(174 days)
Intended for use by a qualified/trained doctor or technologist on both adult and pediatric patients for taking diagnostic radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, extremities, and other body parts on both adult and pediatic patients. Applications can be performed with patient sitting, standing or lying in the prone or supine positions. Not intended for mammography.
The Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 1417TG are digital flat panels, specifically termed solid state digital X-Ray detector. This technology couples a scintillator with an a-Si TFT sensor, and through integration with a radiographic imaging system, x-ray images can be captured and digitalized. The resulting RAW files are DICOM 3.0 compatible allowing image files to be processed by IDC Magellan software.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Study Information:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of images or cases in the provided text for the DQE, MTF, NPS, or visual assessment tests. For the visual assessment, it mentions "laboratory images using phantoms were acquired." These are likely a set of standardized phantom images.
- Data Provenance: The data for DQE, MTF, and NPS are from "measured" curves, implying direct testing of the device hardware. The visual assessment used "laboratory images using phantoms." This suggests the data is prospectively generated from controlled laboratory settings, not from patient data. The country of origin for the testing is not specified, but the applicant company is located in Canada.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: One (a single Radiological Technologist).
- Qualifications: "A Radiological Technologist certified in the United States of America and Canada." Specific experience level (e.g., years) is not provided.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- No adjudication method is described for the visual assessment. A single expert made the determination without mention of a consensus or tie-breaking process. For the DQE, MTF, and NPS, these are quantitative measurements that do not require expert adjudication.
-
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:
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The submission states: "No clinical testing was performed for this special 510(k) submission." The visual assessment mentioned was a comparison of phantom images by a single technologist, not a clinical study involving multiple readers assessing patient cases. Also, this device is an X-ray detector, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, so improvement with AI assistance is not applicable in this context.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This is not applicable as the device is a digital X-ray detector, not a standalone algorithm. Its performance is measured directly through physical parameters (DQE, MTF, NPS) and its ability to produce diagnostic images.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the DQE, MTF, and NPS measurements, the "ground truth" is generally considered to be the intrinsic physical properties of the detector, measured against established standards and methodologies.
- For the visual assessment, the "ground truth" was the subjective opinion of a single certified Radiological Technologist comparing images from the proposed device to the predicate device using phantoms.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable/Not provided. This device is a hardware component (digital flat panel detector) and associated software for image acquisition and processing. It does not employ machine learning or AI models that require specific "training sets." The IDC Magellan software underwent "full system level verification, validation and regression testing" as part of its development, but this is software testing, not ML model training.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no specific "training set" in the context of machine learning model development for this device. The software validation relies on established software engineering principles and testing against specifications inherent to its function.

- Compliance to NEMA PS 3.1-3.20 "Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set
Key Technology Differences:
- A. The only difference between the predicate device and the subject devices is the use of a variant scintillator. The proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 1417TG subject device use Gadox scintillators whereas the predicate device uses Cesium Iodide scintillators.
Risk management activities are based on ISO 14971:2007 "Medical Devices – Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices". As identified in the IDC FMEA Risk Assessment, there are no differences in risk based on this change.
The scintillator differences between the predicate device and the proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 1417TG devices does not affect device performance.
- B. Software: IDC Magellan 3 software was integrated for use on the proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 1417TG flat panel medical devices. The operating systems for the proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 14147TG flat panels are identical to the predicate Aquarius 8600 1717TC model. IDC will supply the workstation and software with the medical devices proposed in this 510(k) application.
No changes were made to the previously cleared 1717SGC and 1417PGA detectors and associated firmware for the proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG medical device.
No changes were made to the IDC Magellan 3 software for integration with the previously cleared 1717SCC and 1417PCA flat panels for the proposed Aquarius 8600 1717TG and Aquarius 8600 1417TG medical devices. As regular software maintenance was performed, full system level verification, validation and regression testing was performed.
No changes have been made to the IDC Magellan 3 software for integration with potential wireless technology. The FDA will be notified if changes will be required for wireless technology, at which time a separate premarket application will be submitted.
