The uDR 780i digital medical x-ray system is intended for use by a qualified/trained doctor or technician on both adult and pediatric subjects for taking diagnostic radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other anatomic sites. Applications can be performed with the subject sitting, standing, or lying in the prone or supine position. Not for mammography.
The uDR 780i is a digital radiography (DR) system that is designed to provide radiography examinations of sitting, standing or lying patients. It consists of the following components: Tube Ceiling Suspension with tube and collimator, Bucky Wall Stand, Elevating Table, High Voltage Generator, wireless flat panel detectors and an acquisition workstation. The system generates images which can be transferred through DICOM network for printing, review and storage.
Based on the provided text, the device in question (uDR 780i) is a digital medical X-ray system, not an AI-powered diagnostic device. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate conventional X-ray system, rather than an AI/ML algorithm's performance on a diagnostic task like detecting pathology.
The document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device. For devices like this, the "acceptance criteria" are generally compliance with recognized performance standards and demonstration that the device's technical specifications and intended use are substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The "study" largely involves non-clinical bench testing and a review of clinical images by an expert to confirm diagnostic quality.
Here's the breakdown of information based on the typical requirements for an AI/ML medical device, applied to this conventional X-ray system where applicable:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a Conventional X-ray System)
The acceptance criteria are not explicitly laid out in a quantifiable table as they would be for an AI diagnostic device (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, the "acceptance" is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (NOVA FA DR System, K133782) regarding intended use, technological characteristics, safety, and effectiveness.

Study Information (as applicable for a conventional X-ray system submission)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document states "Sample clinical images accompanied by dose information and information detailing acquisition protocols and parameters were reviewed." It does not specify a numerical sample size for this "test set" of images.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically for 510(k) submissions of conventional imaging devices, real-world images from a hospital or clinic would be used. The document is from Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. in CHINA, implying the images could be from China, but this is not explicitly stated. It's a retrospective review of generated images, not implied as prospective.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- One expert was used: "a board certified radiologist".
- Qualifications: "board certified radiologist with a statement indicating that images are of diagnostic quality." No specific years of experience are mentioned.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- "None" explicitly described for establishing ground truth from multiple readers. There was only one radiologist reviewer for the "clinical images."
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done:
- No. This type of study (MRMC comparing human readers with and without AI assistance) is not applicable or mentioned because the uDR 780i is a conventional X-ray system, not an AI-powered diagnostic assist device. The "effectiveness" is demonstrated through substantial equivalence to a predicate device and diagnostic quality of images.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a conventional X-ray system. The "performance" is about image quality for human interpretation, not an algorithm's standalone diagnostic ability. The statement "images are of diagnostic quality" indicates that the images produced by the device, when viewed by a human expert, are sufficient for diagnosis.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Expert consensus (from a single board-certified radiologist) on the diagnostic quality of the images generated by the device. It's about image quality, not the presence or absence of specific pathologies based on a gold standard (like pathology or outcomes data).
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. As a conventional X-ray system, there isn't an AI model with a distinct "training set" in the sense of machine learning. The system's "training" refers to its design and engineering adhering to standards and producing high-quality images.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable for the same reason as point 7. The "ground truth" here is the engineering and design principles that ensure the system produces diagnostically acceptable images, confirmed through non-clinical testing and expert review of clinical images.

Dear Xin GAO:
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
