Intended Use
The RadiForce RX240 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.
Device Description
The RadiForce RX240 is a color LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 1200 x 1600 pixels (2MP) with a pixel pitch of 0.270 mm. 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. RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including RX240 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 RX240.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the monitor's display capabilities, calibration, and quality control software. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for image analysis, processing, or any other function.

No.
The device is a monitor used for viewing diagnostic images, not for directly treating a condition.

Yes

The device is intended to be used for "displaying and viewing digital images for diagnosis of X-ray or MRI," which directly indicates its use as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a color LCD monitor, which is a hardware component. While it includes software (RadiCS), the primary device being cleared is the monitor itself.

Based on the provided information, the RadiForce RX240 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the RadiForce RX240 is a monitor for displaying and viewing digital images from modalities like X-ray and MRI. These are imaging techniques that capture images of the inside of the body, not devices that analyze biological samples.
  • The device description focuses on display characteristics and quality control for medical images. This aligns with the function of a medical image display monitor, not an IVD device which would involve reagents, assays, or other methods for analyzing biological specimens.
  • The intended use is for diagnosis based on viewing images. This is a key function of a medical image display, not an IVD device which provides diagnostic information through the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the RadiForce RX240 is a medical image display monitor, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including RX240 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 RX240.

7. Intended Use

The RadiForce RX240 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 RX240 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 (1200 x 1600) and the active area sizes (324.0 mm x 432.0 mm) of a. the LCD panels used by the both devices are the same.
  • The DICOM calibrated luminance (400 cd/m²) and the typical maximum luminance b. (760 cd/m2) is higher than that of the predicate device (150 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.
  • 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.
  • d. The both devices display images in accordance with DICOM GSDF by default utilizing the factory calibrated display mode stored in lookup tables inside of them.
  • Analog video interface is not supported by the proposed device. The quality of e. displayed images is usually better via digital interfaces like DVI or DisplayPort than via analog ones.

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, RX240 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

2

external sensors and that with the IFS is included in section 16.9 "Verification and Validation Documentation".

The overall design of the RadiForce RX240 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 RX240 performs in accordance with its specifications. None of the tests revealed behaviors inconsistent with the expected performance.

9. Conclusion

The 2MP Color LCD Monitor, RadiForce RX240 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.
