Intended Use
The CareView 1500C/ CareView 1500L detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures. This product is not intended for mammography applications.
Device Description
CareView 1500C/ CareView 1500L is a kind of cassette size digital X-ray flat panel detectors which have 434mmx355mm imaging area. The device communicates by wired communication feature (Giga-bit Ethernet communication mode by connecting the power box). The device intercepts X-ray photons and then the scintillator emits visible spectrum photons that illuminate an array of photo detectors (a-Si) that create electrical signals. After the electrical signals are generated, it is converted to a digital value and an image will be displayed on the monitor. The detector should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-ray generator to utilize as digitalizing X-ray images and transfer for radiography diagnostic.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and basic image acquisition process, with no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing techniques that would typically indicate the use of such technologies.

No
The device is a diagnostic imaging solution, specifically an X-ray detector, used for providing images for diagnosis, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The device is described as being "indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy" and "intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures." It is designed to capture X-ray images for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "cassette size digital X-ray flat panel detector" and describes its physical components and how it converts X-ray photons into electrical signals, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body using X-rays.
  • Device Description: The device is a digital X-ray flat panel detector that captures X-ray images.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The device described is a medical imaging device used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of radiological devices, not IVDs.

Generally, CareView 1500C/CareView 1500L is the same as the cleared product, CareView 1500Cw except the following aspects:

  1. Based on CareView 1500Cw, the WIFI wireless communication function is cut in CareView 1500C and CareView 1500L. Accordingly, the internal WIFI communication circuit module is removed.
  2. Based on CareView 1500Cw, the lithium battery pack is removed. So the power supply mode is simplified. In CareView 1500Cw, both power box and the battery pack can supply power, while in CareView 1500C and CareView 1500L, only the power box can supply power.
  3. Based on CareView 1500Cw, CareView 1500C and CareView 1500L removed the power button. Because lithium battery is removed and there is one power switch on power box, so the power button on detector is unnecessary.
  4. Compare with CareView 1500Cw and CareView 1500C, the handle is removed on CareView 1500L. Accordingly, the enclosure of the bottom is changed. The final enclosure is simpler and more compact.

8. System requirements to operate with other radiographic system components

    1. Recommended Generator Specification:
      Energy range: 40~150kVp

mA range: 10~1000mA (depending on the generator power)

ms range: 106300ms to produce 0.11000mAs (depending on the generator power) Note: To our best knowledge, the detector is compatible with the X-ray generators with the specifications described above. If you have questions regarding the compatibility issue for other generators, please contact your distributor or CareRay.

    1. Application Program Interface (API) for system integration manufacturer
      Peripheral hardware: CareView detector connected via wired communication.

CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo, 2.93GHz or above

RAM: 2 GB or higher

Hard disk: 160 GB or higher

Monitor: 1280 x 1024 or higher

OS: Windows XP or Windows 7

  • Development environment: MS Visual Studio 2005
    1. X-ray exposure mode

The synchronous connection mode is the signal transfer mode between the X-ray generator which sends the X-ray and the detector which receives the X-ray.

CareView 1500C supported typical sync mode contains soft sync, manual sync and auto sync containing FFAED mode.

CareView 1500L supported typical sync mode contains external sync, soft sync, manual sync and auto sync containing FFAED mode.

The detector can't provide feedback to the generator to terminate the x-ray exposure.

9. Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b) (1) and 807.92(b)(2)]

  • A Electrical safety and EMC testing
    Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to IEC/ES 60601-1 was performed, and EMC testing was also conducted in accordance with IEC/EN 60601-1-2. All test results are satisfactory.

  • A Nonclinical and clinical considerations The proposed device (CareView 1500C/ CareView 1500L) and predicate device (CareView 1500Cw) share most of primary product specifications including intended use, technology,

8

material, and imaging principle, etc. Difference lies in the means of connectivity and power supply. While predicate device supports both wired and wireless connections, the proposed devices provide only a wired connection between the detector and PC. While predicate device supports both internal and external powered, the proposed devices provide only external powered.

The difference of connectivity and power supply don't affect the technological parameters and clinical images.

10. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b) (3)]

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, the CareView 1500C/ CareView 1500L X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent to predicate device CareView 1500Cw (K150929). Both propose and predicate devices are same in the intended use, the design principle, the applicable standards and specification. Some characteristics, for example, the connectivity and power supply are different. However the test reports in this submission documents provide demonstration that these differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, CareRay Digital Medical System Co., Ltd. concludes the CareView 1500C/ CareView 1500L X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent with the predicate device CareView 1500Cw (K150929).
