Intended Use
The RadiForce GX240 is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images by trained medical practitioners. The RadiForce GX240 does not support the display of mammography images for diagnosis.
Device Description
The RadiForce GX240 is a monochrome LCD monitor for viewing medical images other than those of mammography. The matrix size (or resolution) of the panel is 1,200 x 1,600 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. Model variations with cosmetic differences are distinguished by characters attached to the name of the base model "GX240" such as "GX240-CL", a model whose backlight is Clear Base (one of tints) although the hardware design, components and labeling remain unchanged. RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including GX240 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 GX240.

Model variations with cosmetic differences are distinguished by characters attached to the name of the base model "GX240" such as "GX240-CL", a model whose backlight is Clear Base (one of tints) although the hardware design, components and labeling remain unchanged.

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including GX240 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 GX240.

7. Intended Use

The RadiForce GX240 is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images by trained medical practitioners. The RadiForce GX240 does not support the display of mammography images for diagnosis.

8. Technological Characteristics

The RadiForce GX240 can be said to have at least the same display performances as those of the predicate device, RadiForce GS220 by default due to the following reasons:

  • a. The matrix sizes (1,200 x 1,600) and the active area sizes (324.0 mm x 432.0 mm) of the LCD panels used by the both devices are the same.
  • b. The DICOM calibrated luminance values of the both devices are the same (500 cd/m') though the typical maximum luminance values (1,200 cd/m2) is higher than that of the predicate device (1,000 cd/m). The higher luminance to be maintained constantly was realized by the employment of LED backlight deteriorating more slowly than conventional CCFL backlights.
  • c. 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.
  • 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.
  • e. As for input video signal, in addition to the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) also supported by the predicate device, RadiForce GX240 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, GX240 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".

9. Performance Testing

The following bench tests were performed on the RadiForce GX240:

  • Verification of the conformance to DICOM GSDF as specified in Assessment of Display . Performance for Medical Imaging Systems by AAPM Task Group 18 (TG18 guideline)
  • . Measurement of the luminance non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as specified in the TG18 guideline
  • Measurement of the chromaticity non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as . specified in the TG18 guideline
  • Measurement of the chromaticity at the center of the display screen at 5%, 50% and 95% . of the maximum luminance as specified in Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Display Accessories for Full-Field Digital Mammography Systems-Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions
  • . Visual check of presence or absence of miscellaneous artifacts on the display screen as specified in the TG18 guideline
  • . The maximum number allowed for each type of pixel defects/faults agreed with the manufacturer from which Eizo buys the LCD panels for RadiForce GX240

The test results showed that the RadiForce GX240 has display performances substantially equivalence to those of the predicate device. RadiForce GS220. Besides, the display performances of the RadiForce GX240 meet the pre-defined criteria are set.

No animal or clinical testing was performed on the RadiForce GX240.

10. Conclusion

The 2MP Monochrome LCD Monitor, RadiForce GX240 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to technical characteristics, performance, 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.
