The acceptance criteria and study proving device performance are described below for the Shimadzu X-ray TV System SonialVision G4 with the Tomosynthesis option (K142341). This device is intended to add the "Tomosynthesis technique" to its indications for use.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria with pass/fail thresholds. Instead, the study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Discovery XR656 with VolumeRad) for the tomosynthesis capability. The reported performance is summarized as follows:
| Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Non-clinical Performance: Equivalent accuracy of tomographic acquisition | Measured accuracy of tomographic acquisition for the new device and the secondary predicate device were compared. The result indicated equivalent performance to acquire images by tomosynthesis technique. Phantom images of both devices were also compared, supporting substantial equivalence. |
| Clinical Performance: Equivalent diagnostic capability for tomosynthesis images across various anatomies | Multiple clinical images taken by tomosynthesis technique for both the new device and the secondary predicate device were compared across several different anatomies. From the overall clinical review, it was concluded that the new device is substantially equivalent to the secondary predicate device in terms of diagnostic capability. |
| Radiation Safety: Equivalent radiation characteristics and safety profile for tomosynthesis technique | Non-clinical bench testing and clinical performance testing, along with associated dose information of each image, were executed. The result demonstrated substantial equivalence to the secondary predicate device. |
| Software Verification and Validation: Meets FDA guidance for software in medical devices, without affecting safety and effectiveness | Software verification and validation testing were conducted as recommended by FDA guidance. The level of concern was identified, and documentation consistent with that level was provided. Based on risk analysis, the software difference (for tomosynthesis) was determined not to affect safety and effectiveness. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Non-clinical Performance Testing (Tomosynthesis): The document mentions "phantom images" and "accuracy of tomographic acquisition of two devices was measured." It does not specify the exact number of phantom images or measurements, but it refers to a comparative evaluation.
- Clinical Performance Testing (Tomosynthesis): "Multiple clinical images taken by tomosynthesis technique were compared on several different anatomies." The exact number of clinical cases or images is not specified.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin but mentions a "U.S. certified Radiologist" for the clinical study, implying the clinical data was likely collected or reviewed in the U.S.
- Retrospective or Prospective: Not specified, but the nature of a clinical comparison study often leans towards retrospective analysis of collected images for initial clearance.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Clinical Performance Testing: "concurrence clinical study was executed by an U.S. certified Radiologist."
- Number of Experts: One (1) U.S. certified Radiologist.
- Qualifications: "U.S. certified Radiologist." No specific years of experience are mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document states that a "concurrence clinical study was executed by an U.S. certified Radiologist" and involved an "overall clinical review." This suggests a single reader's judgment was used for comparison, rather than a multi-reader adjudication process (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). No explicit adjudication method is described beyond the single expert's review.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not explicitly mentioned for this submission. The clinical review was conducted by a single U.S. certified Radiologist comparing images from the new device and the predicate. Therefore, there is no reported effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance, as the primary goal was to show equivalence of the tomosynthesis capability itself, not human performance with AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
- While the tomosynthesis technique is "enabled by additional software option," the evaluation focuses on the performance of the overall device implementing the technique (i.e., the integrated system), rather than just the isolated algorithm performance. The non-clinical and clinical tests compare the complete device's tomosynthesis output and diagnostic capability against a predicate device. So, not a standalone algorithm-only study in the typical sense of evaluating AI performance in isolation.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Non-clinical Performance: Phantom images with known characteristics were used to assess the "accuracy of tomographic acquisition."
- Clinical Performance: The "diagnostic capability" was assessed through comparison of "multiple clinical images" by a "U.S. certified Radiologist" against images from the predicate device. This implies the ground truth for diagnostic capability was established by expert consensus/opinion (from the single radiologist) in comparison to a known clinically accepted device. No mention of pathology or outcomes data is made for the purpose of establishing ground truth for the device's performance.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not specify a sample size for any training set. The submission focuses on verification and validation of the tomosynthesis feature, primarily through comparison with a predicate device, rather than the development and training of a new AI/machine learning model whose training data would need to be described.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As no training set is discussed or implied for a new AI/machine learning model, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable and not provided in the document. The tomosynthesis option is described as an "additional software option" that enables the technique rather than a newly trained AI system.

SECTION V:
510(k) Summary
The following technological differences exist between new and primary predicate device.
- Use of software processing for tomosynthesis ●
- . Use of mechanism to acquire tomographic plane
- Clinical images resulted by tomosynthesis technique ●
12) Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Both new device and primary predicate device are in conformity with IEC60601-1-2. The difference is edition of the standard. Difference of edition of the standard does not affect safety and effectiveness.
Materials and Bio-compatibility testing
As there are no additional hardware components, there are no differences on materials and bio-compatibility between new device and primary predicate device. Both new device and primary predicate device are in conformity with ISO 10993-1:2009.
Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Thermal safety
As to these safeties, new device and primary predicate device are substantially equivalent by their conformed standards.
Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." We identified the level of concern associated with new device and provided documentation consistent with that level. Based on our risk analysis of software, the difference does not affect its safety and effectiveness.
Non-clinical Performance Testing
For the tomosynthesis technique which is different from primary predicate device, we performed non-clinical performance testing between new device and secondary predicate device in accordance with the FDA Guidance "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging (SSXI) Devices". Accuracy of tomographic acquisition of two devices was measured, and phantom images of two devices were compared. As a result, we estimated that new device has equivalent performance to acquire images by tomosynthesis technique. The results of non-clinical performance testing demonstrate substantial equivalence to secondary predicate device in aspect of tomosynthesis capability.
Clinical Performance Testing
Per SSXI guidance, concurrence clinical study was executed by an U.S. certified Radiologist. Between new device and secondary predicate device, multiple clinical images taken by tomosynthesis technique were compared on several different anatomies. From the result of
{6}------------------------------------------------
SECTION V:
510(k) Summary
overall clinical review, we concluded that new device is substantially equivalent to the secondary predicate device in aspect of its diagnostic capability.
Radiation safety
New device and primary predicate device is substantially equivalent by their conformities of CFR and IEC60601-1-3. Also, for additional "tomosynthesis technique", non-clinical bench testing as well as clinical performance testing were executed with associated dose information of each image. The result of Performance Data demonstrates substantial equivalence to the secondary predicate device.
13) Conclusion
The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that new device should perform as intended in the specified use of tomosynthesis technique. Based on our risk analysis, the bench testing as well as clinical testing, the differences do not affect its clinical safety or effectiveness.
From the result of nonclinical and clinical testing discussed above, it is our conclusion that,
- -New device is identical to the commercially available primary predicate device the X-RAY TV SYSTEM SONIALVISION G4, which was cleared on March 28, 2014 with K131075 except its tomosynthesis technique.
- Additional indication for use, tomosynthesis technique of new device is substantially equivalent to the commercially available secondary predicate device, Discovery XR656 with VolmeRad (digital tomosynthesis), which was cleared on November 18, 2013 with K132261. Additional indication for use does not introduce any new safety and effectiveness concern.
- Therefore, new device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device(s).
