Intended Use

The AMX5 and AMX5D are indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy in all general purpose X-ray diagnostic procedures. It may be used in radiology departments, emergency rooms, intensive care units, operating rooms, pediatrics, orthopedics, and clinics.

Device Description

The AMX5 is a power driven mobile unit including an X-ray generator, X-ray tube, and beam limiting device, along with control electronics for the drive mechanism, and embedded software. The AMX5D is the same as the AMX5 but is used in conjunction with a portable digital X-ray detector.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the AMX5 and AMX5D Mobile X-ray Systems states that "Clinical Tests: None required." These devices are considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device (AMX4 Plus Mobile X-ray system, K021016) based on comparable technological characteristics, safety, and effectiveness. Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and studies to prove meeting them, in the typical sense of a new technology demonstrating diagnostic performance, is not applicable in this case.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating equivalence through:

  • Safety Standards: The devices were "evaluated for electrical, mechanical, and radiation safety, and conforms with applicable medical device safety standards." Compliance was verified through independent evaluation with factory surveillance.
  • Intended Use and Technology Comparison: The AMX5 and AMX5D have the "same intended uses; incorporate the same technology; and use similar design, construction, materials, and features as the legally marketed AMX 4 Plus Mobile X-ray system."

Since no clinical studies were deemed necessary, there is no information available within the provided text for the following:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  4. Adjudication method for the test set
  5. Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study
  6. Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study
  7. The type of ground truth used
  8. The sample size for the training set
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Device Name:AMX5 and AMX 5D Mobile X-ray SystemsMobile X-ray System, 21CFR892.1720 (90IZL)
Marketed Device:AMX4 Plus Mobile X-ray system described in 510(k) No. K021016, currently in

commercial distribution.

Device Description: The AMX5 is a power driven mobile unit including an X-ray generator, X-ray tube, and beam limiting device, along with control electronics for the drive mechanism, and embedded software. The AMX5D is the same as the AMX5 but is used in conjunction with a portable digital X-ray detector.

Indications for Use: The AMX5D are indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy in all general purpose X-ray diagnostic procedures. It may be used in radiology departments, emergency rooms, intensive care units, operating rooms, pediatrics, orthopedics, and clinics.

Comparison with Predicate Device: The AMX5 and AMX5D are of a comparable type and substantially equivalent to the currently marketed AMX4 Plus Mobile X-ray system. They have the same technological characteristics and are comparable in key safety and effectiveness features. They use the same basic design, construction, and materials, and have the same intended uses as the predicate device.

Summary of Studies: The device has been evaluated for electrical, mechanical, and radiation safety, and conforms with applicable medical device safety standards.

Clinical Tests: None required.

Conclusion: Intended uses and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice, FDA quidelines, and established methods of patient examination. The AMX5 and AMX5D have the same intended uses; incorporate the same technology; and use similar design, construction, materials, and features as the legally marketed AMX 4 Plus Mobile X-ray system. The devices conform to applicable medical device safety standards and compliance is verified through independent evaluation with factory surveillance. Therefore, it is the opinion of GE Medical Systems that the AMX5D Mobile X-ray Systems are substantially equivalent with respect to safety and effectiveness to devices currently cleared for market.
