Intended Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
Device Description
The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system is a stationary x-ray system designed for general radiography and used to capture images by transmitting X-ray to a patient's body. The Xray passing through a patient's body is sent to the detector and then converted into electrical signals. These signals go through the process of amplification and digital data conversion in the signal process on the S-station, which is the Operation Software (OS) of Samsung Digital Diagnostic X-ray System, and save in DICOM file, a standard for medical imaging. The captured images are tuned up by an Image Post-processing Engine (IPE) which is exclusively installed in S-station, and sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) sever for reading images. The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was previously cleared with K172229, and through this premarket notification, we would like to add more configurations in the previously cleared GC85A as three High Voltage Generators and two detectors are newly added, and three software features are newly added as stated below. S-Enhance is renamed from Tube & Line Enhancement (TLE), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, to enhance visibility of tubes and lines and provide enhanced images separately from original images. In this submission, the scope of S-Enhance is expanded from tubes and lines on chest images to foreign body (e.g. tubes, lines and needles) and urinary stones on chest, abdomen, and L-spine. And Pediatric Exposure Management (PEM), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, is subdivided patient size and exposure conditions especially for pediatric patients based on weight and protocols, and Remote View to enable the images on the device is being displayed on the remote monitor. It was determined that the level of concern for the software contained in the GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was Moderate in accordance with the FDA guidance, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Device".
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard digital image processing techniques (amplification, digital conversion, post-processing) and software features for image enhancement and exposure management. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training data or algorithms that learn from data.

No
The device is used for generating radiographic images, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes.
The device is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy and the images are sent to a PACS server for reading. The "Intended Use" section explicitly states "The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy". The "Device Description" also mentions that the "S-station" is the "Operation Software (OS) of Samsung Digital Diagnostic X-ray System," directly linking this system to diagnostic purposes. Furthermore, the system is designed to "capture images by transmitting X-ray to a patient's body," and these images are then "sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) sever for reading images," which is a key step in diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a "digital X-ray imaging system" which includes hardware components like an X-ray generator and detector, in addition to software for image processing and operation.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "generating radiographic images of human anatomy". This is a diagnostic imaging device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device captures X-ray images of a patient's body and processes those images. This aligns with the function of a medical imaging system, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is X-ray, which is a form of medical imaging, not a method used for in vitro diagnostics.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on "human anatomy" and specific body parts like the chest, abdomen, and L-spine. IVDs are used on samples taken from the body.

In summary, the GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is a medical imaging device used for generating radiographic images of the human body, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies

Phantom image evaluations for the new detector and S-Enhance were performed in accordance with FDA guidance for the submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices. Anthropomorphic phantom images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modifications to the device (note X-ray flat-panel detector similar to the predicate detector) but they provide further evidence in addition to the performance data to show that the complete system works as intended. They were evaluated by professional radiologists and found to be equivalent to the predicate devices. There is no significant difference in the average score considering the standard deviation of image quality evaluation between the proposed device and the predicate device and it is confirmed that S-Enhance is able to generate a companion image which provide clear visibility for foreign bodies such as lines, tubes, and needles, and urinary stones in chest, abdomen, and L-spine protocol in addition to the original images. Therefore, these changes do not affect either the safety or the effectiveness, compared to the predicated device.

The Xray passing through a patient's body is sent to the detector and then converted into electrical signals. These signals go through the process of amplification and digital data conversion in the signal process on the S-station, which is the Operation Software (OS) of Samsung Digital Diagnostic X-ray System, and save in DICOM file, a standard for medical imaging. The captured images are tuned up by an Image Post-processing Engine (IPE) which is exclusively installed in S-station, and sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) sever for reading images.

The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was previously cleared with K172229, and through this premarket notification, we would like to add more configurations in the previously cleared GC85A as three High Voltage Generators and two detectors are newly added, and three software features are newly added as stated below.

S-Enhance is renamed from Tube & Line Enhancement (TLE), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, to enhance visibility of tubes and lines and provide enhanced images separately from original images. In this submission, the scope of S-Enhance is expanded from tubes and lines on chest images to foreign body (e.g. tubes, lines and needles) and urinary stones on chest, abdomen, and L-spine. And Pediatric Exposure Management (PEM), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, is subdivided patient size and exposure conditions especially for pediatric patients based on weight and protocols, and Remote View to enable the images on the device is being displayed on the remote monitor. It was determined that the level of concern for the software contained in the GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was Moderate in accordance with the FDA guidance, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Device".

8. Intended Use

The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.

9. Summary of Technological characteristic of the proposed device compared with the predicate device

The proposed device GC85A apply software features as S-Enhance and Pediatric Exposure, which were cleared with K171119, and Remote View to GC85A product which was cleared with K172229 without changes in technical characteristics, materials, energy sources and biocompatibility such as X-ray Tube Assembly except of high voltage generator and detector. Optional high voltage generators and detectors which were improved durability and dust/water-resistance are added to GC85A.

Comparisons of technological characteristics were executed and demonstrate the substantial equivalence to the predicate.

Phantom image evaluations for the new detector and S-Enhance were performed in accordance with FDA guidance for the submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices. Anthropomorphic phantom images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modifications to the device (note X-ray flat-panel detector similar to the predicate detector) but they provide further evidence in addition to the performance data to show that the complete system works as intended. They were evaluated by professional radiologists and found to be equivalent to the predicate devices. There is no significant difference in the average score considering the standard deviation of image quality evaluation between the proposed device and the predicate device and it is confirmed that S-Enhance is able to generate a companion image which provide clear visibility for foreign bodies such as lines, tubes, and

E. Conclusions

The non-clinical and clinical data demonstrate that the proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed device.
