Intended Use
The Televere Digital Dental Imaging System is intended for radiographic examination by a dental professional to assist in the diagnosing of diseases of the teeth, jaw and oral structures. Not for mammography. Not for fluorosopy.
Device Description
The Televere Digital Dental Imaging System is an extraoral digital x-ray system comprised of two previously cleared individual components: (1) an intraoral detector component (K162619) which connects to a PC via a USB port and (2) and image management software package (i.e., Tigerview Professional, K061035). The device detector comes in two sizes: 600mm² (Hamamatsu CMOS area image sensor, S11684-12) and 884mm² (Hamamatsu CMOS area image sensor, S116845-12). X-ray generators that can integrate with the Televere Digital Dental Imaging System are wall-mounted x-ray generators (both AC and DC) with a tube current between 1 and 15mA inclusive, and with a tube voltage between 50 and 100kV inclusive, with built in controls to set exposure parameters. Generators allow variable mA/kV to be selected, all will control the exposure time. The device and software cannot act as an x-ray generator controller. All control of xray generation is done by controls built into the generator itself. There is no connection between the device and the x-ray generator. The device is an x-ray receiver and does not control the generator.
More Information

No
The summary describes a digital x-ray system and image management software. While it mentions image processing, there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
The device is used for radiographic examination to assist in diagnosing diseases, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states that the device is "to assist in the diagnosing of diseases of the teeth, jaw and oral structures."

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of two previously cleared components: an intraoral detector component (hardware) and an image management software package. It also mentions the detector comes in two sizes and uses a Hamamatsu CMOS area image sensor, which are 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 that the system is for "radiographic examination by a dental professional to assist in the diagnosing of diseases of the teeth, jaw and oral structures." This involves capturing and processing medical images, which is a function of a medical imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details an extraoral digital x-ray system comprised of an intraoral detector and image management software. It receives x-rays and processes the resulting image data. This aligns with the function of a medical imaging system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.

The device is a medical imaging system used for diagnostic purposes, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Televere Digital Dental Imaging System is an extraoral digital x-ray system comprised of two previously cleared individual components: (1) an intraoral detector component (K162619) which connects to a PC via a USB port and (2) and image management software package (i.e., Tigerview Professional, K061035). The device detector comes in two sizes: 600mm² (Hamamatsu CMOS area image sensor, S11684-12) and 884mm² (Hamamatsu CMOS area image sensor, S116845-12). X-ray generators that can integrate with the Televere Digital Dental Imaging System are wall-mounted x-ray generators (both AC and DC) with a tube current between 1 and 15mA inclusive, and with a tube voltage between 50 and 100kV inclusive, with built in controls to set exposure parameters. Generators allow variable mA/kV to be selected, all will control the exposure time. The device and software cannot act as an x-ray generator controller. All control of xray generation is done by controls built into the generator itself. There is no connection between the device and the x-ray generator. The device is an x-ray receiver and does not control the generator.

The previously cleared Tigerview™ Professional software (K061035) provides basic image adjustment features. An image adjustment system allows 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. NOTE: The Tigerview ™ Professional software incorporated into the Televere Digital Dental Imaging system is unchanged from the Predicate software (i.e., K061035)

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

The results of clinical image inspection, bench, and laboratory test results demonstrate that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Clinical images highlight equal or better image quality as compared to the predicate.
Bench Testing: IEC Standards have been employed for: Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility. The panel power supply is UL Listed. The CMOS area image sensor 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 in accordance with FDA guidance documents. Since no software modifications were required, confirmation testing was performed. Labeling was developed to comply with the FDA solid state panel guidance document.
Clinical Testing: Sample clinical images from the new device were also provided however they were 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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good
