The description focuses on image processing techniques ("Virtual Grid Software") to improve contrast by reducing scatter radiation, which is a traditional image processing method, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of training data, models, or adaptive learning.
No
The device is described as a radiographic image capture system, which is used for diagnosis, not therapy. Its function is to acquire and digitize x-ray exposures of human anatomy. While it mentions dose reduction, this is a benefit related to imaging, not a therapeutic intervention.
No
This device captures radiographic images for display and does not interpret or diagnose medical conditions from those images. Its function is image acquisition, not diagnostic interpretation.
No
The device description clearly details a "Flat Panel Detector System" which is a hardware component used to acquire radiographic images. While it includes optional software ("Virtual Grid Software"), the core device is a hardware system.
Based on the provided text, 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "Flat Panel Detector System" intended to "capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy." It acquires and digitizes x-ray exposures.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is solely related to capturing and processing radiographic images.
The device is a medical imaging device used for general projection radiography, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Wireless/Wired FDR D-EVO flat panel detector system is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications including pediatric and neonatal exams wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. The FDR D-EVO is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications. The FDR D-EVO can be used with Virtual Grid Software, which is optional image processing software installed on Fujifilm's FDX Console. Virtual Grid Software can be used in lieu of an anti-scatter grid to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation.

Device Description
Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) is a portable digital detector system that interfaces with, and acquires and digitizes x-ray exposures, from standard radiographic systems. The FDR D-EVO is designed to be used in any environment that would typically use a radiographic cassette for examinations of adults, pediatrics and neonates. The detector models support both wireless and wired/tethered data communication between the detector and the system. Detectors can be placed in a wall bucky for upright exams, a table bucky for recumbent exams, or removed from the bucky for non-grid exams.
The FDR D-EVO can be used with or without Virtual Grid Software, which is optional image processing software installed on Fujifilm's FDX Console. The Virtual Grid Software was originally designed to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation, primarily for exams acquired without a grid. Initially, the anatomical regions of the software were for chests and abdomens only, where the effects of scatter radiation can be prominent if a grid is not used. The user can decide whether or not to apply the Virtual Grid image processing by turning it ON or OFF as they see fit based on the displayed image. The same software is also offered with other legally marketed Fujifilm DR Systems that use the same FDX Console as the acquisition workstation since this post-processing algorithm does not depend on how the image is acquired, or with what acquisition device.
Since the K141765 clearance, however, several improvements have been made in order to expand the effectiveness of the Virtual Grid Software, which is the reason of the new submission. The improvements are 1) expansion of target body parts to cover the whole anatomy, 2) target image format to include images obtained by Fujifilm's CR systems, and 3) adding a new claim that Virtual Grid Software can be used in lieu of an antiscatter grid.
An additional benefit of using the Virtual Grid Software involves X-ray radiation dose. It is a well-known practice that exposure conditions should be increased when a hardware grid is used in order to compensate for the primary X-ray energy absorbed by the grid strips. On the other hand, since the Virtual Grid processing can be applied to images taken without a grid. Virtual Grid can achieve image contrast equivalent to that of a hardware grid, but at lower dose levels than are needed when using a hardware grid. Based on Fujifilm's performance testing and image quality evaluation results, a maximum dose reduction of 50% when using VG with Fuiifilm DR detectors can achieve comparable image quality when compared to using a real grid.
Virtual Grid Software comes with some limitations such as VG should not be applied to images that were acquired with a real grid. VG cannot be applied to images that were acquired prior to the VG software installation. VG can only be used for selected exposure menus listed in the manual. VG should not be used for images acquired with additional beam filtration.
Device Integration: The FDR D-EVO can be used with any legally-marketed and appropriately certified X-ray source. If FDR D-EVO is used with the optional Hand Switch Interface Box, a connection to the X-ray source/qenerator's timing signals (prep and exposure signals) is necessary. Even if such timing signals are not available, the FDR D-EVO can acquire an image using Automatic x-ray detection function (known as 'SmartSwitch' in the US), so the limitation is neqligible.

.. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Wireless/Wired FDR D-EVO flat panel detector system is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications including pediatric and neonatal exams wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. The FDR D-EVO is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications.

Virtual Grid Software can be used in lieu of an anti-scatter grid to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation.
= SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
FDR D-EVO FPD System (DR-ID600) continues to offer 600 series detectors with two different scintillator materials - GOS (Gadolinium oxysulfide) or Csl (Cesium lodide) and various detector sizes to choose from. All detector characteristics including indirect conversion method using Fujifilm's unique Irradiated Side Sampling (ISS) technology, pixel pitch (150µm), resolution (16 bit), DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) measurements, MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) performance remains the same. The wireless communication feature, and automatic x-ray detection function (known as 'SmartSwitch' in the US) also stay unaffected by the changes. The same acquisition workstation, FDX Console will continue to support FDR D-EVO FPD System (DR-ID600), but FDX Console v9.0 or later will release the Improved Virtual Grid Software.
IV. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The FDR D-EVO FPD System (DR-ID600) with Improved Virtual Grid Software is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed device:
| Legally Marketed Device | 510(k) # | Clearance Date |
|---|---|---|
| FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) | K141765 | 10/3/2014 |
The Virtual Grid Software was cleared with FDR D-EVO in K141765 as optional software installed in the acquisition workstation, FDX Console. The FDR D-EVO's detector characteristics as well as other major features such as wireless communication and automatic x-ray detection function ('SmartSwitch') remain unchanged. The FDR D-EVO can be used with or without Virtual Grid Software, and the improvements made to the Virtual Grid Software do not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the legally marketed device.
V. SUMMARY OF STUDIES
Non-clinical Performance Data: The conformity to the voluntary standards such as AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62304, IEC 62366, IEC 62494-1 and DICOM remains unaffected. As required by the risk analysis, all verification and validation activities related to the improvements made to the Virtual Grid Software were performed and the results were satisfactory. Additionally the bench

testing and image quality evaluation demonstrated that Virtual Grid Software can achieve image contrast equivalent to that of a hardware grid, but at lower dose levels than are needed when using a hardware grid. The results of the bench testing and image evaluation are provided in the submission.
Clinical Performance Data: The changes do not require clinical studies. The substantial equivalence has been demonstrated by non-clinical studies.
VI. CONCLUSION
Based upon the supporting data summarized above, we concluded the Improved Virtual Grid Software offered with FDR D-EVO Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID600) is as safe and effective as the legally marketed device K141765 and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than K141765.
