No
The summary describes a digital radiography system with image processing software but does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts. The performance studies focus on traditional imaging metrics and bench testing.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a diagnostic imaging system (DRX-1 System) intended to capture diagnostic images of human anatomy using digital radiography (DR) technology. Its purpose is to aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "diagnostic imaging system" in the "Device Description" section, and its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states it's intended to capture "radiographic images of human anatomy." These images are then used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components including an operator console, flat panel digital imager (detector), and optional tether interface box. The performance studies also mention evaluating both hardware and software requirements.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "diagnostic imaging system utilizing digital radiography (DR) technology" intended to "capture for disgraphic images of human anatomy." It works by using X-rays to create images of the inside of the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens. Its function is solely focused on capturing images of the body itself.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Carestream DRX-1 System is a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Indications for Use / Intended Use:

The Indications for Use for the device, as described in its labeling, are:

"The device is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy including both pediatric and adult patients. The device is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications wherever conventional screen-film systems or CR systems may be used. Excluded from the indications for use are mammography, fluoroscopy, and angiography applications."

The intended use for this device, as determined by descriptions and the proposed labeling contained in this submission, is similar to the Indications for Use statement provided above. The Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors is a diagnostic imaging system utilizing digital radiography (DR) technology that is used to capture x-rays for diagnostic procedures. We believe that the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors and the predicate device have the same intended use.

The Indications for Use for the subject device is the same as for the predicate device and the intended use remains unchanged. Any variation in features or technical specifications have been identified and addressed through testing (described below) to support a substantial equivalence determination.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

Based upon information provided within this submission. we believe that the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed Carestream DRX-1 System with the DRX Plus 3543 Detectors (predicate device). Both the currently marketed DRX Plus 3543 Detectors and the new DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors are used in combination with the image processing software and user interface resident on the DRX-1 System Console component of the Carestream DRX-1 System. The system is used to directly capture conventional projected x-rays to generate digital images, regardless of which detector is being used. An image can be displayed on a preview monitor for viewing with any of the detectors. The system can transmit diagnostic images through a digital network for diagnostic viewing and printing regardless of which detector is used.

The predicate (DRX Plus 3543/3543C) Detectors share synonymous design specifications except the larger physical size of the detector (43cmX43cm).

Discussion of Testing:

The performance characteristics and operation / usability of the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors were evaluated in non-clinical (bench) testing in accordance with FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State Imaging Devices".

functionality and reliability, including both hardware and software requirements. Predefined acceptance criteria were met and demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device; therefore supporting a substantial equivalence determination. Acceptance criteria were identified for weight, pixel size, resolution, pixel pitch, total pixel area, usable pixel area, MTF (at various spatial resolutions), DQE (at various spatial resolutions), sensitivity, ghosting, boot-up time, operating temperature, exposure latitude, signal uniformity, and dark noise (ADC). Predefined acceptance criteria were met and demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.

Clinical studies were not submitted because the non-clinical data was sufficient to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Consensus Standards:

The device conforms to ISO 14971:2012. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set, IEC 60601-1+Amd 1 - 3td Edition 2005, CFR 47 part 15, ANSI C95.1, and IEC 60601-1-2:2007.

Compatibility:

Carestream has a documented validation and verification process for integrating the Carestream DRX-1 System and DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors with OEM x-ray consoles that were originally installed by other manufacturers as analog or computed radiography x-ray systems. The modifications made to the existing x-ray system are limited to integration between the hand-switch and its connector to the x-ray system console. Sales and service personnel are qualified to determine whether the Carestream DRX-1 System can be integrated with a particular x-ray system. Once installed, proper operation is verified before the system is turned over for use on patients.

As of March 21, 2013, the systems listed in the Compatibility List (Table 1) have been found compatible with the Carestream DRX-1 System. This list may be updated in the future to include additional compatible systems.

Table 1

The Beam Detect Mode allows integration with OEM systems where there is no access to intercept the Prep/Expose signal. The user commands the detector to get prepared for an exposure on the Carestream DRX-1 System Console and separately asserts the "expose" command to the x-ray generator when the Console indicates the detector is ready. The detector determines when an exposure has arrived and captures the image.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the new detectors are equivalent to the DRX Plus 3543 Detectors in all applicable parameters recommended by the Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State Imaging Devices. Image quality parameters such as DQE, sensitivity, and MTF of the DRX Plus 4343 and DRX Plus 4343C Detectors demonstrate this. The tests used to determine these parameters were performed using industry standards.

The new detectors have been tested to conform to applicable existing specifications of the predicate DRX Plus 3543 Detectors. Quality Assurance tests with traceable links to design inputs were performed to verify conformance to specifications. In addition, tests were included to confirm mitigation of risks identified in an extensive product hazard risk analysis based on results of a Failure Mode Effects Analysis.
