No
The description focuses on hardware modifications (Wi-Fi addition) and image acquisition/transfer, with no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
This device is described as an "x-ray image acquisition device" for diagnostic purposes, not for treatment.
Yes
This device is a medical x-ray image acquisition device intended for taking diagnostic radiographic exposures of various body parts. The resulting images are then displayed and can be transferred, aiding in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a medical x-ray image acquisition device that includes a detector (hardware) and interfaces (Wi-Fi, Ethernet), in addition to software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for taking diagnostic radiographic exposures of various body parts. This is an in vivo diagnostic procedure, meaning it involves examining the inside of a living body.
- Device Description: The description details an X-ray image acquisition device that converts X-rays penetrating the patient's body into a digital file. This process is directly related to imaging the internal structures of a living patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device does not involve the analysis of such specimens.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device used for in vivo diagnosis, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Intended for use by a qualified/trained doctor or technologist on both 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

Device Description
This device is a medical x-ray image acquisition device. X-rays generated by a X-ray generator/ tube that penetrate patient's body are converted to a digital file by the detector. After that the detector sends this digital file to a pc where the companion software has been installed. This software was cleared in our previous submission, K170202. A monitor displays this image. Images can then be transferred via the DICOM protocol. This device is nearly identical to the predicate but now the digital panels have Wi-Fi in addition to Ethernet interfaces. The Aquarius 8600 will be marketed in two possible configurations: Aquarius 8600 1717WCl (tethered or wireless), 17 x 17 inch flat panel as a retrofit package with Magellan software). Aquarius 8600 1417WCl (tethered or wireless), 14 x 17 inch flat panel as a retrofit package with Magellan software).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical tests: The unit has undergone electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, as well as integration validation and risk analysis. Bench testing for imaging characteristics such as MTF and DQE was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document on Solid State Imaging Devices: "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices." Labeling complies with FDA guidelines.
Clinical tests: Clinical images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modifications to the device (note x-ray system that uses previously cleared detectors) but they provide further evidence in addition to bench testing data to show that the complete system works as intended.

Dear Daniel Kamm:
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.
