The Konica Direct Digitizer, REGIUS MODEL 350 is an X-ray image controller which uses a stimulative phosphor as X-ray detector and controls and manages digital X-ray image file processing.

Device Description

The Konica Direct Digitizer, REGIUS MODEL 350 is an X-ray image controller which uses a stimulative phosphor as X-ray detector and controls and manages digital X-ray image file processing. The system consists of an operator console, an image buffer section (hard disk) and control section. The operator consists of an operation CRT display that has a touch panel function, and a keyboard for entering text. An image file received from an industry-standard X-ray film cassette is processed using automatic tonal processing and is then transferred to an externally connected device including a host computer or CR printer.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Konica Direct Digitizer REGIUS MODEL 350 primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Konica Direct Digitizer REGIUS MODEL 330) based on device description, intended use, and general specifications. It does not contain information regarding detailed acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance or a specific study proving the device meets expert-defined criteria.

This type of submission often relies on demonstrating that the new device performs fundamentally the same as a previously cleared device, rather than requiring a new clinical performance study against established ground truth.

Given the information provided, here's what can be extracted and what is explicitly not available:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

No specific acceptance criteria related to diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) are mentioned in this 510(k) summary. The comparison is primarily focused on technical specifications and functionality with the predicate device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Not provided. This submission does not detail a specific diagnostic performance test set. The evaluation focuses on technical specifications and functional equivalence.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not provided. No explicit test set with ground truth established by experts is mentioned in this document.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not provided. As no dedicated test set for diagnostic performance is described, no adjudication method is mentioned.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a digitizer, transforming X-ray images into digital format. It is not an AI-powered diagnostic tool that assists human readers directly. Therefore, improvement metrics with or without AI assistance are not applicable in this context.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No, this is not an algorithm for diagnostic interpretation. The device's function is to convert X-ray film data into digital signals. The concept of "standalone performance" for diagnostic interpretation does not apply to this device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Not applicable. Since no diagnostic performance study against ground truth is described, no type of ground truth is mentioned. The evaluation is centered on the device's ability to digitize images effectively and its technical specifications compared to a predicate.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This device is an imaging hardware component (a digitizer), not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. As the device is not an AI/ML algorithm, it does not have a training set or associated ground truth.

Summary Explanation:

The 510(k) submission for the Konica Direct Digitizer REGIUS MODEL 350 focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to its predicate device (REGIUS MODEL 330) based on its technical specifications, intended use, and operational principles. The document highlights improvements in cycle time, exposure size, maximum pixels, and elevation stroke, while noting changes in sampling pitch, laser source, and laser power. Crucially, as a digitizer (a device that converts analog X-ray images to digital format), its primary function is not to perform diagnostic interpretations or assist human readers in clinical decision-making. Therefore, the typical performance metrics associated with AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, MRMC studies, or training/test sets for algorithms) are not part of this 510(k) submission. The "study" proving it meets acceptance criteria is implied through the detailed comparison of its engineering specifications against its predicate device, demonstrating that it functions robustly and safely for its intended purpose, which is to digitize X-ray images.

Dear Mr. Yamanaka:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 2, 2002.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting of

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
