- Orthopedic Neuro Abdominal Vascular Thoracic Cardiac
The Veradius device is a Mobile C-arm X-ray System designed for medical applications during diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures.
The device consists mainly of two parts: the C-arm stand (comprising X-ray generator and X-ray tube, Flat Detector and the X-ray control user interface) and the mobile viewing station (comprising the image processor, monitors, mains control unit, an user interface for image/patient handling and optionally an integrated workstation).
All movements of the C-arm stand are manual except the height movement. The Mobile viewing station can be used standalone for reviewing and archiving purposes,
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Veradius device, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies:
It's important to note that the provided 510(k) summary is for a new version of a mobile C-arm X-ray system, where the primary change is the Image Detection Subsystem (IDS), specifically replacing an Image Intensifier with a Flat Detector. The summary emphasizes substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Pulsera K061685). Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" are primarily focused on demonstrating that the new component (IDS) does not compromise image quality or safety and maintains the same intended use as the predicate.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of this 510(k) summary (substantial equivalence for a component change), the acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in quantitative metrics like sensitivity/specificity for a diagnostic AI. Instead, they relate to overall image quality and functional equivalence to the predicate device.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Maintain or Improve Image Quality compared to predicate device. (This is the core functional acceptance criterion due to the change in the IDS from Image Intensifier to Flat Detector.) | "Based on comparison between images pairs taken during non-clinical performance tests with the Veradius and its predicate device, it can be concluded that the Image Quality is equal or even better." (Page 3, Section 8)The new IDS detects X-rays and converts them to digital images, applying calibration to obtain required data, functionally similar to the predicate's IDS. (Page 2, Section 5) |
| No new indications for use. | "The Veradius does not introduce any new indications for use..." (Page 2, Section 7)"Indications for Use are equal to Pulsera." (Page 3, Table 1, Row 9)The Indications for Use statement on Page 5 is identical to the general description of the predicate's use. |
| No new potential hazards or effects on safety. | "Nor does the use of the device result in any new potential hazard." (Page 2, Section 7)"The new technologic characteristic does not affect safety or introduce any new type of hazards." (Page 2, Section 7)"A product risk management is executed and all risks are reduced to an acceptable level by implementation and verification of appropriate measures." (Page 3, Section 9)The Level of Software concern is MODERATE (Page 3, Section 9). |
| Maintain substantial equivalence to predicate device. | "Philips Medical Systems Nederland BV considers the Veradius to be substantially equivalent with the predicate device." (Page 2, Section 7)"Results of the conducted tests conclude that the Veradius is substantial equivalent to its predicate device." (Page 3, Section 8) |
| Function as intended for specified applications. | The device is intended for "radiological guidance and visualization during diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures on all patients, except babies," across various applications (Orthopedic, Neuro, Abdominal, Vascular, Thoracic, Cardiac). (Page 2, Section 6 and Page 5, Indications for Use)Non-clinical and clinical tests were performed to "verify and validate the system functionality for the intended use." (Page 3, Section 8) |
Study Details from the Provided Text:
This document is a premarket notification (510(k)), not a detailed study report. As such, it provides summary statements rather than in-depth methodological details of the studies.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The text mentions "comparison between images pairs taken during non-clinical performance tests." This implies a set of images was used, but the quantity is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The study is described as "non-clinical performance tests." This suggests the data was likely generated in a controlled, engineering-focused environment within Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. (The Netherlands, where the manufacturer is located). Given it's a "non-clinical" test, it likely involved phantoms or standardized test objects, not patient data in the clinical sense of "retrospective or prospective."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not mentioned.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not mentioned. This type of detail is usually found in a full study report, which is not this document. Since the evaluation was likely "non-clinical performance tests" focused on image quality comparison, it may not have required formal adjudication of clinical diagnoses.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC study was not explicitly mentioned or described. The performance evaluation focuses on "Image Quality is equal or even better" based on the "comparison between images pairs taken during non-clinical performance tests." This typically implies objective measurements or subjective comparison by engineers/specialists, not a formal MRMC study involving human readers diagnosing clinical cases with and without AI assistance (as this is an X-ray system, not an AI diagnostic tool in the modern sense).
6. If a Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only) Was Done
- Standalone Performance: The description of "non-clinical performance tests" to evaluate "Image Quality" of the new "Image Detection Subsystem (IDS)" is essentially a standalone performance evaluation of the system's image acquisition and processing capabilities. The IDS itself is an algorithm-driven component (converting X-rays to digital images and applying calibration). However, it's not "algorithm only" in the sense of a pure AI diagnostic software; it's a core hardware/software component of the imaging chain.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)
- Type of Ground Truth: Not explicitly stated. For "non-clinical performance tests" assessing "Image Quality," the ground truth likely involved:
- Objective image quality metrics: Such as spatial resolution, contrast-to-noise ratio, modulation transfer function (MTF), dose efficiency, etc., measured using phantoms.
- Reference images: Comparison against images produced by the predicate device under identical conditions, or against established standards for image quality.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable in the context of advanced AI models that require large training datasets. The "Veradius" is a C-arm X-ray system with a new detector, not an AI diagnostic algorithm that learns from vast image datasets to identify pathologies. The "IDS" performs image conversion and calibration, which are rule-based or empirically derived processes, not deep learning-based training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable for the same reasons as #8. The "training" of such a system would involve engineering and calibration procedures during design and manufacturing, not data-driven machine learning.
Summary Takeaway:
This 510(k) emphasizes substantial equivalence for a physical device (mobile C-arm X-ray system) with a component change (detector type). The "studies" mentioned are "non-clinical performance tests" designed to show that the new detector either maintains or improves image quality and that the overall system remains as safe and effective as its predicate. It is not an AI diagnostic device, so many of the requested details concerning AI-specific study methodologies (MRMC, large training sets, expert consensus for ground truth) are not present in this type of submission.

7) Technological characteristics and substantial equivalence
The Veradius does not introduce any new indications for use, nor does the use of the device result in any new potential hazard. Philips Medical Systems Nederland BV considers the Veradius to be substantially equivalent with the predicate device.
The Veradius is a mobile X-ray system consisting of components mention in Table 1 Device Comparison.
All units are the same as in the predicate device and known to FDA, except 4 and 5.
Image Detection Subsystem
The Image Detection Subsystem (IDS) is new. For the Veradius the IDS based on an Image Intensifier is replaced by an IDS with a Flat Detector. The IDS detect X-rays and convert them to digital images, and apply calibration to obtain the required data.
The function (intended use) of the Image Detection Subsystem is not different from its predicate device. Only the technologic characteristics are different.
The new IDS consist out of an anti scatter grid, a flat dynamic X-ray detector and a detector controller. The new technologic characteristic does not affect safety or introduce any new type of hazards.
