Intended Use
The FLAATZ 560 is indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures (excluding fluoroscopic, angiographic, and mammography applications).
Device Description
The FLAATZ 560 is a radiographic image acquisition device. It is a fully integrated image capture and routing system under human operator control. TThis system may be usable by a technician in a typical radiology environment. The FLAATZ 560 system includes a Detector Panel, Case, Grid, Control Box, Switch Box, Interconnecting Cables, and API. The Detector Panel is a direct conversion device in the form of a rectangular plate in which the input x-ray photons are absorbed in an a-Se layer. The Control Box functions as a buffer between the Detector Panel and Operating PC while also supplying power to the Detector Panel. The Switch Box transfers signals between the Control Box and X-ray Generator and also indicates the status of the panel using LED lights. Finally, the API contains functions for image data capture and correction of defects on the image data.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and basic image acquisition/correction functions, with no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond defect correction.

No
The device is used for generating radiographic images, falling under diagnostic imaging, not therapeutic treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is intended for "general-purpose diagnostic procedures."

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a Detector Panel, Case, Grid, Control Box, Switch Box, and Interconnecting Cables, in addition to the API (software).

Based on the provided information, the FLAATZ 560 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "generating radiographic images of human anatomy." This is a diagnostic imaging device, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system for capturing X-ray images, including a detector panel, control box, and related components. This aligns with an imaging system, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is X-ray, which is an imaging modality used on the patient's body, not on in vitro samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used for "General Radiography," which refers to imaging the human body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The FLAATZ 560's function is to create images of the internal structure of the body using X-rays.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical test report: Performance test (MTF, DQE, Line Resolution) were done for FLAATZ 560 and the result concludes FLAATZ 560 can display similar images as KRYSTALRAD 560 (FLAATZ 560).

Clinical test report: Various parts of FLAATZ 560 images were shown to 5 experts and clinical study concludes FLAATZ 560 diagnostic images of equivalent quality as KRYSTALRAD 560 (FLAATZ 560)
