No
The summary describes a standard digital X-ray system with image processing and reconstruction algorithms (iterative reconstruction algorithm is mentioned), but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for such algorithms. The performance studies focus on traditional imaging metrics.

No
The device is used to produce images for diagnostic purposes, not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "provides diagnostic details of the maxillofacial areas for a dental and ENT treatment."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "complete digital X-ray system equipped with imaging viewers, Xray generator and a dedicated SSXI detector." This indicates it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The PaX-i3D Green Premium is an X-ray system that produces images of the oral and maxillofacial anatomy. It works by using X-rays to create images of internal structures, not by analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for diagnostic imaging of the oral anatomy and maxillofacial areas for dental and ENT treatment. This is a form of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging, not in vitro.

The device is a medical imaging device, specifically a computed tomography x-ray system, used for diagnostic purposes, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Testing

The PaX-i3D Green Premium (Model: PCT-90LH) digital X-ray system described in this 510(k) is similar to the predicate device, PaX-i3D Ortho (TON-95LH) in terms of indications for use, materials, safety characteristics, and X-ray source.

Furthermore, the following information further substantial equivalence between the subject device and predicate device:

The fundamental technological characteristics of the subject and predicate device are similar.

The sponsor tested the subject device in a laboratory and provided a non-clinical performance report. The same test protocol was used to test the predicated device for the purpose of comparing the performance between the predicate device. The sponsor certifies that adequate design and development controls (according to 21 CFR 820.30) were in place for manufacturing the subject device.

The differences are as follows.

  • The subject device is equipped with Xmaru3104CF, a SSXI detector, which is used to capture PANO, i-। CEPH, CT (Dental / ENT) images.
  • । The subject device utilizes iterative reconstruction algorithm, a CBCT imaging processing algorithm.
  • -In addition to the Dental CT mode, the subject device imaging modes; PANO, i-CEPH, ENT CT and 3D Photo.
  • -The subject device includes imaging viewer programs; EzDent-i (K150747) and Ez3D-i (K150761).

PaX-i3D Green Premium (Model: PCT-90LH), a digital radiographic imaging system is equipped with Xmaru3104CF, a SSXI detector, which is used to capture PANO, i-CEPH, Dental CT and ENT CT images. It has different active areas compared to Xmaru2430CF Master Plus of PaX-i3D Ortho (TON-95LH). Xmaru3104CF detector of the subject device offers different data output interface compared to the Xmaru2430CF Master Plus for PaX-i3D Ortho (TON-95LH). The added imaging modes of the subject device; PANO, i-CEPH and ENT CT require different radiograph exposure settings and field of view. However, the operating principles and indications for use of the radiograph imaging system remains similar as the predicate device. Both devices have the 3D photo mode which takes a 3D facial photograph of a patient and does not require X-ray exposure.

Non-clinical test was conducted for Xmaru3104CF of PaX-i3D Green Premium (Model: PCT-90LH). More specifically, the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) and Normalized Noise Power Spectrum (NNPS) performance were measured for Xmaru3104CF of the subject device and Xmaru2430CF Master Plus for the predicate device. (MTF and DQE results are objective performance evaluation parameters for a digital detector. MTF measures the resolution and expressed by the contrast difference in percentage. DQE represents the overall index for the detector's ability to converting incident X-ray into an image signal without much loss to the actual image object.) Based on the Non-Clinical Test results, the Xmaru3104CF detector has performed similarly or better than the predicate device, Xmaru2430CF Master Plus, in terms of the overall MTF and DQE performance.

The results of NNPS performance for Xmaru2430CF-Master Plus were similar. The change in the data output interface has not caused any changes in the performance or the level of artifacts. All performance parameters for both detectors have shown similar results.

The acceptance test was done according to the requirements of 21 CFR Part 1020.33 and IEC 61223-3-5, international performance standard for computed tomography X-ray system.

In addition, CT Image evaluation was performed on the finished X-ray equipment with the detector mounted. Contrast, Noise, CNR, and MTF, the representative indicators for 2D and 3D CT image quality were measured with iterative reconstruction algorithm. The results demonstrated that the general image quality of the subject device is equivalent or better than the predicate device.

The CBCT image reconstruction for PaX-i3D Green Premium (Model: PCT-90LH) applies iterative reconstruction algorithm for the reduction of noise in the CT image capture mode. Iterative reconstruction algorithm reconstructs raw data from the PaX-i3D Green Premium (Model: PCT-90LH) CBCT system to produce images containing noise levels less than or equal to images produced by standard filtered back projection reconstruction. The safety and effectiveness of iterative reconstruction algorithm have been demonstrated and confirmed by the previous 510k submission of the reference device, PaX-i3D Smart (PHT-30LFO) (K152106).
