More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is used for generating radiographic images for diagnostic procedures, not for therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The AMX-4 Plus Mobile X-ray System is indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy in all general purpose X-ray diagnostic procedures." The term "diagnostic procedures" clearly indicates its role as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an X-ray Generator and Control, X-ray Tube, and Beam Limiting Device, indicating it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The AMX-4 Plus Mobile X-ray System generates radiographic images of human anatomy. This is a form of in vivo (within the body) imaging. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "generating radiographic images of human anatomy." This aligns with imaging, not laboratory testing of samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the AMX-4 Plus Mobile X-ray System is a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Kroger:

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 either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
