The RadiForce RX840 is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc. by trained medical practitioners. The device does not support the display of mammography images for diagnosis.
The RadiForce RX840 is a color LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 4096 x 2160 pixels (8MP), spacious enough to display e.g. two 3MP radiological images and other clinical information side by side without obtrusive bezels.
Since factory calibrated display modes, each of which is characterized by a specific tone curve (including DICOM GSDF), a specific luminance range and a specific color temperature, are stored in lookup tables within the monitor, the tone curve is e.g. DICOM compliant regardless of the display controller used.
Model variations with cosmetic differences are distinguished by characters attached to the name of the base model "RX840" such as "RX840-AR", a model with an Anti-Reflective coating.
RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including RX840 based on several QC guidelines. The RadiCS and its subset, RadiCS LE are included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce RX840.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the EIZO RadiForce RX840 8MP Color LCD Monitor. It does not contain information about a study with acceptance criteria for a device that uses AI or a human-in-the-loop component. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of the RX840 monitor to a predicate device (FlexScan MX300W) based on technological characteristics and performance benchmarks.
Therefore, many of the requested sections about AI-specific criteria, sample sizes for test sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable to this document. The document describes a display monitor, not an AI diagnostic tool.
Here's a breakdown of the information that is present or can be inferred, along with explanations for the missing information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not present explicit acceptance criteria in the typical sense for a diagnostic algorithm (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the proposed device (RadiForce RX840) meets or exceeds the performance characteristics of its predicate device, the FlexScan MX300W. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly tied to the performance of the predicate device.
| Characteristic | Predicate Device (FlexScan MX300W) Performance | Proposed Device (RadiForce RX840) Performance | Acceptance/Comparison Metric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matrix Size (Resolution) | 2,560 x 1,600 | 4,096 x 2,160 (8MP) | Larger than predicate |
| Active Area Size | 641.3 mm x 400.8 mm | 817.1 mm x 430.9 mm | Larger than predicate |
| Pixel Pitch/Size | 0.2505 x 0.2505 mm | 0.1995 x 0.1995 mm | Smaller (higher density) than predicate |
| DICOM Calibrated Luminance | 170 cd/m² | 400 cd/m² | Higher than predicate |
| Typical Maximum Luminance | 300 cd/m² | 700 cd/m² | Higher than predicate |
| Backlight Type | CCFL | LED | Newer, mercury-free, less power, slower deterioration |
| DICOM GSDF Compliance | Yes (via factory calibrated display modes) | Yes (via factory calibrated display modes) | Same as predicate |
| Input Video Signal | DVI | DVI, DisplayPort | Improved/additional options |
| QC Software | Uses same QC software (RadiCS/RadiCS LE) | Uses same QC software (RadiCS/RadiCS LE) | Same as predicate |
| Backlight Sensor (BS) | Present | Present | Same as predicate |
| Built-in Front Sensor (IFS) | Not explicitly mentioned | Present (for automatic grayscale calibration) | Improved (reduces human intervention) |
| Safety & EMC Standards | Not detailed for predicate | Validated (internationally recognized) | Meets standards |
| Image Quality Characteristics | Not detailed, but section 18 references comparison with predicate | Not detailed, but section 18 references comparison with predicate | "several image quality characteristics... compared" |
The document states: "The RadiForce RX840 can be said to have at least the same display performances as those of the predicate device by default..." and "The specifications of the primary component employed by the proposed device are superior to those of the predicate device and other differences have been independently validated. Any differences between the devices do not affect safety or effectiveness." This indicates that the "acceptance criteria" were met by demonstrating equivalence or superiority to the predicate device's established performance without introducing adverse effects.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
Not applicable. This is not a study involving patient data or a test set in the context of an AI algorithm. The performance evaluation is based on device specifications and benchmark testing of the monitor hardware and software.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. There is no "ground truth" establishment in the context of diagnostic interpretation for this monitor's submission. The "ground truth" for monitor performance would be established by objective measurements and adherence to technical standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No diagnostic test set or adjudication process is described.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No. This document describes a monitor, not an AI system. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study regarding AI assistance is not applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No. This is a display monitor, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is typically established by:
- Engineering specifications and objective measurements: Calibrated luminance, resolution, pixel pitch, tone curve adherence (DICOM GSDF), color accuracy, etc.
