Intended Use
The PaxScan 4030 Medical Digital Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended to replace film/screen or computed radiography in extremity and general-purpose procedures appropriate to the input field of view. This device is intended for use by qualified medical personnel trained in radiology
Device Description
The PaxScan 4030 Medical Digital Imaging System is composed of an amorphous silicon flat planel imager, Pentium based computer, road runner card, trigger board, imaging software and a power supply. The digital imager uses a large-area amorphous silicon sensor array with a gadolinium oxysulfide scintillator. The 40 x 30 cm panel will display high quality images in approximately five seconds over a wide range of dose settings.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a digital imaging system using standard components and image processing, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
This device is an imaging system used to generate radiographic images for diagnostic purposes, not for therapeutic treatment.

No
This device generates radiographic images, which are used by qualified medical personnel for diagnostic purposes, but the device itself does not perform diagnosis. It is an image acquisition system.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a flat panel imager, computer, road runner card, trigger board, and power supply, in addition to the imaging software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The PaxScan 4030 Medical Digital Imaging System is used to generate radiographic images of human anatomy using X-rays. This is an imaging device that works on the body, not with specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for generating radiographic images of human anatomy and replacing film/screen or computed radiography. This aligns with diagnostic imaging, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the PaxScan 4030 Medical Digital Imaging System is a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Nash:

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.

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 Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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 Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
