Intended Use
The LessRay™ is intended for use in any application where a fluoroscope is incorporated to aid in diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Device Description
The LessRay™ is a stand-alone computer display system interfaced to a fluoroscope with a video cable. The images produced by the fluoroscope are transmitted to a frame grabber in the computer where the images are enhanced and then displayed on the LessRay™ monitor. Each image is displayed on the LessRay™ monitor at the same time as the corresponding original image is displayed on the fluoroscope monitor(s).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions image enhancement but does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, which are typically associated with AI/ML image processing. The predicate device also appears to be a standard image enhancement system.

No.
The LessRay™ is a display system that enhances fluoroscopic images for diagnosis and treatment; it does not directly provide therapy itself.

No.
The "Intended Use" states that it aids in diagnosis and treatment but the device itself is a display system that enhances fluoroscopic images, it does not perform the diagnosis. The fluoroscope is the diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "stand-alone computer display system interfaced to a fluoroscope with a video cable" and includes a "frame grabber in the computer" and a "LessRay™ monitor." These are hardware components, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • LessRay™ Function: The LessRay™ processes and enhances fluoroscopic X-ray images of the human body in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's used "where a fluoroscope is incorporated to aid in diagnosis and treatment of disease," which involves imaging the patient directly.

Therefore, the LessRay™ falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an IVD.

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

To establish the substantial equivalence of the LessRay™ device the following performance tests were performed:

  • Validation Test 1 Low Dose/Pulse Image Improvement
  • Validation Test 2 Blocked Anatomy
  • Validation Test 3 Parallax Test
  • Validation Test 4 Pig Study

The LessRay™ system meets the following Electrical Safety and EMC standards:

  • IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 1988
  • IEC 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests

Results: The results of validation testing demonstrate that the LessRay™ provides accurate and clinically relevant images. Therefore performance testing demonstrates that the LessRay™ is as safe and effective as the 3DFIS.

§ 892.1650 Image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system.

(a)
Identification. An image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of x-radiation into a visible image through electronic amplification. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An anthrogram tray or radiology dental tray intended for use with an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. In addition, when intended as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, the fluoroscopic compression device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Performance Data:

To establish the substantial equivalence of the LessRay™ device the following performance tests were performed: .::.:..

  • Validation Test 1 Low Dose/Pulse Image Improvement
  • Validation Test 2 Blocked Anatomy
  • Validation Test 3 Parallax Test
  • Validation Test 4 Pig Study

The LessRay™ system meets the following Electrical Safety and EMC standards:

  • IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 1988
  • IEC 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

The LessRay™ System is substantially equivalent to the 3DSharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS) K013841. The 3DFIS is also designed to capture multiple images, manipulate the images arithmetically, and display the generated reduced noise images.

The differences between the LessRay™ System and the 3DFIS are that the LessRay™ System, the LessRay™ System can merge sequential and non-sequential images of the same anatomy to enhance image quality, while the 3DFIS merges only sequential images to enhance image quality. An additional difference is that the 3DFIS uses an algorithm similar to a Fourier transform to enhance image quality, while the LessRayTM System uses an averaging algorithm to use full-dose images to enhance image quality. Although the LessRay™ and 3DFIS use different mathematical methods to improve image quality, the results of validation testing demonstrate that the LessRay™ provides accurate and clinically relevant images. Therefore performance testing demonstrates that the LessRay™ is as safe and effective as the 3DFIS.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

Based on the identical indication, similar technological characteristics, and results of performance testing, the LessRay™ is substantially equivalent to the 3D Sharp Fluoroscope Image System (3DFIS - Model IES-FL-101) as it was cleared in K0138413DFIS as it was cleared in K013841.
