Intended Use
The CareView 1500P detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures. This product is not intended for mammography applications.
Device Description
CareView 1500P is a kind of portable wireless digital X-ray flat panel detectors which have 434mm×355mm imaging area. The device communicates by not only the wireless communication but also wired communication feature (Giga-bit Ethernet communication mode by backup network port) optionally. The device intercepts X-ray photons and then the scintillator emits visible spectrum photons that illuminate an array of photo detectors (a-Si) that create electrical signals. After the electrical signals are generated, it is converted to a digital value and an image will be displayed on the monitor. The detector should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-ray generator to utilize as digitalizing X-ray images and transfer for radiography diagnostic.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard digital X-ray detector and its function, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a "digital imaging solution" for "general radiographic diagnosis," indicating it is used for imaging and diagnosis, not for treating or curing a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy."

No

The device description clearly describes a physical hardware component (a portable wireless digital X-ray flat panel detector) that intercepts X-ray photons and converts them into electrical signals. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the CareView 1500P detector is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for "digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body using X-rays, which is an in vivo (within the living body) process.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device captures X-ray photons and converts them into digital images for display. This process is directly related to imaging the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. The CareView 1500P does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

Therefore, the CareView 1500P is a medical imaging device used for in vivo diagnostic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

    1. Recommended Generator Specification:
      Energy range: 40~150kVp

mA range: 10~1000mA(depending on the generator power)

ms range: 106300ms to produce 0.11000mAs (depending on the generator power)

Note: To our best knowledge, the detector is compatible with the X-ray generators with

thespecifications described above. If you have questions regarding the compatibility issue for othergenerators, please contact your distributor or CareRay.

    1. ApplicationProgram Interface (API) for system integration manufacturer
      Peripheral hardware: CareView detector connected via wired communication.

CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo, 2.93GHz or above

RAM: 2 GB or higher

Hard disk: 160 GB or higher

Monitor: 1280 x 1024 or higher

OS: Windows XP or Windows 7

Development environment: MS Visual Studio 2005

    1. X-ray exposure mode
      The synchronous connection mode is the signal transfer modebetween the X-ray generator which sends the X-ray and the detector which receives the X-ray.

CareView 1500P supported typical sync mode contains soft sync, manual sync and auto sync containing FFAED mode.

The detector can't provide feedback to the generator to terminate the x-ray exposure.

The way of connecting to the X-ray generator is shown as below:

  • a. Connection in the soft sync mode
    The detector communicates with X-ray generator by the DROC workstation and sync box

8

by a wired or wireless network connection.

  • b. Connection in the manual sync mode
    There is no interaction of sync exposure signal between the detector and X-ray generator. Users should control the exposure time manually according to exposure recommendations provided by acquisition software.

  • c. Connection in theauto sync mode
    There is no interaction of sync exposure signal between the detector and X-ray generator. Users can take to exposure at any time after the hints of permitting to exposure.

9. Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b) (1) and 807.92(b)(2)]

  • Electrical safety and EMC testing
    Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to IEC/ES 60601-1 was performed, and EMC testing was also conducted in accordance with IEC/EN 60601-1-2. All test results are satisfactory.

  • A Nonclinical and clinical considerations
    The proposed device (CareView 1500P) and predicate device (CareView 1500Cw) share most of primary product specifications including intended use, technology, material, and imaging principle, etc. Difference lies in the mechanical structure. We followed nonclinical consideration section of the Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray imaging Devices.

The differences of mechanical structure don't affect the technological parameters and clinical images.

  • A Rated Power Supply and Power Consumption
    It is mainly due to the different power of readout circuit between the both products. The two types of readout circuits were produced by different companies. Although there is a slight difference in the technology but the principles are the same.

10. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification,the CareView1500P is substantially equivalent to predicate device CareView1500Cw (K150929). Both propose and predicate devices are same in the intended use, the design principle, the applicable standards and specification. Some characteristics, for example,the mechanical structureand power of readout circuitare different. However the test reports in this

9

submission documents provide demonstration that these differences do not raise any new questions of safety andeffectiveness. Therefore, CareRay Digital Medical System Co., Ltd. concludes the CareView1500P is substantially equivalent with the predicate deviceCareView1500Cw (K150929).
