Philips Incisive CT on Trailer
Philips Healthcare (Suzhou)
FDA Clearance Information
The Philips Incisive CT on Trailer was cleared via the FDA 510(k) pathway on November 22, 2021. Manufactured by Philips Healthcare (Suzhou), it is classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Diagnostic computed tomography imaging of the body.
- Acquisition of cross-sectional images to support diagnosis and clinical management.
Clinical Applications
- Routine diagnostic CT imaging of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities.
- Evaluation of suspected acute disease or injury when cross-sectional imaging is clinically indicated.
- Imaging performed in hospitals, outpatient facilities, emergency departments, or other appropriately equipped clinical settings.
- CT examinations performed with or without intravenous contrast when ordered and clinically appropriate.
Practical Considerations
- This is a mobile CT system mounted on a trailer; the installation site requires appropriate space, power, environmental controls, radiation shielding, and structural access.
- CT uses ionizing radiation. The examination should be justified and optimized, particularly in children, pregnant patients, and patients requiring repeated scans.
- Intravenous contrast may be used for selected studies, but contrast administration requires screening for allergy risk, kidney function, and other contraindications.
- The system is not an MRI scanner and is not MRI-safe as a device category; patients and staff must follow site-specific MRI safety rules when CT and MRI services are located together.
- Image acquisition and interpretation require trained radiology personnel, appropriate protocols, and integration with the facility's imaging and information systems.