- Adherence to recognized standards: Safety (e.g., IEC 60601-1) and EMC standards.
- Comparison to predicate device performance: Demonstrating that the new device's performance characteristics are equivalent or superior without raising new safety or effectiveness concerns.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device does not involve a training set as it is not an AI algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.

6. Device Description
The RadiForce RX840 is a color LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 4096 x 2160 pixels (8MP), spacious enough to display e.g. two 3MP radiological images and other clinical information side by side without obtrusive bezels.
Since factory calibrated display modes, each of which is characterized by a specific tone curve (including DICOM GSDF), a specific luminance range and a specific color temperature, are stored in lookup tables within the monitor, the tone curve is e.g. DICOM compliant regardless of the display controller used.
{1}------------------------------------------------
Model variations with cosmetic differences are distinguished by characters attached to the name of the base model "RX840" such as "RX840-AR", a model with an Anti-Reflective coating.
RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including RX840 based on several QC guidelines. The RadiCS and its subset, RadiCS LE are included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce RX840.
7. Intended Use
The RadiForce RX840 is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc. by trained medical practitioners. The device does not support the display of mammography images for diagnosis.
8. Technological Characteristics
The RadiForce RX840 can be said to have at least the same display performances as those of the predicate device by default due to the following reasons:
- Both the matrix size and the active area size of the LCD panel used (4,096 x 2,160, a. 817.1 mm x 430.9 mm) are larger than those of the predicate device (2,560 x 1,600, 641.3 mm x 400.8 mm).
- The smaller pixel pitch or pixel size (0.1995 x 0.1995 mm) than that of the predicate b. device (0.2505 x 0.2505 mm) means higher density usually resulting in higher quality of displayed images. If one cares about the smaller pixel size, the perceived pixel size similar to that of the predicate device can be realized easily by adjusting the viewing distance.
- The DICOM calibrated luminance (400 cd/m²) and the typical maximum luminance C. (700 cd/m2) is higher than that of the predicate device (170 cd/m², 300 cd/m²). The higher luminance to be maintained constantly was realized by the employment of LED backlight deteriorating more slowly than conventional CCFL backlights.
- d. The LED backlight was newly employed instead of CCFL backlight because it is mercury-free, consumes less power and deteriorates more slowly. We have not recognized any adverse effects of the LED backlight on the quality of displayed images. Refer to section 18 "Performance Testing - Bench" where several image quality characteristics of the proposed device are compared with those of the predicate device.
- The both devices display images in accordance with DICOM GSDF by default e. utilizing the factory calibrated display mode stored in lookup tables inside of them.
- As for input video signal, in addition to the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) also f. supported by the predicate device, RadiForce RX840 supports DisplayPort, another type of digital video interface based on an industrial standard. As far as the both the DVI and the DisplayPort are digital, their differences do not affect the quality of displayed images.

{2}------------------------------------------------
As for the maintenance, the same QC software is used for the both devices and the implementation of the Backlight Sensor (BS) stabilizing the backlight is also the same.
As for built-in sensors, in addition to BS common to the both devices, RX840 has three kinds of sensors. However, only the Built-in Front Sensor (IFS) has something to do with the maintenance or the calibration; the Presence Sensor (PS) detects the absence of the user to trigger the power saving mode of the monitor and the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) is used to measure the ambient light by lx. The IFS enables automatic grayscale calibration by measuring the luminance at the screen surface. Without IFS, the grayscale calibration process requires human intervention and the use of an external sensor. The accuracy data of the calibration with external sensors and that with the IFS is included in section 16.9 "Verification and Validation Documentation".
The overall design of the RadiForce RX840 was validated in accordance with internationally recognized safety and EMC standards by independent testing facilities and in-house ones. Besides, EIZO NANAO CORPORATION performed a range of system and performance tests to ensure that the RadiForce RX840 performs in accordance with its specifications. None of the tests revealed behaviors inconsistent with the expected performance.
9. Conclusion
The 8MP color LCD monitor, RadiForce RX840 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to technical characteristics, application and intended use. The specifications of the primary component employed by the proposed device are superior to those of the predicate device and other differences have been independently validated. Any differences between the devices do not affect safety or effectiveness.
