The document describes a standard digital radiography system that converts x-rays to digital images for viewing and manipulation. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for image analysis, diagnosis, or any other function. The performance studies focus on basic functional requirements, software verification, and safety standards, not AI/ML performance metrics.
No
The description states the device is used for diagnostic purposes by capturing and manipulating dental x-ray images, not for treating any condition or disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the electronic impulses "may be stored, viewed and manipulated for diagnostic use by dentists."
No
The device description explicitly states it includes a "reusable electronic sensor" which is a hardware component, not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The SunilQ Digital Radiography system is an imaging device that uses X-rays to create images of dental structures. It does not analyze biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for collecting and processing dental X-ray images for diagnostic use by dentists. This is a form of medical imaging, not in vitro testing.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is a medical imaging system, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SunilQ Digital Radiography system is used to collect dental x-ray photons and convert them into electronic impulses that may be stored, viewed and manipulated for diagnostic use by dentists.

Device Description
The SuniIQ Digital Radiography System reduces x-ray exposure by producing real time digital intra-oral images. The System accomplishes this by replacing X-ray film with a reusable electronic sensor that captures the X-ray photons and converts them to an electronic signal which, in turn, is captured in a computer for viewing, manipulating, storing, and output. There are two models of the SunilQ. The only difference between the two models is the size of the sensor. The sensor sizes correspond to #1 and #2 dental film.
The SuniIQ Sensor (1) incorporates a CMOS detector for capture and imaging of x-ray photons. The sensor is encapsulated into a plastic housing and is connected via a cable to the SuniIO USB interface electronics module (2). The USB-interface has two LEDs that indicate USB power (4) and interface activity (5).
The USB Interface is connected to a USB cable using a type "mini-B" USB connector (3). The other end of this cable terminates in a USB plug (6) for connection to a USB port on the host computer.
The System also includes software drivers that control the USB interface module and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which allows the user access to the data and to control functions of the System.
The SuniIQ is intended to be used with dedicated dental x-ray Imaging software to provide the dental professional user the benefits of "real time" imaging system. The software manufactured by Apteryx (K983111) is such dedicated dental software for dental x-ray imaging.
The System sensors are available in two formats. The #2 size (400-1322) is a larger sensor typical of the European format and the # 1 size (400-1321) is an intermediate size. The sensors consist of a CMOS type integrated circuit, and a high resolution scintillator screen that converts the photons from the X-rays into visible light, which is then acquired by the CMOS imaging integrated circuit. The sensors are encapsulated in a plastic enclosure with a three-foot cable that is connected to the USB interface electronics module.
The USB interface electronics module plugs into a computer USB port via a supplied USB cable. The USB interface electronics module contains the support and control circuitry for the sensor and allows for data communications with the computer. The USB interface electronics module contains all necessary circuits for sensor data acquisition as well as memory for firmware control of the CMOS X-ray sensor and USB. The USB interface electronics module communicates with the computer under control of a specific device driver that is active with the GUL.
The system software functions on three levels: (1) The computer operating system (Microsoft Windows) controls the computer, user interface, and file structure; (2) Primary control of the sensor and bus functions is achieved by proprietary software and is either embedded firmware or in non-user accessible drivers; and (3) A Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows the user to control the x-ray function, control of the sensor data acquisition, and image viewing. manipulation and output. Examples of the GUI include image capture, enhanced viewing features (zoom, pan, colorize, contrast/brightness, comparative analysis, etc.) image organization, and storage.

PREDICATE DEVICE | SuniRay II Digital Radiography System - K070219 |
SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO:
The SuniIQ Digital Radiography System is substantially equivalent in intended use and technological features to the SuniRay II Digital Radiography System (K070219).
SUMMARY OF SIMILARITIES / DIFFERENCES:
The SuniIQ Digital Radiography system shares the same design features as the predicate device and does not introduce any new technological characteristics. Following are the shared features:
Both devices convert x-rays to digital images using an indirect x-ray detector:
4
SECTION 2.
- . The scintillator converts x-ray energy into visible light in proportion to the x-ray energy received.
- A fiber optic plate coupled to the scintillator passes the visible light to the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor while blocking x-ray energy.
- The visible light is captured by the circuitry of the CMOS sensor, converting visible light into an electrical signal proportional to the visible light received.
- An analog to digital converter processes the signal prior to transfer to the host computer via the USB cable.
The primary difference between the two devices is that the CMOS in the SuniIQ incorporates an improved pixel design that increases the surface area of the transistors, which supports increasing the pixel voltage resetting value from 2.9 V to 3.5 V. This allows more x-ray converted charge to be integrated into each pixel, resulting in a 30% increase in x-ray exposure range over the SuniRay II. The SunilO also incorporates an improved system for image correction compared to the SuniRayII, with a 2D fault correction map that is derived from characterization of each pixel. Finally, the outer jacket of the sensor incorporates a green colorant; the outer jacket of the predicate SuniRayII has a black colorant.
The software components of the SuniIO (SuniIO USB software version 2.0 and SuniIQ Driver SDK version 10.0.1.2) provide the features of the software components of the predicate device, and add the functionality of a new sensor type and an optional filter algorithm. As with the predicate device, the software does not incorporate a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or other user-controlled image processing/viewing functionality.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:
The SuniIQ Digital Radiography System reduces x-ray exposure by producing real time digital intra-oral images. The System accomplishes this by replacing X-ray film with a reusable electronic sensor that captures the X-ray photons and converts them to an electronic signal which, in turn, is captured in a computer for viewing, manipulating, storing, and output.
