The description mentions "S/W algorithms" for Bone Suppression, but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML techniques. The performance studies focus on traditional imaging metrics and qualitative evaluations by radiologists, without mentioning AI/ML-specific performance metrics or training/test data descriptions.
No
The device is an X-ray imaging system and related software for generating and enhancing radiographic images for diagnostic purposes, not for direct therapeutic treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "Bone Suppression...is used as diagnosis assistance for areas that the image reader is interested in, such as soft tissues and lesions in the lung field." and the "Device Description" section states: "The BSI software option suppresses bone anatomy to enhance visualization of chest pathology in a companion image that is delivered in addition to the original diagnostic image." This clearly indicates its role in aiding diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states that the GC85A is a digital X-ray imaging system which includes hardware components like an X-ray transmitter, detector, signal process device, and the S-Station (Operation Software). While SimGrid and Bone Suppression are software options, they are part of a larger 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 GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System, SimGrid, and Bone Suppression are all involved in generating and processing radiographic images of the human body. They work by transmitting X-rays through the patient and capturing the resulting image.
- No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. The entire process is focused on imaging the internal structure of the body.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
The SimGrid is a technology that enhances the visibility of major clinical equipment by compensating for the decrease in contrast that is caused by scatter radiation when the portable grid is not used for portable images.
Bone Suppression is a technology that helps to create images with good lung field visibility by removing part of the ribs and clavicle with S/W algorithms. It is used as diagnosis assistance for areas that the image reader is interested in, such as soft tissues and lesions in the lung field.

Device Description
The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system is used to capture images by transmitting Xray to a patient's body. The X-ray passing through a patient's body is sent to the detector and then converted into electrical signals. These signals go through the process of amplification and digital data conversion in the signal process device before being sent to the S-Station (Operation Software) and saved in DICOM file, a standard for medical imaging. The captured images are sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) server, and can be used for reading images.
The SimGrid is a post-image processing software option which is able to compensate the contrast loss due to scatter radiations, primarily acquisitions without a physical antiscatter grid.
The Bone Suppression Image (BSI) is a post-image processing software option which provides companion images to assist diagnosis in addition to the images obtained from normal diagnosis protocol. The BSI software option suppresses bone anatomy to enhance visualization of chest pathology in a companion image that is delivered in addition to the original diagnostic image.
The SimGrid and BSI are available as options to be exclusively installed in S-station, which is a Samsung Digital X-ray operation S/W, since this post-image processing software does not depend on how the image is acquired, or with what acquisition device.
