To irradiate cellular blood products to inactivate T-lymphocytes in order to prevent Graft Versus Host Disease.
The Raycell Mk1 x-ray blood irradiator consists of one cabinet containing one x-ray tube, one highvoltage power supply, one radiation shielding chamber, control electronics, an internal cooling system, two removable shielding access panels to the irradiation chamber, a touch-based Graphical User Interface, and additional operator controls. The operator places the blood products to be irradiated in the canister or syringe holder, opens the door, places the canister or syringe holder on the turntable, closes the door and indicates the irradiation cvcle on the Graphical User Interface. The Operator then uses the Operator controls to start the irradiation cycle. The design of this device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
This document describes the Raycell MK1, an x-ray blood irradiator. However, the provided text does not contain acceptance criteria or study details in the format requested, relating to AI/device performance metrics, sample sizes, expert ground truth, or MRMC studies.
The document is a 510(k) summary for the Raycell MK1, which is a medical device for irradiating cellular blood products. The primary aim of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily to prove specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria in the manner often associated with AI/software performance studies.
Here's a breakdown of what is and isn't in the provided text, in relation to your request:
What is present (partial information):
- Device Name: Raycell MK1
- Intended Use: To irradiate cellular blood products to inactivate T-lymphocytes in order to prevent Graft Versus Host Disease.
- Predicate Device: Raycell MK2 (K161324)
- Safety & Effectiveness Statement: "The safety of the Raycell is equivalent or better than the predicate device." and "Validation testing demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device."
- Compliance Standards: IEC 60601-1-2:2014-02 and IEC 60601-1:2012-08 (These are general medical electrical equipment safety and performance standards, not specific performance metrics for the irradiation itself).
- Testing Method (general): "The performance of the device was tested against a set of functional specifications in an environment that simulated, as much as possible, the actual operating environment."
What is NOT present in the provided text, and therefore cannot be answered from this document:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in terms of specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.): The document only generally states that "validation testing demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device." It does not provide quantitative performance metrics.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: No information on the number of samples (e.g., blood bags) tested, or where the data came from.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications: This device is not an AI/diagnostic device that typically relies on expert interpretation for ground truth. Ground truth for an irradiator would be related to the actual dosage delivered and its biological effect.
- Adjudication method: Not applicable for this type of device and study description.
- If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size: Not applicable/not mentioned. This is a physical device, not an AI assistance tool for human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable/not mentioned.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): While the device's function is to inactivate T-lymphocytes, the document doesn't detail how the effectiveness of this inactivation was rigorously measured or what constituted "ground truth" for its performance validation.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device requiring a training set in that context.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
Conclusion based on the provided text:
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by describing design changes and compliance with general safety standards. It does not provide the specific performance metrics, study designs (like MRMC), sample sizes, or ground truth details typically associated with the type of acceptance criteria and studies you've asked about for an AI-powered diagnostic/analysis device. The "performance of the device was tested against a set of functional specifications," but these specifications and their results are not detailed.

Description of Device
The Raycell Mk1 x-ray blood irradiator consists of one cabinet containing one x-ray tube, one highvoltage power supply, one radiation shielding chamber, control electronics, an internal cooling system, two removable shielding access panels to the irradiation chamber, a touch-based Graphical User Interface, and additional operator controls. The operator places the blood products to be irradiated in the canister or syringe holder, opens the door, places the canister or syringe holder on the turntable, closes the door and indicates the irradiation cvcle on the Graphical User Interface. The Operator then uses the Operator controls to start the irradiation cycle. The design of this device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Intended Use of Device
To irradiate cellular blood products to inactivate T-lymphocytes in order to prevent Graft Versus Host Disease.
This is the same intended use as previously cleared for the Raycell MK2 X-ray Blood Irradiator, (K161324).
The intended use of the modified device, as described in the labeling, has not changed as a result of the modifications.
Summary of Technological Characteristics
The Raycell is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K161324).
The change to the Raycell design is to simplify the predicate design and have only one x-ray source. The same x-ray tube and high voltage generator is used in the new Raycell unit, but at lower power (3.2 kW). The system has a self-contained water cooling system and a new control system with a graphical user interface.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for "Best Theratronics". The word "Best" is written in a stylized, cursive font in a dark blue color. Above and to the right of the word "Best" is the registered trademark symbol. Below the word "Best" is the word "Theratronics" written in a green, sans-serif font.
Following is a list of changes to the new design:
Canister Size
The new device is available only in a 1.6L. The predicate device was available in a 3.5L or 2L configuration.
Shielded Irradiation Chamber
The new device uses a lead shielded chamber as did the predicate design. Access is provided to the chamber via a sliding door.
Sliding Door
A sliding drawer arrangement has been replaced with a sliding door. External radiation fields have been decreased and manufacturability aspects have been improved.
All electrical interlocks have been maintained including an electro-mechanical safety interlock which prevents operators from opening the sample door when x-rays are generated.
Mechanical Motion
The shielded chamber includes stepper motors and shafts to rotate and translate a graphite cradle and reflector respectively. Interlocks prevent the operator from opening the sample door when motion is occurring.
Self Contained Water Cooling system
The new MK1 uses a self contained water cooling system. This replaces the need for an external water supply.
Digital Traceability
As with the predicate device, optional digital traceability is available as a database to be used with the Raycell to eliminate the need for manually recording data and reducing human error. This consists of a bar code reader to record and store data from the blood bag and view it on the integrated touch screen. It is able to retrieve cycle times from the Raycell, which allows the user to keep a history of the radiation cycles completed. It has no impact on radiation times or dose delivered and is not useable as a stand-alone product.
It is not intended to determine the suitability of donors and/or the release of blood or blood components for transfusion or further manufacture.
It does not change the intended use of the previously cleared Raycell X-ray Blood Irradiator.
Safety & Effectiveness
The safety of the Raycell is equivalent or better than the predicate device.
In terms of safety, the Raycell is designed to comply with
- . IEC 60601-1-2: Edition 4.0 2014-02 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for safety - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests (Appendix L)
- IEC 60601-1: Edition 3.1 2012-08 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for . basic safety and essential performance (Appendix M)
The performance of the device was tested against a set of functional specifications in an environment that simulated, as much as possible, the actual operating environment. Validation testing demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
