No
The description focuses on basic image processing, management, and hardware components without mentioning any AI/ML capabilities.
No.
The device is described as an imaging system for diagnostic purposes (digital image capture use in podiatry radiographic examinations), not for treating or preventing diseases.
Yes
The device is intended for digital image capture in podiatry radiographic examinations, which are used to generate images for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a combination of digital imaging software, a flat panel display (FPD), a PC-based computer, and a power supply, indicating it includes hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "digital image capture use in podiatry radiographic examinations". This describes a device used for capturing images of the body using X-rays, which is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging process, not an in vitro (outside the living body) diagnostic process.
- Device Description: The components described (flat panel display, PC-based computer, software, power supply, X-ray generator) are all consistent with a medical imaging system used for capturing images of the body.
- Input Imaging Modality: The input modality is X-ray, which is used for imaging the internal structures of the body.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is Podiatry, which refers to the feet and ankles, again indicating imaging of a part of the living body.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests.

Device Description
The Televere Podiatry Digital Imaging System consists of a combination of digital imaging software, a flat panel display (FPD), a PC-based computer, and a power supply. The PC based computer, x-ray generator and the power-supply are necessary for a the subject device. The imaging software has previously been cleared by FDA (i.e., K061035, TigerView Professional) and is being used unchanged in the subject device. This previously cleared software provides basic image adjustment features - an image management system allowing the physician to acquire, display, edit (e.g., resize, adjust contrast, crop, etc.), review, store, print, and distribute medical images within a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environment. TigerView Professional runs on standard PC-compatible computers and is compatible with capture devices which attach to the computer using a Network Adaptor, USB port, PCI slot, parallel port, memory card, S-video port on a video capture card, or SCSI card.
The FPD component seeking clearance (VarexPaxScan2530C) has not been previously cleared by FDA as an individualcomponent. TheFPD usesalarge-areaamorphous silicon sensorarraywith a gadolinium oxysulfide(GadOx) scintillator for displayinghigh qualityimagesoverawiderangeofdosesettingsand is intended to be integrated into a complete X-ray system. This premarket notification seeks clearance for a combination finished device consisting of the combination of the previously cleared digital imaging software and the FPD component. The combination of the digital imaging software and the FPD does not affectthesafetyorefficacyofeithercomponent device alone,orin combination. A gigabit Ethernet port allows for tethered, non-wireless data transmission.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing was conducted for Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility based on IEC Standards. The panel power supply is UL Listed. MTF and DQE measurements were compared between the original and modified scintillator versions of the panel and found to be similar enough. The MTF and DQE performance of the new panel is substantially equivalent to the predicate panel. The digital panel manufacturer conducted performance testing according to the FDA guidance document for solid state digital x-ray panels. Risk Analysis and System operation verification tests were conducted. Confirmation testing was performed as no software modifications were required.
Sample clinical images from the new device were provided but not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Dear Robert Bakin:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
