Intended Use

The GMR40 Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use with portable radiographic applications wherever conventional screen-film systems or computed radiography (CR) may be used. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.

Device Description

GMR40 DR Upgrade System (GMR40) integrates a traditional analog portable X-ray system with the speed and image quality benefits of digital capture technology to produce high quality images. The GMR40 can transition a portable system like GE AMX 4 / 4+ into a portable DR solution, improving the workflow of any cassette-based exam. This is a retrofit system consisting of Detector, Power supply box, Battery pack, Battery charger, Access point, CIB (Control Interface Box), Workstation and Main cable. This retrofit system is designed to generate a digital image while using the current analogue Xray system by upgrading only the part of an analogue cassette film to the digital panel (detector), and does not get involved in controlling X-ray radiation related parameters, which is still controlled by the existing X-ray system.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study information for the GMR40 device:

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It is not a detailed study report. Therefore, much of the information typically found in an independent study (like specific sample sizes for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies) is either not present or is inferred based on the comparison to the predicate device. The document explicitly states that the image quality of the GMR40 is considered the same as the predicate (GR40CW) because the key image acquisition components and software are identical.


Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly list "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of numerical thresholds for a new clinical study. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for this 510(k) revolve around demonstrating that the GMR40 system, despite modifications as a retrofit kit, maintains the same performance as its predicate device (GR40CW) while meeting relevant safety and regulatory standards.

The primary performance metric is the assertion of identical image quality and functional equivalence for its intended use.

Here's a table based on the provided comparison:

Study Information

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

    • Test Set Size: Not explicitly stated as a separate "test set" for a clinical study. The device was "installed and tested on GE AMX 4 & 4+ models." This suggests testing on physical units. No information on the number of images or patients.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified. The verification and validation activities were internal to NeuroLogica Corporation. It's implied to be laboratory/engineering testing rather than clinical data from a specific country or patient population.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Primarily engineering verification and validation. Not a clinical retrospective or prospective study as typically understood for clinical efficacy.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Number of Experts: Not mentioned.
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not mentioned.
    • Given the nature of the submission (substantial equivalence based on physical and software component identity), expert evaluation of ground truth for a clinical dataset would not be the primary focus.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Adjudication Method: Not mentioned. This type of clinical adjudication is not relevant to the engineering and comparative performance testing described.
  4. 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:

    • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is an X-ray imaging system retrofit kit, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool for interpretation assistance. The focus is on the hardware's image acquisition and processing capabilities.
    • Effect Size: Not applicable.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Standalone Performance: The core components (detector panel and imaging software) are stated to be "identical to the predicate device GR40CW." Nonclinical testing data for these components (MTF, DQE) was provided in conformance to FDA guidance. While not a "standalone algorithm" in the AI sense, the imaging performance itself (what the device produces) is evaluated independently of human interpretation in terms of technical metrics.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Ground Truth: For the technical performance aspects (MTF, DQE), the "ground truth" would be the physical measurements and established scientific standards for X-ray imaging device performance. For functional aspects (battery life, connectivity), the ground truth is the expected operational specifications. There is no mention of clinical ground truth (like pathology or outcomes) for a test set, as this is a device modification submission, not a demonstration of a new diagnostic capability.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Training Set Size: Not applicable. This is a hardware/software system retrofit, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for the software would be its development and testing against specifications, not data-driven machine learning.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The software (S-Station and power management) was "validated" against its design specifications and intended functionality.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Differences:

The differences identified in the above table are described in further detail.

1. Indications for Use

The indications for use has been modified to make the retrofit unit compatible to portable analog x-ray systems instead of the fixed systems predicate device GR40CW

{8}------------------------------------------------

(K153401) is intended for. The Detector, Power supply box, Battery pack, Battery charger, Access point, Control Interface Box (CIB) from the predicate device GR40CW (K153401) remain the same for the proposed device GMR40.

2. Monitor

The GMR40 monitor has the same resolution as the predicate device GR40CW (K153401) however the screen size is slightly bigger and provides touchscreen functionality.

3. Power Management System

The hybrid controller is a medical grade power management system designed for use with sealed lead acid batteries in mobile / point of care products for hospitals and long term healthcare facilities. The unit uses microprocessor based technology for intelligent charging, reconditioning, state of charge monitoring and DC power control. It is designed, manufactured and certified to the EN 60601 medical equipment standard.

4. Lead Acid Batteries

The retrofit kit is self-powered through its own internal batteries which are valve regulated lead acid batteries. These sealed lead acid batteries are UL recognized and are designed to withstand overcharge, overdischarge and resisting vibration and shock.

5. Workstation CPU

This is an off the shelf equipment that has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The performance of the S-Station (Operational Software) and the power management system software have been validated as well and do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns.

The differences noted above were tested both internally through our verification and validation. These activities tested that the retrofit kit can be operated on battery power or when plugged into a wall outlet for charging besides confirming the operation of the device and wireless connectivity of the detector panel. Usage time, battery functionality, power voltages, PC performance and control interface were verified during the testing. In addition, all modifications were evaluated as part of the system that was tested for product safety (IEC 60601-1) and EMC / EMI (IEC 60601-1-2). The integrated GMR40 retrofit system was installed and tested on GE AMX 4 & 4+ models. The testing ensured that the modifications were successfully integrated and that GMR40 performs as designed.

{9}------------------------------------------------

As these modifications do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns, the results demonstrate the GMR40 system is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to the currently marketed GR40CW system (K153401).

Safety, EMC and Performance Data:

Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing were conducted according to standard ES 60601-1 (2012), and EMC testing was conducted according to IEC 60601-1-2 (2007). Wireless function was tested and verified following the FDA Guidance for Radio frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices. All test results were compliant with the standards.

In addition to conformance to the above harmonized standards, GMR40 quality assurance activities include the following:

  • Risk analysis and mitigation
  • . System verification and validation testing
  • 트 Testing at unit level

The software contained in the proposed device has been developed based on the FDA Guidance for Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices and the in addressing cybersecurity issues considered the FDA guidance document Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.

The performed verification and validation testing activity confirmed that GMR40 was successfully integrated into radiographic systems where conventional screen-film systems or CR is used and that it performs as designed.

Non-clinical Data:

The digital detector is identical to the predicate device GR40CW (K153401). Nonclinical testing data was provided in conformance to the FDA "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid-State X-ray Imaging Devices", which includes MTF and DQE measurements as tested by IEC 6220-1. The proposed device non-clinical testing data such as MTF and DQE measurements is identical to the predicate device. It conforms to the followings: ISO 14971, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Subchapter J 1020.30 and 1020.31.

Clinical Data:

{10}------------------------------------------------

Image quality of the GMR40 is the same in comparison to the predicate device GR40CW (K153401) since the major image acquisition components such as the detector panel and the imaging software are identical to GR40CW.

Conclusion:

Based upon the above considerations, NeuroLogica Corporation, subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, believes that the GMR40 (proposed device) is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed devices.
