The document describes standard X-ray imaging and collision avoidance based on defined guard volumes, not AI/ML.
No
The device is an angiographic X-ray system, which is used for generating images for diagnosis and guiding procedures, not for direct therapeutic treatment. While it can be used for image-guided surgical procedures, it is the imaging component, not the therapeutic device itself.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an "angiographic X-ray system" used for generating "fluoroscopic and rotational images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular, diagnostic and interventional procedures." The mention of "diagnostic procedures" directly indicates its use for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines a system composed of various hardware components including C-arm positioners, X-ray tubes, digital detectors, and image processing units. While software is mentioned for collision avoidance and control, it is an integral part of a larger hardware system, not a standalone software device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for generating fluoroscopic and rotational images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular, diagnostic, interventional, and image-guided surgical procedures. This involves imaging the inside of the body, not testing samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details an X-ray system with components like C-arms, X-ray tubes, detectors, and image processing units. These are all components of an imaging system, not a system for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
The device is an imaging device used for diagnostic and interventional procedures performed on the patient, not with samples from the patient.

Device Description
GE Healthcare IGS interventional x-ray systems are designed to perform monoplane, biplane fluoroscopic x-ray examinations to provide the imaging information needed to perform minimally invasive interventional X-Ray imaging procedures (standard configuration). Additionally, in the OR configuration (with an OR Table), these systems allow to perform surgery and X-Ray image guided surgical procedures in a hybrid Operating Room.
DiscoveryTM IGS 7 OR, DiscoveryTM IGS 7, InnovaTM IGS 6, InnovaTM IGS 5 are the GE Healthcare IGS interventional X-Ray system product models.
Each product model is designed with a set of components that are combined into different configurations for providing specialized interventional x-ray systems. GE Healthcare IGS interventional x-ray system consists of a C-arm positioner (monoplane or biplane), an x-ray imaging table or the interface to the radiologic table, an x-ray tube assembly (per plane), an x-ray power unit with its exposure control unit (per plane), an x-ray imaging chain (including a digital detector and an image processing unit, per plane).
DiscoveryTM IGS 7 is a monoplane system (C-arm with mobile AGV gantry) and is proposed in IGS 740 configuration with a square 41cm digital detector or in IGS 730 configuration with a square 31cm digital detector. These product configurations are declined in sub configurations: Standard or OR configuration. The Innova-IQ table in the OR configuration is the GE OR table.
Discovery™ IGS 7 OR is a monoplane system (C-arm positioner with mobile AGV gantry) and is proposed with a square 41cm digital detector or with a square 31cm digital detector configuration. This is the product model compatible with a qualified configuration of the Maquet Magnus OR table system. This product model is provided with a table integration kit. The Magnus OR table configuration compatible with Discovery™ IGS 7 OR includes a flat table top configuration for Interventional X-Ray imaging and surgery procedures, an optional universal table top (table top with articulated joints) to enable expansion to surgical procedures requiring advanced patient positioning and with X-Ray imaging capabilities. A set of Magnus OR table accessories is included in the compatible configuration.
Innova™ IGS 6 is a biplane system (a dual C-arm positioner, LC and LP gantry) and is provided with an Omega V table. Innova™ IGS 6 is proposed in IGS 630 configuration with a square 31cm digital detector per plane or in IGS 620 configuration with a square 20.5cm digital detector per plane. These product configurations are available in Standard configuration.
Innova™ IGS 5 is a monoplane system (C-arm positioner with LC gantry) and is proposed with a square digital detector of 41cm or 31cm or 20.5cm. These product configurations are available in Standard configuration with Innova-IQ or Omega V table or Omega IV table (IGS 520 configuration only); or in OR configuration with GE OR table.
The purpose of this Premarket Notification is for 2 changes: First, a change of the collision management of Discovery™ IGS 7 OR to enable the use of a Neurosurgical head holder (skull clamp). During trauma neck surgery and stereotactic navigation, a gantry collision with the skull clamp could result in patient harm, delayed or halted surgical procedures. The subject of this submission is to introduce a functionality for adapting the collision avoidance model to the geometrical characteristic of the skull clamp and patient position with a guard volume defined and validated by the operator during the procedure preparation phase. During the procedure, the collision avoidance software will slow down and stop gantry and/or table axis to minimize risk of collision of a motorized moving part with the patient head or the skull clamp. In this configuration, the OR table, the Neurosurgical head holder and its support are from third party Medical device manufacturers. As a consequence, there is no mechanical interfaces between these devices and the Discovery™ 7 OR. Those devices are registered and cleared in the US. The Neurosurgical head holder is from Pro Med Instrument manufacturer (K063494). The OR table is the registered Magnus OR. The second change is for a primary technology change, adding an optional wireless footswitch in the examination room to Innova™ IGS 5, Innova™ IGS 6, Discovery™ IGS 7 and Discovery™ IGS 7 OR. It provides identical functionalities as the wired footswitch for the control of X-ray on and off, and for the control of the table top brake release. Labelling is updated for the enhanced collision management for the use with Neurosurgical head holder and for the wireless footswitch.

