ReadeR is a dental imaging system indicated for capturing, digitization and processing of intra oral x-ray images stored in imaging plate recording media.
ReadeR system is intended to be used only by dentist and other qualified dental professionals to process x-ray images exposed to the imaging plates from the intraoral complex of the skull.
The ReadeR is a computer radiography system which produces the x-ray diagnostic image in digital format instead of using traditional screens and film. This device does not have a wireless transmission. The device utilizes reusable x-ray storage phosphor plate (IP) that is sensitive to x-ray and stores latent image when it is exposed to x-ray. After x-ray exposure to the x-ray storage phosphor plate, x-ray storage phosphor plate is scanned by means of laser in the device. Latent image in the x-ray storage phosphor plates is released in a form of light by laser scanning. Then the light is collected and converted into a form of digital image. The signal processing is made to the digital image data such as the digital filtering, the gain and offset correction and flat fielding. The image can then be viewed on a computer workstation, adjusted if necessary, the stored locally, sent to an archive, printed or sent to PACS system.
After acquisition of the latent image from the x-ray storage phosphor plate, it is erased thoroughly to be reused.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Trident s.r.l. device, ReadeR, VieweR, QuickScan PSP. It asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the NICAL SMART MICRO CR System. However, it does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way typically expected for a new device's performance claims.
Instead, the document's core argument for substantial equivalence is that the subject device is, in essence, the same as the predicate device with minor external differences and re-branding. This means the acceptance criteria and performance are essentially inherited from the predicate device.
Here's an attempt to extract and format the information as requested, with caveats due to the nature of the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a substantial equivalence submission based on the subject device being "the same" as the predicate, there are no specific "acceptance criteria" for the subject device beyond matching the predicate's specifications. The reported performance is essentially identical to the predicate.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document mentions "Clinical images were provided" but explicitly states they "were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence" and that "bench performance data" was the primary basis. No specific sample size for a test set of clinical images used for a performance study is provided.
- Data Provenance: Not specified for any clinical images provided. The bench testing (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, software validation) was performed by laboratories in Italy and the USA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Not applicable. The document relies on the predicate device's established performance and bench testing of the subject device. There is no mention of expert-established ground truth for a clinical test set for the ReadeR device itself.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable, as no described clinical performance test set requiring adjudication is detailed.
5. 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 MRMC or comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. This device is an imaging system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and the focus is on substantial equivalence to an existing device rather than reader improvement with AI.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a hardware imaging system with associated software, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the technical specifications, the "ground truth" is the established technical specifications and performance of the legally marketed predicate device, backed by bench test results for the subject device.
- "Clinical images were provided" but their role in establishing "ground truth" or performance criteria for this 510(k) is downplayed.
- No pathology or outcomes data is referenced for the subject device.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This document describes a medical imaging device, not an AI/machine learning model that would typically have a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned for an algorithm.

Indications for Use
ReadeR is a dental imaging system indicated for capturing, digitization and processing of intraoral x-ray images stored in imaging plate recording media.
Intended Use
ReadeR system is intended to be used only by dentist and other qualified dental professionals to process x-ray images exposed to the imaging plates from the intraoral complex of the skull.
It is possible for both tooth decay and periodontal disease to be missed during a clinical exam, and radiographic evaluation of the dental and periodontal tissues is a critical segment of the comprehensive oral examination. In some cases extensive decay has been overlooked by a number of dentists prior to radiographic evaluation. So, the sensors and the PSP plates are in the best interest of the patient for improved healthcare. The ReadeR is a necessity for the dental office that is using the PSP plates.
Device Description
The ReadeR is a computer radiography system which produces the x-ray diagnostic image in digital format instead of using traditional screens and film. This device does not have a wireless transmission. The device utilizes reusable x-ray storage phosphor plate (IP) that is sensitive to x-ray and stores latent image when it is exposed to x-ray. After x-ray exposure to the x-ray storage phosphor plate, x-ray storage phosphor plate is scanned by means of laser in the device. Latent image in the x-ray storage phosphor plates is released in a form of light by laser scanning. Then the light is collected and converted into a form of digital image. The signal processing is made to the digital image data such as the digital filtering, the gain and offset correction and flat fielding. The image can then be viewed on a computer workstation, adjusted if necessary, the stored locally, sent to an archive, printed or sent to PACS system.
{5}------------------------------------------------
After acquisition of the latent image from the x-ray storage phosphor plate, it is erased thoroughly to be reused.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate
The indications for use of the subject and predicate devices are identical and the technologies are substantially equivalent.
The imaging plates are exposed to x-rays while in the patient's mouth. The plates are removed and scanned by the scanning device. The images can be viewed by the dentist and stored on a personal computer. The plates are then erased and reused.
Patient cross contamination is prevented by the use of disposable, single use plate covers.
The imaging plates are identical to those used in the predicate device, as both systems are sharing the main part (CR Reader), the only difference with the subject and predicate device is the outside cover of the devices for private labeling. (The predicate device is horizontal and the subject device is vertical.)
The following table compares technological and other characteristics of the subject and predicate device.

The above comparison shows the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in technology characteristics. The differences are highlighted and none of these differences make the subject device any less safe and effective as the predicate device. The devices vary in weight by 0.1 kg. (ReadeR being lighter in weight) due to the outer covering of the devices. The operating temperatures vary, but these devices are used in an office setting and the temperature will be controlled to a comfortable median temperature of the operating temperature range. This is also due to the outer covering of the two devices being different. The MTF on performance is listed above and the variation is that the subject device is at 0.1 sec dose and the predicate is at 0.08 sec dose, so the percentages are different. All other technological characteristics are identical. The subject and predicate devices are identical except for the outer cover and the subject device stands vertically and the predicate device is horizontal.
Non-Clinical Performance Data
The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. All tests performed are included in this submission.
Biocompatibility ... This device does not require a biocompatibility evaluation. The plate covers are commonly used and have previous approval.
Electrical Safety and EMC ... testing was performed by a qualified testing laboratory according to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. The device met the requirements according to these standards and was performed by Prima Ricercaq & Sviluppo S.r.1. of Italy.
Software ... validation of software (EN 62304) and risk analysis (ISO 14971:2012) were performed and were met according to these standards. IEC 62366:2007 for use in conjunction with 60601-1-6:2010 was performed by TUV Rheinland North America and the standards were met.
Performance Testing ... Image testing was performed to check image quality and resolution. Some of these test results are shown in the comparison table above. A quality assurance procedure and inspection was performed on the imaging plates and all testing was approved and standards were met since the predicate has CE mark and the same accessories are supplied for the subject device. Clinical images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modification of the device (note CR reader technology that is identical to the predicate) but they provide further evidence in addition to the bench performance data to show that the CR system works as intended.
Conclusion
The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and are substantially equivalent in technological characteristics and performance (since they are, in fact, the same device, with different branding for marketing purposes). The ReadeR does not raise any
{9}------------------------------------------------
questions regarding safety and effectiveness since it is the same as the predicate device. The non-clinical data supports and demonstrates the safety of the device.
The conclusion is that ReadeR (VieweR and QuickScan PSP) warrants a finding of substantial equivalence to the legally marketed original Nical Smart Micro CR System, and therefore, should have clearance for premarket activities in the United States.
