The EVS 3643 Digital X-ray detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy. This device is intended to replace film or screen based radiographic systems in all general purpose diagnostic procedures. This device is not intended for mammography applications.
The EVS 3643 is a wired/wireless flat-panel type digital X-ray detector that captures projection radiographic images in digital format within seconds, eliminating the need for an entire x-ray film or an image plate as an image capture medium. EVS 3643 differs from traditional X-ray systems in that, instead of exposing a film and chemically processing it to create a hard copy image, a device called a Detector is used to capture the image in electronic form.
EVS 3643 consists of main components such as SSU. USB Switch Box, Battery Pack, Battery charger and other accessories (Tether Interface Cable, Hand Switch, Generator Interface Cable, LAN Cable, Interface cable, AC Power Code).
EVS 3643 should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-Ray generator.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the EVS 3643 device, based on the provided document:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Predicate EVS 4343 Performance) | Reported Device Performance (EVS 3643) |
|---|---|---|
| DQE (at 1.0 Lp/mm) | 52% | 50% |
| MTF (at 2.0 Lp/mm) | 36.6% | 35% |
| Resolution | 3.6 LP/mm | 3.5 LP/mm |
Note: The document states that the EVS 3643 is functionally identical and shares similar performance to the predicate device (EVS 4343) with minor differences in these specified metrics, which are presented as the acceptance criteria against which the new device was compared. The conclusion is that the EVS 3643 "meets the acceptance criteria and is adequate for this intended use."
Study Information
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document mentions "Clinical images were provided," but does not explicitly state the specific sample size of images used in the clinical study.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The study was conducted as a "single-blinded concurrence study," which implies it was likely a prospective collection for this specific study, but the source of the images themselves is not detailed.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document states a "single-blinded concurrence study" was conducted. It does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications (e.g., years of experience, specific board certifications) used to establish ground truth or evaluate diagnostic capability.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- The document describes a "single-blinded concurrence study." This typically implies that reader evaluations are compared to a predetermined ground truth, or to evaluations by other readers, but it doesn't specify an adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1." The phrase "concurrence study" suggests agreement among observers or with a known reference, but the precise adjudication process is not detailed.
-
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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance was not explicitly described.
- The study was a "single-blinded concurrence study" to confirm "equivalent diagnostic capability to the predicate devices," not to measure human performance improvement with AI assistance. The device itself is an X-ray detector, not an AI interpretation tool.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, performance metrics such as DQE, MTF, and Resolution were evaluated for the device itself (EVS 3643) and compared to the predicate device (EVS 4343) in a "comparison test." This represents standalone performance. The clinical study also implicitly assesses the standalone image quality produced by the detector.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the clinical "concurrence study," the ground truth was based on the premise of "equivalent diagnostic capability to the predicate devices." This implies that the images produced by EVS 3643 were deemed to provide equivalent information that would lead to the same diagnosis as those from the predicate device or a recognized standard, likely established by expert review ("concurrence"). The specific method of establishing this diagnostic ground truth (e.g., expert consensus on specific findings, long-term outcomes) is not further detailed.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- The document does not describe the use of a training set for an AI/algorithm system. The device is a digital X-ray detector, and the description focuses on its hardware and imaging characteristics, not on machine learning model development. Therefore, a training set for an AI model is not applicable here.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As there's no mention of a training set for an AI/algorithm, there's no information on how its ground truth was established.

5. Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a) (4)]
The EVS 3643 is a wired/wireless flat-panel type digital X-ray detector that captures projection radiographic images in digital format within seconds, eliminating the need for an entire x-ray film or an image plate as an image capture medium. EVS 3643 differs from traditional X-ray systems in that, instead of exposing a film and chemically processing it to create a hard copy image, a device called a Detector is used to capture the image in electronic form.
EVS 3643 consists of main components such as SSU. USB Switch Box, Battery Pack, Battery charger and other accessories (Tether Interface Cable, Hand Switch, Generator Interface Cable, LAN Cable, Interface cable, AC Power Code).
EVS 3643 should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-Ray generator.
6. Intended Use [21 CFR 807.92(a) (5)]
The EVS 3643 Digital X-ray detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy. This device is intended to replace film or screen based radiographic systems in all general purpose diagnostic procedures. This device is not intended for mammography applications.
7. Technological Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a) (6)]
The EVS 3643 Detector is an indirect conversion device in the form of a square plate in which converts the incoming X-rays into visible light. This visible light is then collected by an optical sensor, which generates an electric charges representation of the spatial distribution of the incoming X-ray quanta.
The charges are converted to a modulated electrical signal thin film transistors. The amplified signal is converted to a voltage signal and is then converted from an analog to digital signal which can be transmitted to a viewed image print out, transmitted to remote viewing or stored as an electronic data file for later viewing.
Comparisons with the predicate, devices show the technological characteristics of the EVS 3643 to be same to the predicate devices. The EVS 3643 is functionally identical to the predicate devices.
8. Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b) (1) and 807.92]
EVS 3643 is a series of the predicate device EVS 4343. The size of the detector, power supply to the detector and the wireless connection are improved.
When compared to the predicate devices (K142475), the EVS 3643 presented in this submission has the same of the followings:
- Intended Use
- · Technological characteristics
- · Design features
- Communication Method
- Scintillator Materials
The two devices share the similar performance as the following:
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Performance (MTF)
- · Performance (DQE)
- Resolution
- · Software version
However, the size of the predicate device's detector is 17" X 17" whereas that of EVS 3643 is 14" X 17". Also, the predicate device connects the detector to the SSU through a wire for power supply and data communication whereas the EVS 3643 is also capable of using the battery inside the detector and wireless communication of top of the method the predicate device uses.
Also, there is a change in the version of the software due to the different size of the detector, but there is no change in the function of the software.
In summary, after comparing EVS 3643 and the predicate device, no significant difference was observed. Also, the main comparison items including the intended use and technological characteristics were highly similar or the same. Therefore, EVS 3643 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

10. Summary of Clinical Data
A single-blinded concurrence study according to CDRH's Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices was conducted, and the study confirmed that the new x-ray detectors EVS 3643 provide images of equivalent diagnostic capability to the predicate devices (K142475) and its results demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Clinical images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modifications to the device (note X-ray detector technology that is identical to the predicate device) but they provide further evidence in addition to the laboratory performance data to show that the subject device works as intended.
11. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b) (3)]
The EVS 3643 is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed and predicate devices (K142475) in terms of design features, fundamental scientific technology, indications for use, and safety and effectiveness.
Additionally, Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through the non-clinical performance, which complied with the requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus standards, IEC60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC62220-1 and IEC 62133 and the clinical test, which complied with the requirements specified in the CDRH's Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices.
The results of these tests demonstrate that EVS 3643 meets the acceptance criteria and is adequate for this intended use. The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data, safety testing, and clinical image concurrence data demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well the predicate devices.
