Intended Use
The LineUP is intended to be used for 3-D imaging of the foot, knee, hand, and elbow regions to visualize and assess the osseous and certain soft tissue structures, including joint spaces, bone angles and fractures. It is also intended to capture 2-D images (standard plain x-ray projections) of the foot, knee, hand, and elbow regions. This modality is anticipated to be applicable to pediatric* cases as well as adults, when appropriate diagnosis of a given condition is considered necessary. Patient parameters: 50 lbs to 400 lbs *2D Imaging not intended for pediatric use
Device Description
The LineUP is a Cone Beam Computed Tomography Imaging Device that acquires 360-degree rotational projection sequences which are reconstructed into 3D volumetric images of the examined anatomical region. It can also capture 2D plain X-Ray projections. The device uses a gantry assembly, which is comprised of an X- ray source, image detector, and a motorized gantry facilitates the acquisition of a full X-ray projection sequence by the acquisition software. For hand and elbow scans, a patient transporter accessory allows the patient to sit and then recline into a position where he/she can comfortably place his/her anatomy into the imaging bore. The transporter can also be configured to permit a seated non-weight bearing scan of the feet. The gantry assembly is mounted on vertical actuators and can travel vertically to capture weight-bearing anatomy at various heights ranging from the feet to knee regions. The LineUP provides total vertical travel of 17 inches to accommodate patients of various sizes. Images produced by the LineUP can be sent electronically to a DICOM complaint image viewing software.

No
The summary describes a standard Cone Beam CT and 2D X-ray imaging device with a filtered back projection reconstruction algorithm. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is described as an imaging device intended for visualizing and assessing anatomical structures for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to be used for 3-D imaging and 2-D imaging of specific body regions to "visualize and assess the osseous and certain soft tissue structures, including joint spaces, bone angles and fractures" and for "appropriate diagnosis of a given condition". It produces images that are said to be of "diagnostic quality", directly supporting its role in the diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a gantry assembly, X-ray source, image detector, motorized gantry, vertical actuators, and a patient transporter accessory. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc. The tests are performed in vitro (in glass, or outside the body).
  • The LineUP is an imaging device. It uses X-rays to create images of anatomical structures within the patient's body (in vivo).

The description clearly states that the LineUP is a "Cone Beam Computed Tomography Imaging Device" and a "2D plain X-Ray projections" device used to visualize and assess structures within the foot, knee, hand, and elbow regions of patients. This is the definition of a medical imaging device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

To establish equivalency in performance, an image quality phantom was scanned in the LineUP and evaluated by a medical physicist. Anatomic hand, foot, elbow, and knee phantom scans were also reviewed by a radiologist and found to be of diagnostic quality.
Performance testing demonstrated that the image quality of the CMOS detector is statistically equivalent or superior to that of the predicate.
2D X-Ray performance bench testing was done and the LineUP was found to perform to industry standards. A board certified radiologist reviewed X-Ray images of the foot, knee, hand, and elbow regions and found them to be of diagnostic quality. The LineUP was also tested to IEC 60601-2-54: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-54: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray equipment for radiography and radioscopy and was found to meet all safety and performance requirements.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

The overall technology, key components and intended use of the LineUP Computed Tomography x-ray system and the predicate device are substantially similar, with certain inconsequential differences described henceforth.

Both the LineUP and pedCAT devices image extremities of similar bone density ranges and utilize a similar gantry to capture the desired anatomy. They are both able to scan feet in a bilateral position. The LineUP has an added capability to elevate the gantry and scan the knees, as well as a transporter accessory to assist in scanning the hand and elbow. The additional support structures on the LineUP have been tested to applicable safety standards. Images of the additional anatomy have been reviewed by a radiologist and

have been found to be of adequate diagnostic quality.

To establish equivalency in performance, an image quality phantom was scanned in the LineUP and evaluated by a medical physicist. Anatomic hand, foot, elbow, and knee phantom scans were also reviewed by a radiologist and found to be of diagnostic quality.

The LineUP uses the same X-Ray tubehead and a similar power supply as the PedCat. The LineUP utilizes a CMOS flat panel image detector while the PedCat uses an amorphous silicon flat panel detector to capture projection images. Performance testing demonstrated that the image quality of the CMOS detector is statistically equivalent or superior to that of the predicate.

The combination of performance testing by a medical physicist, safety and functional testing by a certified third-party testing body, and clinical review of images by a radiologist indicate that LineUP is safe and effective when used as labeled.

2D X-Ray Imaging

Since the predicate device does not capture 2D Plain X-Ray projections, a reference device was used to evaluate the technical performance characteristics of this feature. Information about the reference device is presented in Table 5-4.

2D X-Ray performance bench testing was done and the LineUP was found to perform to industry standards. A board certified radiologist reviewed X-Ray images of the foot, knee, hand, and elbow regions and found them to be of diagnostic quality. The LineUP was also tested to IEC 60601-2-54: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-54: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray equipment for radiography and radioscopy and was found to meet all safety and performance requirements.

The described tests and features establish that the LineUP produces diagnostic quality 2D X-Rays in a safe and effective manner, similar to the currently marketed X-Cel X-Ray Corporation HF 718BD X-Ray System.

Safety and Effectiveness Information:

The LineUP Computed Tomography X-ray system is a Class II medical device.

The LineUP Computed Tomography X-ray system complies with applicable FDA and international standards pertaining to electrical, mechanical, software, EMC, and radiation safety of medical devices.
