No

The device description clearly states it is a "monochrome LCD monitor" and describes hardware characteristics like matrix size and pixel pitch. While it includes accessory software (RadiCS), the primary device being submitted is a physical monitor.

Based on the provided text, the RadiForce GX340 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI, etc." This describes a device used to visualize medical images, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body (which is the core function of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the technical specifications of a monitor (LCD, resolution, pixel pitch, tone curves, luminance, color temperature). This aligns with a display device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on sample analysis

The device is clearly described as a medical image display monitor used by trained medical practitioners for diagnostic purposes based on imaging modalities like X-ray and MRI. This falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Model variations with cosmetic differences are distinguished by characters attached to the name of the base model "GX340" such as "GX340-CL", a model whose backlight is Clear Base (one of tints) .

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including GX340 based on several OC guidelines. The RadiCS and its subset. RadiCS LE are included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce GX340.

7. Intended Use

The RadiForce GX340 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 is not specified for digital mammography system.

8. Technological Characteristics

The RadiForce GX340 can be said to have at least the same display performances as those of the predicate device by default due to the following reasons:

  • The matrix sizes (1536 x 2048) and the active area sizes (324.8 mm x 433.1 mm) of a. the LCD panels used by the both devices are the same.
  • The DICOM calibrated luminance (500 cd/m2) and the typical maximum luminance ﻓ (1200 cd/m2) are higher than those of the predicate device (450 cd/m2, 1000 cd/m2). The higher luminance to be maintained constantly was realized by the employment of LED backlight deteriorating more slowly than conventional CCFL backlights.
  • The LED backlight was newly employed instead of CCFL backlight because it is c. 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 d. 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 e. supported by the predicate device, RadiForce GX340 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.

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, GX340 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

2

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 GX340 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 GX340 performs in accordance with its specifications. None of the tests revealed behaviors inconsistent with the expected performance.

9. Conclusion

The 3MP Monochrome LCD Monitor, RadiForce GX340 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 the same as those of the predicate device and other differences have been independently validated. Any differences between the devices do not affect safety or effectiveness.
