Intended Use
PaX-Primo is a digital panoramic dental X-ray imaging system that uses a CMOS detector for a real time digital image acquisition. It is intended for producing diagnostic X-ray radiographic images of skull, dentition, and oral smictures of the patient population targeting men. women and children. The device is operated and used by physicians. dentists and X-ray technologists.
Device Description
PaX-Primo diagnostic equipment is a dental panoramic X-ray system which consists of X-ray generator, X-ray controller, X-ray beam limiting device, image process unit and exposure switch. This device utilizes a high voltage generator to generate X-ray by inputting energy to the anode and the cathode. The X-ray is exposed on the oral maxillofacial area of a patient before reaching CMOS digital sensor. The CMOS sensor converts resulting X-ray into clectrical charge. The clectrical pattern is further converted to voltage and a digital signal which is interpreted by a computer to produce a digital image.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard digital X-ray system with image processing, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a "digital panoramic dental X-ray imaging system" intended for "producing diagnostic X-ray radiographic images," indicating its use for diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for producing diagnostic X-ray radiographic images." The "Device Description" also refers to it as "PaX-Primo diagnostic equipment."

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an X-ray generator, X-ray controller, X-ray beam limiting device, image process unit, exposure switch, and CMOS digital sensor. This indicates it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • PaX-Primo's Function: The description clearly states that PaX-Primo is a digital panoramic dental X-ray imaging system. It uses X-rays to create images of the patient's skull, dentition, and oral structures directly on the patient. It does not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, PaX-Primo falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Kim:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 24, 2010.

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

5

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). 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 Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
