Device Description
The Ceph Model 4900 is intended to replace x-ray film in the acquisition of diagnostic cephalometric x-ray images of the skull as are commonly used in orthodontics to measure skeletal changes and monitor oral growth and development. The device works with a cleared x-ray device, along with a specialized collimator and positioning elements that are bundled together and sold as the PanCeph system.
More Information

No
The summary describes a digital x-ray imaging device intended to replace film, focusing on image acquisition and compliance with safety and software standards. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies for image processing or analysis.

No
The device is indicated for individuals requiring extra-oral dental examinations and is used for acquiring diagnostic cephalometric x-ray images, which are used for diagnosis and monitoring, not for therapy.

Yes
The device is described as acquiring "diagnostic cephalometric x-ray images of the skull," which are used to measure skeletal changes and monitor oral growth and development, indicating a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is bundled with a specialized collimator and positioning elements, which are hardware components. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Ceph Model 4900 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Ceph Model 4900 Function: The Ceph Model 4900 is a device used to acquire extra-oral x-ray images of the skull. It replaces traditional x-ray film in this process.
  • Nature of the Examination: The examination is performed directly on the patient's body using an imaging modality (X-ray). It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Ceph Model 4900 falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies

The device has been tested to comply with applicable electrical safety standards required for CE marking. It also complies with FDA documents "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices" and "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". A radiation survey has confirmed that the system, when used with the generator, imparts similar scatter, and less dose as compared to the film predicate.

Schick Ceph Model 4900

Common/Classification Name: "DIGITAL X-RAY EXTRAORAL SOURCE SYSTEM" 21CFR872.1800

Schick Technologies, Inc. 30-00 47th Avenue Long Island City, NY 11101 718-937-5765, 718-937-5962 (FAX) Contact: Daniel Michaeli, Prepared: December 1, 2005

A. Legally Marketed Predicate Devices

KODAK T-MAT G FILM SO-381 (K837506) is a legally marketed predicate receptor that is indicated for cephalometric examinations. The CDR PANX, MODEL 4792 (K031291) is a legally marketed predicate x-ray generator indicated for extra-oral dental exams, and will be utilized as the host generator on the Ceph Model 4900. The integrated software is similar to that utilized in the COMPUTED ORAL RADIOLOGY SYSTEM (K041385).

B. Device Description

The Ceph Model 4900 is intended to replace x-ray film in the acquisition of diagnostic cephalometric x-ray images of the skull as are commonly used in orthodontics to measure skeletal changes and monitor oral growth and development. The device works with a cleared x-ray device, along with a specialized collimator and positioning elements that are bundled together and sold as the PanCeph system.

C. Indications for Use

Ceph Model 4900 is indicated for individuals who require extra-oral dental radiographic examinations.

D. Substantial Equivalence Summary

The Ceph Model 4900 has the similar indications for use and is substantially equivalent to other cephalometric units currently marketed in the U.S (e.g. K837506). The already cleared CDR PANX, MODEL 4792 will be utilized as the

1

extra-oral generator for this device. The device utilizes substantially equivalent software to the COMPUTED ORAL RADIOLOGY SYSTEM.

E. Testing

The device has been tested to comply with applicable electrical safety standards required for CE marking. It also complies with FDA documents "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices" and "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". A radiation survey has confirmed that the system, when used with the generator, imparts similar scatter, and less dose as compared to the film predicate.

F. Conclusions

Schick Technologies has demonstrated through careful analysis and validation studies that the device is substantially equivalent to the already cleared and marketed device.
