Intended Use
The Quix Digital Radiography Upgrade is based on a solid state imaging device and is intended for use in general radiographic examinations and applications wherever conventional film-screen systems may be used, excluding mammography, fluoroscopy, and angiography.
Device Description
The Quix Digital Radiography Upgrade enables a conventional film-screen X-ray system to perform digital radiography exams by replacing the film-screen and the film-screen bucky with a digital bucky and operator console. The digital bucky incorporates a selenium-based flat panel detector with 16" x 17" imaging area. Images are displayed in approximately 10 seconds after exposure over a wide range of dose settings. The operator console provides local image storage and communicates with other network devices using DICOM 3.0 protocols.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary mentions "Digital image processing (optimized gray scale)" but does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, nor does it describe any AI/ML-specific training or testing data.

No
This device is for digital radiography, which is an imaging modality used for diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes
The device is used for general radiographic examinations, which are performed to diagnose medical conditions by imaging internal body structures.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes a "digital bucky" which incorporates a "selenium-based flat panel detector," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Quix Digital Radiography Upgrade is an imaging device that captures X-ray images of the inside of the body. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "general radiographic examinations and applications," which involves taking images of the body, not analyzing samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the hardware (flat panel detector, console) and its function in capturing and displaying X-ray images.

Therefore, the Quix Digital Radiography Upgrade falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
