This product is intended to be used in displaying and viewing digital images, including standard and multi-frame digital mammography, for review, and diagnosis by trained medical practitioners. It is specially designed for breast tomosynthesis applications.
RadiForce GX540 is a monochrome LCD monitor for viewing medical images including those of mammography. The monochrome panel employs in-plane switching (IPS) technology allowing wide viewing angles and the matrix size (or resolution) is 2,048 x 2,560 pixels (5MP) with a pixel pitch of 0.165 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.
There are two model variations, GX540-CL and GX540-CLAR (GX540 without any suffix does not exist). The difference of the two variations is the surface treatment of the display screens; the surface treatment of the GX540-CL is Anti-Glare (AG) treatment and that of the GX540-CLAR is Anti-Reflection (AR) coating. The suffix common to the both variations, " - CL", means that the tint of the backlight is Clear Base (vs. Blue Base, another popular tint slightly bluish).
RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of the diagnostic monitors including the RadiForce GX540 based on the OC standards and guidelines and is capable of quantitative tests and visual tests defined by them. The RadiCS is included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce GX540.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the EIZO RadiForce GX540 5MP Monochrome LCD Monitor. This document is a submission to the FDA for a medical display device, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device. Therefore, many of the requested criteria often associated with AI/ML device studies (such as sample sizes for test/training sets, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types) are not applicable or typically reported in this type of submission for a display monitor.
However, I can extract and present the available information related to acceptance criteria and performance testing for this device.

Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:
The device's performance was evaluated through Bench Testing and Clinical Testing.
The bench tests were performed following instructions in the "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Display Accessories for Full-Field Digital Mammography Systems-Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions" and the AAPM Task Group 18 (TG18 guideline) for assessing display performance.
The clinical testing aimed to assess the image quality of tomosynthesis images on the proposed device compared to the predicate device.
Additional Requested Information:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Bench Testing: No sample size is explicitly stated for images or data sets. The tests are focused on the physical characteristics and performance of the monitor itself (e.g., luminance, contrast, resolution, temporal response).
- Clinical Testing: The document states the goal was to "assess the image quality of tomosynthesis images," but it does not specify the number of images or cases used for this assessment. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not provided.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Bench Testing: Ground truth is not applicable in the traditional sense for these technical display measurements. The "pre-defined criteria" for bench tests are based on established guidelines (FDA Guidance, TG18).
- Clinical Testing: The document states the clinical testing evaluated "viewing tomosynthesis images, especially lesions like masses, microcalcifications and architectural distortions within the images." This implies evaluation by medical practitioners, but the number or qualifications of these "trained medical practitioners" who assessed the images are not mentioned.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not specified or applicable for either the bench or clinical testing 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:
- An MRMC study was done in the sense that medical practitioners evaluated images on the proposed device versus the predicate device. However, this study was not an AI-assisted study. It was a comparison of display monitors. The document states: "The results of the testing indicated that the proposed device is at least equivalent to the predicate device for viewing tomosynthesis images, especially lesions like masses, microcalcifications and architectural distortions within the images." No effect size related to AI assistance is applicable or reported.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable, as this is a medical display monitor for human viewing, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Bench Testing: The ground truth is the physical measurement against set technical standards (e.g., DICOM GSDF, TG18 guidelines).
- Clinical Testing: The "ground truth" implicitly relies on the subjective assessment of image quality by "trained medical practitioners" for identifying lesions. No objective ground truth like pathology or outcomes data is mentioned as being used to validate these visual assessments in the clinical test.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a display monitor, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.

9. Performance Testing
9.1. Bench Testing
The following bench tests were performed on the RadiForce GX540 following instructions in Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Display Accessories for Full-Field Digital Mammography Systems-Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions:
- 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 angular dependency of luminance response in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions
- . Measurement of the luminance non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as specified in TG18 guideline
- Measurement of the chromaticity non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen . as specified in TG18 guideline
- . Measurement of the chromaticity at the center of the display screen at 5%, 50% and 95% of the maximum luminance
- Measurement of display reflections including specular, diffuse and haze components ●
- Measurement of small-spot contrast ratio
- . Measurement of spatial resolution expressed as modulation transfer function (MTF)
- . Measurement of noise expressed as noise power spectrum (NPS)
- Measurement of pixel aperture ratio
- Visual check of presence or absence of miscellaneous artifacts on the display screen as specified in TG18 guideline
- . Measurement of temporal response
- Performance data on luminance stability ●
- The maximum number allowed for each type of pixel defects/faults agreed with the . manufacturer from which EIZO buys the LCD panels for RadiForce GX540
The test results showed that the display characteristics of the RadiForce GX540 meet the pre-defined criteria when criteria are set.
The corresponding testing data of the predicate device, Barco Mammo Tomosynthesis (MDMG-5221), was not available because the device is from other manufacturer.
9.2. Clinical Testing
The goal of the clinical testing was to assess the image quality of tomosynthesis images on the proposed device compared to that on the predicate device.
The results of the testing indicated that the proposed device is at least equivalent to the predicate device for viewing tomosynthesis images, especially lesions like masses, microcalcifications and architectural distortions within the images.
{9}------------------------------------------------
9.3. Animal Testing
No animal testing was performed on the RadiForce GX540.
Conclusion 10.
The RadiForce GX540 was determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device due to the following reasons:
- The stated intended use is substantially the same as that of the predicate device.
- It was confirmed that the technological characteristics different from those of the . predicate device do not affect the safety and the effectiveness except one item, which was determined that it would not affect observer's performance based on the results of the clinical testing.
