Intended Use
The Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA is an X-ray image reader which uses a stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a separate cassette. It reads the image recorded on the Plate and transfers the image data to an externally connected device such as a host computer, an order input device, an image display device, a printer, an image data filing device, and other image reproduction devices. It is designed and intended to be used by trained medical personnel in a clinic, a radiology department in a hospital and in other medical facilities. This device is not intended for use in mammography.
Device Description
The Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA is a compact X-ray image reader which uses a stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a cassette, and reads the image recorded on the Plate by inserting a cassette in the entrance slot of this device. By means of laser scan and photoelectric method, this device reads the X-ray image data created in form of a latent image on the Plate exposed by an external X-ray generating device, and converts the read data into digital. The device is comprised of a reading unit with cassette containing Plate. The image data transfer to an externally connected device such as a host computer, an order input device, an image display device, a printer, an image data filing device, and other image reproduction devices. The basic operations of REGIUS SIGMA such as a starting, a shut down, a registration-of-patient, a setting of a various condition are operated with the Medical Image Processing Workstation, ImagePilot (operator console) which is cleared 510(k), K071436.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard X-ray image reader that converts latent images on a phosphor plate into digital data. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The image processing is handled by a separate, previously cleared workstation.

No
This device is an X-ray image reader used for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions.

No

The device is an X-ray image reader that captures and digitizes X-ray images. It transfers the data to external devices but does not perform diagnostic interpretations itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical X-ray image reader comprised of a reading unit with a cassette containing a plate, which are hardware components. While it interacts with software (ImagePilot), the core device is hardware.

Based on the provided text, this device 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.
  • Device function: The description clearly states that the REGIUS SIGMA is an X-ray image reader. It processes images created by an external X-ray generating device, which is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging modality.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to read and transfer X-ray image data for diagnostic purposes, but this is based on images acquired from the patient, not on analysis of samples from the patient.

Therefore, the REGIUS SIGMA falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Munves:

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, listing 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

3

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.
