Intended Use

The Wireless/Wired INNOLUX RIC flat panel detector 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 INNOLUX RIC is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications.

Device Description

The INNOLUX RIC Flat Panel Detector is a portable digital detector that integrated with an operating PC and an X-ray generator to acquire and digitize x-ray exposures from, standard radiographic systems and transfer for radiography diagnostic. The INNOLUX RIC 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 data communication. 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 or free cassette exams.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the INNOLUX RIC flat panel detector. The document asserts the device's substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on non-clinical performance data.

Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and study details:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document provides a comparison table between the subject device (INNOLUX RIC) and its predicate device (K142003, FDR D-EVO II Flat Panel Detector System) for various image quality and physical characteristics. The "acceptance criteria" appear to be implicit in the "Same as K142003" statements and the direct numerical comparisons, implying that the INNOLUX RIC's performance should be equivalent to or within acceptable tolerance of the predicate device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document states, "No clinical study has been performed. The substantial equivalence has been demonstrated by non-clinical studies." Therefore, there is no clinical test set, sample size, or data provenance information related to human subjects. The non-clinical studies would involve physical devices.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Since no clinical study was performed, no experts were used to establish ground truth for a clinical test set.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical study was performed.

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

Not applicable. This device is a flat panel detector, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and no clinical human reader study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

The document specifies "non-clinical studies" were performed to evaluate the image quality and other characteristics of the device. This implies rigorous testing of the device itself (including its underlying software/algorithms for image acquisition and processing) in a standalone manner, without human interpretation for diagnostic purposes. The image quality evaluation concluded that the INNOLUX RIC detectors are "substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device." While not explicitly called "standalone algorithm performance," it aligns with evaluating the device's inherent technical capabilities.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the non-clinical studies, the "ground truth" would be established by objective physical measurements and comparisons against established engineering and performance standards (e.g., DQE, MTF measurements, dimensional specifications) and the performance of the predicate device. This is not clinical ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a hardware component (flat panel detector) with associated software for image acquisition and processing, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a separate "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" in this context would refer to the engineering design and optimization process.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set in the AI sense. The "ground truth" for the device's design and engineering would be based on engineering specifications, physical laws, and performance targets derived from the predicate device and relevant industry standards.

§ 892.1680 Stationary x-ray system.

(a)
Identification. A stationary x-ray system is a permanently installed diagnostic system intended to generate and control x-rays for examination of various anatomical regions. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A radiographic contrast tray or radiology diagnostic kit intended for use with a stationary x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
