Intended Use

The Wireless/Wired FDR D-EVO flat panel detector system is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications including pediatric and neonatal exams wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. The FDR D-EVO is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications.

Device Description

Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) is a portable digital detector system that interfaces with, and acquires and digitizes x-ray exposures, from standard radiographic systems. The FDR D-EVO is designed to be used in any environment that would typically use a radiographic cassette for examinations of adults, pediatrics and neonates. The detector models support both wireless and wired/tethered data communication between the detector and the system. Detectors can be placed in a wall bucky for upright exams, a table bucky for recumbent exams, or removed from the bucky for non-grid exams.

The design modification made to the FDR D-EVO is adding Fujifilm's new post image processing algorithm called 'Virtual Grid Software'. The Virtual Grid Software is designed to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation, primarily for exams acquired without a grid. Based on the displayed image, the user can decide whether or not to apply the Virtual Grid image processing by turning it ON or OFF as they see fit.

Risk AnalysisAll verification and validation activities for the Virtual Grid Software performed and satisfactory.All verification and validation activities for the Virtual Grid Software were performed and the results were satisfactory.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document explicitly states: "Clinical Performance Data: The design modification does not require clinical studies. The substantial equivalence has been demonstrated by non-clinical studies." This indicates that no clinical test set was used for this specific modification. The evaluation relied on non-clinical data. Therefore, data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable here in the context of a clinical test set.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Since no clinical test set was used for establishing ground truth related to patient images, this information is not applicable. The "image quality evaluation" mentioned under non-clinical performance data likely refers to technical assessments rather than expert clinical interpretations of diagnostic images from a patient dataset.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable as no clinical test set was used requiring expert adjudication.

5. 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. The document states that clinical studies were not required and that substantial equivalence was demonstrated by non-clinical studies. This modification is an image processing algorithm, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool in the sense of improving human reader performance on a diagnostic task, but rather geared towards improving raw image quality.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, a form of standalone evaluation of the algorithm's performance on image quality was done. The document states: "Additionally the bench testing and image quality evaluation further demonstrated the Virtual Grid processing algorithm yields an improvement in image contrast and quality, for those images acquired without an antiscatter grid." This indicates that the algorithm's output was assessed for its intended effect on image characteristics.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the non-clinical evaluation, the "ground truth" for the image quality assessment would likely be based on technical metrics of image contrast and visual assessment agreed upon by imaging engineers or possibly radiologists on technical merits, rather than clinical expert consensus on diagnostic findings, pathology, or outcomes data. The goal was to demonstrate improved contrast, not diagnostic accuracy in a clinical setting.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not specify the sample size for the training set for the Virtual Grid Software.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document does not specify how the ground truth for the training set was established. It's important to note that "Virtual Grid Software" is described as a "post image processing algorithm." While some image processing algorithms can leverage machine learning and thus require training data and ground truth, the document doesn't provide details on its internal mechanisms beyond "reducing the effects of scatter radiation." If it's a rule-based or conventional signal processing algorithm, a "training set" with established ground truth in the machine learning sense might not be directly applicable. If it does involve machine learning, this information is not provided.

l. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) is a portable digital detector system that interfaces with, and acquires and digitizes x-ray exposures, from standard radiographic systems. The FDR D-EVO is designed to be used in any environment that would typically use a radiographic cassette for examinations of adults, pediatrics and neonates. The detector models support both wireless and wired/tethered data communication between the detector and the system. Detectors can be placed in a wall bucky for upright exams, a table bucky for recumbent exams, or removed from the bucky for non-grid exams.

The design modification made to the FDR D-EVO is adding Fujifilm's new post image processing algorithm called 'Virtual Grid Software'. The Virtual Grid Software is designed to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation, primarily for exams acquired without a grid. Based on the displayed image, the user can decide whether or not to apply the Virtual Grid image processing by turning it ON or OFF as they see fit.

The Virtual Grid Software will be available as option to be installed with the FDR D-EVO's acquisition workstation, FDX Console. This Software will also be made available with all other legally marketed Fuiifilm DR Systems that use the FDX Console as the acquisition workstation, since this post-processing algorithm does not depend on how the image is acquired, or with what acquisition device.

-INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Wireless/Wired FDR D-EVO flat panel detector system is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications including pediatric and neonatal exams wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. The FDR D-EVO is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications,

. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The modified FDR D-EVO FPD System (DR-ID600) is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed device.

Legally Marketed Device510(k) #Clearance Date

Adding the Virtual Grid Software to FDR D-EVO (DR-ID600) does not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the legally marketed device, K132509. The modified device's detector characteristics including Fujifilm's unique Irradiated Side Sampling (ISS) design delivering high image quality and wireless communication features remain unchanged, and the modified FDR D-EVO (DR-ID600) system virtually maintains the same functional and technical requirements as the currently-cleared predicate DR-ID600 system.

IV. SUMMARY OF STUDIES

Non-clinical Performance Data: The modified FDR D-EVO FPD System (DR-ID600) conforms to the voluntary standards such as AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62304, IEC 62366, IEC 62494-1 and DICOM. As required by the risk analysis, all verification and validation activities for the Virtual Grid Software were performed and the results were satisfactory. Additionally the bench testing and image quality evaluation further demonstrated the Virtual Grid processing algorithm yields an improvement in image contrast and quality, for those images acquired without an antiscatter grid. The results of the bench testing and image evaluation are provided in the submission.

Clinical Performance Data: The design modification does not require clinical studies. The substantial equivalence has been demonstrated by non-clinical studies.

V. CONCLUSION

Based upon the supporting data summarized above, we concluded the modified FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) is as safe and effective as the legally marketed device K132509 and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than K132509.
