Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The provided document describes a 510(k) submission for the PCH-2500 dental digital radiographic imaging system. However, it does not explicitly list specific acceptance criteria with numerical targets that the device had to meet. Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (also named PCH-2500, K122155). The core argument is that the new device is an "upgraded version of the predicate device with the same model name, the same indications for use and technical characteristics" (Section 2).
The closest equivalent to "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the technological characteristics comparison with the predicate device and the performance tests conducted to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Table 1. Inferred Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Characteristic | Inferred Acceptance Criteria (from predicate device characteristics or regulatory standards) | Reported Device Performance (for new PCH-2500) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

(Section 6) | The non-clinical performance (MTF, DQE, NPS) and clinical consideration reports for the new image receptors (Xmaru3001CF and 1417PGA) were provided. The outcome of an expert review of image comparisons was also relied upon for substantial equivalence (Section 6). "All test results were satisfactory" (Section 7). |
Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria:
The submission describes a set of tests to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, rather than a single, large clinical study with specific acceptance criteria. The primary "study" is a compilation of various engineering tests, performance validations, and comparisons.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a "test set" in the traditional sense of a clinical trial. The evaluation primarily involved device characteristics and performance metrics.
- Data Provenance: The studies are laboratory and engineering tests conducted by the sponsor's qualified individuals, likely at the manufacturing facility in Gyeonggi-Do, Republic of Korea, as indicated by the submitter's address. The data is retrospective in the sense that it relies on comparisons to an already cleared predicate device and established standards.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document mentions "an expert review of image comparisons for both devices" (Section 6).
- The number of experts and their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") are not specified in the provided text. It only states "qualified individuals employed by the sponsor" conducted laboratory and clinical performance testing (Section 5).
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- The document mentions "outcome of an expert review of image comparisons" (Section 6), but the specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) is not described.
-
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or reported. This device is a digital X-ray imaging system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The focus is on the image acquisition system itself.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. The device is an image acquisition system, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated based on image quality metrics and compliance with technical specifications and safety standards.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- For technical performance: The "ground truth" was based on established industry standards (e.g., IEC standards for safety, ISO/NEMA standards for image quality metrics like MTF, DQE, NPS), and comparison to the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device.
- For clinical image evaluation: The "ground truth" was based on expert review of images produced by the device, likely assessing diagnostic utility and quality against established clinical imaging benchmarks, but the exact nature of this "ground truth" is not detailed (e.g., if it involved pathology confirmation or outcomes data).
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device is an X-ray imaging system, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the AI sense.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As the device is not an AI algorithm, no training set or its associated ground truth establishment mechanism is relevant to this submission.
In essence, the "study" demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria is a comprehensive set of engineering, electrical, mechanical, and image quality tests, along with a direct comparison of all technical specifications to a pre-existing cleared predicate device (K122155). The conclusion of substantial equivalence is drawn from the satisfactory results of these tests and the identified similarities and acceptable changes from the predicate.

Summary of Performance Testing:
The PCH-2500 dental digital radiographic imaging system described in this 510(k) is identical to the predicate device in its indications for use, performance, materials, safety characteristics, image viewing program and accessory components
Furthermore, the following information further substantiates the substantial equivalence between two devices:
- The fundamental technological characteristics of the subject and predicate . device were the same.
- Laboratory and clinical performance testing using the same test protocols . as used for the cleared detectors was evaluated by qualified individuals employed by the sponsor to demonstrate that adequate design controls (according to 21 CFR 820.30) were in place.
- . The intended use of the modified device, as described in the labeling, has not changed as a result of the labeling modification(s).
For both devices, the differences are as follows.
-
New SSXI detectors, 1417PGA (One Shot Ceph mode) and Xmaru3001CF (Scan Ceph mode) for the newly upgraded PCH-2500 have different active areas compared with K122155, the predicate device.
-
Change to Free Input Voltage: For the predicate device, changing the input voltage from 110V to 200V would require separate tools and electrical works whereas the new device is equipped with a newly designed power board which is capable of handling the input power between 100 V and 240 V without a separate tool or electrical modification.
-
The proposed PCH-2500 is available with two different X-ray generator options. To evaluate the safety, safety test is conducted for each generator according to the IEC Standard. Moreover, separate image evaluation is performed for each Xray generator which is considered as one of critical components affecting the quality of radiographic images and imaging performance of the device.
-
For proposed PCH-2500, a new generator for X-ray tube has the capacity to generate more tube current and tube voltage than the predicate device. Moreover, the maximum irradiation condition for each capture mode is defined differently by diversifying the operating range of the generator specifications.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The non-clinical performance (including MTF, DQE, NPS test) and clinical consideration report for the new image receptor, Xmaru3001CF and 1417PGA, are provided separately in this submission. Based on the non-clinical and clinical consideration and the outcome of an expert review of image comparisons for both devices, we can claim the substantial equivalence of PCH-2500 in comparison with its predicate device, PCH-2500(K122155), in terms of safety and effectiveness.
Safety, EMC and Performance Data:
Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to standard IEC 60601-1(A1+A2, 1995), IEC 60601-1-1 (2000), IEC 60601-1-3 (1994), IEC 60601-2-7 (1998), IEC 60601-2-28 (Ed. 1, 1993) and IEC 60601-2-32 (Ed. 1, 1994) were performed, and EMC testing were conducted in accordance with standard IEC 60601-1-2 (2007).
The manufacturing facility is in conformance with the relevant EPRC standards as specified in 21 CFR 1020.30, 31 and the records are available for review.
PCH-2500 also meets the provisions of NEMA PS 3.1-3.18, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set.
Non-clinical & Clinical considerations according to FDA Guidance "Guidance for the submissions of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices" were performed. For clinical consideration, separate clinical image evaluation is performed for each X-ray generator which is considered as one of critical components affecting the quality of radiographic images of the device.
Acceptance test according to IEC 61223-3-4 was performed. The separate imaging evaluation is performed for each X-ray generator which is considered as one of critical components affecting the imaging performance of the device.
DICOM Conformance Statement, image viewing SW validation reports, biocompatibility evaluation report and nonclinical consideration for detectors same with predicate device are not provide in this submission, because DICOM standard
{7}------------------------------------------------
conformance, accessory components, image viewing program and the detectors between proposed and predicate device are same.
All test results were satisfactory.
Conclusion:
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification. Vatech Co., Ltd. concludes that PCH-2500 is safe and effective and substantially equivalent to predicate device as described herein.
