below. K251370 ? ? ? The device is a diagnostic imaging system that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) systems. The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. The PET component images the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in the patient body. The PET component utilizes CT images for attenuation correction and anatomical reference in the fused PET and CT images. This device is to be used by a trained health care professional to gather metabolic and functional information from the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body for the assessment of metabolic and physiologic functions. This information can assist in the evaluation, detection, localization, diagnosis, staging, restaging, follow-up, therapeutic planning and therapeutic outcome assessment of (but not limited to) oncological, cardiovascular, neurological diseases and disorders. Additionally, this device can be operated independently as a whole body multi-slice CT scanner. AiCE-i for PET is intended to improve image quality and reduce image noise for FOG whole body data by employing deep learning artificial neural network methods […]