| Intended Use: | The angiographic X-ray systems are indicated for use for patients
from newborn to geriatric in generating fluoroscopic and rotational
images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular and non-
vascular, diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Additionally, with the OR table, the angiographic X-ray systems are
indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic and rotational images
of human anatomy for image-guided surgical procedures. |
| | The OR table is suitable for interventional and surgical procedures. |
| Indication for Use: | The angiographic X-ray systems are indicated for use for patients
from newborn to geriatric in generating fluoroscopic and rotational
images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular and non-
vascular, diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Additionally, with the OR table, the angiographic X-ray systems are
indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic and rotational images
of human anatomy for image-guided surgical procedures.
The OR table is suitable for interventional and surgical procedures. |
| Technology: | The modified GE Healthcare IGS Interventional X-Ray systems
employ the same fundamental scientific technology as the
unmodified predicate devices.
The change to enable the dynamic adaptation of the collision
avoidance model with a model fitted to the needs of the operator
and of the procedure, is a software change. The collision avoidance
software is the same as with the predicate devices. The change is
the dynamic adaptation of the collision avoidance model. All causes
of hazard relative to the use of a Neurosurgical head holder in
combination with the Discovery™ IGS 7 OR have been identified and
mitigated.
The optional wireless footswitch consists of a footswitch containing
a transmitter system, a receiver that is installed near the connection
plug of the wired footswitch (at the table base of the Innova-IQ
table, of the Omega table or at the Discovery Control Center table
side cart), and a charger. The introduction of this wireless footswitch
does not change existing electrical or software interface of the
predicate devices. The new option is equivalent to the wired
footswitch on the predicate in that the functionalities are identical.
The communication between the footswitch emitter and the |
| | receiver is performed via a proprietary protocol using 2.4 GHz radio
frequency technology.
The wireless option provides placement flexibility and reduces cable
clutter.
Both changes have no impact on x-ray imaging performance.
The intended use and indications for use remain unchanged from
those of the predicate devices. The expansion to x-ray
interventional, minimally invasive surgery and conventional open
surgery procedures requiring the use of a neurosurgical holder in
combination with Discovery™ IGS 7 OR is included in Discovery IGS
7 OR's indications for use of interventional, image-guided surgical
and surgical procedures. |
| Determination of Substantial
Equivalence: | The modifications to Discovery™ IGS 7 OR collision management
software and to IGS interventional x-ray systems for the wireless
footswitch were developed under the GE Healthcare's design
controls processes and overall quality management system. |
| | IGS interventional x-ray systems conform to 21CFR 1020.30 and 32,
and with voluntary standards IEC 60601-2-43:2010, IEC 62304
(2006) and IEC 62366 (2007). |
| | Risk management activities using risk analysis to identify any
potential issues incorporating the wireless footswitch and the use of
a skull clamp were performed. These issues were assessed and
mitigated. |
| | The following testing was used to assess safety and effectiveness
and, thus, to establish the substantial equivalence with the
predicate devices. |
| | Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:
The following quality management measures were applied to the
development of these modifications:
Simulated Use Testing ensured the system conforms to user
needs and intended uses through simulated clinical
workflow using step-by step procedures that would be
performed for representative clinical applications. Usability validation testing was conducted to confirm that
the product can be used safely and effectively. Participants
were representatives of actual users, with knowledge of the
customer needs and clinical applications. Product verification ensured the system conforms to its
requirements including hazard mitigations risk
management requirements. The verification tests
confirmed that design output meet design input
requirements. Tests were executed at component, software
subsystems and system levels. |
| | Safety testing were performed to confirm that the product
meets the requirements of the aforementioned standards.
It includes the EMC and coexistence testing per the "Radio
Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices"
Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration
Staff issued on August 14, 2013 (Wireless Guidance). |
| | Summary of Clinical Tests:
The subject of this premarket submission, change to Discovery™ IGS
7 OR collision management to enable the use of a neurosurgical
head holder and the change to add an optional wireless footswitch
in the examination room to GE Healthcare interventional x-ray
systems did not require clinical studies to support substantial
equivalence. The expansion to x-ray and surgical procedures
requiring the use of a neurosurgical holder in combination with
Discovery™ IGS 7 OR is included in Discovery IGS 7 OR's indications
for use of image-guided surgical and surgical procedures. It does not
introduce new indications for use. Substantial equivalence relies on
clinical information that is pre-existing on the cleared predicate
devices.
Design verification and validation testing were performed to
confirm that the safety and effectiveness of the devices has not |
| | been affected. The test plans and results have been executed with
acceptable results. |
| Conclusion: | GE Healthcare considers that the Discovery™ IGS 7 OR incorporating
the enhanced collision management for the use of a skull clamp or
that a GE Healthcare IGS interventional x-ray system incorporating
the optional wireless footswitch to be as safe and as effective and
substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
This conclusion is based on the fact that Discovery™ IGS 7 OR
incorporating the collision management optimization for the use in
combination with the Neurosurgical head holder and that GE
Healthcare interventional x-ray systems incorporating the optional
wireless footswitch have: the same indications for use as their predicate devices. The modified devices have the same technological
characteristics as their predicate devices. Verification and Validation testing has demonstrated that
the design inputs, user requirements, and risk mitigations
have been met. Engineering bench testing per the FDA guidance Radio
frequency wireless technology in medical devices as well as
conformance to IEC standards and guidance documents
were provided. |
| | The successful completion of the above testing was sufficient to assess safety and effectiveness and, thus, to establish the substantial equivalence. |
