Intended Use
The MX-20 is a Cabinet x-ray system that is used to provide film and/or digital x-ray images of harvested specimens from various anatomical regions in order to provide rapid verification that the correct tissue has been excised during the biopsy procedure. Doing the verification directly in the same room or nearby enables cases to be completed faster, thus limiting the time the patient needs to be under examination. Specimen radiography can potentially limit the number of patient recalls.
Device Description
The Faxitron MX-20 Specimen Radiography System is a Cabinet X-ray System specifically designed to provide high detail radiographic imaging of surgically excised medical specimens. The exceptionally high magnification capability (up to 5X) from the 0.02 mm focal spot with optimized cabinet geometry and the superior contrast available from the low kV capability provides enhanced film and/or digital imaging performance. This device supports radiographic film sizes up to 30 x 35 cm and can be configured to acquire high resolution, DICOM compliant, digital x-ray images through the use of an integrated camera and Faxitron Specimen Radiography software.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware (x-ray system, cabinet geometry, focal spot, camera) and basic software for image acquisition and DICOM compliance. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing techniques that would typically indicate the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on compliance with cabinet x-ray system standards and electrical safety, not on algorithmic performance metrics common for AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as a "Specimen Radiography System" used to image harvested specimens for verification purposes. Its function is diagnostic imaging of excised tissue, not directly treating a patient or restoring health.

No

Explanation: The device is used to provide rapid verification that the correct tissue has been excised during a biopsy procedure. While it aids in verification, it does not diagnose a condition or disease in a patient. Its function is to confirm the presence of specific tissue after it has been excised, which is a procedural verification rather than a diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Cabinet X-ray System" and includes hardware components like an integrated camera and supports radiographic film. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the MX-20 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • MX-20 Function: The MX-20 is a cabinet x-ray system used to create images of harvested specimens to verify that the correct tissue has been excised. It is a tool for imaging the specimen after it has been removed from the body.
  • No Analysis of Biological Properties: The device does not analyze the biological or chemical properties of the specimen itself to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health. It provides a visual image for verification purposes.
  • Focus on Imaging, Not Diagnosis: The intended use is for "rapid verification that the correct tissue has been excised," not for diagnosing a disease or condition based on the specimen's characteristics.

While the device is used with biological specimens, its function is to provide an image, not to perform an in vitro diagnostic test on the specimen.
