Device Description:
Device Description
The DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System (also referred to as the DRX-Revolution Nano) is a diagnostic mobile x-ray system utilizing digital radiography (DR) technology. The system consists of a self contained x-ray generator, image receptor(s), imaging display and software for acquiring medical diagnostic images outside of a standard stationary x-ray room. The DRX-Revolution Nano system can also be used to expose CR storage phosphor screen or film cassettes.
4
The DRX-Revolution Nano system is designed to be used with the following legally marketed solid state imaging devices (referred to throughout this document as "detectors"):
- Carestream DRX-1 Detector (K090318); o
- Carestream DRX-1C Detector (K120062)
- DRX Plus 3543 Detector and DRX Plus 3543C Detector (K150766) ●
- DRX Plus 4343 Detector and DRX Plus 4343C Detector (K153142) ●
- DRX Core 3543 Detector (Relabeled version of the DRX Plus 3543 Detector) ●

- . DRX Core 4343 Detector (Relabeled version of the DRX Plus 4343 Detector)
- DRX Core 4343C Detector (Relabeled version of the DRX Plus 4343C Detector ●
- DRX 2530C Detector (K130464) ●
These detectors are commercially available for use with other Carestream products or as standalone devices. Image acquisition software for the detectors is integrated with the mobile x-ray system's user interface.
The DRX-Revolution Nano contains several wireless components that facilitate its use. Specifically, the Carestream detectors communicate to the console wirelessly, eliminating the need for cables that can hinder efficient workflow. The detector is also capable of communicating to the console via a wired ("tethered") connection if desired. Other peripheral wireless components include a badge reader for employee sign-in, an optional 2D barcode reader (for patient ID), and wireless communication capability with the hospital network.
Indications for Use
The Indications for Use for the device, as described in its labeling, are: «The device is designed to perform radiographic x-ray examinations on pediatric and adult patients, in all patient treatment areas."
Intended Use
The intended use for this device, as determined by descriptions and the proposed labeling contained in this submission, is similar to the Indications for Use statement provided above. The DRX-Revolution Nano is a mobile system used to generate and control x-rays for diagnostic procedures. We believe that the DRX-Revolution Nano and the predicate device have the same intended use.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
Based upon information provided within this submission, we believe that the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System. At a high level, the subject device and predicate devices are based on the same technological elements as listed below:
- X-ray generator ●
- X-ray tube ●
- Collimator
- Graphical user interface ●
- Operator console with Touchscreen Display ●
- Battery powered mobile cart ●
- Flat panel detector and o
- System software with image processing capability ●
- Optional IR remote o
The following technological characteristics in the subject device are different from those of the predicate device:
- Stationary anode X-ray tube
- Lower powered generator
- Collimator has lower projection radiography range ●
- Elimination of auxiliary Touchscreen Display on the tube head ●
- Use of different battery technology
- o Smaller sized cart
- Manually driven ●
- Use of articulating arm with increased rotation o
The DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System (Nano) and the DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System both consist of an x-ray generator, x-ray tube, collimator, optional Infrared remote and graphical user interface on an operator console with touch screen monitor. These components are mounted on a mobile cart to enable the device to be moved from location to location. Both systems utilize a digital flat panel detector for image capture and can also be used to expose CR storage phosphor screen or film cassettes. Both systems have an operator console with the same image processing software. The Intended Use is the same for both devices.
Both systems have operator console software that is based on the DirectView platform, but specific user interface screens and software components are specific to the DRX-Revolution Nano device. These screens were developed to control and manage the DRX-Revolution Nano's hardware subsystems including its X-ray generator. All of the embedded software and subsystem firmware of the DRX-Revolution Nano was developed specifically for the new (Nano) hardware system.
6
The DRX-Revolution Nano offers hardware features (such as an articulating arm) that are different from the predicate device. These features are designed to aid the user in achieving an efficient workflow but do not result in additional indications for use (i.e., there is no change to the intended diagnostic effect) for the new device as compared to the predicate.
Performance Testing:
The DRX-Revolution Nano conforms to the following standards:
- ISO 14971:2012 Medical device application of risk management to medical device ●
- Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
- 0 IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 3: Medical electrical equipment, Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
- IEC 60601-2-54: Medical electrical equipment Part 2-54: Particular requirements ● for the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray equipment for radiography and radioscopy.
Discussion of Testing
The performance characteristics and operation / usability of the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System were evaluated in non-clinical (bench) testing. These studies have demonstrated the intended workflow, related performance, overall function, shipping performance, verification and validation of requirements for intended use, and reliability of the system including both software and hardware requirements. Non-clinical test results have demonstrated that the device conforms to its specifications. Predefined acceptance criteria were met and test results havedemonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System in compliance to IEC 60601-1-2:2007 – Medical electrical equipment Part 1-2, Electromagnetic Compatibility.
● Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation has been provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in
7
Medical Devices." The software for this device is considered to present a "moderate" level of concern. This is based on the fact that a malfunction of or latent design flaw in the software component could lead to an erroneous diagnosis, or to a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that may lead to a minor injury.
Clinical Studies
A Clinical Study was performed to investigate the imaging performance of the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System ((investigational device) as compared to the currently marketed DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System (K120062), (predicate device). Both devices were paired with the DRX Plus 3543 detector (K150766) for execution of the clinical study.
As compared to the predicate device, the DRX-Revolution Nano is a smaller, manually driven and operated mobile x-ray system. The Nano has a collapsible arm assembly that pivots rather than the predicate's telescoping column. The image acquisition module and image processing software are unchanged from the predicate. The DRX-Revolution Nano can interface with various Carestream digital detectors including the DRX 2530C, DRX-1, DRX Plus, and DRX Core detectors, as can the predicate.
Adult cadavers were used to perform pair-wise investigational vs. predicate acquisitions using similar radiographic techniques and body positioning for 2D imaging. The images acquired included targeting various exam types such as the chest, abdomen, skull, C-Spine, L-Spine, pelvis, hip, nasal bones, shoulder, and extremity radiographs. In addition, eight pediatric phantom images were acquired on both the investigational and predicate devices in the laboratory at Carestream Health, Inc. The images were assembled and reviewed in a single stimulus random format in order to perform a Comparative Evaluation to statistically confirm the findings of this evaluation.
Results of the Reader Study demonstrated that the diagnostic capability of the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is statistically equivalent to or better than that of the predicate device.
Conclusions
Since the predicate device was cleared based in part on the results of clinical studies, clinical testing was required to support substantial equivalence in terms of diagnostic capability. Non-clinical test results support the safety and effectiveness of the device and demonstrate that the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System performs as intended in the specified conditions. Results of both non-clinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is as safe and as effective as the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
