FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date April 8, 2016
Product Code JAK
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Philips Multislice CT System was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on April 8, 2016. It is manufactured by Philips Medical Systems and classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Philips Multislice CT System is a computed tomography device designed to provide high-resolution images for diagnostic purposes. It is intended for use in various clinical settings, including low-dose lung cancer screening and coronary artery assessment.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical scenarios such as lung cancer screening, coronary artery evaluation in congenital heart disease, and artifact reduction in imaging. It provides detailed images that assist in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes 12 studies, comprising randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective studies, and case series. These studies span from 2014 to 2020, providing a comprehensive overview of the device's clinical applications.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report high detection rates for coronary artery assessment in children with congenital heart disease, with proximal segments detected at 97% and distal segments at 81%. The device also shows efficacy in reducing metal artifacts in PET images and improving imaging quality with low tube voltage settings.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include radiation exposure, with younger patients (<3 years) experiencing a mean effective dose of 1.2 mSv. However, the studies indicate that the device operates within acceptable safety parameters for both younger and elder patients.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the small sample sizes in some studies and the need for further research on long-term outcomes and safety in diverse patient populations. Additional studies could enhance understanding of the device's full clinical potential.
