Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.6)
“The Cartesion Prime (PCD-1000A/3) V10.21 combines a high-end CT and a high-throughput PET designed to acquire CT, PET and fusion images.”
source quote (p.6)
“The subject device incorporates the latest reconstruction technology, AiCE-i for PET (Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine- integrated), intended to improve image quality and reduce image noise for FDG whole body data by employing deep learning artificial neural network methods which can more fully explore the statistical properties of the signal and noise of PET data.”
source quote (p.10)
“Cybersecurity documentation, per the FDA guidance document “Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions”, issued on September 27, 2023, was included in this submission.”

Reported performance (0 observations)
FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.
Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.
